The Bad
- APR range
- Other potential fees
- Service eligibility restrictions
APR Range
Annual percentage rates (APRs) from TD Bank range from 13.24 to 23.24 percent. The APR that a customer is actually charged is based on the individual's current credit rating and varies based on the prime market rate. These rates are slightly higher than offerings from similar competitors, so consumers looking to consolidate debt by transferring balances from other owned cards may want to consider acquiring a card from another company with lower interest rates.
Other Potential Fees
TD Bank charges a $35 fee for late payments. It is unclear if a fee may be assessed on returned payments. While there is no foreign transaction fee for most offered cards, the company does charge a 3 percent foreign transaction fee on the TD Ameritrade Client Rewards credit card. This transaction fee can be expensive for frequent travelers who make extensive purchases while abroad. Most credit cards from TD Bank do not have annual fees except for the TD First Class credit card, which has an $89 fee after the first year. Balance transfer and cash advance fees on all available cards range from 3 to 5 percent or $10, whichever is greater.
Service Eligibility Restrictions
The company's services are only available in 16 states. Consumers must be a legal resident of Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, or Washington DC. in order to be eligible to apply for credit cards and other services. Additional restrictions may also apply. Interested consumers must visit a TD Bank branch to apply for a credit card.
The Bottom Line
TD Bank offers customers a variety of secured credit card options to choose from with an extensive range of perks. These credit cards are best suited for consumers with excellent credit seeking a card for frequent everyday purchases. Cardholders are able to earn numerous financial reward incentives for frequent use on everyday purchases. The company also provides a free online knowledge base of credit, finance, and tax topics. Mobile and online banking services provide customer with instant access to statements and greater ease in making payments and transferring funds. However, the credit card offers feature various fees for travel purchases, balance transfers, and cash advances which are higher than most charged by similar competitors. Consumers are required to be a resident of one of the 16 states where the company is available and applications must be completed in person. Consumers wishing to consolidate debt or make frequent travel purchases may want to consider similar competitors' credit card offers that provide lower rates for these types of activities.
