## Who are Valley National Bancorp's competitors, and what are the alternatives?

Valley National Bancorp's 2025 10-K says it is the largest commercial bank headquartered in New Jersey and ranked 10th by deposits among 150 FDIC-insured institutions in the New York, Northern New Jersey and Long Island markets, and 1st there among those with less than $1 trillion of assets (June 30, 2025). By state it ranks 6th in New Jersey, 28th in New York, 18th in Florida, 22nd in Alabama and 67th in California. In the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro, FDIC data put JPMorgan Chase at 34.73% of deposits, Bank of America at 6.51% and TD Bank at 3.26%, with Valley at 1.36% and Flagstar close behind at 1.32%; Santander, which completed its Webster acquisition in 2026, M&T and Citizens each hold under 1%. In Florida, Valley holds 1.05% of Miami-area deposits through 13 offices, where Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo lead and BankUnited holds 6.00%. In Chicago, where its $247 million Providence purchase adds 14 branches, Chase and BMO hold 37.66% between them. The 10-K names credit unions, money market and mutual funds, mortgage companies, fintech companies and asset managers, and singles out fintech and direct-bank competitors offering digital alternatives without the burden of being a regulated depository; Ally, with 9.5 million customers, Santander's Openbank, with more than $10 billion of US deposits, and Chime are the clearest examples. Valley's answer is to buy one: it agreed to acquire Bluevine in September 2026.

## What does Valley say about its competition?

"Valley National Bank is the largest commercial bank headquartered in New Jersey, with its top markets located in northern and central New Jersey, the New York City boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, Long Island, Westchester County, New York, Florida and Alabama. Valley ranked 10th in competitive ranking and market share based on the deposits reported by 150 FDIC-insured financial institutions in the New York, Northern New Jersey and Long Island deposit markets as of June 30, 2025 and ranked 1st in this market among financial institutions below $1 trillion in assets. The FDIC also ranked Valley 6th, 28th, 18th, 22nd and 67th in the states of New Jersey, New York, Florida, Alabama and California, respectively, based on deposit market share as of June 30, 2025." ([Valley National Bancorp (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/714310/000071431026000017/vly-20251231.htm))

"While we believe our FDIC rankings reflect a solid foundation in our primary markets, the market for banking and bank-related services is highly competitive and we face substantial competition in all areas of our operations from a variety of bank and non-bank competitors, some of which are larger and may have more financial resources than Valley. Some of these competitors may be subject to fewer regulatory constraints, or may have greater resources, higher lending limits and stronger name recognition than Valley." ([Valley National Bancorp (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/714310/000071431026000017/vly-20251231.htm))

"Valley competes with other providers of financial services such as commercial and savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, money market and mutual funds, mortgage companies, fintech companies, title agencies, asset managers, insurance companies, and a large list of other local, regional and national institutions which offer financial services. ... Fintech and direct bank competitors provide innovative digital solutions to traditional retail banking services and products, and in some cases without the extensive burden associated with being a regulated depository institution. We work to meet these challenges by utilizing internal resources and external technology partners to continually enhance our online and mobile banking products." (2025 Form 10-K.)

In the New York metro, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, TD Bank, Citibank and Wells Fargo lead by deposits, and Flagstar, Santander (with Webster), M&T, Citizens, Dime and ConnectOne compete at a similar or smaller scale. In Florida, BankUnited, Seacoast and the national banks. Its 10-K adds credit unions, fintechs, direct banks and asset managers. ([FDIC BankFind Suite](https://banks.data.fdic.gov/bankfind-suite/SOD/marketShare?displayResults=&instType=&institutionType=banks&institutionTypeTimeSeries=&lastYear=2025&locations=msa&msa=New%20York-Newark-Jersey%20City,%20NY-NJ&pageNumber=1&reportType=depositMarketShare&resultLimit=25&searchPush=true&sortField=STNAME&sortOrder=ASC&totalsType=), [FDIC BankFind Suite](https://banks.data.fdic.gov/bankfind-suite/SOD/marketShare?displayResults=&instType=&institutionType=banks&institutionTypeTimeSeries=&lastYear=2025&locations=msa&msa=Miami-Fort%20Lauderdale-West%20Palm%20Beach,%20FL&pageNumber=1&reportType=depositMarketShare&resultLimit=25&searchPush=true&sortField=STNAME&sortOrder=ASC&totalsType=), [Valley National Bancorp (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/714310/000071431026000017/vly-20251231.htm))

### Is Valley the largest bank in New Jersey?

It is the largest commercial bank headquartered in New Jersey, per its 2025 10-K, but by deposit share it ranks 6th in the state and 10th in the wider New York, Northern New Jersey and Long Island market. ([Valley National Bancorp (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/714310/000071431026000017/vly-20251231.htm))

On this site's AI disclosure index Valley scores 76.6 and Flagstar 65.3. ([Valley National Bancorp (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/714310/000119312526141225/d56809ddef14a.htm), [FDIC BankFind Suite](https://banks.data.fdic.gov/bankfind-suite/SOD/marketShare?displayResults=&instType=&institutionType=banks&institutionTypeTimeSeries=&lastYear=2025&locations=msa&msa=New%20York-Newark-Jersey%20City,%20NY-NJ&pageNumber=1&reportType=depositMarketShare&resultLimit=25&searchPush=true&sortField=STNAME&sortOrder=ASC&totalsType=))
