The original Commerce Bancorp (a separate New Jersey-based entity known for its fast-growing retail model) was acquired by the Toronto-Dominion Bank and fully integrated into TD Banknorth, which was later rebranded simply as TD Bank. However, the modern Commerce Bank (Commerce Bancshares, Inc.), which operates prominently across Missouri and neighboring Midwestern states, is an entirely independent, publicly traded financial institution and has no corporate ownership connection to TD Bank.
