TD Bank Closing Dozens Of Locations, Including 3 In VA, DC

VIRGINIA — TD Bank is preparing to close more than three dozen of its locations this June, including two in Northern Virginia and one in Washington, D.C.

Two bank branches in Fairfax County and one in the District of Columbia will close effective June 5, the company said in a statement to Patch. A total of 38 locations will close in TD Bank's East Coast service area on that date.

"As part of our normal business practices, we regularly evaluate existing TD Bank stores, which may result in some closures, consolidations, or relocations as we look for opportunities to better align our network of stores with customer needs and preferences," a spokesperson said.

The sites in the DMV set to close are:

• Centreville: 6200 Multiplex Dr.
• Reston: 1750 North Hampton Ave.
• District of Columbia: 1611 Wisconsin Ave. NW

TD Bank said its workers are committed to making the transition "as smooth as possible" for customers. The bank's U.S. headquarters are in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

This announcement also comes after the bank pleaded guilty in a federal money laundering scheme and agreed to a $3 billion fine back in October — making it the first national bank to do so.

The Department of Justice said that for more than a decade, TD Bank failed to meet its responsibilities under the federal Bank Secrecy Act, which requires financial institutions to report suspicious activity that may be linked to money laundering.

Deficiencies in the bank's anti-money laundering compliance program "allowed criminal proceeds to flow" to Colombian cartels, officials charged. You can read more about that case here.
