CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO
                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Dennis R. Stewart,  Executive  Vice  President and Chief  Financial  Officer,
certify that:

1.   I have  reviewed  this  quarterly  report  on  Form  10-Q  of TF  Financial
     Corporation (Registrant);

2.   Based on my knowledge,  this  quarterly  report does not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to
     make the statements  made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such
     statements  were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this quarterly report;

3.   Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
     information  included  in this  quarterly  report,  fairly  present  in all
     material  respects the financial  position,  results of operations and cash
     flows of the  Registrant  as of, and for,  the  periods  presented  in this
     quarterly report;

4.   The  Registrant's  other  certifying  officer  and  I are  responsible  for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)) for the Registrant and we have:

     a)   designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures , or caused such
          disclosure   controls  and   procedures  to  be  designed   under  our
          supervision,  to ensure  that  material  information  relating  to the
          Registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
          us by others within those entities,  particularly during the period in
          which this quarterly report is being prepared;

     b)   evaluated the  effectiveness of the Registrant's  disclosure  controls
          and procedures and presented in this quarterly  report our conclusions
          about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,  as
          of the  end of the  period  covered  by  this  report  based  on  such
          evaluation; and

     c)   disclosed  in this  report  any  change in the  Registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the Registrant's
          most  recent  fiscal  quarter  that  has  materially  affected,  or is
          reasonably  likely to materially  affect,  the  Registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting; and

5.   The Registrant's  other certifying  officer and I have disclosed,  based on
     our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting (as
     defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)),  to the Registrant's auditors and
     the  audit  committee  of  Registrant's  board  of  directors  (or  persons
     performing the equivalent function):

     a)   all significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
          operation  of internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which are
          reasonably  likely to  adversely  affect the  Registrant's  ability to
          record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

     b)   any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
          employees who have a  significant  role in the  Registrant's  internal
          control over financial  reporting.
