ConnectOne Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNOB) is a bank holding company that operates ConnectOne Bank, a commercial bank serving small and mid-sized businesses, local professionals, and individuals across the United States. The company provides a full suite of retail and commercial banking products, including checking, savings, money market, and time deposit accounts, along with credit cards, wire transfers, safe deposit boxes, and digital and mobile banking services. Its treasury management offerings for businesses include ACH origination, remote deposit capture, and digital invoicing, supporting a relationship-based commercial banking model typical of U.S. regional banks.
On the lending side, ConnectOne originates consumer and commercial loans such as lines of credit, commercial and residential mortgages, home equity and bridge loans, and personal loans, with commercial credit generally secured by business assets, real estate, or marketable securities. Its real estate loan portfolio focuses on first-lien loans on completed commercial and multifamily properties, as well as 1-4 family residential and cooperative properties. The company was incorporated in 1982, is headquartered in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and adopted its current name in July 2014 after operating as Center Bancorp, Inc. As a regional bank, CNOB competes primarily in the deposit-rich, business-lending segments of its footprint, where local market knowledge and relationship banking are key competitive differentiators.
