History

edit

NYCB was founded on April 14, 1859, in Flushing, Queens, as Queens County Savings Bank,[3] and changed its name on December 15, 2000, to New York Community Bank to better reflect its market area beyond Queens.

In 1993, the company became a public company via an initial public offering.[3]

NYCB underwent multiple acquisitions in the 2000s, acquiring Haven Bancorp for $196 million in 2000,[7] Richmond County Financial in an $802 million transaction in 2001,[8] asset manager Peter B. Cannell & Co. in 2002,[9] Roslyn Bancorp in a $1.6 billion transaction in 2003,[10] Long Island Financial in a $70 million transaction in 2005,[11] Atlantic Bank of New York from the National Bank of Greece for $400 million in 2006,[12] 11 branches in New York City from Doral Financial Corporation in March 2007,[13] Penn Federal Savings Bank for $262 million in April 2007 (adding branches in East Central and North East New Jersey),[14] and Synergy Bank of Cranford, New Jersey, for $168 million in stock in October 2007. In September 2009, NYCB re-branded the Synergy branches to Garden State Community Bank.[15]

In December 2009, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation seized AmTrust, a bank headquartered in Cleveland, OH with 66 branches and $13 billion in assets in Ohio, Florida and Arizona.[16] NYCB acquired Amtrust, which expanded NYCB's branch footprint outside of the New York metropolitan area for the first time.[17] In 2017, the bank sold the mortgage business acquired from the purchase of AmTrust at a $90 million profit.[18]

In March 2010, Desert Hills Bank of Phoenix, Arizona, with $496 million in assets, was seized by the FDIC and acquired by NYCB.[19][20]

In June 2012, NYCB acquired the assets of Aurora Bank from Lehman Brothers.[21]

On October 29, 2015, the bank announced an agreement to merge with Astoria Bank, but the proposed merger was terminated in December 2016 after failing to win regulatory approval.[22][23]

On November 4, 2016, Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment announced that the bank had acquired the naming rights to Nassau Coliseum; it was renamed "NYCB Live: Home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum", due to agreements requiring that "Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum" remain in the arena's name.[24] NYCB pulled out of its naming rights contract in late August 2020 due to uncertainty surrounding the property after a June 2020 closure and subsequent new leaseholder.[24]

In December 2020, President, CEO and Board member Joseph Ficalora announced his retirement. Thomas Cangemi, the company's Chief Financial Officer since 2005, became president and CEO.[25]

In December 2022, the bank acquired Flagstar Bank.[26][27]

On March 19, 2023, NYCB acquired $38.4 billion in assets from the liquidated Signature Bank in a $2.7 billion deal, with 40 Signature branches being converted to Flagstar locations.[28]

On February 6, 2024, the bond credit rating provider Moody's Investors Service downgraded NYCB's credit rating to junk status, attributed to its exposure in commercial real estate lending.[29] NYCB had reported a quarterly loss of $252 million one week prior.[30]

As a result of their acquisition of Flagstar bank in 2022 the company rebranded all of their branches to Flagstar on February 21, 2024.[4][5]

In February 2024, Alessandro DiNello, its executive chairman, was appointed president and CEO.[31] His tenure was brief. In March 2024 Joseph Otting was appointed a new CEO after NYCB secured $1 billion equity injection from the investment firm run by former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Hudson Bay Capital and Reverence Capital, at 2$ a share[32] NYCB stock had previously plummeted in late February after the bank announced a $2.4 billion December quarter earnings hit.[33]

On March 11, 2024 NYCB announced the plans to submit one-for-three reverse stock split of its common stock to shareholders.[34]
