TD Bank Aims for U.S. Growth Despite Asset Cap
TD Bank, a Canadian bank, is trying to grow its business in the United States, even though there are some rules that limit how much they can expand.
They're not allowed to have more than a certain amount of money in their U.S. bank accounts, around $434 billion.
To fix this, TD is improving its money-laundering controls by hiring experts and spending money.
They plan to improve profits, especially with credit cards and wealth management, aiming for clients with lots of money.
Although they can't grow as quickly, TD is still growing, having freed up space by cutting other operations.
Some investors are concerned about spending money but TD hopes to boost productivity.
TD's U.S. division is constrained by an asset cap of $434 billion due to an anti-money-laundering probe.
The bank is focused on improving returns and expanding credit card lending and wealth management.
TD has 10 million retail customers and 700,000 small-business and commercial clients.
The bank has freed up space for lending by exiting less-profitable portfolios and restructuring bonds.
TD is cutting costs by closing 38 branches and focusing on an investor day on September 29.
