How to review a TD Bank renewal offer

When $TD Bank sends your renewal letter, check the rate against the current Bank of Canada benchmark. The initial offer is rarely the best available rate. Lenders send renewal letters at or near posted rates knowing that many customers sign without comparison.

TD is Canada's second-largest bank by assets. TD renewal offers follow a standard posted-to-discounted structure. Existing customers with TD chequing, savings, or investment accounts may receive incremental rate discounts at renewal, though the initial offer often starts higher than the bank's best available rate.

Before accepting any renewal offer, compare it against a mortgage broker quote and the current FairRate benchmark. The difference between a negotiated rate and an initial renewal offer can be hundreds of dollars per month on a typical Canadian mortgage balance.

What to check before signing

  • Compare the offered rate against the current Bank of Canada benchmark.
  • Request a competing quote from a mortgage broker before responding to the renewal letter.
  • Call the lender retention department, not the branch — retention has more pricing authority.
  • Check penalty wording, prepayment privileges, and portability before committing to any term.
  • Confirm whether you are renewing insured or conventional — this affects the benchmark comparison.
