The company is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.

TD Bank (Toronto-Dominion Bank) operates a diversified multinational retail, commercial, and wholesale banking business model across Canada and the United States. Revenue is generated through two primary engines: Net Interest Income (NII) earned on the spread between interest earned on residential mortgages, commercial loans, personal credit lines, and credit cards versus interest paid on customer deposits; and Non-Interest Fee Income. Fee income encompasses wealth management and asset management fees via TD Wealth, retail banking service charges, credit card interchange fees, property and casualty insurance underwriting premiums via TD Insurance, and institutional investment banking, advisory, and trading revenues through TD Securities.
