Thank you for taking the time to visit Amalgamated Bank's website.
Protecting your privacy is important to Amalgamated Bank and our employees. We want
you to understand what information we collect and how we use it. In order to provide
our customers with a broad range of financial products and services as effectively and
conveniently as possibly, we use technology to manage and maintain customer
information. The following policy serves as a standard for all Amalgamated Bank
employees for collection, use, retention and security of nonpublic personal information.
What Information We Collect
We may collect nonpublic personal information about you from the following sources:
- Information we receive from you on applications or other loan and account forms;
- Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates or others; and
- Information we receive from third parties such as credit bureaus.
Nonpublic personal information is nonpublic information about you that we obtain in
connection with providing a financial product or service to you. For example, nonpublic
personal information includes information such as your account balance, payment history
and overdraft history.
What Information We Disclose
We are permitted under law to share information about our experiences or transactions
with you or your account (such as your account balance and your payment history with
us) with companies related to us by common control or ownership (affiliates). We do not
disclose any information beyond the exceptions permitted by law.
We are also permitted under law to disclose nonpublic personal information about you to
non-affiliated third parties (i.e., third parties that are not members of our corporate
family) in certain circumstances. For example, we may disclose nonpublic personal
information about you to such third parties to assist us in servicing your loan or account
with us; to government entities in response to subpoenas; and to credit bureaus. We may also
disclose this information to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or
to other financial institutions with whom we have joint marketing agreements. We do
not disclose any nonpublic personal information about you to any other third parties,
except as permitted by law.
Our Former Customers
If you decide to close your account(s) or become an inactive customer, we will continue

Our Security Procedures
We also take steps to safeguard customer information. We restrict access to your
personal and account information to those employees who need to know that information
to provide products or services to you. In addition, we ensure that our employees are aware of their obligations to protect your information. We maintain physical, electronic
and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic
personal information.
