Bank says #TDThanksYou to customers over the phone, online and in-branch
Some very special experiences also delivered with the help of Automated Thanking MachineTM
TORONTO, July 25, 2014 /CNW/ - Thousands of unsuspecting customers were
simultaneously greeted with a surprise while banking with TD today. At
exactly 2 p.m. EST, over 20,000 TD employees across Canada distributed
green envelopes containing a $20 bill to every customer in more than
1,100 TD branches and revealed to those using TD phone and online
banking service that they would receive a deposit directly into their
accounts.
"It was incredible to see the look of surprise on our customers' faces,"
said Ester Condello, a branch manager with TD Canada Trust. "We say
thank you to our customers every day, and we'll say thank you tomorrow
and the next day. Today's thank you is about all of us at TD working
together to shout it from the rooftops."
"A thank you can change someone's day, so that's why we have been
surprising our customers across Canada, to say 'TD Thanks You'," said
Tim Hockey, President and CEO, TD Canada Trust. "We know Canadians have
a lot of choice when it comes to where they bank, and we wanted to say
that we appreciate that they continue to choose TD."
Even ATMs are a part of the customer thanking experience at TD, with an
Automated Thanking MachineTM delivering a few life changing moments for customers that were captured
in a video released today, entitled #TDThanksYou (http://youtu.be/bUkN7g_bEAI). Local branch employees helped design these very meaningful and
individualized thank-you experiences that were ultimately unveiled to
their customers through the Automated Thanking MachineTM, an ATM that talks and delivers surprises. The #TDThanksYou video
captures many unforgettable moments of surprise from unsuspecting
customers.
"I can't believe TD did this - it's something that I'll never forget,"
said Mike Jobin, a TD customer who received a special thank you
experience from his local TD branch in Pickering, ON. "We're a real
baseball family and making the first pitch at a Blue Jays game was at
the top of my bucket list. Let's just say that I had goosebumps the
whole time!"
