On April 23rd, 2020, the Federal Reserve announced an INTERIM final rule that banks do not have to monitor the number of transfers and withdrawals that can be made from savings deposits. Therefore, New Tripoli Bank has decided that we will no longer monitor transfers from our customers' statement savings or money market accounts (both for business and personal customers) involving preauthorized withdrawals, online banking or telephone banking transfers.

Should the Federal Reserve change this rulemaking and go back to the six transaction per month limitation, we will notify our customers immediately.

New Tripoli Bank is happy to announce that Donna Sigley has been promoted to Vice President, Mortgage Loan Officer for New Tripoli Bank.

Donna has been interested in banking for most of her life. While attending Emmaus High School, Donna enrolled in night classes at Merchants Bank to learn more about the banking industry. Prior to joining New Tripoli Bank, Donna worked as a cashier in the cafeteria at Northwestern Lehigh, a position that afforded her more personal time to spend with her husband and raising their two sons. However, Donna’s interest in banking never went away. When her sons were old enough, she applied for a job at New Tripoli Bank (where she was a customer) and started employment as a teller in February, 2001. Within a year, she was also working as a loan processor. She was promoted to Mortgage Officer in 2007 and Assistant Vice President in 2013.

Donna says her favorite part of the job is the opportunity to help customers achieve their personal financial milestones, whether it’s their first car loan, first mortgage, or simply advising customers looking to build good credit. She’s thankful for the mentorship she received from the leadership at New Tripoli Bank and her coworkers in the loan department, all of whom she credits for helping her succeed as a loan officer with New Tripoli Bank.

Congratulations to Donna on her well-deserved promotion and for being such a vital part of the New Tripoli Bank family for the last 19 years.

Jack Dasilva, New Tripoli Bank Vice President and Security/BSA Officer, and Sundra Bachman, New Tripoli Bank Vice President and Senior Branch Manager at the Buckeye office, discuss security topics.

Over the past three months, New Tripoli Bank hosted a series of free seminars in order to educate Lehigh Valley residents about the startling rise in incidents of scam and fraud in our community and what people can do to protect themselves. We invited customers and community members to join us at the New Tripoli and Buckeye offices, where bank employees and guest speakers discussed a wide range of security topics including elder abuse, cybersecurity, scams, and fraud schemes. Over 300 people showed up to these seminars to learn how they could protect themselves from identity theft or financial injury and engage in dialogue with experts on these issues.

As a community bank, it is important that our customers trust us to keep their money and personal information safe. During these seminars, New Tripoli Bank employees including managers, tellers, and IT professionals discussed the signs of financial fraud and identity theft that our employees encounter on a regular basis and explained how our bank staff are trained to identify these scams, aiding customers who may unwittingly be in the midst of becoming a victim. In addition, we want to make it clear that, should anyone in our community—whether they are a customer or simply a concerned citizen—notice something suspicious or worry about protecting themselves, they should get in touch with our trained bank staff who are able to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

We also recorded the seminar held on September 25^th at our Buckeye office and have uploaded these recordings to YouTube for anyone to view. If you are interested in protecting yourself from scams and fraud, you can view them here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7Hu2eOxbWd9ln_8Ijvut0G42TWSLRRKI
