Raceseng Testimonial
My name is Jarrett Seng, I'm the owner and founder of Raceseng, Inc. We're a small father-and-son startup business. We design and manufacture aftermarket performance products for a variety of European and Japanese sports cars. I'm a product designer by trade, my dad is a manufacturing engineer, and we brought both of our talents together and we formed a company called Raceseng that takes our personal heritage of racing together with our passions and that's what makes up the Raceseng brand.
So early on in our business we needed money to help grow the business. We were making all the parts by hand after hours. There was very tedious work to do and we weren't able to grow because of how much labor we had to put into every product that we made and shipped. I couldn't find anybody that would be willing to give two guys working out of their backyard any money to start or help the business. Somebody referenced New Tripoli Bank to me. I went in with a bunch of our parts and met with the commercial lender there, showed her what we did and told her our story. That led into now the bank financing four C&C machines for us and literally helping our little backyard two-car garage startup go to the space that we're in today. That led into now a 14-year relationship of working with New Tripoli Bank.
From one small business owner to another, New Tripoli Bank is there to help small business owners. The bank has helped me through every phase of a question that I've had, they're an email away, it's a completely different relationship when you're working with somebody local like New Tripoli Bank. They truly are a partner that you need to help grow a small business.
You have enough to keep track of in your daily life without having to worry about
being late on your electric bills or forgetting to mail an insurance payment.
Fortunately, you can set up one-time and recurring bill payments from the same
place you do all of your electronic banking with the New Tripoli Bank online banking tool.
To begin, sign into online banking and click on "pay my bills" to
open the payment center.
The next step is selecting the company you need to send payments to.
Click "add a company or person" to open a list of categories.
Clicking on these categories will bring up a list of companies
who our customers frequently receive bills from.
Alternatively, you can search for the company by name using the search bar.
If you still can't find it, you can manually enter the company's information
in the next window by clicking "enter the info for..." from the search results.
Once you've selected the company, enter their billing information.
For most companies, this includes your account number and the company's zip code.
You can also include a nickname for the payee to make it easier to identify them later.
If you're manually entering information for the company, you'll have to include more
details including the company name, address, and phone number, in addition to
the previously mentioned information.
You can also setup payments to a person by
selecting the "person" tab at the top of the page and then filling out the
information the same way you would for a company.
Once you've filled in the information, click "submit"
and that company or person will appear in the payment center.
To make a one-time payment, simply enter the amount you need
to send and a delivery date.
Then click the "send money" button to schedule the payment.
For monthly bills, you can set up automatic payments by clicking on AutoPay for the company or
person you need to schedule payments for.
This will bring up a window where you can enter the payment amount
and the date you'd like to start payments.
Select how often you'd like payments to go out from the drop-down list and how
long you'd like these payments to continue. You may also include a memo to
help you keep track of recurring payments and set up email notifications
to be notified when a payment is pending or ready to be sent.
Once you have everything completed, click "start sending payments." A green ON icon will appear
next to AutoPay once it's enabled. If you need to adjust your automatic
payments, click on "Change AutoPay Options" to bring up the auto pay window again.
If you want to cancel automatic payments, simply click "Stop AutoPay."
Once you have payments pending, they will appear on the right side of the payment
center, along with recently completed payments and reminders to help you keep
track of all your payments.
You can rest easy knowing your bills will always be
paid on time thanks to new Tripoli Bank online banking. Sign up to get started today!

