LSS/TD BANK AFFINITY PLAN - (formerly Commerce Bank) has offered Lincoln Square Synagogue the opportunity to participate in its Affinity Membership Program. Based on the level of participation by our members we will receive a contribution from TD Bank annually. The amount will be based on the average monthly balances in TD Bank deposits accounts including checking, savings, money market accounts, Certificates of Deposits and Retirement accounts. Existing and new accounts are eligible. At no time will LSS have access to any account information or even know who signed up.

 All you need to do is tell your banker to code your account to the LSS Affinity Plan. We need the participation of at least 50 members in order to qualify for the contribution.

If you currently have an account at TD Bank, please tell a Banker that you would like to sign up for the LSS Affinity Program. If you don’t currently have an account, we would like to ask you to consider opening an account at TD Bank. TD Bank has offices at 68th Street and Broadway and at 74th Street and Broadway, and in many other locations through out the City.
