TD Every Day Chequing Account

Our take: TD’s mid-tier chequing account: 25 free transactions a month plus unlimited public transit transactions, with the $11.95 fee waived if you keep $3,000 in the account — a reasonable middle ground for people who don’t need unlimited transactions but want more than the minimum plan.

The Every Day Chequing Account sits between TD’s low-fee Minimum Chequing Account and its unlimited-transaction plans. It includes 25 transactions a month plus unlimited public transit transactions, a $11.95 monthly fee that’s waived with a $3,000 minimum balance, and free Interac e-Transfers. It’s built for people whose banking activity is more than occasional but doesn’t need to be unlimited.

MoneyMint · Real annual cost
$72a year, if you use the balance waiver

The $3,000 waiver does not make this account free. It changes what it costs from $143 a year to about $72 — because that $3,000 earns nothing sitting in a chequing account.

Pay the fee$143.40$11.95 × 12 months
Or hold $3,000$72.00Interest that $3,000 would earn at 2.40% elsewhere
Real annual cost$72.00The cheaper of the two

The waiver is the better of the two options here. You would need to tie up close to $5,975 before paying the $11.95 outright became cheaper. But it is not the same as a free account.

There is a third option this comparison makes visible: a chequing account with no monthly fee at all, with the $3,000 kept in savings instead. That costs nothing and earns the $72.

Which is right depends on whether you would keep that $3,000 idle anyway. If it is a buffer you never touch and never intended to invest, the waiver costs you little in practice. If you are stretching to hit the minimum, or that money could be working, the real cost is the full $72 — and a no-fee account is the better answer. See our chequing account ranking and best high-interest savings rates.

Real annual cost is the lower of the annual fee and the interest given up on the balance needed to waive it. The 2.40% comparison rate is the highest rate available with no conditions among the savings accounts we track, checked September 17, 2026. Run your own numbers →

Like TD’s other fee-waived accounts, the $3,000 minimum balance must be maintained at the end of every single day of the month — not as a monthly average. If your balance dips below $3,000 even once, the $11.95 fee applies for that period. Verified against td.com on September 17, 2026.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • 25 included transactions a month plus unlimited public transit transactions is enough for most moderate banking activity
  • Free Interac e-Transfers with no per-transfer cost
  • Fee is fully waived with a $3,000 minimum balance
  • Lower senior rate ($8.20) if the fee applies
  • Standard TD digital tools: mobile deposit, direct deposit, TD MySpend, overdraft protection

Cons

  • $11.95 monthly fee if you can’t maintain the $3,000 balance
  • Additional transactions beyond the included 25 cost $1.25 each
  • Non-TD and foreign ATM fees apply ($2 in Canada, $3 in the U.S./Mexico, $5 elsewhere)
  • No welcome offer is currently advertised specifically for this account, unlike some of TD’s other plans
  • Paper statements cost $2 a month if you don’t switch to e-statements

Who It’s For

Best For

  • People with moderate monthly transaction volume who don’t need an unlimited-transaction plan
  • Anyone who can reliably keep $3,000 in their chequing account to avoid the fee entirely
  • Public transit users, since transit transactions don’t count against the 25-transaction limit

Not For

  • Heavy transaction users who would regularly exceed 25 transactions and pay $1.25 each for the overage
  • Anyone who can’t maintain a $3,000 balance and would rather avoid fees altogether with a no-fee digital account
  • Frequent non-TD or foreign ATM users, given the added per-transaction ATM fees
