TD Canada Trust Statement Explained: Anatomy and Layout Quirks
What every section of a TD Canada Trust statement means - and the four layout quirks (TD Canada vs TD US distinction, Institution #004 routing, EasyWeb terminology, Canadian DD/MM CAD format) that you need to know to parse Canadian TD statements.
TD Canada Trust is the Canadian retail banking arm of TD Bank Group, the parent company that also owns TD Bank, N.A. (the US arm). TD Canada and TD US share a logo (the green shield) and a parent, but they are legally separate banks with different statement formats. If you process statements for clients with both Canadian and US TD accounts, knowing the differences upfront prevents reconciliation errors.
This guide explains the TD Canada Trust statement structure and four quirks unique to TD Canada.

The 12 Universal Sections (and How TD Canada Labels Them)
For the universal anatomy reference, see Understanding Bank Statement Formats. TD Canada uses all 12 sections with Canadian conventions.
| Universal section | TD Canada label |
|---|---|
| Bank header | "TD Canada Trust" with the green shield |
| Statement period | "Statement period" |
| Account holder block | Name and address |
| Account number | 7-digit account number |
| Routing | Transit (5) + Institution 004 (3) |
| Account summary | "Account summary" |
| Transaction headers | Date, Description, Withdrawal, Deposit, Balance |
| Transaction rows | One per posting; type prefix on each row |
| Check images | Available for chequing accounts |
| Fees + interest | "Service charges" and "Interest" |
| Daily balance summary | Per-row balance |
| Disclosure | "Important Information" - Canadian regulatory |
Quirk 1: TD Canada vs TD US (Same Parent, Different Banks)
This is the single most important detail when working with TD statements:
| Detail | TD Canada Trust | TD Bank, N.A. (US) |
|---|---|---|
| Currency | CAD | USD |
| Account ID | Transit + Institution 004 | ABA routing 026013673 |
| Date format | DD/MM/YYYY | MM/DD/YYYY |
| Online portal | tdcanadatrust.com / td.com (Canadian) | td.com (US) |
| Branding | "TD Canada Trust" | "TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank" |
| Parent | TD Bank Group, Toronto | TD Bank Group, Toronto (subsidiary) |
Why this matters:
- Cross-border clients (snowbirds, dual citizens) often have BOTH accounts
- The statements look superficially similar (both have the green shield, both say "TD")
- But the routing/transit numbers, currencies, and date orders are different
- Mixing them in a single Excel sheet without normalizing causes balance reconciliation failures
PDFSub recognizes both TD Canada and TD US templates separately and applies the appropriate locale.

Quirk 2: Institution Number 004
In the Canadian banking system, each bank has a 3-digit institution number. TD Canada Trust is 004:
Transit: 12345 (branch identifier)
Institution: 004 (TD Canada Trust)
Account: 1234567For Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD - Canadian ACH equivalent) and direct deposits, you provide all three: Transit + Institution + Account.
Big Six Canadian institution numbers:
- 001 - BMO (Bank of Montreal)
- 002 - Scotiabank (Bank of Nova Scotia)
- 003 - RBC (Royal Bank of Canada)
- 004 - TD Canada Trust (Toronto-Dominion)
- 006 - National Bank of Canada
- 010 - CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce)
The numbering reflects historical order of incorporation - lower number = older bank. TD as #004 was the fourth chartered.
Quirk 3: EasyWeb Banking Terminology
TD Canada's online banking is branded EasyWeb. Transactions originating from the EasyWeb platform are tagged with that name:
03/01 EASYWEB BILL PAY -142.30
Bell Canada
05/01 INTERAC e-TRANSFER -100.00
to Jane Smith via EasyWeb
10/01 EASYWEB TRANSFER -500.00
to Savings ****5678The "EASYWEB" prefix identifies the originating channel. Compare to TD US, which uses "TD ONLINE BILL PAY" as the prefix instead.
Why this matters for parsing: Tools that look for specific channel prefixes (e.g., "ONLINE BILL PAY") will miss EasyWeb transactions. PDFSub recognizes the EasyWeb prefix.
Quirk 4: Canadian Conventions (DD/MM, CAD)
TD Canada statements use Canadian locale defaults:
- Dates: DD/MM/YYYY (
03/01/2026= 3 January 2026) - Currency: CAD (Canadian dollars)
- Decimal separator: period (
1,234.56) - Thousands separator: comma (matches US numerical conventions)
The MAIN gotcha is the date order. Numbers are formatted the same as US conventions, so the only locale difference that affects parsing is dates.
Why this matters: A US-locale tool reading a Canadian statement may interpret 05/06/2026 as 5 June 2026 (US) instead of 6 May 2026 (Canadian). PDFSub auto-detects locale from the bank template.

- Scotiabank statement explained (Canadian)
- Chase bank statement explained (US, for comparison)
TD Canada is the second-largest Canadian bank by assets. If your client has a TD Canada account AND a TD US account, treat them as completely separate banks for accounting purposes - same parent company, but different banks, different currencies, different formats.
