With multiple ways to access your funds, online and mobile banking tools, you'll be able to manage your account on the go, at your convenience.

Thanks to TD Bank and Visa account/card protection features, you can bank safely and securely, knowing you're protected against unauthorized charges. However, TD Bank's Customer Service is available 24/7 to help you with whatever you might need, although there are many resources you can find on the bank's website already.

Since this is a checking account without any balance requirements, it is fairly a good deal. However, if you can keep at least $100 in your account, then you might want to open a TD Convenience Checking, and pay no monthly fees at all.
