Banking often seems cold and impersonal, more about transactions than real, human relationships. But one bank is on a mission to make banking human again. TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank®, recently declared its third “Bank Human” campaign, which uses cinematic-style advertisements to illustrate that it doesn’t take superhuman powers to solve customer problems.

Launched in 2013, TD Bank’s Bank Human campaign originally highlighted common customer frustrations, such as waiting a week to get a debit card or dealing with automated tellers, contrasting these unpleasant banking transactions with TD Bank’s uniquely human experience.

Bank Human 3.0 centers on what customers need by highlighting common pain points such as the natural tendency to run late, the desire for convenience and the need to balance spending and saving, recognizing that customers’ problems are important to them. The campaign takes a light-hearted, entertaining approach, rather than heavily promoting the Bank’s products and services. In keeping with the Bank’s core values, the campaign portrays a diverse group of customers that mirrors the vibrant diversity of the customers it serves, counting a same-sex couple.
