What ConnectOne Bank does

ConnectOne Bank, operating through holding company ConnectOne Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNOB), is a regional commercial bank founded in 2005 by Frank Sorrentino III and headquartered in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. The bank serves Northern New Jersey, the New York Metropolitan area, and South Florida with deposit products (checking, savings, money market, CDs), lending products (mortgages, commercial loans, SBA lending, personal and auto loans), treasury management services, and digital banking channels including iOS/Android mobile apps and an online account opening platform. It targets small businesses, commercial and real estate clients, healthcare practices, law firms, non-profit organizations, independent schools, real estate investors and landlords, and individual consumers through relationship-based banking with local decision-making authority and industry-specific solutions.

ConnectOne's technology stack centers on digital banking infrastructure including mobile apps, online banking, Remote Deposit Capture, Positive Pay fraud protection, ZEscrow, and an internally built data lake supporting analytics and lending decisions. The bank extends beyond standard FDIC limits through Extended FDIC Coverage and operates wholly-owned subsidiary BoeFly, Inc. as an online lending marketplace for commercial and SBA lending. Payment integrations include Zelle, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. The 2025 merger with The First of Long Island Corporation materially scaled the franchise to approximately $14 billion in total assets and $11 billion in deposits at close, with assets approaching $15 billion by Q1 2026.

ConnectOne generates revenue primarily through net interest income on its loan portfolio and securities (FY2025 net income $74.4M, up from $67.8M in FY2024) plus non-interest income from service charges, treasury management fees, wire/ACH fees, and its non-profit affinity program. Q1 2026 results showed $116.64M in revenue (beating $115.46M consensus), NIM of 3.39% (+12 bps), approximately 10% annualized loan growth, NPAs at 0.29% of total assets, and an 8.3% dividend increase to $0.195 per share. The bank distributes through a multi-channel model combining physical branches, relationship managers, industry specialists, treasury management consultants, and self-service digital channels, with thought-leadership marketing via Forbes CEO contributions and the 'Building the Blueprint' podcast.
