Reporting entity: |
In Canada, VersaBank (the “Bank”) operates as a Schedule I bank under the Bank Act (Canada) and is regulated by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (“OSFI”). Following its acquisition of Stearns Bank Holdingford N.A. and renaming it VersaBank USA N.A. (“VersaBank USA”), on August 30, 2024, in the United States, the Bank, through its wholly owned subsidiary, VersaBank USA, holds a national Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) charter and is regulated by the OCC. The Bank, whose shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, provides primarily commercial lending and banking services to select niche markets in Canada and the United States, as well as cybersecurity services through the operations of its wholly owned subsidiary DRT Cyber Inc., (“DRTC”). The Bank is incorporated and domiciled in Canada, and maintains its registered office at Suite 2002, 140 Fullarton Street, London, Ontario, Canada, N6A 5P2.
2. |
Basis of preparation: |
a) Statement of compliance:
These interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2024.
The interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025, and 2024 were approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on September 2, 2025.
b) Basis of measurement:
These interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except securities (note 4), the investment in Canada Stablecorp Inc. (note 6) and derivative instruments (note 12), which are measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
c) Functional and presentation currency:
These interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Bank’s functional currency. Functional currency is also determined for each of the Bank’s subsidiaries, and items included in the interim financial statements of the subsidiaries are measured using their functional currency.
d) Use of estimates and judgements:
In preparing these interim Consolidated Financial Statements, management has exercised judgement and developed estimates in applying accounting policies and generating reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas where judgement was applied include assessing significant changes in credit risk on credit assets and in the selection of relevant forward-looking information in assessing the Bank’s allowance for expected credit losses on its credit assets as described in note 5 – Credit assets. Estimates are applied in the determination of the allowance for expected credit losses on credit assets, the fair value of stock options granted as described in note 9, the fair value of derivatives, the fair value of the investment in Canada Stablecorp Inc. as described in note 6, the impairment test applied to intangible assets and goodwill, the measurement of deferred income taxes and the revaluation of property and equipment . It is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that actual results may vary from those expected in the development of these estimates. This could result in material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and/or liabilities affected in the future.
Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are applied prospectively once they are known.
3. |
Material Accounting Policy Information and future accounting changes: |
The accounting policies applied by the Bank in these interim Consolidated Financial Statements are the same as those applied by the Bank as at and for the year ended October 31, 2024, and are detailed in note 3 of the Bank’s 2024 audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

As at July 31, 2025, the Bank held securities totaling $
5. | Credit assets, net of allowance for credit losses: |
VersaBank organizes its Credit Asset portfolios into the following two broad asset categories: Receivable Purchase Program (previously referred to as “Receivable Purchase Program/Point-of-Sale Loans & Leases” or “Point-of-Sale Loans & Leases”) and Multi-Family Residential Loans and Other (the amalgamation of what was previously referred to as “Commercial Real Estate Mortgages”, “Commercial Real Estate Loans”, and “Public Sector and Other Financing”). These categories have been established in VersaBank’s proprietary, internally developed asset management system and have been designed to catalogue individual lending assets as a function primarily of their key risk drivers, the nature of the underlying collateral, and the applicable market segment.
The Receivable Purchase Program (“RPP”) category is composed of investments in the expected cash flow streams derived primarily from consumer and small business loans and leases that are originated and owned throughout their lifetime by VersaBank’s RPP partners.
The Multi-Family Residential Loans and Other (“MROL”) category is composed of two sub-segments: Multi-Family Residential Loans, which consists of CMHC-insured (zero-risk weighted) loans and uninsured loans to real estate developers to finance the construction phase of development of multi-family, student residence, condominium and retirement home properties, as well as term and bridge loans to real estate developers secured by completed aforementioned properties and units. It also includes the public sector and infrastructure loans and leases. The majority of these loans are business-to-business loans with the underlying credit risk exposure being primarily residential in nature given that the vast majority of the loans are related to properties that are designated primarily for residential use. The portfolio benefits from diversity in its underlying security in the form of a broad range of such collateral properties.

