mechanics.bank – A Safer, Simpler Way to Bank Online
Starting Wednesday, July 9th, Mechanics Cooperative Bank is officially moving to a new home on the web: mechanics.bank. This change is about more than just a shorter URL – it’s an upgrade to your online security, your website experience, and reflects the strength of our brand.
That’s not all! We’re also launching a brand new website that day! It’s faster, mobile friendly, and designed to meet the latest accessibility standards while maintaining a cleaner and simplified layout.
Why We’re Making the Move
We’ve always priortized security and local service – and this change brings both into the future. Switching to mechanics.bank eliminates the hyphen in our URL and adds industry-level protections that only verified banks can access. It’s also a fresh start! A shorter, cleaner URL and a faster, more modern website to match the way you bank.
What is .Bank?
The .Bank domain is only available to verified, regulated financial institutions. It comes with advanced security requirements that make it harder for scammers to impersonate us online. When you visit mechanics.bank or get an email ending in @mechanics.bank, you can trust that it’s really us – and that your info is protected.
What’s Changing on July 9th?
On July 9th, our website will switch from Mechanics-Coop.com to mechanics.bank – with automatic redirects in place for your convenience. In addition, our employee email addresses will update to the @mechanics.bank domain.
Also launching on July 9th is our new website – It’s cleaner, mobile-friendly, and designed to meet the latest accessibility standards.
Please note there are no changes to our Internet Banking/Mobile Banking platforms.
What You Need to Know
You won’t need to take any action. Your logins, accounts, and mobile app access all stay the same. We’re updating our website and email for security and ease, and making sure our digital presence reflects the quality of service we offer in person. We’re still Mechanics Cooperative Bank, your trusted local banking partner since 1877!
We’ll be posting on social media and sending email communications prior to launch day to keep you informed.
