Avoiding Fees

TD Convenience Checking $15 Monthly Fee

This is waived if you have a minimum daily balance of $100.

TD Premier Checking $25 Monthly Fee

This is waived if you have a minimum daily balance of $2,500.

TD Beyond Savings $15 Monthly Fee

This account has a $15 monthly fee, this is waived if you have a $20,000 minimum daily balance.

TD Simple Savings $5 Monthly Fee

This account has no monthly fee for the first year and after that period a $5 fee is charged if a monthly minimum of $300 or less.

Early Account Termination Fee

In their online fee schedule, there is no mention of an early account termination fee. The fine print does say the accounts need to be kept open for 6 months or the bonus is forfeit though.

Our Verdict

Previously this was targeted, now it’s available in selected states. In fact you can do this bonus even if you’ve done a TD Bank bonus before (new terms added mean this is no longer possible). Savings bonus should be worth doing as you only need $10,000 in the account for 90 days and no monthly fee to worry about in the first year. That works out to be an effective interest rate of 8%+. The checking bonus is also worth doing.

I’d recommend doing this ASAP as it’s the best bonus we’ve seen from TD Bank and it also seems like they are letting people do it again. We’ve never seen that before either so I’d be worried they will pull this bonus early. We will add this to our list of the best bank account bonuses.
