NEW YORK, May 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") is pleased to announce that, on May 28, 2021, its Board of Directors approved a dividend for the first quarter of 2021 of 4.75% (annualized).  The dollar amount of the dividend will be approximately $62.2 million.  The cash dividend will be distributed to member financial institutions on June 1, 2021.
