TD Bank Expanding Its Mortgage Staff

TD Bank, the U.S. unit of Toronto-Dominion Bank, said Tuesday it will add 75 full-time positions to its mortgage operations center in Lexington, S.C.

At least 50 jobs will be filled in the coming weeks, TD Bank said. The new employees will work in tandem with existing TD Bank mortgage operations centers in Lewiston, Maine, and Mount Laurel, N.J. Positions will include mortgage processors, underwriters, closers and operations staff.

Among all home funders nationwide, the bank's residential mortgage affiliate, TD Banknorth Mortgage, ranked 35th in the second quarter, originating $807 million. "Over the past two years, our residential mortgage business has doubled and we expect this growth to continue into 2011," Michael Copley, TD Bank's retail lending executive vice president, said in a press release.
