TD Bank's Daily ATM Withdrawal Limit
TD Bank sets a daily ATM withdrawal limit of $500 for most checking and savings accounts. This means you cannot withdraw more than $500 in a single calendar day using an ATM, even if you have more money in your account. The limit resets at midnight Eastern Time.
This limit applies whether you use a TD Bank ATM or an out-of-network ATM. Some banks set different limits for their own ATMs versus other banks' machines, but TD does not — the $500 cap is the same either way.
The limit exists partly as a security measure to reduce fraud exposure if your card is stolen, and partly because ATMs physically hold only so much cash. If you need more than $500 on a given day, you have other options that do not involve waiting until the next calendar day.
Key Takeaways
- TD Bank's standard daily ATM limit is $500 per calendar day, resetting at midnight Eastern Time.
- The limit applies to both TD Bank ATMs and out-of-network ATMs you use with your TD debit card.
- You can withdraw more than $500 in a single day by visiting a TD Bank branch and withdrawing cash from a teller instead of an ATM.
- Some account types, such as business accounts or premium accounts, may have higher limits — contact your branch to confirm your specific limit.
- If you reach your limit and need cash before the next day, a teller withdrawal at a branch is the fastest way to get it.
How to Withdraw More Than $500 in One Day
If you need more than $500 on the same day, visit a TD Bank branch during business hours and ask a teller for a cash withdrawal. Teller withdrawals are not subject to the $500 ATM limit — you can withdraw as much as you need, as long as you have the funds in your account and the branch has enough cash on hand.
Bring your debit card or account number and a photo ID. The teller will process the withdrawal immediately. If you are withdrawing a very large amount — typically $5,000 or more — the branch may ask you to call ahead so they can ensure they have enough cash in the vault. This is normal and takes only a phone call.
If you cannot reach a branch, you can also call TD Bank customer service and request a temporary increase to your ATM limit for that day. Not all branches honor this request, and approval is not may provide, but it is worth asking if you are in a bind.
Why TD Bank Has an ATM Limit
The $500 daily limit serves two purposes. First, it protects you if your debit card is lost or stolen — a thief cannot drain your account in a single day by hitting multiple ATMs. Second, it reflects the physical reality that ATMs do not hold unlimited cash. A busy ATM might run out of money if one person tried to withdraw $2,000.
TD Bank's limit is in line with most large banks. Some regional banks set lower limits ($300 or $400), and some set higher ones ($1,000 or more), but $500 is the industry standard for major national banks.
Different Limits for Different Account Types
The $500 limit applies to most personal checking and savings accounts. However, TD Bank offers several account tiers, and some may have higher limits. Premium accounts, such as TD Bank's Preferred or Private Client accounts, sometimes come with higher ATM limits.
Business accounts often have different limits than personal accounts. If you have a business account with TD Bank, your ATM limit may be higher or lower depending on your account agreement. The best way to find out your specific limit is to log into your online account, call customer service at the number on the back of your card, or visit your local branch and ask.
What Happens If You Try to Withdraw More Than Your Limit
If you attempt to withdraw more than $500 at an ATM, the machine will decline the transaction. You will see an error message on the screen, and the ATM will return your card without dispensing cash. The declined transaction does not count against your account — it simply does not go through.
You can try again the next calendar day once your limit resets. Or, as mentioned above, you can visit a branch and withdraw cash from a teller instead.
ATM Limits and Out-of-Network Fees
TD Bank charges a fee when you use an ATM that does not belong to TD Bank or its partner networks. As of now, TD Bank is part of the Allpoint network, which means you can use many Allpoint ATMs without a TD Bank fee. However, you will still be subject to the $500 daily withdrawal limit, and the out-of-network ATM operator may charge you their own fee.
To avoid fees, use a TD Bank ATM when possible. You can find TD Bank locations and ATMs on the TD Bank website or through their mobile app. If you are traveling or in an area without a TD Bank ATM, check whether the ATM is part of the Allpoint network before using it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I withdraw $500 twice in one day if I use two different ATMs?
No. The $500 limit is a daily limit for your account, not per ATM. Whether you use one ATM or ten different ATMs, you cannot withdraw more than $500 total in a single calendar day. The limit resets at midnight.
Does the ATM limit apply to transfers or bill payments?
No. The $500 limit applies only to cash withdrawals at ATMs. You can transfer money between your own accounts, pay bills online, or send money to other people without hitting this limit. The limit is specifically about physical cash you take out of an ATM.
What if I need to withdraw cash on a weekend or holiday when branches are closed?
You are limited to the $500 ATM withdrawal until the next business day when you can visit a branch and speak to a teller. If you know you will need more than $500 on a weekend, plan ahead and visit a branch on Friday to withdraw the cash you need.
Can I increase my ATM limit permanently?
TD Bank does not typically allow customers to permanently increase the $500 ATM limit on standard accounts. However, if you have a premium account or a business account, your limit may already be higher. Contact your branch or customer service to discuss your account type and what options may be available to you.
Do TD Bank credit cards have the same ATM withdrawal limit?
ATM withdrawal limits apply to debit cards and checking accounts, not credit cards. If you use a TD Bank credit card at an ATM, you are taking a cash advance, which is a different transaction with its own terms and fees. Check your credit card agreement for cash advance limits and fees.
