Easiest way to easily transfer finds from the US to my Canadian bank account?
TD is branching out deep into the NE US, not sure about any of the West Coast, but due to the differences in banking regulations it was explained to me (when I went in to a US TD bank to ask if getting an account there would make my life easier than dealing with my idiot FL bank), that it is not any easier to deal with a TD bank vs any other US bank, in terms of the ease of getting money in/out – they are basically completely separate entities working under the same name. Because the regulations are so different, and because they changed the rules about cross-border funds transfers (don’t even try to send your family a personal check, it can and will be held for upwards of 60 days if the bank decides to do it), it is oddly harder to get money into Canadian accounts as opposed to out of them.