The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of its financial assets. The Bank holds security against the majority of its credit assets in the form of mortgage interests over property, other registered securities over assets, guarantees and/or cash reserves (holdbacks) related to receivables purchased included in the RPP Financing portfolio (see note 8).
Allowance for credit losses
The Bank must maintain an allowance for expected credit losses that are adequate, in management’s opinion, to absorb all credit related losses in the Bank’s lending and treasury portfolios. The expected credit loss methodology requires recognition of credit losses based on 12 months of expected losses for performing credit assets which is reflected in the Bank’s Stage 1 grouping. The Bank recognizes lifetime expected losses on credit assets that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since its origination, which is reflected in the Bank’s Stage 2 grouping. Impaired credit assets require recognition of lifetime losses and are reflected in Stage 3 grouping.
Forward-looking Information
The Bank has sourced credit risk modeling systems and forecast macroeconomic scenario data from Moody’s Analytics, a third-party service provider for the purpose of computing forward-looking credit risk parameters under multiple macroeconomic scenarios that consider both market-wide and idiosyncratic factors and influences. The macroeconomic indicator data utilized by the Bank for the purpose of sensitizing probability of default and loss given default term structure data to forward economic conditions include, but are not limited to: real GDP, the national unemployment rate, long term interest rates, the consumer price index, the S&P/TSX Index and the price of oil. These specific macroeconomic indicators were selected in an attempt to ensure that the spectrum of fundamental macroeconomic influences on the key drivers of the credit risk profile of the bank’s assets, including: corporate, consumer and real estate market dynamics; corporate, consumer and SME borrower performance; geography; as well as collateral value volatility, are appropriately captured and incorporated into the Bank’s forward macroeconomic sensitivity analysis.
The key assumptions driving the quarterly outlook for 2025 include global tariff policies, while stabilizing, still carry uncertainty regarding their size, scope, and timing. Tariffs may pose challenges to both the Canadian and U.S. economies, potentially leading to reduced economic activity. A decline in export demand could dampen investment and hiring, thereby slowing consumption growth. Although the economy is expected to avoid a recession, annual GDP growth will likely decelerate by the end of 2025. As economic momentum slows, we anticipate some rate cuts by the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve. The unemployment rate forecast has been revised upward in response to a more subdued growth outlook. Additionally, upcoming changes to Canadian immigration policy are expected to reduce labor force growth in 2025, which could further influence the unemployment rate. While tariffs may contribute to future inflationary pressures, these effects could be overshadowed by broader recession concerns.
Management developed ECL estimates using credit risk parameter term structure forecasts sensitized to individual baseline, upside and downside forecast macroeconomic scenarios, each weighted at 100%, and subsequently computed the variance of each to the Bank’s reported ECL as at July 31, 2025 in order to assess the alignment of the Bank’s reported ECL with the Bank’s credit risk profile, and further, to assess the scope, depth and ultimate effectiveness of the credit risk mitigation strategies that the Bank has applied to its lending portfolios (see Expected Credit Loss Sensitivity below).
Expected credit loss sensitivity:
The following table presents the sensitivity of the Bank’s estimated ECL to a range of individual macroeconomic scenarios, that in isolation may not reflect the Bank’s actual expected ECL exposure, as well as the variance of each to the Bank’s reported ECL as at July 31, 2025:

Credit quality:
The Bank assigns a risk rating to each credit asset comprising its credit asset portfolio. A risk rating is assigned as a function of each new credit application, annual review or an amendment to a facility. The risk rating considers the credit risk attributes of the credit asset, structure, individual borrower circumstances as well as local, regional and global macroeconomic and market conditions. The Bank aggregates its risk rating assignments into the following three broad categories:
i) Satisfactory – The borrower and credit asset valuation are of acceptable credit quality.
ii) Watchlist – The borrower or the credit asset valuation exhibits potential credit weakness or a downward trend which, if not mitigated, will potentially weaken the Bank’s position. The credit asset requires close supervision.
iii) Classified – The collection of the structural payment and/or the full repayment of the credit asset is uncertain.

As of July 31, 2025, the Bank utilizes a foreign exchange forward contract through a designated hedge to mitigate the foreign exchange risk on its net investment in VersaBank USA. This hedging strategy is aimed at minimizing foreign exchange risk related to fluctuations between VersaBank’s functional currency, CAD, and the foreign currency of its net investment, USD. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives, attributable to the effective portion of the hedge, are recognized in other comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion, if any, is recorded in profit or loss. As of July 31, 2025, the outstanding foreign exchange forward contract had a notional value of USD $

