New York Community Bank

The copper statue of the Lady Liberty was presented by France as a centennial gift to the U.S. and a sign of friendship.

The Statue was completed in France in July 1884, reduced to 350 individual pieces and packed in 214 crates. She arrived in New York Harbor on June 17, 1885 and was re-assembled on her new pedestal in four months time.

At the dedication ceremony on October 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland declared: "We will not forget that Liberty has here made her home; nor shall her chosen altar be neglected."

Of the 243 branches that constitute our New York Community Bank franchise, only four branches operate directly under that name. Two of our “namesake” branches operate in Westchester County, and two operate in the Bronx—all in New York.

Three of our namesake branches feature in-store locations, and are open for business seven days a week. The fourth is a traditional branch with non-traditional banking hours, open six days and 41 hours per week.

All four of our namesake branches feature the convenience of 24-hour ATM banking — and a name that stands for service, convenience, strength, and stability.
