Valley Bank to acquire Bluevine
Building a stronger future for small business banking
Bluevine has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Valley National Bancorp. Together, we're looking ahead to more ways to help small businesses manage their money, access financial services, and grow with confidence.
A message from Bluevine
Recently, we announced that we have entered into an agreement to be acquired by Valley National Bancorp, the parent company of Valley National Bank.
Nothing changes for you today. This is a proud milestone in a journey we've shared with you. We've built the largest small business banking platform in the country, served more than 1 million small businesses, and delivered more than $17 billion in financing.
After closing the transaction with Valley, we will add the strength, stability, and personal relationships of a leading regional bank to the experience you already count on—and over time, we'll gain even more, like Valley's network of 220+ locations, Zelle, and additional credit products.
We're proud of what we've built together, and excited for what's next.
Thank you for trusting Bluevine with your business.

What this means for you
By combining Bluevine's digital-first technology and small business expertise with Valley National Bank's experience, resources, and broader banking capabilities, we see an opportunity to deliver even more value to the businesses we serve. Here's what you can expect:
The Bluevine experience you know and trust
Your Bluevine account and the tools you use to manage your business remain available as they are today. You can continue accessing your account, making payments, and managing your finances through Bluevine. There's nothing you need to do right now.
Continued focus on small businesses
Supporting small businesses has always been central to Bluevine's mission. This acquisition is intended to help us continue investing in the technology, products, and services that make it easier for business owners to manage their finances and pursue new opportunities.
More banking capabilities
Following the acquisition, we expect to explore additional services and features that could make managing your business finances even easier. These include Zelle, additional credit products, and access to Valley's network of more than 220 locations.
The strength and experience of an established bank
Valley brings nearly 100 years of banking experience and approximately $66 billion in assets, alongside broader banking capabilities and relationship-based service. Together, we see an opportunity to build on the financial tools and support Bluevine already provides.
More value, without the trade-offs
We know that competitive interest rates, fewer fees, and more value from your money are important reasons you chose Bluevine. They're important to us, too. As we bring together Bluevine's digital-first approach and Valley's broader capabilities, we'll continue prioritizing the value you've come to expect while looking for new ways to help your business get more from its bank.
Clear communication every step of the way
The acquisition is expected to close in January 2027, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. Until then, Bluevine and Valley will continue operating as separate companies. We'll share updates directly with customers well in advance of any changes that affect their accounts or services.
