A forward-thinking bank with a long history
NYCB’s roots date back to 1859 when we opened Queens County Savings Bank, the very first savings bank chartered by the state of New York. Since then, we’ve expanded to serve customers throughout the northeast and across the country.
We established My Banking Direct online to offer our customers the convenience of a direct banking experience and competitive rates. We believe this combination is well suited for today’s consumers—a modern online bank backed by the strength and experience of one of the oldest banks in the United States.
We’re still growing, too.
In late 2022, NYCB became the parent company of one of the largest regional banks in the country, Michigan-based Flagstar Bank, N.A. Then, in 2023, we assumed certain assets and liabilities of the former Signature Bank from the FDIC. Over the decades, we’ve developed a balanced business model to guide us through every economic climate.
The bottom line
My Banking Direct, an offering from one of the country’s largest regional banks, delivers competitive rates, a superb online customer experience, and connectivity to other banking solutions.
