- ConnectOne Bancorp, Inc. operates as the bank holding company for ConnectOne Bank, providing a comprehensive range of commercial banking products and services primarily targeting small and mid-sized businesses, local professionals, and individual customers in the New York metropolitan area and South Florida. Its main offerings include personal and business checking accounts; money market, time, and savings accounts; credit cards; wire transfers; safe deposit boxes; and automated teller services. The company also delivers internet, mobile, and telephone banking services, alongside retirement accounts and advanced cash management solutions such as treasury direct, automated clearing house, remote deposit capture, and digital invoicing for business clients.

Additionally, the company offers wealth management and brokerage services, focusing on investment advice, financial planning, and brokerage execution.
Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, ConnectOne Bancorp, Inc. has expanded through organic growth and strategic acquisitions to strengthen its market presence. The most significant recent change is the completion in June 2025 of its merger with The First of Long Island Corporation, parent of The First National Bank of Long Island. This $284 million merger expanded ConnectOne’s total assets to approximately $14 billion, total deposits and loans each to $11 billion, and enlarged its retail banking footprint to over 60 branches spanning New York, New Jersey, and Southeast Florida. This strategic acquisition reinforces ConnectOne’s middle-market banking focus and enhances its operational scale and client service capabilities. The combined operations now leverage a broader network and enhanced product offerings under the unified ConnectOne brand.
ConnectOne Bancorp emphasizes personalized service and customer-centric growth, delivering specialized banking solutions tailored to the needs of small businesses, independent schools, non-profits, medical practices, real estate professionals, and individuals. The company differentiates itself through a comprehensive suite of commercial card services, including credit and purchasing card programs, designed to simplify procurement and improve expense management for business clients. ConnectOne continues to innovate and expand, positioning itself as a strategic financial partner with a strong focus on operational efficiency, profitability, and customer relationship management within its core geographic markets in the greater New York metropolitan area and South Florida. The bank operates as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq under the ticker CNOB.
