2 Household accounts are defined as those TD Direct Investing accounts for clients living in the same household, with the same address. You must advise TD Direct Investing of these multiple account relationships. Your household's quarterly trading activity and asset level are reviewed on a monthly basis.

You must re-qualify on a monthly basis for these rates to stay in effect.
