The Bank has two primary lines of business consisting of its national specialty lending segment and its payments segment. In the national specialty lending segment, the Bank makes the following types of loans: securities-backed lines of credit (“SBLOC”) and cash value of insurance-backed lines of credit (“IBLOC”), leases (direct lease financing), Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and non-SBA commercial real estate (“CRE”) bridge loans. Prior to 2020, the Company generated CRE bridge loans for sale into capital markets primarily through loan securitizations which issued commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”).

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company resumed originating CRE bridge loans (primarily apartment buildings), after suspending the origination of such loans for most of 2020 and the first half of 2021. These new originations are classified as real estate bridge loans (“REBL”) and are accounted for at amortized cost, while prior CRE bridge loans originally generated for securitization continue to be accounted for at fair value.

While the national specialty lending segment generates the majority of the Company’s revenues, the payment segment also contributes significant revenues. In its payments segment, the Company provides payment and deposit services nationally, which include prepaid and debit card accounts, private label banking, deposit accounts to investment advisors’ customers, card payment and other payment processing services. Payment segment deposits fund the majority of the Company’s loans and securities and may be lower cost than other funding sources. Most of that segment’s revenues and deposits, in addition to SBLOC and IBLOC loans, result from relationships with third parties that market such products. Concentrations of loans and lower cost deposits result based upon the cumulative account balances generated by those third parties. Similar revenue concentrations result in prepaid, debit card and related fees. The Company and the Bank are subject to regulation by certain state and federal agencies and, accordingly, they are examined periodically by those regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, the Company’s and the Bank’s businesses may be affected by state and federal legislation and regulations.

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations

The Bancorp, Inc., or (“the Company”), is a Delaware corporation and a registered financial holding company. Its primary subsidiary is The Bancorp Bank, or (“the Bank”), which is wholly owned by the Company. The Bank is a Delaware chartered commercial bank located in Wilmington, Delaware and is a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured institution. The Bank has two primary lines of business consisting of its national specialty lending segment and its payments segment.

In the national specialty lending segment, the Bank makes the following types of loans: securities-backed lines of credit (“SBLOC”) and cash value of insurance-backed lines of credit (“IBLOC”), leases (direct lease financing), Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and non-SBA commercial real estate (“CRE”) bridge loans.
