TD Canada Trust opens new branch in South Surrey

SURREY, BC, Nov. 24, 2012 /CNW/ - TD Canada Trust today officially opened its newest branch in Surrey, a fast growing urban centre in Metro Vancouver. Conveniently located at the intersection of King George and 152^nd Street, this new 5,500-square-foot branch is full service and will serve the growing needs of residents and business owners who live and work in South Surrey and White Rock.

"The new branch is very open and inviting with a lounge area for customers to enjoy themselves while they are waiting for an appointment," said Jessica Watson, Branch Manager. "It will now be easier for people to run all their errands as we are conveniently located close to many businesses that people frequently visit."

Features of the new branch include:

• An open concept design that helps TD serve customers better by moving financial specialists out from behind desks directly to the customers.
• A customer lounge with a coffee station and magazine rack lets customers wait in comfort if they arrive early for an appointment or are waiting for their friends or family to complete their banking.
• A community boardroom designed for use by businesses and not-for-profit groups.  This room is available free-of-charge and includes business services such as video conferencing capabilities and a printer.
• A community wall shares a pictorial story about the area.  The current display features projects funded by the local chapter of the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and includes space for community groups to post flyers about upcoming events.
• Digital displays mounted throughout the branch provide customers with current information about TD products and services.

In addition to the grand-opening festivities and ribbon-cutting ceremony, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation made a $5,000 donation to Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society as part of TD's strong commitment to the environment and the community.
