Cards – the safe, convenient way to travel
-

Track your spending wherever you are
Ever wonder where your money goes? We make it easy to keep track. Our online and mobile banking tools let you easily monitor your debit card transactions
Save on foreign transaction fees
When you use your TD Bank cards overseas, you’ll pay no foreign transaction fees.
A foreign transaction fee is typically a 3% charge on any transaction. That can really add up: a typical family vacation overseas could cost $5,000 – a possible savings of $150 in fees! That’s another dinner in your favorite city, a babysitter for the kids plus parents’ night out, or even another night at your hotel.
When you save on fees, you can spend more on what makes a vacation great – adventures and memories.
