As of September 2026, TD Bank’s checking lineup is TD Essential Banking ($4.95/month), TD Complete Checking ($15/month), and TD Beyond Checking ($25/month). Overdraft fees are $35 per item (capped at 3 per day, $105 maximum; none on TD Essential Banking) — but no fee applies at all if the account is overdrawn by $50 or less, and TD’s Overdraft Grace feature refunds the fee for larger shortfalls if you restore your balance to positive by 11 PM ET the next business day. Out-of-network ATM fees are $3.00 per transaction.
Correction note: TD’s older “TD Simple Checking” ($5.99/month) and “TD Convenience Checking” ($15/month, waived with any direct deposit or $100 balance) product names are discontinued. The current lineup and waiver structure is different — see below. Confirm current product names and terms at td.com, as TD periodically updates its account lineup.
TD Bank’s competitive advantage remains geographic accessibility of hours: TD’s branches and ~2,700 ATMs are concentrated on the East Coast (Maine to Florida), with some locations open Sundays. Here’s the current fee schedule.

Checking Account Fees
| Account | Monthly Fee | How to Waive |
|---|---|---|
| TD Essential Banking | $4.95 | Free for ages 13-17 |
| TD Complete Checking | $15 | $500+ direct deposits, OR $500 minimum daily balance, OR $5,000 combined balance, OR age 17-23 |

TD Beyond Checking is the premium tier. TD’s fee schedule waives its official check, money order, incoming wire and stop payment fees on Beyond, reimburses one outgoing wire per statement cycle and up to 2 overdraft fees a calendar year ($70 maximum), and refunds non-TD ATM surcharges when the account keeps a $2,500 minimum daily balance.

Avoiding TD Bank Overdraft Fees
- Stay within $50 — No fee applies if the account is overdrawn by $50 or less

- Link a TD savings account — Automatic transfers to cover shortfalls; confirm current transfer fee at td.com
- Leave debit card overdraft coverage off — ATM and everyday debit card transactions that would overdraw decline instead (checks and ACH items can still be paid with a fee)
- Set up balance alerts — Get notified before you go negative

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly fee (main account) | $15 (Complete Checking) | $15 (Sept 2026) | $12 | $0 | $0 |

TD Bank’s Advantages
| Feature | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Sunday hours | Offered at some stores; hours vary by store |

Is TD Bank Worth It?
TD Bank makes sense if you:
- Live on the East Coast (Maine to Florida)
- Value Sunday service at some stores
- Can meet TD Complete Checking’s $500 direct deposit or balance waiver
- Rarely use ATMs outside TD locations
Consider alternatives if you:
- Live outside the East Coast
- Travel frequently outside the Northeast
- Frequently overdraft (Bank of America charges $10, Ally $0)
- Want no monthly fees at all (Capital One, Ally)
