TD Bank announced on Monday it has completed the acquisition of Wells Fargo’s Canadian Direct Equipment Finance business. TD Bank reported that the acquisition adds scale and capabilities to its existing Canadian Equipment Financing business and expands the bank’s presence in core markets.

While sharing more details about the acquisition,  Darren Cooke, President of TD Equipment Finance -Canadian Business Banking at TD Bank Group, revealed:
