FAQs

New York Community Bancorp, Inc. is the holding company for New York Community Bank, a New York State-chartered savings bank with over 235 locations serving Metro New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Florida, and Arizona.

New York Community Bank was established as Queens County Savings Bank on April 14, 1859 by four prominent residents of the town of Flushing, and grew at a modest pace to 14 branches as of the end of 1999. On December 15, 2000, the Bank's name was changed to New York Community Bank to better reflect the expansion of the franchise beyond Queens County--the result of merger transactions and, to a far lesser extent, de novo growth. Today the Bank has 128 branches serving customers in New York; 41 in New Jersey; 28 in Ohio; 26 in Florida; and 14 in Arizona.

With assets of $63.1 billion and deposits of $41.2 billion at June 30, 2022, New York Community Bank is the largest thrift in the United States. The Community Bank operates through five divisional banks in New York, one divisional bank in New Jersey, one in Ohio, and one in Florida and Arizona:
