A first among Canada’s Financial Institutions
Built in collaboration with Atomic, a U.S.-based fintech company powering embedded banking infrastructure, including direct deposit switching, bill and subscription management and payment switching, TD is the first bank in Canada to offer a fully integrated, in-app payroll direct deposit switching experience. TD holds exclusive Canadian rights to this capability through the end of 2026, reinforcing the Bank’s focus on delivering innovative digital experiences that help meet client needs.
The launch also supports TD’s “digital first, human always” approach, combining modern digital convenience with the security, trust, advice and support that clients expect from a full-service bank.
In collaboration with Atomic, TD is making a once-manual banking task faster, simpler and more secure for Canadian clients on the mobile app, delivering an innovative digital experience that puts clients at the centre.
