New Tripoli Bank has donated $60,000 toward the construction of a permanent memorial in Ontelaunee Park, New Tripoli, to honor our local Veterans. The construction of the memorial is being overseen by the Northwestern Lehigh Veterans Memorial Committee which is made up of residents from Heidelberg, Lynn, Lowhill, and Weisenberg Townships.

The committee is looking to raise $300,000 in total toward the Veterans memorial. If people are interested in contributing to the memorial, donations can be made at the committee’s website at https://nwlehighvetsmemorial.org/product/donation/

The mission of this memorial is to list the names of all local residents who have served in the United States military from the Revolutionary War up to the present day, with provisions in place to add future Veterans’ names to the memorial. These names will be engraved on granite panels and accompanied by an electronic database of Veterans’ service experience accessible on the committee’s website for use by family members and historians.

New Tripoli Bank and the memorial committee hope the memorial will serve as a solemn place for all residents to visit and remember the Veterans who have gone before us, as well as recognize those actively serving to protect our country today. They look forward to giving local school districts the opportunity to visit the memorial and get a local perspective on the history and contributions of local Veterans.

New Tripoli Bank has donated $25,000 to the East Penn School District (EPSD) Education Foundation as part of their ongoing effort to support public education in our community.

This donation will help with the EPSD Education Foundation’s mission to enrich, extend and deepen the educational experience of East Penn School District Students with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. The foundation is committed to supporting projects related to the educational programs and the development of the students of the school district, which is also important to our community.

New Tripoli Bank is a proud supporter of education, said John Hayes, New Tripoli Bank’s EVP and Chief Lending Officer: “This donation ensures our local school district can continue to provide their students with modern technology and equipment that will enhance their learning experience and prepare them for future success.”

New Tripoli Bank has donated $100,000 to the Northwestern Lehigh Education Foundation as part of an ongoing effort to support public education in our community. This is the bank's 8th annual contribution to the Foundation and with it the bank will have donated over $1 million to the Foundation over that time.

This year has been difficult for all of us, especially for our schools needing to adapt to hybrid learning. This donation will go to upgrading the Smart Boards in Northwestern Lehigh schools to new boards that allow for simultaneous in-classroom and remote learning.

New Tripoli Bank continues to be a proud supporter of education in our community. This donation ensures Northwestern Lehigh School District can provide their students with educational technology adapted for 2020’s unusual circumstances so they may continue with their learning and prepare them for success in the future.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, New Tripoli Bank has taken steps to ensure the health and safety of our customers by providing community banking. We are VERY excited that starting this Friday, June 26th, New Tripoli Bank is fully re-opening our branch lobbies to the general public. We have been working over the past several weeks to make sure that CDC procedures are in place to ensure your good health when you do visit our branch offices.

You'll notice a few changes in our lobbies upon reopening:

• Protective plexiglass shields have been installed at teller stations. Employees will be wearing facemasks and we require all customers to wear them as well. For security, if you are wearing a mask, you may be asked to temporarily remove it if we cannot immediately identify you.
• Please use the touchless hand sanitizing station when you enter our lobby.
• All work areas, door handles, desks, teller stations, drive-up canisters are cleaned at regular intervals during the day.
• Please continue the 6-foot social distancing rule. There are decal stickers on the floor to assist you. If lobbies become crowded and social distancing cannot be met, a staff member may ask you to wait outside until others complete their transactions.
• Please, for the safety of our employees and customer, do not visit the bank if you do not feel well.

We encourage customers to continue to use online, mobile, telephone, ATM and drive-up banking options whenever possible while we continue to all do our part to reduce the spread of the virus.

We are looking forward to seeing familiar faces again and we are grateful to be able to resume our normal schedule to serve you. We missed you and look forward to your return. Stay safe and welcome back!

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.
