Sending a TD Canada Trust wire requires precise details to ensure funds move securely and without delay. Whether you are paying a bill abroad, receiving payment for services, or transferring money to a family member, understanding the exact bank information, transit codes, and compliance steps is essential for a smooth transaction.
Key Details for TD Canada Trust Wire Instructions
To initiate a domestic or international wire through TD Canada Trust, you need the recipient’s full name, bank address, institution number, and transit or branch number. For incoming wires, provide your own institution number (004) along with your personal transit number and account number, formatted exactly as shown on your statements to prevent returns or processing delays.
Domestic Wire Instructions Within Canada
For sending money to another Canadian bank account using Interac or a similar rail, you typically share the recipient’s name, institution number, transit number, and account number. When receiving a domestic transfer, instruct the sender to use your TD client number or provide your full transit and account details so the funds can be matched and posted correctly to your account.

International Wire Instructions and SWIFT Codes
For international wires, you must include the recipient’s full legal name, bank name and address, International Bank Account Number (IBAN) when applicable, and the SWIFT/BIC code of the receiving institution. TD Canada Trust’s outgoing international wire SWIFT code is TDOMCATTTOR for transfers sent from Canada, and you should confirm any intermediary bank details to avoid deductions or misrouted payments.
Essential Information for Incoming International Wires
Fees, Exchange Rates, and Processing Times
TD Canada Trust applies an outgoing wire fee, typically around CAD 40 to 45 for international transfers, with lower or waived amounts for certain accounts. Exchange rates used for foreign currency wires are based on the bank’s rate at the time of processing, and clearance can take one to five business days depending on the destination, currency, and compliance checks.
Compliance, Security, and Common Issues
Both domestic and international wires are subject to anti-money laundering and sanctions screening. Ensure the purpose of the transfer, source of funds, and recipient details are accurate; incomplete or inconsistent information is a leading cause of delays, returns, or additional verification requests from TD Canada Trust compliance teams.
How to Verify and Update Your Wire Details
Before submitting a wire, log in to your TD online banking or speak with a representative to confirm transit numbers, SWIFT codes, and any conditional banking instructions. If you need to modify or cancel a wire, contact TD support immediately since transactions can often be recalled only while they remain in processing, potentially saving you time and fees.
