Under the Federal Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), the Federal Reserve Board (Board) evaluates our record of helping to meet the credit needs of this community consistent with safe and sound operations. The Board also takes this record into account when deciding on certain applications submitted by us.

Your involvement is encouraged.

You are entitled to certain information about our operations and our performance under the CRA, including, for example, information about our branches, such as their location and services provided at them; the public section of our most recent CRA Performance Evaluation, prepared by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Reserve Bank); and comments received from the public relating to our performance in helping to meet community credit needs, as well as our responses to those comments. You may review this information today.

At least 30 days before the beginning of each quarter, the Federal Reserve System publishes a list of the banks that are scheduled for CRA examination by the Reserve Bank in that quarter. This list is available from the Officer in Charge of Supervision, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 33 Liberty Street, New York, New York 10045. You may send written comments about our performance in helping to meet community credit needs to Doug L. Kennedy, President and CEO, P.O. Box 700, Bedminster, New Jersey 07921 and Officer in Charge of Supervision, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 33 Liberty Street, New York, New York 10045. Your letter, together with any response by us, will be considered by the Federal Reserve System in evaluating our CRA performance and may be made public.

You may ask to look at any comments received by the Reserve Bank. You may also request from the Reserve Bank an announcement of our applications covered by the CRA filed with the Reserve Bank. We are an affiliate of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation, a bank holding company. You may request from an Officer in Charge of Supervision, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 33 Liberty Street, New York, New York 10045 an announcement of applications covered by the CRA filed by bank holding companies.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

The HMDA data about our residential mortgage lending are available online for review. The data show geographic distribution of loans and applications; ethnicity, race, sex, age, and income of applicants and borrowers; and information about loan approvals and denials. HMDA data for many other financial institutions are also available online.

For more information, visit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Web site at www.consumerfinance.gov/hmda

If you apply for a consumer loan or mortgage, your email, voicemail, and mailbox may become inundated with credit offers from other companies.

It’s not Peapack-Gladstone Bank who is selling or sharing your information, but rather the credit bureaus, and there is a way that you can opt-out of receiving these offers. 

The unsolicited calls, emails, and letters from other creditors are often called “prescreened” or “pre-approved” offers of credit. They are based on information in your credit report that suggests you meet criteria set by the creditor making the offer. Credit bureaus and other consumer reporting companies sell lists of consumers who meet the criteria to insurance companies, lenders, and other creditors.

Here’s how to stop receiving these offers:

Call 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688) or visit optoutprescreen.com. When you call this toll-free number or visit the website, you will be asked to provide certain personal information, including your home telephone number, name, Social Security number, and date of birth. The information you provide is confidential and will be used only to process your request to opt out. Don’t enter any personal information until you have checked for indicators that the site is secure – a lock icon on your browser or a web address that begins https.

Opting out of prescreened offers does not affect your ability to apply for credit or to get it. Your opt out request will be processed within five days, but it may take up to 60 days before the prescreened offers stop coming. If you have a joint mortgage, both parties need to opt out to stop the prescreened offers. If or when you want to opt back in, use the same telephone number or website.

Put your phone number on the federal government’s National Do Not Call Registry to reduce the telemarketing calls you get at home. To register your phone number or to get information about the registry, visit donotcall.gov or call 1-888-382-1222 from the phone number you want to register. You will get fewer telemarketing calls within 31 days of registering your number. Your number stays on the registry for five years, until it is disconnected, or until you take it off the registry.

Your Ability to Withdraw Funds

The Bank's policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available to you as quickly as possible according to the schedule described below. This is based on the type of deposit made and where it is made. This policy only applies to cash and check deposits made to your personal and business checking accounts.

You may not withdraw the funds in cash and the Bank may choose not to use the funds to pay checks you have written or other withdrawals or transfers you have authorized, until the funds are available according to the schedule.

Determining the Day of Deposit

For determining the availability of a deposit, every day is a business day except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays.

Teller deposits after 6:00 p.m. and Peapack-Gladstone Bank ATM deposits after 3:00 p.m. will be credited on the next business day. Funds mailed to the Bank are considered deposited on the day they are received by the Bank. Funds deposited to a night depository, lock box, or similar facility are considered deposited on the day on which the deposit is removed from such facility and is available for processing by the Bank.

