As the year moves on, more bank branches are being shut down across the nation. May banks have announced such closure, in fact, some of the bigger names like Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Chase are some of the most prolific closers, but now it is the turn of TD Bank to announce its own set of closures, specifically in Massachusetts, slated for the fall. A TD Bank spokesperson confirmed the upcoming changes to the local outlet MassLive, urging customers in the affected areas to prepare for the impact.

TD Bank’s decision to close these branches is part of a broader strategy aimed at innovation and enhancing the customer experience to support long-term growth. This strategic approach includes both the closure of certain branches and the opening of new ones, unlike many of the other banks we have mentioned that are just focused on downsizing.

As the bank stated in a press release, “TD Bank is committed to building the bank of the future by evolving our model and enhancing capabilities to improve customer experience and enable long-term growth. The bank regularly evaluates its physical store network and looks for opportunities to better align our network of stores to best serve our customers through an optimal mix of convenient TD Bank locations and digital banking products and services,”

Despite the strategic reasoning provided by TD Bank, some analysts believe the closures are partly due to internal challenges the bank faced a few months ago, which affected its profitability. One of the most notorious issue came as a money laundering investigation against The US Department of Justice, where the bank was accused of facilitating the laundering of money by Chinese drug traffickers from fentanyl sales. Although the bank has cooperated completely with authorities, these internal issues may have prompted the bank to streamline its operations more rapidly and efficiently.

What TD Bank branches are scheduled to close

Massachusetts, where TD Bank has a substantial presence, is the state that has been impacted the most by these closures. The branches scheduled to close permanently are:

– Boston (MGH): 250 Cambridge St.

– Boston (Post Office Square): 185 Franklin St.

– Brewster: Route 6A and Underpass Road

– Burlington: 2200 District Ave.

– Lexington (Field): 419 Lowell St.

– Belmont: 307 Trapelo Road

– Pocasset: 2 Barlows Landing Road

This is not the first instance of TD Bank closing branches. Earlier this year, the bank announced the closure of several other locations as part of its ongoing optimization efforts and there is nothing to indicate that some of their existing branches will continue to operate in the near future despite their claims to be on track to expand their in person offerings in new locations.

In fact, a bank representative remarked that despite these closures, TD Bank maintains its commitment to its branch network, which is in line with statement CEO Leo Salom  gave at the beginning of the year “We’re doing some store optimization this year, but we’re still very committed to the store network. In fact, it is my desire over the medium- to longer-term to continue to grow our store network.”

The trend of bank branch closures in recent years reflects significant changes in the banking industry and consumer behavior. This broader phenomenon has various causes and consequences, affecting both consumers and communities, but by opening new branches in underserved locations there is a chance that TD bank