History of New Tripoli Bank
Back in 1909, thirteen local residents including Phaon Bittner, the bank’s first President, saw a need for a bank to serve residents and businesses. They stepped up, took action, and formed a local bank. After much hard work, the New Tripoli National Bank opened its doors on March 1st, 1910, in a small building across the street from our Main Office. The building that I'm in right now, this is our original branch office. On its first day in business, the Bank accepted $26,231 in deposits and made two loans totaling $331. That was big money in those days, but it also proved that the original founders were right.
And from that modest beginning, here we are!
From the local residents that formed the bank, through the Depression, many recessions, two World Wars and too many other wars and conflicts, industry regulation and overregulation, the changing landscape of the Lehigh Valley and, most recently, the Coronavirus, New Tripoli Bank has been here taking care of our customers and our community. We are proud that so many people have trusted us to be their financial partner.
The Lehigh Valley is a great area, with people who step up each day to both keep it that way and make it even better, and we take our role in helping them seriously. In addition to the countless volunteer hours our employees serve, the Bank also gives back; to our schools through their foundations, EMS services, fire departments, historical societies, food banks, youth activities, and more. In fact, over the past several years, New Tripoli Bank has donated over $1 million to these worthy causes to help keep our communities strong.
We have an excellent team here at New Tripoli Bank. Our board – including outside members Larry Oswald, Sylvia Betz-Gardner, Sally Smith, Greg Snyder, and Debra Hunsicker, as well as Chairman Emeritus Willard Snyder – are an excellent combination of people and skills, providing stellar leadership and support. Our senior management team – including Michele Hunsicker, Ann Bavaria, and Stephanie Barton – are all exceptional leaders and, as important, exceptional people. Our employees across the board are top-notch.
And we would not be here today without our Board Chair, President and CEO, Dave Hunsicker. Dave has been with the Bank for 48 years, and has been President and CEO since 1995. You will never find a better community banker and leader anywhere. So again, on behalf of all of us at New Tripoli Bank, thank you.

Macungies Posey Patch
My name is Connie Sholl and this is Macungie's Posey Patch located in Macungie, Pennsylvania. We are a full-service flower shop. We deliver throughout the Lehigh Valley for birthdays, weddings, funerals, special occasions of any kind. We pride ourselves in making sure every customer's experience with us is a positive one. I did not grow up in the floral industry; I started part-time at a flower shop in 2000. I was a partner in an interior design firm and looked at this as a second career. Many of the principles of floral ranging were very close to the principle of interior design: color, function, form. We're very proud of all the work we do. When Coordinated Health hosted the group Boston at Musikfest, we actually created a flower arrangement that was a replica of the cover of one of their albums. We've also done work for the St. Luke's Auxiliary Ball and we also have done a huge heart that was nothing but roses for someone to make a special proposal. New Tripoli Bank has worked with us on every problem or situation with a human touch. During the pandemic especially, when we weren't delivering flowers, New Tripoli Bank were instrumental in helping us work through the incredibly chaotic period of the Paycheck Protection Program. Bob Kern worked with us on a daily basis and we were approved for the loan through New Tripoli Bank, which we appreciated greatly. We worked with many other banks throughout the Lehigh Valley who got sold to larger banks and became much more impersonal. We do appreciate working with New Tripoli Bank because you can speak to a human that actually lives and works in the Lehigh Valley and can understand your problems and the area itself.
Hello, my name is Amir Ammary. I'm the owner of A. A. Welding and Fabrication, LLC. We specialize in welding, concrete and excavation. I've been a customer of New Tripoli Bank for about 15 years and also been a commercial customer of theirs for about seven years. What we specialize in is welding — that can be anywhere between residential, with railings and arches — and then we get in the commercial line where we work on heavy equipment — shoring, I-beam work, structural work — and then going into industrial stuff, into conveyors, and then we get in the concrete, where we do a lot of flat work, street work, storm drain work, and then the excavation — just obviously digging out for trenching, basements and land clearing. My family has been dealing with New Tripoli Bank for at least 10 years before I started an account there. Even though I looked into other banking, it's just having the simple connection to be able to call John Hemak on the fly and say, "Hey, I need such-and-such," and he's going, "Okay, I will look into it," and it comes back within a day or two. Have an answer, have a plan. The ease of actually having the lender really guide me through the steps. New Tripoli is just easy for me. It's really nice to have a small bank versus a big bank. They kind of you know when you walk in. You're able to be acknowledged by your first name versus just a number on the board.

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.
