However, there are a few differences in the transaction limits, processing time and fees charged by these financial institutions. Now let’s look at the TD limit below.
What is the TD e-Transfer Limit?
Generally speaking, the minimum amount of money you can send via Interac e-Transfer is $0.01.
However, TD Bank has a fixed standard which determines the maximum amount you can send via e-Transfer over some time.
The officially specified TD e-Transfer limit is as follows:
- $3,000 per “Single” transfer
- $3,000 at any given 24-hour period
- $10,000 at any given 7-day period
- $20,000 at any given 30-day period
TD Bank explicitly states that the above figures apply when sending money via e-Transfer, and also when accepting an incoming request for money.
The maximum amount of money you can request at once via TD e-Transfer is $3,000.
And, it is important to also mention that a TD account holder can only accept an e-Transfer money request that falls within his/her send limits.
TD e-Transfer Limit increase
Unlike other popular Canadian banks, TD doesn’t disclose how to increase its e-Transfers limits at the moment.
However, you can contact TD to negotiate how you can increase your e-transfer limit.
To contact TD, you can either visit any of the nearest TD bank branches or you can contact the bank at 1-866-222-3456.
How Does TD e-Transfer Limit Rollover?
The date and time of your last e-Transfer on a TD Canada account determines when the limits will be rolled over.
Below is a quick example of the calculation for 24 hours:
- Assuming that at 8:00 am today, you maxed out the $3,000 daily send limit with your last TD e-Transfer
- That 24-hour e-Transfer limit will simply remain effective on your TD Canada account till 7:59 am tomorrow.
