  • Will my accounts be covered by FDIC? What if I have accounts at New Resource Bank and Amalgamated?

    Please refer to this FDIC Guide for detailed information concerning FDIC coverage.

  • Where do I send my loan payment?

    There are several options for payments.

    • Payments can be made at any of our branch locations
    • Effective February 1, 2018, payments can be mailed to our new lockbox
       

    Amalgamated Bank Loans
    P.O. Box 68090
    Newark, NJ  07101-8087
     

    • Consumer and residential mortgage payments can also be made through the Amalgamated Online Banking system
    • Direct ACH debits can be setup by contacting us at 800-332-2669
  • What is Encryption?

    Encryption is the coding/translation of information for transmission back and forth between two points (such as your home PC and our computer). It's the most effective way to ensure the security of information being sent from one point to another as it protects your information so it can't be intercepted and read by a third party while being transmitted to us. When you submit your electronic application to us, the information is converted into an encrypted format. Once within our system, the information is decoded back into its original characters through our use of a secret key.

  • What about my CDs?

    A special merger rule exists for CDs issued by an acquired bank. Separate insurance for CDs issued by the acquired bank is maintained until maturity. It’s only when the CD matures — perhaps years into the future — that the depositor may need to consider restructuring accounts or moving the excess above $250,000 to another FDIC-insured bank to continue to be fully insured.

    CDs from New Resource Bank are separately insured until the earliest maturity date after the end of the six-month grace period. CDs that mature during the six-month period, and are renewed for the same term and in the same dollar amount (either with or without accrued interest), continue to be separately insured until the first maturity date after the six-month period. If a CD matures during the six-month grace period and is renewed on any other basis, it would be separately insured only until the end of the six-month grace period.
     

    CD Maturity

    The following maturity scenarios will help you determine your CD coverage:

    After the merger, IF... AND... THEN...
    New Resource Bank CD matures within 6 months... Is renewed for the same amount and for the same term... CD remains separately insured from accounts at Amalgamated Bank until maturity.
    New Resource Bank CD matures within 6 months... Is renewed for a different amount or term... Separate coverage is provided only for the six months from the merger date.
    New Resource Bank CD does not mature within 6 months...   Separate coverage ends upon maturity of the CD.
  • What is 128 Bit Encryption?

    There are basically two types of encryption: Standard and High. Standard Encryption can be, for example, "40 Bit" while High would be "128 Bit". The numbers refer to the size of the key used to encrypt the message. With the ever-increasing computing power of potential criminals, it is becoming increasingly necessary to use larger keys. Roughly speaking, the 128 Bit (High) Encryption is 309,485,009,821,345,068,724,781,056 times stronger than a "40 Bit" (Standard) Encryption! Amalgamated Bank applies 128 Bit "High" Encryption to its Online Banking processes.

  • Does Amalgamated offer wire transfers?

    Starting November 13, outgoing international wires on consumer accounts will no longer be permitted. Outgoing domestic wires on consumer accounts can only be made at a branch, not by phone. However, you can arrange for Account-to-Account and Person-to-Person External Transfers ("People Pay") through Online Banking. To enroll in “People Pay,” select “Pay people” under the “Pay and Transfer” drop down menu in Amalgamated Online Banking. 

    Wires for business accounts can only be made via AOTM or in branch and not by phone/fax. Commercial clients are required to have two approvers with security token authentication (unless they sign our Request to Use Alternate Security Procedures form). Small business clients are only required to have one approver.

  • Will my New Resource Bank credit card be changing?

    You can continue using your current New Resource Bank Visa® credit cards until they expire. Amalgamated Bank will issue replacement cards at that time. To access your credit card account after November 9, you may use your existing credit card login credentials at: https://www.myaccountaccess.com/onlineCard/login.do?theme=elan1&loc=24287

  • What Does SSL Mean?

    SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It's an agreed upon format (a.k.a. protocol) for transmitting data or private documents between two devices (such as your home PC and our computer) over the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt (code/translate) the data that's being transferred over the SSL connection. Both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft's Internet Explorer browsers use SSL, and many websites (including ours) use this protocol to obtain confidential information from their customers.

