Learn more about TD Insurance

TD Insurance is part of the TD Bank Group, one of Canada’s largest financial services organizations. We work in two sectors: general insurance and life and health insurance.

We’ve earned our place as the largest direct-response home and auto insurance group† and one of the top three personal home and auto insurance groups in Canada. We’re also the national leader in critical illness insurance and a pioneer in affinity marketing, where we work jointly with groups to market insurance to their members.

As part of our ongoing commitment to helping you make informed property and casualty insurance choices, we at TD Insurance put together an insurance disclosure document on our compensation to duly licensed and fixed salaried representatives.