15. | Capital management: |
a) Overview:
The Bank’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to retain investor, creditor, market and regulator confidence as well as to support the future growth and development of the business. The impact of the level of capital held on shareholders’ return is an important consideration, and the Bank recognizes the need to maintain a balance between the higher returns that may be possible with greater leverage and the advantages and security that may be afforded by a more robust capital position.
Capital is managed in accordance with policies and plans that are regularly reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors and that take into account, amongst other items, forecasted capital requirements, current and anticipated financial market conditions and any capital ratio targets that are communicated to the Bank by Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (“OSFI”). Capital is managed in accordance with policies and plans that are regularly reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors and that take into account, amongst other items, forecasted capital requirements and current and anticipated financial market conditions.
The goal is to maintain adequate regulatory capital for the Bank to be considered well capitalized, protect deposits and provide capacity to support organic growth as well as to capitalize on strategic opportunities that do not otherwise require access to the public capital markets, all the while providing a satisfactory return to shareholders. The Bank’s regulatory capital is comprised of share capital, retained earnings and unrealized gains and losses on fair value through other comprehensive income securities (Common Equity Tier 1 capital), preferred shares redeemed in 2024 (Additional Tier 1 capital) and subordinated notes (Tier 2 capital).
The Bank monitors its capital adequacy and related capital ratios on a daily basis and has stipulated policies, which are approved by the Board of Directors, setting internal targets and thresholds for its capital ratios. These capital ratios consist of the leverage ratio and the risk-based capital ratios.
The Bank makes use of the Standardized Approach for credit risk as prescribed by the OSFI and, therefore, may include eligible ECL allowance amounts in its Tier 2 capital, up to a maximum of
During the period ended July 31, 2025, there were no material changes in the Bank’s management of capital.
b) | Risk-based capital ratios: |
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has published the Basel III rules on capital adequacy and liquidity (“Basel III”). OSFI requires that all Canadian banks must comply with the Basel III standards on an “all-in” basis for the purpose of determining their risk-based capital ratios. Required minimum regulatory capital ratios are a
OSFI also requires banks to measure capital adequacy in accordance with guidelines for determining risk- adjusted capital and risk-weighted assets, including off-balance sheet credit instruments as specified in the Basel III regulations. Based on the deemed credit risk for each type of asset, both on and off-balance sheet assets of the Bank are assigned a weighting ranging from 0% to 400% to determine the Bank’s risk- weighted equivalent assets and its risk-based capital ratios.
The Bank’s risk-based capital ratios are calculated as follows:

As at July 31, 2025, and October 31, 2024, the Bank maintained capital levels above all of the minimum Basel III regulatory capital requirements prescribed by OSFI.
c) | Leverage ratio: |
The leverage ratio, which is prescribed under the Basel III Accord, is a supplementary measure to the risk-based capital requirements and is defined as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to the Bank’s total exposures. The Basel III minimum leverage ratio is

Interest rate risk position: |
The Bank is subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a movement in interest rates could negatively impact net interest margin, net interest income and the economic value of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

Fair value of financial instruments: |
Fair values are based on management’s best estimates of market conditions and valuation policies at a certain point in time. The estimates are subjective and involve particular assumptions and judgement and, as such, may not be reflective of future fair values. The Bank’s credit assets and deposits lack an available market as they are not typically exchanged and, therefore, the book value of these instruments is not necessarily representative of amounts realizable upon immediate settlement. See note 21 of October 31, 2024, audited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on fair values.

Operating segmentation: |
Effective as of the transfer of Digital Deposit Receipt (“DDR”) technology to an existing, wholly owned subsidiary (DBG Inc.) of DRT Cyber Inc., which was subsequently renamed Digital Meteor, Inc., the Bank has established four reportable operating segments: Digital Banking Canada, Digital Banking USA, DRTC, and Digital Meteor, Inc. These four operating segments represent strategic business operations that provide distinct products and services to different markets. They are separately managed due to the differences in the nature of each business. The following summarizes the operations of each of the reportable segments:
Digital Banking Canada - The Bank employs a business-to-business model using its proprietary financial technology to address underserved segments in the Canadian banking market. VersaBank obtains its deposits and provides the majority of its credit assets electronically via innovative deposit and lending solutions for financial intermediaries.
Digital Banking USA - The Bank intends to adopt a business-to-business model, leveraging its proprietary financial technology to address underserved segments of the US banking market. VersaBank USA plans to acquire deposits and deliver the majority of its credit assets electronically through innovative deposit and lending solutions tailored for financial intermediaries.
DRTC (cybersecurity services and banking and financial technology development) - Leveraging its internally developed IT security software and capabilities, VersaBank established a wholly owned subsidiary, DRTC, to pursue significant large-market opportunities in cybersecurity and to develop innovative solutions to address the rapidly growing volume of cyber threats challenging financial institutions, multi-national corporations and government entities.
Digital Meteor, Inc. -Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Digital Meteor, Inc. (“Digital Meteor”), VersaBank owns proprietary intellectual property and technology to enable the next generation of digital assets by the banking and financial community, including the Bank’s revolutionary Digital Deposit Receipts (“DDR”s).
The basis for the determination of the reportable segments is a function primarily of the systematic, consistent process employed by the Bank’s chief operating decision maker, the President, and the Chief Financial Officer in reviewing and interpreting the operations and performance of each segment. The accounting policies applied to these segments are consistent with those employed in the preparation of the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements, as disclosed in note 3 of the Bank’s 2024 audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Performance is measured based on segment net income, as included in the Bank’s internal management reporting. Management has determined that this measure is the most relevant in evaluating segment results and in the allocation of resources.
The following table sets out the results of each reportable operating segment as at and for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025, and 2024:
