Despite some bank acquisitions such as Great Lakes Bancorp and Standard Financial, TCF Bank has grown primarily through de novo expansion.

In 2002, the University of Michigan announced that TCF Bank had been selected as a preferred provider of banking services to students, faculty, and staff.
In 2005, TCF Bank announced the sale of its Michigan headquarters building to Ann Arbor real-estate company McKinley Associates, though part of the ground level remains a TCF Bank branch.

Controversy
Overdraft Service
In 2010, TCF Bank was sued regarding overdraft. Some practices that came to light included processing higher amount transactions first in order to drain customer accounts faster, allowing TCF to then increase the number of total overdraft charges from each of the smaller amounts remaining, as well as charging overdraft fees on a daily basis rather than posing one flat fee. In 2011, TCF Bank changed its overdraft policy to include a daily $28 fee. After public backlash, the bank reversed its policy in 2012.
Bank Secrecy Act
In 2013 TCF was assessed a $10 million fine for violating the Bank Secrecy Act. This was a result of their failure to file suspicious activity reports in a timely fashion.
TCF Bank Stadium
On March 24, 2005, TCF Bank and the University of Minnesota announced that the bank would contribute $35 million during a 25-year period toward a proposed on-campus outdoor football stadium, in exchange for naming rights. The original agreement was to expire December 31, 2005, but was extended to June 30, 2006. The bill authorizing the stadium was signed into law by the governor on May 24, 2006, and the stadium officially opened its doors for the inaugural Gopher football game of the 2009 season, held on September 12, 2009.
