As of December 1, 2022, New York Community Bank and Flagstar Bank joined together to become one bank. Together, we will be able to bring you even more of the tailored solutions you need to succeed, all with a shared customer-first, community-focused approach.
Together we're growing to serve you even better!
You’ll still conduct your banking as usual.
Banking in person, over the phone and online using NYCB Mobile and NYCB Online will not change. Continue to use your same NYCB accounts and services. This includes checks, credit and debit cards, and if you maintain an investment account or insurance contract with NYCB's contracted third-party partner, LPL Financial, this change has no effect on your investment accounts or insurance contracts.1
Expect the same great customer service you’ve always received and deserve.
We’ll always put you first and keep providing you with our unparalleled customer service.

Like NYCB, Flagstar is first and foremost a community banking organization, with a history of helping individuals, families, and businesses flourish. Together, we can provide even more financial opportunities for the customers and businesses we serve.
Based in Michigan, Flagstar Bank was started in 1987 and has grown to operate 158 branches in Michigan, Indiana, California, Wisconsin, and Ohio. Flagstar is known for their custom, tailor-made financial solutions for customers and businesses alike.
NYCB and Flagstar are strong strategic partners with a similar culture, mission, and approach to service; complementary offerings; a shared commitment to community; and no geographic overlap.
- The merger will accelerate NYCB’s expansion by providing customers access to a larger branch and ATM network, expanded resources, deepened industry knowledge, and diverse skill sets.
- We believe that together, with the capabilities and scale of an $85 billion+ bank, we are better positioned to deliver a stronger, more personalized financial experience to our customers, augmented by our technology, while delivering long-term shareholder value. Like NYCB, Flagstar is an award-winning bank and recipient of the America’s Best Banks 2021 award by Forbes.
There is nothing you need to do at this time. Please continue to use your same NYCB accounts and services, including ATMs, credit cards, debit cards, checks, and online and mobile banking platforms. If you maintain an investment account or insurance contract with LPL Financial, this change has no effect on your investment accounts or insurance contracts.1
Customers will have access to an expanded array of benefits and financial expertise once we combine our systems. We look forward to sharing more on those benefits soon. In the meantime, you can now use Allpoint, Pesto! and Flagstar ATM fee-free. Which means fee-free access to more than 56,000 ATMs worldwide!2
