TD Bank, N.A., is a bank holding company in the United States that offers banking, insurance, brokerage, and investment banking services in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. The bank is a successor to the Portland Savings Bank, which started in Portland, Maine, in 1852, and later became Banknorth. The bank took its current name—TD Bank, N.A.—in 2008, through the acquisition and re-naming of Commerce Bank and its subsequent merger with TD Banknorth, resulting in co-headquarters in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and Portland, Maine. The acquisition of the South Financial Group expanded TD's footprint to include North Carolina, South Carolina and Mercantile Bank branches in Florida. The company is a part of Toronto-Dominion Bank, which operates as TD Bank Financial Group and is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The bank's "TD" initials, first popularized in Canada, are used officially for all American operations. The bank embraces a retail approach to banking. The branches are called "stores" and have extended operation hours. <a href="http://www.tdbank.com/community/community_sponsorships.html">Visit here</a>, to learn more about TD Bank's Community Sponsorships program.
