An RTN speeds up the processing of debits and credits between financial institutions. To find where the RTN is located on a check, look at the example below. (Note: do not use an RTN from a deposit ticket.)
The best resource to determine your RTN is by looking at a check. If none is available, use the TCF Routing and Transit Numbers chart below to find the number associated with the state where you opened your account. This may not be the same state where you currently live.

For non-TCF ATMs, the bank that owns the ATM may charge an access fee, which varies by ATM and is disclosed on the screen prior to you completing your transaction. TCF also charges a fee when you use an ATM that is not owned by TCF. TCF may waive this fee for certain account types. You can avoid these fees by using a TCF ATM.
By federal regulation, you may not make more than six transfers or withdrawals (or a combination of transfers or withdrawals) from a savings or money market account during a month or monthly statement period: (1) to another account you have with TCF or to a third party by pre-authorized or automatic transfer; (2) by telephone, fax, or online banking; (3) by check or draft (if you can write checks or drafts against your account); (4) by debit card (if we have issued a debit card for your account); or (5) by similar order by you and payable to third parties.
An excessive withdrawal fee of $15 applies for each transfer or withdrawal that exceeds the transaction limit.

wave your card and follow the directions to complete the transaction.
- Insert the card, face up with the chip end first, into the terminal.
- Leave the card in the payment terminal during the entire transaction.
- Follow the instructions on the screen and sign or enter your PIN if needed. Be sure to remove your card when the transaction is complete.
Your chip-enabled card can be used anywhere Visa cards are accepted in the U.S. and around the world. If a merchant has a chip-enabled payment terminal, you will insert your card during the transaction. In the U.S., you will still be able to swipe your card to make your payment if a merchant has a regular payment terminal. You will need a PIN to be able to make a transaction at an ATM.
You can get a chip-enabled debit card instantly at any branch or by calling 1-800-823-2265 (1-800-343-6145 TTY). If you open an account online, your card will be mailed to you. Once it arrives, be sure to activate it and sign the back.
Yes, you can use your chip-enabled card to make purchases everywhere Visa is accepted, but chip technology isn’t used during these types of transactions.
Yes. Depending on the type of ATM, you might be able to wave your card or you might be prompted to re-insert your card. Leave the card in the ATM until the transaction is complete and the card is released. Then remove your card and any money you might have withdrawn.
If your card is lost or stolen, call us as soon as possible at 1-800-TCF-BANK (800-823-2265) or 1-800-343-6145 (TTY) so we can help.

No. Chip cards won't prevent the types of data breaches that have hit some merchants, but they do make it difficult for fraudsters to produce counterfeit cards from the stolen data.
Merchants may offer a cash back option if you enter your PIN to complete the debit transaction. Select debit as your payment type, enter your PIN and follow the instructions on the merchant’s payment terminal to receive cash back.
Remember, not all merchants provide a cash back option.

