Taking the money out of the bank is a pain.

• ACH push to a different bank takes 3 business days.
• Transfer limits from TD Bank checking
  • per transfer - $2,500
  • daily - $3,000
  • rolling 30-day limit - $5,000
• Transfer limits from TD Bank savings
  • per transfer - $2,500
  • daily - $3,000
  • rolling 30-day limit - $5,000

From the customer service reps → tech department:

• It is not possible to override these limits.
• TD bank uses Fiserv to do the external transfers.
• Fiserv is not same as ACH.
• You cannot do ACH transfers from their website.

Depositing money into the account is also painful.

• Deposited a check on 7/20 (Thu). It was pending asof 7/27 (Thu) and got cleared on 7/28 (Fri). Apparently, they hold the funds for 6 business days.
• Compare this with Capitalone where it takes 1-2 business days for the funds to be fully available. Deposited a check on 7/17 (Mon) and it was fully available on 7/19 (Wed).

Receiving money via Zelle is very restrictive.

• My friend tried to transfer $3,500 via Zelle from a BofA account to my TD Bank checking account. It failed. Looks like TD Bank has a limit on how much can be received via Zelle.
