Grand Opening Of New Roosevelt Island Amalgamated Bank Branch Thursday, October 1 At 10: AM
I received the following announcement regarding Roosevelt Island's new Amalgamated Bank Branch Grand Opening Ceremonies on Thursday October 1.
Hello. Please include in your Roosevelt Islander’s calendar of events the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting ceremonies at Amalgamated Bank’s first branch on Roosevelt Island. Located at 619 Main Street, Amalgamated’s program on Thursday, October 1 will begin at 10 AM.Let's hope that Amalgamated Bank succeeds unlike the previous bank branches that have opened and closed on Roosevelt Island.
Special invited guests will include: R.I.O.C. President and CEO Stephen Shane, New York City Department of Finance Commissioner David M. Frankel, Manhattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer, New York State Assembly Member Micah Z. Kellner and Amalgamated Bank’s President and CEO Derrick D. Cephas.
Special Guest will be Principal Mandana Beckman, teachers and students as well as parents from P.S./I.S. 217. In mid October, Roosevelt Island’s elementary and middle school students will take part in Amalgamated’s Children and Tween Green Savings Program. The children will open savings accounts at the Bank and with help from their teachers, classmates and parents will start to get into the habit of savings money. They also gain skills about how to make choices on spending or saving their money.
RIOC sends the following parking advisory regarding the event:
Please be advised there will be no parking from 591 Main Street to 625 Main Street between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. due to the Grand Opening of the Amalgamated Bank.
Your cooperation during this time is greatly appreciated.

Only on Roosevelt Island do bank branches have grand openings. Amazing. I wish Starbucks did that when they opened. But they just opened without fanfare.
I think it's AWESOME that Amagamated Bank took over the vacated lease of the old bank. They have the support and resources to last here on the island and their rates are better. Welcome to R.I. Amalgamated!
