There may be a leadership change at TD Bank due to the problems with its anti-money laundering (AML) policies.
Ten shareholders and two analysts were surveyed for an August 28 Reuters story that stated the appointment of a new chief executive officer is anticipated in the year 2025.

According to TD Bank’s representative, the bank takes its succession planning seriously and takes pride in its strong senior executive team.
