Okay, again I'm a geek, but I can't figure out how to classify myself this time -- a branding geek? a corporate consolidation geek? an interconnectivity geek?
I was so psyched when I saw a logo in somebody else's VO the other night -- of a bank robbery or something -- where a Banknorth had gotten new logos to match TD Canada Trust.
So, yes, I was aware that it was now TD Banknorth -- after all, it's the TD Banknorth Garden. It just hadn't hit me that it was all the same company now.
Now my question is this: if, say, I was to travel a lot between Toronto, New York, and New England (like Boston), would it behoove me to get a TD Canada Trust or TD Banknorth account, and would I have to pay exhorbitant ATM fees to withdraw cash here or there, beyond the exchange rate?
(Of course, I could ask the same question about Citizens Bank having joined the sphincterical* Royal Bank of Scotland Group.
If I put my U.S. bank card in an RBS ATM in the British Isles, can I really expect to get away without paying an arm and a leg?)

Shoot. I'm hungry too. For a bacon cheeseburger.
