1Link Quick Tip #1
Processing advance transactions through 1Link is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Step 1: Log-on using your first Password

Step 3: Complete the transaction by clicking the "Commit" button and enter your third Password (Signing).
1Link Quick Tip #2
Your Signing Password, also referred to as your PIN code (personal identification number used by Users with transactional permissions) expires every year and must be changed.
On every yearly anniversary (when you first began using 1Link for transactional purposes), an encryption key message automatically appears when you first log-on, prompting you to change your Signing Password. However, sometimes Users inadvertently bypass this message and their User status becomes inactive. If you receive an error alert noting that your status is inactive, contact the 1Link Help Desk at (800) 546-5101 or e-mail 1linkhelpdesk@fhlbny.com to reactivate your User status.