Tips to Avoid Being a Victim of Wire Fraud
- Never wire money to people you don’t know, regardless of how convincing or enticing their story may be.
- If you’re being pressed to make a decision or send money fast, it’s probably a sign of a scam.
- Walk away from any offer from a stranger who asks you to deposit a check into your bank account and instructs you to wire any of that money to someone else, perhaps in another country.
- Never give out your bank account or debit card numbers in response to an advertisement or an unsolicited call, text message or e-mail.
Online Statements
Bill Pay
- Log in to digital banking
- Select the Pay & Transfer tab
- Select the Bill Pay Enrollment option and follow the on-screen instructions
Payment timing varies by recipient, because delivery dates are based on how payments are delivered. If your recipient is able to receive electronic payments, it takes about two days to receive your payment. If we have to send a check, it could take up to four days for your recipient to receive your payment. The recipient's lead time, which is the amount of time your recipient requires to process a payment, may also vary.
TCF’s online bill pay tool includes a timeline with a smart calendar, which can help you determine when to schedule a payment based on that recipient’s delivery method and lead time. Once you enter the name of your recipient, the earliest possible “deliver by” date will show.
Please check with your recipient for exact details on how payments are credited.
An e-bill is an electronic version of your paper bill that you can elect to receive directly within digital banking under the Pay & Transfer tab. You can then view your entire bill and pay immediately or schedule future payments directly.
E-bills are available for many recipients and can be set up for only those recipients you choose. Once you have an e-bill set up for a recipient and start receiving it, your recipient may stop sending you a paper bill. Instead, you’ll receive your e-bill directly within digital banking.
It typically takes 1-2 billing cycles for you to begin receiving your bill online.
Available Balance
Your available balance is the amount that is available for withdrawal from your account. Generally, your available balance is deposits minus withdrawals, transfers, debit card authorizations and fees. To read the full definition, visit the Terms and Conditions for Checking and Savings Accounts, go to the “General Definitions” section and view “available balance.”
For more information about how deposits and withdrawals affect your available balance, visit our page about funds availability.
- TCF can return the check without paying it and charge you a fee. This fee is called a "returned item NSF fee." And the person or company that you wrote the check to – for example, a store or your credit card company – might charge you a "returned check fee" in addition to the fee we charge.
- Or TCF can pay the check and charge you a fee. This fee is called an "overdraft fee." This fee is the same, regardless of the amount of the check (and could exceed the amount of the check).
Debit card transactions work somewhat differently than checks. Once TCF approves ("authorizes") a debit card transaction, it can generally take up to 3 business days for it to reach TCF for payment ("settlement"). So, while your available balance may be enough to cover a transaction when we authorize it, that does not mean it will be enough at the time of settlement. If TCF authorized a transaction, we are required to pay it even though your available balance at settlement may not be enough to cover a transaction.
Here is an example of how that works. Say you have $100 in your account on day 1. That same day you write a check for $40. On day 2, you use your debit card to make a purchase for $80. Because you have enough money in your account at the time of the purchase, TCF authorizes it. Your available balance is now $20. On day 3, the $40 check is presented to TCF for payment, and TCF pays it. Your available balance is now negative by $20, and you incur an overdraft fee. On day 3, your $80 debit card transaction reaches TCF for payment. Because TCF previously authorized the transaction, we are required to pay it. Because your account is still overdrawn, you incur another overdraft fee (provided you have "opted-in", as discussed in the FAQ below).
This can also work the other way around. Say you have $100 in your account on day 1 and use your debit card to make a purchase for $120. Even though the transaction exceeds your available balance, TCF authorizes it (provided you have "opted-in", as discussed in the FAQ below). You do not incur an overdraft fee at this time. On day 2, you make a cash deposit for $30. On day 3, your $120 debit card transaction reaches TCF for payment. Because the transaction is for less than your available balance when it reaches TCF for payment, it does not overdraw your account. If you had not made the deposit, you would have incurred an overdraft fee.
Please note that some transactions using your debit card, such as ATMs and those using your PIN, can reach TCF for payment the same day or in as little as one day.
Initially, your decision is made when you open your account. You can change your election by phone, online, at a branch, by mail or at certain TCF ATMs:
- Stop by any TCF branch.
- Log in to digital banking, go to Accounts & Statements, select the account name and choose Update Overdraft Choices.
- Call the Overdraft Service Election Line at 1-866-823-4472.
- Write to:
TCF Bank, Attn Customer Service
1405 Xenium Lane N, OPS-SD-G
Plymouth, MN 55441
The written request should include your name, address, date of request, account number(s) and overdraft decision. - Change your election at certain TCF ATMs.
Whatever you decide, you can change your mind later.
Overdraft Services
“Posting” is when TCF processes transactions to your account. “Posting order” is the order in which TCF processes transactions in a given business day.
We post transactions nightly each business day. We first post deposits and incoming transfers that are made before the daily cutoff time. We then post withdrawals and outgoing transfers. Transactions may not be posted in the order in which they occurred. TCF may, at any time in the future, change the posting order on your account. The posting order on your account can affect the amount of overdraft and returned item NSF fees that you pay.
Please refer to the section called “Order of Posting” in TCF’s Terms & Conditions for Checking and Savings Accounts for more information.
Federal regulations require banks to get your permission before paying ATM and everyday debit card overdrafts on consumer accounts when charging a fee.* This is called “opt-in.”
If you opt-in, it is up to TCF’s discretion to authorize or not authorize these transactions. TCF will charge a fee for any transactions resulting in an overdraft. Banks only need your permission once. Your permission is not required separately for each transaction. Opting-in can have benefits, because it gives TCF the option (although we are not required) to approve transactions when your account is unexpectedly low on money, or when you know you will make a deposit later that day. But overdraft fees will apply.
If you do not opt-in, you may avoid unexpected fees on your account. However, TCF will not approve your ATM and everyday debit card transactions if they exceed your available balance at the time of the authorization. You will not be charged a fee for these declined transactions.
* An “everyday” debit card transaction is any one-time, nonrecurring transaction using a debit card. Transactions you authorize in advance using your debit card, such as a monthly bill payment, are not considered everyday transactions. TCF relies on transaction coding provided by the merchant to determine if a transaction is recurring.
You also have the option of telling TCF not to pay overdrafts on your consumer account due to checks, ACH transactions (such as electronic monthly bill payments) and electronic transfers not involving the use of your debit card. This is called “opt-out.”
If you opt-out, TCF will return transactions without paying them if they exceed your available balance. If you do not opt-out, it is up to TCF’s discretion to pay or not pay these transactions.
TCF will charge you a fee for any overdrafts we pay and for any items we return without paying.
Initially, your decision is made when you open your account. You can change your election by phone, online, at a branch, by mail or at certain TCF ATMs:
- Stop by any TCF branch.
- Log in to digital banking, go to Accounts & Statements, select the account name and choose Update Overdraft Choices.

