At the Bank
The Importance of Dependability
At the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, we recognize our dependability helps drive the value of membership. Whether it be the daily availability of our funding, the broad accessibility of our housing programs or the continued solid performance of our franchise, we are focused on positioning ourselves to be a reliable partner for our members. This extends to our quarterly dividend, as well. We believe that a consistent quarterly dividend enhances the value of membership. In August, we paid a 5.50 percent dividend for the second quarter of 2017 following a 5.00 percent dividend for the first quarter of the year. With these two dividend payments through the first six months of the year, we have returned more than $160 million through dividends to our members a strong return for your investment in our cooperative.
Engaging Our Membership
We also recognize the importance of engaging our members to ensure you are getting the most value out of your Home Loan Bank. Our team constantly engages members through office visits, workshops and hosting educational sessions at our headquarters. We are also very active in industry events, which provide excellent opportunities for engagement. To that end, we are honored to be participating and speaking at three industry events this month: the NJBankers Senior Management Conference in Atlantic City from September 13th to the 15th; the IBANYS Annual Convention in Niagara Falls from September 25th to the 27th; and the New Jersey Credit Union Leagues Drive Profit and Improve Engagement at the Branch workshop in Iselin on September 13th. Our team looks forward to meeting with members at these events to discuss the business landscape and opportunities for growth.
Sincerely,
José R. González
President and Chief Executive Officer
