TORONTO, June 26 /CNW/ - Just weeks after the May 25th launch of Simply Save, TD Canada Trust's popular new automatic savings program, the total amount saved by customers who have signed up has already hit $5 million and counting. "We know that saving is a big priority for most customers, so we're thrilled to see how quickly the savings are adding up for those who've opted for Simply Save," says Carrie Russell, Senior Vice President, Core Banking and Payments, TD Canada Trust. "Everyone can benefit from having a savings goal and a strategy for getting there, and, because it allows you to effortlessly put money aside every time you use your debit card, Simply Save can be an effective part of any plan. We encourage people to visit us online or at a branch to sign up and get more information about ways to save, including how to combine Simply Save with a Tax Free Savings Account to help your savings grow even faster." Hundreds of thousands of people have opted for Simply Save. Why is it such a hit? First, it's really easy. Just sign up for Simply Save online or at any branch, choose the amount you want to save and then just carry on with your usual transactions. Second, for a limited time, TD Canada Trust will match $10 for every $100 saved up to a total of $200 in matching. Third, TD Canada Trust is running a Facebook contest that makes it possible to win even more cash! How it works 1. Sign up for the Simply Save plan by going online to www.tdcanadatrust.com/simplysave or by visiting your branch. 2. Select an amount between $0.50 and $5.00 that you'd like to save with every debit card purchase or ABM withdrawal. 3. Choose the savings account that works for you. The amount you selected will be deposited into any TD Canada Trust savings account you choose - even a High Interest TFSA Savings Account. 4. Save. For a night out, a weekend away - anything you want! For example, if you decide to save $2 for every debit card purchase, you essentially pay yourself first each time you use your debit card. This amount will go into your chosen savings account, building towards your goal. Do the math If you make 25 debit card transactions a month and elect to have $2 move into your savings account per transaction, you're saving $50 each month. And, if you sign up for Simply Save before July 24, 2009, for every $100 you save in your first year, TD Canada Trust will help with a $10 bonus, up to $200. Whether you choose to save .50 or $5 a transaction, check out how your savings can grow at www.tdcanadatrust.com/simplysave and use the online calculator - it's almost as easy as saving. FACEBOOK CONTEST - SIGN UP AND WIN! We want you AND your friends to save - simply.
