NEW YORK—Apple Bank has announced that Ukrainian nationals who have recently arrived in the New York City area are now eligible to open an account with the bank by visiting any of its 82 branch locations.
“This provides them with access to the fundamental banking services needed to pay bills, make payments, withdraw money and establish payroll direct deposit,” Apple Bank stated. “For many Ukrainian refugees arriving in the United States, accessing basic financial services often comes with considerable difficulties.”
Apple Bank added in a statement that it recognizes the importance of helping people and families rebuild their lives by providing them with the critical financial solutions needed to do so,” the bank stated in a release.
“Apple Bank is pleased to join other local organizations such as non-sectarian lender Hebrew Free Loan Society (HFLS) in helping Ukrainian Nationals with their financial needs,” the bank said. “HFLS provides interest-free loans to low- and moderate-income New Yorkers facing financial challenges, and Apple Bank hopes that Ukrainian Nationals who take advantage of the services offered by HFLS and/or Apple Bank will benefit in strengthening their financial health.”
Helping ‘Ease the Transition’
The bank’s CEO, Steve C. Bush, added, “We’re proud of our local community involvement, delivering services that are essential for our customers to be able to control their finances and access greater opportunities. Amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, we are committed to helping ease the transition for Ukrainian nationals moving to New York and are grateful for Hebrew Free Loan Society’s partnership.”