  • What electronic banking services will I have at Amalgamated Bank?

    Once our systems are consolidated later this year, you will continue to enjoy Online Banking with Bill Pay and Mobile Banking1 with Mobile Deposit. Plus, you’ll be able to take advantage of People Pay—a fast, safe way to send and receive money to almost anyone with an e-mail address or mobile number. We also offer SMS text-message alerts, 24-hour Telephone Banking and more than 40,000 surcharge-free2 ATMs nationwide through the Allpoint® network, when you use an Amalgamated Bank Debit Card. For businesses, we offer treasury management and merchant services solutions. More information is available at amalgamatedbank.com.

    Until we fully integrate our products and systems, you may continue using Online Banking at newresourcebank.com as well as your existing New Resource Bank Debit Cards and MoneyPass® ATM Network.

    1 Your mobile carrier’s message and data rates may apply.

    2 Fees may apply for non-Amalgamated, non-Allpoint® and international ATM transactions.

  • How will I learn about my new Amalgamated accounts?

    We will mail you a package of information about the transition in late September. You’ll learn the new names of your accounts, as well as their key features. We’ll enclose a brochure that tells you more about Amalgamated, with an overview of the new opportunities you’ll gain, as well as an account Terms and Conditions document for your records.

    You’ll also see your new accounts when you log in to Amalgamated Online and Mobile Banking on or after November 13. 

  • Will there be a change to my monthly fees?

    In many cases, monthly maintenance fees for your new Amalgamated accounts will be reduced or possibly eliminated. You’ll find all of this information detailed in the transition letter that we mailed to you in late September. You can also refer to our Account Opening Disclosures for detailed information on our account fees.

  • What is a one-time security code?

    It is a randomly generated one-time code we provide. You enter it before completing certain transactions to prevent fraudulent transactions and unauthorized access to your financial information.

  • What happens to my FDIC insurance coverage if I have deposits at two insured banks that merge?

    When two or more insured banks merge, deposits from the assumed bank are separately insured from deposits at the assuming bank for at least six months after the merger.

    Like New Resource Bank, Amalgamated Bank offers deposit insurance coverage as provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The deposits from New Resource Bank continue to be insured separately for at least six months after the merger. This grace period gives a depositor the opportunity to restructure his or her accounts, if necessary.

  • Why is a one-time security code needed?

    It is an extra layer of online banking protection that ensures that your funds and financial information are safe. By requiring the entry of a one-time code and the use of a phone you have on record with us, fraud is prevented even if an unauthorized user learns your online banking user ID and password. It also ensures that you are notified if an unauthorized user attempts to access your account information or complete transactions without your knowledge.

  • When will I be able to start using Amalgamated branches?

    Once the integration of the two banks is completed, you will then be able to start banking at Amalgamated branches. We will keep you informed of this date as it approaches. In the meantime, you should continue banking as usual.

  • Where does my money go when banking with Amalgamated? How can I be sure Amalgamated is a responsible steward of capital?

    When you deposit your money at Amalgamated, it supports sustainable organizations, progressive causes and social justice efforts. If a business has a solid mission in addition to a strong balance sheet, we do our best to help finance it. We’ve funded food banks, day care programs, women’s health centers, voting rights organizations, affordable housing projects, clean energy companies and environmentally friendly projects. We are committed to helping more enterprises and families get the financial backing they need to grow and succeed.

    We also put our own money where our mouth is. We donate to cause-related organizations when our customers use their debit cards or when they open new accounts. All of our Political Action Committee (PAC) money goes to Democratic candidates whose policies share our values. We won’t lend a dime or invest a nickel in companies, projects or people that are working against social, economic or environmental progress.

    And, as part of our commitment to addressing climate change, Amalgamated Bank crafted policies to reduce carbon risk across our own assets and lending portfolio, built new capacity and products to serve clients who are similarly concerned with the hazards of human-made climate change, and, in 2017, made a commitment to be net zero electricity in our operations by the end of 2018.

