Commerce Bank Confusion
There were several banks operating in the United States under the name "Commerce Bank" or a similar name, such as Commerce Bank and Trust Company, in Worcester, Massachusetts. A lawsuit by the latter bank caused TD to discontinue its plans to use the name TD Commerce Bank for the new bank. Similarly, the now-defunct Commerce Bancorp should not be confused with Commerce Bancshares, in Kansas City, Missouri, and Commerce National Bank, in Columbus, Ohio.

Famous quotes containing the words commerce, bank and/or confusion:
“The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Life is a long Dardenelles, My Dear Madam, the shores whereof are bright with flowers, which we want to pluck, but the bank is too high; & so we float on & on, hoping to come to a landing-place at last—but swoop! we launch into the great sea! Yet the geographers say, even then we must not despair, because across the great sea, however desolate & vacant it may look, lie all Persia & the delicious lands roundabout Damascus.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The confusion is not my invention. We cannot listen to a conversation for five minutes without being aware of the confusion. It is all around us and our only chance now is to let it in. The only chance of renovation is to open our eyes and see the mess. It is not a mess you can make sense of.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