Fraudulent Emails, Texts and Social Messages
The term "phishing" comes from the way in which internet scammers "phish" for your personal financial information. This involves sending fraudulent emails, text messages or messages on social media that appear to be from a legitimate company that you recognize and do business with, such as a financial institution, in order to trick you into surrendering private information that can be used to initiate fraudulent transactions or complete an identity theft.
In many cases, the fraudulent email, text or social message will warn you of a serious problem with your account that needs immediate attention, and will threaten to suspend or close your account if your personal information is not updated within a given time frame. The message then directs you to click on a link to a phony website where you are asked to update personal information, such as your Social Security number, passwords, credit card information, bank account numbers and contact information.
Any email, text or social message you receive that appears to be from TCF and requests updated personal information, such as your Social Security number, account number, PIN, or passwords, is fraudulent. The link contained in the message is NOT to TCF Bank's website, even though it may imitate our style and graphics.
If you provide the requested information, you may find yourself a victim of identity theft.
The subject line of the email or topic of the text or social message can vary. Any email claiming to be from TCF Bank that asks for customer information should be forwarded to emailfraud@tcfbank.com immediately. Delete the email after it has been forwarded to us. Any text or social message claiming to be from TCF Bank that asks for customer information should also be deleted. Please call us at 1-800-TCFBANK (823-2265) or 1-800-343-6145 (TTY) to report the suspicious message.
Do not type any information or respond in any way and close the message. If you did respond, call Customer Service immediately.
TCF Bank does not use pop-up messages to request customer information. We will never ask you for your Login ID, Password, or PIN by pop-up message.
One of the newest email scams is the "Account Manager" scam, which offers to let you become an "Account Manager" or "Transfer Agent" for a third party, usually in another country.
Scammers will try to solicit you through an email or web advertisement, offering to let you work from home and be an "Account Manager" or "Money Transfer Agent" for them. In turn, they will let you earn commissions for your trouble and offer to increase your fee the more transfers you complete for them. Money is then transferred out of an unsuspecting person's account and into yours. Then you are asked to send the money to them through Western Union or other funds transfer service provider under the impression that you will keep a percentage of the money they have deposited into your account.
If you agree to become an Account Manager for the scammers, you have no idea where the money is coming from or where it is going. It could be used for a variety of illegal purposes, including terrorism, and you could be prosecuted if caught. Do not believe any emails or web advertisements offering to let you earn money by transferring cash.
If you receive an email or see an advertisement offering to make you an "Account Manager" or "Money Transfer Agent," forward it immediately to your local Secret Service office or the national Financial Crimes Division at 950 H Street, Washington, D.C., 20001 or fax to 202-406-5031.
- You should be suspicious of any email, text or social message that appears to be from TCF Bank containing links to websites asking for confidential information.
- Never provide personal information in response to an unsolicited request, whether it is in an email, text or social message or over the phone. If you believe the request may be legitimate, contact the financial institution yourself using contact information that you have verified. Do not use phone numbers contained in emails, texts or social messages you believe may be fraudulent.
- Delete emails, texts or social messages from unknown senders without opening them. Do not open attachments; this may release a virus in your computer to track your personal information.
- Never send an account number, PIN, or password by email, text or social message .
- Choose a PIN and password that is known only by you and keep it in a safe place. Consider changing your PIN and password on a regular basis.
- Review all account statements, including online statements, regularly to verify all charges are correct and to check for any suspicious activity.
- If you are suspicious of any email, text or social message you receive that appears to be from TCF Bank, call Customer Service immediately.
The fastest way to get a new card is to visit any TCF branch and request an instantly-issued debit card.
If you’re unable to visit a branch, call us at 1-800-TCF-BANK (823-2265) or 1-800-343-6145 (TTY) and ask us to mail you a new card. Standard delivery is free, and you’ll have a new card within 7-10 business days. We also have expedited and rush delivery options available. We can explain details and applicable fees for these options.
After you have contacted TCF and alerted us to the situation, you may also want to contact one of the three major credit bureaus and discuss whether or not you need to place a fraud alert on your file. This will help prevent thieves from opening a new account in your name:

Gift Cards
The TCF Visa Gift Card is a prepaid Visa card with the initial card balance determined by the giver at the time of purchase. Each time the gift recipient uses the card, the purchase amount is deducted from the available balance on the card.
Funds cannot be reloaded onto the card. It can be used everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted, including retail stores, online merchants, and for mail and phone orders.
To use your gift card to make online or phone purchases, you must first register the card by calling the number on the back of it or visiting visadpsgiftcard.com and selecting activate my card. When you make online or phone purchases, be sure to use the same name, address and phone number you used when you activated your card or the transaction may be declined.
The TCF Visa Gift Card is accepted at most Visa merchants worldwide, with a few limitations:
- Pay-at-the-pump gas purchases (instead, you can pay with your TCF Visa Gift Card by presenting the card to the attendant inside the gas station)
- Cash access through an ATM, bank or any other cash advance
- Internet gambling

Year End Interest and Tax Reporting
