TD Bank Cuts Jobs, Pushes Back Office Return for Some Staff

Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) is moving ahead with job cuts while also delaying its return-to-office mandate for certain employees. The lender confirmed it will reduce its workforce by about 2%, part of a broader cost-cutting strategy following regulatory challenges tied to anti-money-laundering compliance.

The move comes as Canada’s second-largest bank continues to streamline operations amid heightened scrutiny and restructuring efforts.
