Core Essentials / Bank Survey

You are being called by a third-party survey company who wants to ask you about a recent experience with your bank or other organization. The most common bank on whose behalf they are calling is TD Bank. In most cases, customers who have had a recent interaction with TD Bank will be called by Core Essentials for a short survey on their recent experience.

Because this is based on an interaction you had with a business, the Do Not Call rules do not apply. Chances are there was some fine print somewhere that you agreed to which allows your bank to hound you with these types of calls, or via agents on their behalf.

Calling 8554964285 back will reach a recorded message explaining the purpose of their call. Though it will often be busy when you call, if you manage to get through you’ll be greeted by the following message:
