Talk:TD Banknorth

Untitled
Let me be the first to say that there are zero benefits to being a customer of both. Banknorth and Ameritrade are run separately. As far as I know Banknorth still has its own investment group - Bancnorth Investments. I speak as a former personal banker. - Todd —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.60.68.194 (talk) 18:28, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree that this page is confusing. I'm no dummy, but I can't get much relevant information about this company from this page. In particular, I came here because I was interested in finding an explanation of the relationship between TD Banknorth and TD Ameritrade, and I am curious if there is any integration between the companies (and thus any benefits for being a customer of both) or if they are two totally separate companies that happen to be owned by the same umbrella corporation and share a name, but nothing else. Neither the TD Ameritrade nor TD Banknorth websites shed any light on this. Cazort 21:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Merge discussion
Now that the bank merger has been complete, and all Banknorth branches are labelled "TD Bank", etc...shouldn't we merge the two articles together into one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.226.121.29 (talk) 21:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think its best to keep them separate for historic purposes. TD Bank is the result of a merger by two banks, not an acquisition and renaming by TD Banknorth. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 00:05, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

I agree, they should be MergedStepanstas (talk) 14:44, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The Banknorth article covers it's existence before becoming TD Banknorth. It seems the Banknorth artice should be merged with the TD Bank article to maintain that consistency.TIinPA (talk) 03:22, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * My two bits: While it's important to address history, for best reading/navigation, I would suggest the various TD/Bankborth/TD Banknorth/etc. page names should all lead to one merged page. That article should start off by describing the current entity, and should have a "History" section detailing the different ancestors.  If needed, the history section can summarize and refer to a separate "History of TD Bank" article for more detail. — DragonHawk (talk|hist) 18:38, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
 * There's clearly no consensus to merge, as this was proposed over a year ago.    Thorncrag  20:05, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Name “Howard Bank”
Howard Bank is supposed to be an obsolete name used in pre-TDBanknorth day, according to this article. In actuality, there is a highly active Howard Bank in MAryland and adjacent states with $4 billion deposits. How or why did this happen? Did TD Banknorth license the name, or did the Maryland Bank pre-date the Burlington Bank and was therefore discarded when the Vermont Bank wanted to do business outside Vermont?
