Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE: WAL) is a Phoenix-based bank holding company serving commercial and consumer clients primarily in the Southwestern United States. Its business model focuses on regional commercial banking, treasury management, and specialized lending for technology companies and mortgage warehouse operations.
