Through the partnership, TD will provide Walter E. Smithe Furniture & Design clients with financing options through the retailer's SmitheCard. Clients can apply for the SmitheCard at the retailer's 11 showrooms across Illinois and Indiana, and on the retailer's website, www.smithe.com.

"Presenting clients with financing options is just as important as offering quality products, steadfast warranties, and an impressive inventory—it's something clients have simply come to expect and rely on," said Walter Smithe, III, president, Walter E. Smithe Furniture & Design.

"When we were reviewing our options for financing partners, we were impressed with TD's client-centric approach and their willingness to customize a program that works best for our clients while aligning with our business objectives. We prioritize the client experience, and so do they—so this was an ideal fit for us,” he added.

"Walter E. Smithe Furniture & Design is truly an iconic brand in the Chicago area, and we couldn't be more pleased to partner with them," said Mike Rittler, head of partnership programs, TD Bank. "We're excited to align and customize our offerings to contribute to the continued success of their business, while leveraging our own financing and marketing expertise to incorporate tools and solutions that will deepen client engagement and drive sales."