Same-Day Availability

Funds from the following deposits are available on the business day of deposit:
Wire transfers;
Electronic deposits or credits, such as direct deposits; and
Transfers of funds between accounts by telephone request, at an ATM using the transfer feature, or through the Bank’s internet banking service.

Next-Day Availability

Funds from government checks (US Treasury, local and state) are available on the first business day after the day of deposit.

If the deposit is made in person to one of the Bank's tellers, funds from the following items are also available on the first business day after the day of deposit:
  • Cash
  • Cashier's checks, certified checks, and teller checks that are made payable to the account holder
  • Checks drawn on the Bank payable to the depositor
  • Federal Reserve Bank checks, Federal Home Loan Bank checks, and U.S. postal money orders that are payable to the depositor
If the deposit is not made in person to one of the Bank's tellers (for example, if the deposit is made through the mail or at a night depository), funds from these deposits will be available on the second business day after the day of deposit.


Other Checks

The Bank will make the first $10,000 from a deposit of other checks available on the first business day after the day of the deposit. The remaining funds will be available on the second business day after the day of the deposit.

Longer Delays

Availability may be delayed for longer periods under the following circumstances:
  • The Bank believes a check will not be paid.
  • Returned unpaid checks are re-deposited.
  • An account has been overdrawn six times or more in the last six months.
  • Emergencies, such as failure of communications or computer equipment.


Notice of Longer Delays

The Bank will notify affected clients if the Bank delays their ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons. The Bank will tell affected clients when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the seventh business day after the day of deposit.

Foreign Items

The Bank will make the funds from the deposit of a check or other item drawn on a bank located outside the United States, U.S. Virgin Islands, or Puerto Rico, or payable in foreign currency available when the funds have been collected.

New Account Rules

Special rules apply during the first 30 days after an account is opened. An account is not considered a new account if each customer on the account has had, within 30 calendar days before the account is established, another transaction account at the Bank for at least 30 calendar days. If the customer has had authorization only to sign on a corporate account and then opens a new consumer account, it is considered a new account for purposes of Regulation CC.

Funds from wire transfers and electronic direct deposits will be available on the day of deposit. Funds from cash deposits and the first $5,525 of a day's total deposits will be available on the first business day after the day of deposit if checks are payable to the depositor. The excess over $5,525 will be available on the fifth business day after the day of deposit. If the deposit of these checks is not made in person to one of the Bank's tellers, the first $5,525 will not be available until the second business day after the day of deposit.

Holds on Other Funds

If the Bank cashes a check or accepts for deposit a check drawn on another bank, the Bank may make funds immediately available but delay the availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds on deposit in any account the depositor has with the Bank. Held funds will be available according to the Bank's funds availability policy.

Choice Of Law

In compliance with the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) and implementing regulations (Regulation GG) issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the United States Department of Treasury, certain transactions are prohibited within your account. Our financial institution is required to notify our commercial customers of this prohibition.

“Unlawful Internet gambling” is defined in UIEGA as placing, receiving, or otherwise knowingly transmitting a bet or wager by any means which involves the use, at least in part, of the Internet where such bet or wager is unlawful under any applicable Federal or State law in the State or Tribal lands in which the bet or wager is initiated, received, or otherwise made.

As of June 1, 2010, Regulation GG prohibits restricted transactions in your account. “Restricted transactions” are defined in Regulation GG to be transactions in which funds are knowingly accepted by gambling businesses in connection with participation by others in unlawful Internet gambling. Restricted transactions are prohibited from being processed through this account or any account you hold with our institution. Restricted transactions generally include, but are not limited to, those in which credit, electronic fund transfers, checks, debit card or credit card transactions, or drafts are knowingly accepted by gambling businesses in connection with the participation by others in unlawful Internet gambling. Internet gambling will generally be considered to be unlawful unless verifiable authorization is obtained by an appropriate State or Tribal authority.

We may block or reject any restricted transactions or close any account we believe is in receipt of such transactions. If this doesn’t apply to your business, no action is required. Contact us for further details.

Visa adheres to the rule of law and seeks to protect the integrity of the Visa payment system. Although several U.S. states have legalized marijuana for medical or recreational use, marijuana nevertheless remains illegal under federal law. As such, transactions in the U.S. involving the purchase or trade of marijuana are not permitted on the Visa network, until such time as federal law allows.
