Investigation Overview

TD Bank has undergone investigations by several U.S. authorities, including the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. These investigations primarily center around the bank’s compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Regulatory bodies have raised concerns over how TD Bank manages financial transactions within the U.S. banking system, leading to a broader inquiry into its practices.

Resolution with U.S. Authorities

Following extensive investigations, TD Bank has reached resolutions with U.S. authorities. These resolutions include consent orders and plea agreements with the Department of Justice. As part of the settlement, TD Bank has agreed to heightened regulatory oversight, which is intended to ensure future compliance with U.S. laws and regulations. This includes stricter control mechanisms for its banking activities.

Asset Cap and Further Restrictions

One significant aspect of the settlement is an asset cap imposed on TD Bank's U.S. banking subsidiaries. According to the terms of the consent orders, the total assets of TD Bank’s two U.S. subsidiaries are now subject to a cap. Additionally, TD Bank is required to implement more stringent approval processes for any new bank products, services, or market expansions in the U.S. These measures aim to enhance regulatory oversight of the bank’s operations moving forward.
