MY TRANSIT NUMBER IS ONLY FOUR DIGITS!

[s_durham]

I am trying to set up my new debit account that i have with td canada trust. The transit number for that bank is simply four numbers. Paypal will not allow me to enter a transit number with less than 5! help.

I'm having the exact same issue. I'm also with TD. There's got to be a way around this problem!

I am having the same trouble, my bank is also TD Canada Trust. I have tried putting an extra zero at the front and that has not helped.  My account has a four digit transit number and PayPals form only seems to accept five digits.

I've just found the answer to this problem. You have to add an extra digi to the branch number as per bellow.

In a Canadian bank transit number, the last digit of the branch number, with few exceptions, indicates the geographical location of the branch.

Branch numbers ending with:

* 0 are located in British Columbia and Yukon
* 1 are located in Western Québec including Montreal and surrounding areas
* 2 are located in Ontario including Toronto and surrounding area
* 3 are located in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland excluding Labrador
* 4 are located in New Brunswick
* 5 are located in Eastern Québec including Labrador
* 6 are located in Eastern Ontario including Ottawa and surrounding area
* 7 are located in Manitoba and North-Western Ontario
* 8 are located in Saskatchewan
* 9 are located in Alberta, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut (?)
