1Link® Migration: Phase I – Interim Access Portal

The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY) is developing an all-new member portal to access 1Link®. The migration to this new portal will happen in phases, and phase I of this transition is set to roll out in early January 2020.

As part of this transition, 1Link users will be able to access an interim portal called 1Link-IPR in order to utilize certain 1Link features. The current 1Link functionality scoped into the initial migration—which will require access through 1Link-IPR—will include reporting, current/prior day Overnight Investment Account balances, and supporting details.

The 1Link-IPR portal will be accessible via a new URL and will run in parallel with the current 1Link portal. 1Link-IPR is compatible with Windows 10 (as Windows 7 is approaching end-of-life) and will provide all the features for reporting and balance/details you are familiar with through your current access.

Until all phases of the 1Link migration are complete, all transaction activity, such as wires and advance processing, must still be accessed and executed using the current 1Link portal.

As always, the FHLBNY is committed to ensuring that its systems provide benefit to your institution in a safe and secure manner. To prepare for the migration, we invite you to view our updated 1Link System Requirements guide which outlines the system needs for the interim 1Link-IPR portal.
