How to complete a TD Bank balance transfer

1. Compare your options. Look at the card’s 0% intro APR period, how long it lasts and the APR that applies after that. Choose the card that best fits your needs.
2. Apply for the card. TD Bank lets you request multiple balance transfers while you fill out your credit card application form. Prioritize which balance transfers you’ll need first because your credit limit may not allow all requests to process.
3. Submit your application. If approved, expect your card to arrive within 7 to 10 days. However, this doesn’t mean your balance transfer has been completed.
4. Wait for your balance transfer to finish. It may take between two and four weeks for the balance transfer to process. Keep paying your old balance until the balance transfer is complete.

Note: You can also request your balance transfer by phone. Call 888-561-8861 to start the procedure.

Eligibility requirements

You may apply for a TD Bank credit card if you:

• Are at least 18 years of age, 19 if you live in Alabama or Nebraska and 21 if you live in Mississippi.
• Are a US resident.
• Have a US address.
• Have a valid Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.

What do I need to apply?

Have the following information on hand when applying for a TD Bank card:

• Full name
• Phone number and email address
• Residential address, residential status, and monthly rent or mortgage
• Social Security number and date of birth
• Employment information and total annual income

Details you need to know before getting started

Applying for a balance transfer is a straightforward process, but there is the fine print to keep in mind.

• Balance transfer fees. Both TD cards that come with a balance transfer intro APR period come with a 3% fee of the amount transferred with a $5 minimum fee. This means a balance transfer of $7,500 will cost you $225 in transfer fees.
• Balance transfer amount. TD Bank doesn’t disclose the amount you can transfer. Typically, you can transfer either up to 95% or 100% of your available credit limit including balance transfer fees.
• Originating bank. Banks rarely allow transferring a balance from the same bank, including affiliated institutions. This means you can’t make a balance transfer from another TD Bank credit card.
• What happens after the intro period ends? If you still have an unpaid balance after the intro APR period ends, you start to accrue interest at the revert APR.

Benefits and drawbacks of a balance transfer with TD Bank

I got the card. Now what?

• Check that your balance transfer is complete. Check your card’s transaction details and look for your transfer to post. You can also call TD Bank support to verify its completion.
• Make payments on time. Consider setting up automatic payments to avoid late fees and to keep your intro APR intact. Also, consider breaking up your balance transfer debt into monthly payments so you can pay it off before your intro APR expires.
• Contact customer support. Call TD Credit Card Services at 888-561-8861. You can also reach customer support at TD Bank’s customer support forum or tweet the bank @TDBank_US.

Bottom line

TD Bank balance transfer cards offer rewards, and you may qualify for a relatively low APR.

But if you’re not sure a TD Bankcard is best for your balance transfer, compare other credit cards to find the best balance transfer card for your situation.
