My name is Maria Medei and our business is Casilio Concrete. We're a family-owned business that's been in business for 83 years and we deliver and manufacture ready-mix concrete. We also have a trucking company that supplies us with all our raw materials and does stone deliveries for our crushing plant that recycles concrete block brick and stone. I started working on and off in the business in summers when I was in high school and through college. I came back to the business full time in 1981 and just worked my way up the ranks into the management part of our business. Before I started in management, my aunt was here running our business for a long time, along with my dad and my uncle, so there's always been a pretty dominant female in our business. We recently finished Lehigh University Science Center. We also did the Lehigh University dormitories. We did the Coplay Bridge a few years ago. We also did Werner Trucking, which was a very unique project in that the outside was all paved in about 15,000 yards of concrete. New Tripoli Bank has helped us a lot in accomplishing our business goals. We recently purchased a new plant in Nazareth. It was a turnkey plant, so we wanted to get in and running right away and I can't say enough of how helpful Bob was to get that done in such a timely manner. It was probably a three-week process from once we got our number until we were able to run and make concrete. When we buy something for a business it's not cheap. (laughs) Our trucks are expensive, our equipment we need is expensive, and New Tripoli Bank has always been there. We did about two or three months ago have a large check that came through that was a fraudulent check. In the morning, when I was looking at our account, I saw the check and I called Sundra right away and they closed our account. They helped us get our new account set up very quickly. I was worried that this was going to be a hard process but they made it so simple. They took care of that right away, it was just such an easy process for something that I thought was going to be so hard to resolve. We do probably 99.9% of our banking remotely. First thing I do when I turn my computer on in the morning is go on my bank accounts and I look at all of our accounts. I can pay all our loans online, I can transfer money online, I can pay bills online. It's a very efficient process to use the remote deposit, it's faster than writing up a deposit slip. Every day we're running checks through the machine, depositing them into the bank and they're there the next morning. I just think that the bank has helped our business grow. We had worked through some hard times a couple years ago and the bank was right there for us and I don't think we could have done it as well as we have without the help of New Tripoli Bank.

My name is Kyra Hendricks and I'm from Kempton, Pennsylvania, and I am the owner of Wanamakers General Store, which is an old-fashioned general store and market that was built in the late 1800's.

We offer everything from fresh locally made sandwiches, salads, we have a full deli, bulk foods, organic produce, locally-roasted coffee, interesting locally made crafts, toys; it's a one stop shop for convenience store items. Basically, you name it and we try and carry it. I'm the fifth owner of the store. I came to New Tripoli Bank when I wanted to buy out my former business partner and they helped me to get a mortgage for the business and the building.

Because we already did a lot of our business banking through New Tripoli, they were very familiar with our business practices and that made getting a mortgage through them a relatively simple and painless process.

Our philosophy at Wanamakers has always been to source things locally and then kind of move out from there, so it just made sense to also go with a local bank. What I like about going to New Tripoli is everybody in the lobby is very friendly and anytime I need any supplies, such as checks, or I'm kind of scrambling to get something accomplished, everybody goes out of their way to help me achieve that. I can always get a hold of a person if I need to talk to somebody in real time. If I have any issues with anything, it's resolved within a very short period of time. Again, it's a small town business and it just has that small town community feel.

Hi, my name is Jill Wenz. I'm the owner of Wenz Tax & Financial Services here in Allentown. I operate the business with my husband and two children. We also have offices in Palmerton and Easton. We do individual and business taxes, tax planning, bookkeeping, and payroll. I was looking for a bank that would provide me with great service and I liked the fact that New Tripoli Bank had all the mobile banking features and the remote deposit scanner. I also like the fact that New Tripoli Bank wasn't charging me per item fees for checks. I have a really high volume of transactions during tax season, so that was a big factor. We also invest in real estate and we liked the fact that we had a local lender that we could work with directly. I was tired of the bank I was using constantly being bought out and having to change all my checks and routing numbers, so when I started looking for a bank I wanted a bank that was going to give me great service and be around. Everyone at the bank has been so helpful and so kind whenever we've come in to open an account. Any time we have a question, we get answers immediately. I usually tell people to use New Tripoli Bank because they're easy to work with.

My name is Jeremy Rex, I’m 39 years old, I have lived in the Lehigh Valley my entire life. I grew up on a local farm run by my parents. This house was built by my great grandfather in 1953. When the opportunity presented itself for me to have the option of buying my family’s home next to my parents, I took into consideration that I’ve been a loyal customer to New Tripoli Bank ever since I was born. Working with the mortgage department at New Tripoli Bank was a very easy process and they worked with me, going through several different options of mortgage to purchase my family house, and keep it in the family for maybe one, two more generations. And it means a lot to me that I had the opportunity to be able to buy this property that was built by my great grandfather.

New Tripoli Bank is always looking to make opening a new account easier. iOpen is the latest addition to our online banking tools, allowing existing New Tripoli Bank customers to open a new account without needing to visit a branch office.

Let’s take a look at how easy it is to open a new account.

Log into your New Tripoli Bank online account and click the “Open an Account” tab at the top of the page.

Make sure you read the Online Account Opening Disclosure before proceeding. You need to accept the terms of the agreement to open a new account.

Select whether you would like to start a new account opening or return to a previous account opening you have saved.

If you want to open a joint account, check the box and fill out the information for the joint owner of the new account.

Select the type of account you would like to open from the drop-down menus. If you’re not sure which one you want, click “here” to visit our product pages, where you can look up information about each account. Once you’ve selected the desired account, you have the option to nickname your new account to keep your accounts organized.

If you’d like to open more than one new account at the same time, click “Add An Account” and repeat the previous steps.

If you have an existing ATM or debit card with New Tripoli Bank, you can link that card to your new account. If you have multiple ATM or debit cards, they will appear in the drop-down menu.

Select an existing bank account from which you would like to transfer funds to your new account. This can be a New Tripoli Bank account or an account from a different financial institution. If there is a minimum deposit requirement, it will be displayed on this page. Enter the amount you want to transfer into your new account before proceeding.

Take the time to review each disclosure and agreement associated with the accounts you are opening. You must open and read each document before checking the boxes or you will receive an error message when you submit.

The last step is to verify that all the information you’ve entered is correct. Once you’ve reviewed the information, press confirm and submit to open your new bank account!

This feature is also available in our mobile banking app, so you can open a new account on your smartphone or tablet. For those of you who don’t already have a New Tripoli Bank account, don’t worry! We are planning to roll out online account opening for new customers soon.

Opening a new account has never been easier thanks to iOpen with New Tripoli Bank.
