Mystery why TD bank cancelled family’s accounts, cards

CTV News reports that the Zakki family of Toronto, wife, husband and two young children, have been cut off by the TD Bank. CTV says Saadia Zakki was saying that the bank arbitrarily and without explanation cancelled all accounts, investments and credit cards. They have been with TD for 10 years and say their accounts were in good standing. CTV quotes a law firm bulletin of 2011 that banks are required to close accounts if they suspect fraudulent activity or ties to terrorism. But in other cases, the reasons are not as clear. It does not explain further. Nor does CTV take up with the Zakki family the ominous reasons cited in the legal bulletin it quotes. Saadia Zakki says she has no idea why TD took the action it did. CTV
