1Link®
Overview
1Link® is the FHLBNY’s secure internet banking system designed just for members. Since its inception, 1Link® has proved to be an efficient, alternate channel for accessing information and reports, and performing everyday transactions online.
The system platform is convenient and user-friendly, offering the latest technology, added flexibility, real-time postings for all reporting functions, and enhanced transaction processing functionality!
Upon the receipt of your RSA™ Security Device, you must establish a PIN in 1Link® to transact wires using the instructions in the referenced User Guide below*. (Please note the below process is for creating a new wire transaction. The process for setting a new PIN will follow the same general steps (5-9) if you approve a wire instead of create one.)
Did you know you can transact with the FHLBNY remotely via 1Link®?
Remote access can come in handy when you’re on the go. Through 1Link®, your institution’s authorized users have the ability to obtain account balances and perform business transactions (Advances, Wire Transfers and Book Wires) from alternate worksites.
Please note: For business transactions, the user will need their Security Device in their possession. The alternate worksite computer must meet the minimum system requirements to access 1Link®. Should you encounter any issues when attempting to access 1Link®, contact the 1Link® Helpdesk at (800) 546-5101.
