Do you bank with TD Bank?

TD Bank's Affinity Banking Program offers its customers an easy way to raise funds for organizations to which they belong by providing donations based on the average balance of all members' Affinity Banking Program accounts. Commerce Bank donates 1/2 of one percent of the average balance on all checking accounts, and 1/4 of one percent of the average balance of all savings, money market and retirement accounts, as well as certificates of deposit, to the customers' organization (CCFA).

To participate in the Affinity Banking Program, call the Feasterville Branch at 215-355-3301
