Q&A with Lindsay August
As the 10th largest bank in the U.S. by assets, what is a key factor the drives TD Bank’s success?
TD Bank’s success is built upon meaningful relationships and an unwavering commitment to our clients. With 10 million retails clients and nearly 700,000 small business and commercial clients across our footprint from Maine to Florida, we deliver a differentiated level of client service. We are deeply embedded in our communities and always put the client first in everything we do. In addition, TD has a strong purpose-driven culture underscored by the tenure of our colleagues, with many having worked at the bank for decades.
How does TD Bank plan to grow over the next five years?
We have ambitious goals and plan to achieve them in myriad ways. The bank is reimagining our retail model with a focus on digital and mobile capabilities, accelerating commercial banking in partnership with our investment banking arm, TD Securities, deepening our Wealth business, and scaling the consumer asset portfolio. With a commitment to becoming an even simpler and faster organization, we are also focused on investing in our colleagues and bringing top talent to the organization.
Why did the TD Bank team decide to invest in the Tampa Bay Economic Development Council?
Economic development is critical to the future of Tampa Bay, and the EDC is at the forefront of this effort. As TD Bank continues to support and invest in the community, partnering with the EDC was a no-brainer. I love hearing from companies that recently relocated here about the positive experience they had working with the EDC, from introductions to business and civic leaders to navigating incentive opportunities.
Where do you see the financial industry headed in the next three years?
The financial industry will continue its digital transformation with more automated processes and mobile banking options to enhance efficiency. Like in all industries, AI will have a huge impact by improving the user experience and providing personalized services. Fraud will remain a challenge with firms perpetually investing heavily in cybersecurity. Lastly, it will be imperative to focus on the human element, because as Bob Burg taught us, people do business with those they know, like, and trust.
