New Tripoli Bank has donated $10,000 to the Parkland School District Education Foundation as part of an ongoing effort to support public education in our community.

This donation will go toward supporting educational programs that might not otherwise receive funding, providing the students of Parkland School District with the tools and skills they need to thrive. These funds will be used for educational grant opportunities to students and educators in the district, funding academic projects that will offer enhanced and unique learning experiences for their students.

New Tripoli Bank is a proud supporter of education and this donation ensures our local school districts can provide their students with modern technology and equipment, as well as opportunities that can help them prepare for future careers or higher education after graduation.

This past weekend was the 15th Annual Pioneer Apple Festival at Ontelaunee Park in New Tripoli. Like the previous Apple Festivals, a number of New Tripoli Bank employees volunteered their time that day to hand out free ice cream to festival attendees. This is one of our favorite community events each year, due in no small part to being able to meet with our customers and the wider community outside of our branch offices. It also helps that we're spending the day handing out free ice cream which means plenty of smiles!

If you've never attended Pioneer Apple Festival, you're missing out! There's plenty of live music, a parade of tractors and plenty of food stands selling homemade specialties you won't find at your local restaurant. Hosted by the Lynn-Heidelberg Historical Society with the support of various organizations in the Lehigh Valley, this annual festival is a celebration of our community and shared heritage.

Big thanks to our volunteers this year: Gail Post, VP & Mortgage Loan Officer, Brenda Smoyer, New Tripoli Branch Manager, Laura Beltz, Accounting Rep., Betty Dean, Teller, Patricia Metzger, Universal Banker, Michelle Jones, Lead Accounting Specialist, Megan Belnoski, Data Ops. Rep., Sarah Martinez, Teller, and Sarah Gressley, Benefits & Payroll Manager.

Welcome to the new and improved New Tripoli Bank website!

Our mission at New Tripoli Bank is to provide our customers with the latest in banking service and technology. As part of that mission, we felt it was time to modernize and expand our website. You can still find all the information from our previous site, but we’ve redesigned the site so you can find things faster and easier.

You can now log into online banking directly from our home page. Deposit and loan rates now appear on their product pages in addition to links from the homepage. We’ve expanded the scope of our community page to include news about the bank, press releases, and blog posts (like this one) about our bank and community. There is now a resource center where you can access all of our security articles, as well as frequently asked questions, calculators, and other useful tools.

Because we know so many of our customers do their banking from their mobile devices, we’ve updated our mobile site for better navigation and faster load times. You can still access all the same pages and information as our desktop site, but the whole site has been optimized for access via tablet and smartphone.

Even with a new coat of paint, we’re still the same community bank that has been serving the Lehigh Valley for over one hundred years. This updated website is simply our commitment to combine a century of banking experience with the convenience of modern technology. We hope you like it!
