What Do I Do If I Forgot the Answer to My TD Bank Security Question?

If you have trouble accessing your TD Bank account online, you may need to visit the bank. However, you may also try to recover the email you used. If you are unsure of the email address, the customer support team may help.

The security question is meant to help confirm your identity as the recipient. If the recipient hasn't set up Autodeposit on the email used for the transfer, they have to provide a correct answer to the security question. The security answer is a secret between the sender and the recipient. If someone else tries to impersonate the recipient, they cannot be unable to answer the question and cannot collect the money. If you forgot the answer to your TD Bank security question, the sender will receive an email notification advising them to deposit their money back into their account.

If You Can't Remember the Security Question or Answer

Every recipient has a unique security question and answer. You can view the question when you send money or on your contact list. However, you cannot see the answer. The answer is only displayed when setting up the security question. You cannot view it within EasyWeb. A banking specialist has no access to your security answer.

If you do not remember the answer, all you need to do is update your details under the option 'Manage Contacts.' When sending money, let the recipient know about your new security question and answer.

Creating an Effective Security Question

If you plan on sending money, you have to create a security question if your recipient has not registered for Autodeposit. Follow these tips when selecting the right security question and answers:

1. Your question and answer should be a secret that only you and the recipient know

2. Ensure that the answer is simple, preferably one word

3. Speak with the recipient over the phone and ensure that they know the answer to your security question

4. It should not be possible to answer your question with some research. Sporting events and recent news are not good ideas

5. Don't use yes/no questions

6. Do not include the security question or answer in an email to the recipient

Contacting the Support Team

There are plenty of ways to contact TD Bank if you need help. The best way to contact them is on the phone. It is the fastest way to speak directly with a customer service agent. Live chat is the best alternative to phone support. It gives you the chance to speak directly with an agent as well.

If you don't necessarily need to speak with a support representative, email support is the best option. Send the customer service team an email with brief details of your problem. They will get back to you as soon as possible.

Consider seeking support on Twitter or Facebook/ Messenger if you don't mind seeking help in public. You get the chance to learn from both the support agents and members of the public.

The TD bank help desk is the first support option for most customers. The help desk has plenty of tips and suggestions that may address your problems.