  • How do I use a one-time security code?

    It is easy! We'll give you the one-time code and you are asked to enter it when we call a number you have on record with us.

  • How can I find out if my deposits are insured by the FDIC?

    The FDIC has launched a national campaign designed to help consumers learn about the benefits and limitations of deposit insurance. The public awareness campaign encourages consumers to visit https://www5.fdic.gov/edie/, where you can use the Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE), an online tool that provides customized information about your insured deposits. EDIE lets consumers and bankers know, on a per-bank basis, how the insurance rules and limits apply to a depositor’s specific group of deposit accounts—what’s insured and what portion (if any) exceeds coverage limits at that bank. EDIE also allows the user to print the report for their records. The estimator has been simplified and made more accessible as part of the national campaign. If you do not have online access, you may call the FDIC toll-free at 877-ASK-FDIC for assistance.

    In addition, the FDIC has a brochure titled “Your Insured Deposits” that provides a comprehensive description of FDIC deposit insurance coverage for the most common account ownership categories. The brochure can be obtained directly from the FDIC website at https://www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/.

  • Will I see changes in the terms and conditions of my loans or lines of credit?

  • How can I keep my deposits within FDIC insurance limits?

    If you have $250,000 or less in all of your deposit accounts at either New Resource Bank or Amalgamated Bank, you do not need to worry about your insurance coverage — your deposits are fully insured. A depositor can have more than $250,000 at one insured bank and still be fully insured, provided the accounts meet certain requirements.

  • Why did my payment amount go up?

    One of the most common reasons why your monthly payment might increase would be a change in the monthly escrow portion of your payment. This could be caused by an increase in your local property taxes, or an increase in the cost of your homeowner’s insurance policy. Your real estate taxes may be different as a result of property being reassessed, the tax rate changing or the loss of a tax exemption. Unexpected tax bills for special assessments charged by your local tax authority will also impact the amount we collect for taxes. Please contact your local taxing authority for any changes to your real estate taxes. Your insurance premium may change as a result of changes to the type or extent of your insurance coverage or if your rate was changed. Please contact your insurance agent for any questions regarding any changes to your Insurance.

    If your loan is less than one (1) year old, the amount collected for taxes and insurance at closing may not have been sufficient to cover the required disbursements.
    If you have a variable rate loan, the rate is subject to change and the payment may increase.

    Please contact our Loan Servicing Team at 800-332-2669.

  • Is Touch ID/Face ID and Passcode access secure?

    Touch ID/Face ID and passcode is a secure means of accessing your account. The app will only log you in once your unique fingerprint, face or passcode is verified. Even if your Passcode is compromised, Mobile Banking sessions initiated via Touch ID/Face ID and passcode are “read-only,” meaning that no transactions can be performed without the app first requiring your full Online/Mobile Banking User ID and Password.

  • How do I configure Touch ID/Face ID and Passcode?

    Once you log into the Mobile Banking app, you will see a screen entitled, “What’s New.” Users of the iPhone 6S and newer will see walk-through Touch ID configuration instructions while all other iPhone®/Android™ users will see the Passcode walk-through configuration screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up Touch ID/Passcode access. If you do not wish to configure Touch ID/Face ID and passcode access, simply tap “Skip” in the right corner of the screen. Three ways to log in to Mobile Banking: (iPhone® 6S and newer)

     

    1. Username and Password

    2. Passcode

    3. Biometrics

     

  • How do I turn off Passcode/Face ID/Touch ID access or change my Passcode?

    Passcode/Face ID/Touch ID maintenance is performed within Mobile Banking Settings. Settings can be found in the app’s Main Menu. The Settings page requires full login authentication. If you did not access Mobile Banking via full login authentication, you will be prompted for your User ID and Password. Once authenticated, you will be presented with the Settings where you can see if Passcode/Face ID/Touch ID is currently on and disable or change the Passcode/Face ID/Touch ID. (iPhone® 6S and newer)

      
      
  • Why should I use biometric authentication or passcode to sign on?
