Description: VLY Valley National Bancorp

Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ: VLY) is the holding company for Valley National Bank, a regional bank founded in 1927 and headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey. The company operates through three segments: Consumer Banking, Commercial Banking, and Treasury and Corporate, offering a full suite of deposit products (non-interest bearing, savings, NOW, money market, and time deposits) and lending services spanning commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate, construction, residential mortgages, home equity, and consumer/auto loans.

Beyond traditional banking, Valley provides wealth management, trust and estate services, brokerage, insurance agency, equipment leasing, and private banking, along with niche offerings such as homeowners association banking, cannabis-related business banking, and venture banking. As a mid-cap U.S. regional bank, Valleys business model is centered on relationship-based lending and deposit gathering in its core Northeast markets, where commercial real estate exposure is typically a meaningful driver of loan portfolio performance for the regional banking sector.
