Since 1863, Apple Bank has been a stable banking presence in New York City and its surrounding communities. We seek to put the best interests of our customers first and to manage our company prudently and responsibly.
Commitment
Our customers’ trust, loyalty and support is intrinsic to our success and is never taken for granted. We work to provide high quality products, services, and technology suited to the diverse needs of our customers. We deliver our services so customers can bank their way – at a branch, by phone or 24/7 on a desktop or mobile device. We continue to develop and enhance our products and technology to give our customers the resources they need to achieve their financial goals, while protecting the security and privacy of their account information.
We are dedicated to neighborhood banking in our communities, and our bankers are here to help. They work and live locally, so they face the same challenges and opportunities as our customers and understand their priorities. Apple Bank’s branch network of 84 locations extends from East Hampton to East Harlem, from Staten Island to upper Westchester and Rockland counties and into New Jersey. We are excited to have opened two new locations in Westchester and Rockland Counties in 2021, another in Astoria, Queens in 2022, and two in New Jersey in 2022. Additionally, we are continuing to renovate and upgrade our facilities, including the replacement of our entire network of ATMs, and expanding our online and mobile services for individuals and businesses.
Strength
Apple Bank marks its 31st consecutive year of uninterrupted profitability in 2022. Our prudent financial and risk management has enabled the Bank to remain solidly profitable, with strong credit quality and low levels of non-performing loans, despite the challenges arising from the pandemic. Our balance sheet is composed of high-quality loans and securities, and our capital ratios are in excess of all regulatory requirements. As the largest state-chartered savings bank in New York, we have $16.8 billion in assets as of December 31, 2022 and $15.0 billion in deposits.
Community
We have a direct interest in contributing to the quality of life in the neighborhoods we serve. We give back to our communities in ways that foster economic development and renewal. We provide sponsorships and donations to many local and regional organizations. We partner with community organizations on food drives, financial literacy, education and multicultural programs. Many of our employees volunteer their time and talent in the communities in which they live and work.
Focused on the Future
After 160 years in business, we are ready to meet both the challenges and the opportunities to come. As the banking business becomes more centralized and de-personalized, we look forward to continuing in our own tradition of customer service and personal banking.
