Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) SWIFT/BIC code

SWIFT/BIC code of Toronto-Dominion Bank (The)

The 8-character code TDOMGB3L and the 11-character code TDOMGB3LXXX identify one and the same institution: Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) in London, United Kingdom. Every bank on the SWIFT network uses BIC codes to route international transfers to the correct bank. It comes up mostly when dealing with payments that cross a border and payments in foreign currencies.

This page is meant to help anyone who sends money to an account at Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) and wants to get the details right. The BIC identifies a bank or branch, not a specific account; the IBAN or account number does that.

Changed bank details? Be careful

One of the most common tricks goes like this: you receive a request saying that a company now has a new bank account and asking you to pay there from now on. The fact that TDOMGB3L exists is no guarantee that a request mentioning it is legitimate.

Always verify a change of bank details through a phone call. Urgency and secrecy tend to be red flags – a real supplier can wait a day. When a payment was sent to the wrong account, contact your bank immediately – speed improves the chance of getting it back.

Recipients can be targeted as well: a classic trick is a buyer who pays too much and then sends a request to refund the difference. A payment confirmation from the sender is no proof.

The British Pound and what conversion costs you

United Kingdom uses the British Pound. When you pay money in a different currency, the amount gets converted somewhere along the way: by your bank, an intermediary or Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) itself. Each conversion costs something, even when no fee is shown.

Who converts the money makes a difference, because each party uses its own rate. Check how much GBP the recipient gets with several providers; the difference between options can be larger than you expect.

The rate for GBP fluctuates throughout the day, so the amount you see is usually only valid for a short time. On larger amounts, a seemingly small gap in the rate can be worth more than the fee.

Paying someone abroad from your Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) account

An international bank payment costs rather more than the fee suggests. There is the transfer fee, possibly charges from correspondent banks in between and, most importantly, the margin on the exchange rate if the currency changes.

The markup on the rate is often the biggest item because it is hidden in the rate. Check their rate against the mid-market rate – the rate you find on financial news sites; the gap is what conversion costs you.

For many currency pairs, a transfer service turns out to be cheaper than a traditional bank transfer, mainly because of the exchange rate. Before your next transfer, take a minute to compare what arrives via GoldexPay. You can always use your account at Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) as the source of the money, while a cheaper service handles the conversion.

Head office or branch code at Toronto-Dominion Bank (The)?

With 2 codes, Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) is one of the banks that register separate codes for parts of the organisation and departments. The head office code is TDOMGB3LXXX.

For most incoming transfers, the head office code TDOMGB3LXXX is what you need. Branch codes are only needed when the account holder explicitly asks for it.

Not sure which code applies? Check with the recipient, or look at a recent statement from Toronto-Dominion Bank (The). Codes for branches are more prone to be retired than TDOMGB3LXXX when a bank merges or closes offices.

Verifying the SWIFT code of Toronto-Dominion Bank (The)

The safest source for the BIC is the bank details provided by the recipient. If the code you have does not match TDOMGB3L or TDOMGB3LXXX, stop and ask: check with the recipient or with Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) directly.

If the code is wrong, the transfer might get stuck, be returned or end up costing more. An error in the account number is more serious, because the money may be credited to someone else, so check that just as carefully.

Many banking apps check the structure of IBANs and sometimes look up the BIC automatically – that confirms the format, not the owner. If your bank offers it, a payee name check before sending gives extra certainty. For a first payment, some people start with a small test amount and wait for confirmation.

Receiving money from abroad at Toronto-Dominion Bank (The)

To receive a transfer from abroad at Toronto-Dominion Bank (The), the sender has to have not just the SWIFT code. What they need is: your name, account number or IBAN, TDOMGB3LXXX or TDOMGB3L and, for some countries, your home address.

You can include Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) and London as well, because some payment forms have separate fields for them. A mistake in the IBAN is more trouble than it looks, so copy the details from your online banking.

Money from abroad will not always land for the full amount. Fees for incoming transfers differ per bank. For business payments, you can state who bears the costs to avoid a shortfall.

SEPA payments and the Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) BIC

Inside SEPA, euro transfers to Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) use the same rules. The BIC field is usually optional or missing in that case.

You will still need TDOMGB3LXXX for non-euro payments or transfers from countries outside SEPA. Some banks and apps still show a field for the BIC; if so, fill in TDOMGB3L.

Instant euro transfers have become increasingly available within SEPA. Charges on SEPA payments tend to be low, as long as no currency conversion is involved.

Tracking a transfer to or from Toronto-Dominion Bank (The)

An international transfer usually takes anywhere from one to several business days – it depends on currency, route and the banks in between. Payments made late in the day or just before weekends and holidays usually start a business day later. Compliance checks on larger or unusual payments may also add some delay, even when all details are correct.

If a transfer seems late, contact your bank about the status and the transaction reference so they can trace it along the chain. Save your transfer receipt.

A missing payment has to be traced by the sending bank, using the payment confirmation. Ask the sender for the payment receipt including the reference – it helps your own bank look for the money.

How up to date is this code?

The details on this page come from publicly available data which we refresh regularly. Institutions merge, close branches and change codes. Figures such as the number of codes are from our directory and are not confirmed by Toronto-Dominion Bank (The).

Treat our data as a reference, not as the last word – the bank details from the recipient are leading. GoldexPay is independent of Toronto-Dominion Bank (The); we are a comparison site for money transfers. Should you notice a mistake, we appreciate a message via the contact page.

Why Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) has an 8- and an 11-character code

A SWIFT code is made up of a few fixed parts: the first four letters identify the bank, characters five and six give the country and characters seven and eight mark the location. Combined, those parts make up TDOMGB3L, the code most people search for.

XXX at the end of TDOMGB3LXXX does not stand for a placeholder or an error: it indicates the head office of Toronto-Dominion Bank (The). Some forms insist on 11 characters, in which case you can add XXX behind TDOMGB3L.

Do not add spaces or dashes when you enter TDOMGB3L. Watch for O versus 0 and I versus 1, a common source of typos.
