Valley National Bancorp has completed its $500 million offering of 6.219% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2036. This capital raise, which follows strong Q1 2026 financial results, is significant as it provides approximately $200 million in net new capital after refinancing $300 million of existing 3.00% subordinated notes due 2031.
