The new TD Payment Plus Credit Card benefits consumers by:

• Helping them to take responsibility for interest charges and debt obligations
• Providing flexibility – they can choose to make a larger payment and get an interest-charge savings without getting locked into payment terms that may not be right for their budget
• Rewarding them for paying down balances

The TD Payment Plus Credit Card allows customers to have control over how much they choose to pay each month, while offering them the convenience of automatic rewards if they make a payment larger than the minimum balance. A person who pays 10% or more of their balance will get a statement credit for 50% of that month's interest charges, and consumers who pay off 5% - 9.99% of their balance will receive a statement credit worth 25% of that month's interest charge.  

Savings will be applied as a credit on the following month's statement. With no-annual-fee, the card promotes TD's commitment to providing simple and easy solutions that motivate, educate and incent customers to save.

"It's all about promoting financial fitness and giving customers the choices they need to help them better manage their money," said Michael Copley, TD Bank Executive Vice President. "TD's Payment Plus Credit Card empowers consumers to take responsibility for their interest charges and current debt obligations, while rewarding them for doing so."

Today's economic environment has influenced consumers' interest in finding new ways to save money. "TD Bank is working to offer customers choices for their money management," added Copley. "The hassle-free card is a unique credit card that helps customers save money, while also paying down their monthly balance."
