Industry Terms 22 Types of Payment Cards Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS): Providing financial services and solutions to third parties to offer through their distribution channels. Push-to-debit: The ability to move money directly to an end user. At Pathward, our push-to-debit capabilities are called “Faster Payments”. Debit Card: A type of payment card typically tied to funds held in a deposit account. Credit Card: A type of payment card typically attached to a line of credit that a user can make purchases against. Prepaid Card: A type of payment card that holds a finite amount of funds and is not directly tied to a bank account or line of credit. Virtual Card: A digital counterpart to a payment card, generated with a unique card number to settle a particular transaction by an authorized user. These are often used for one-time, business-to-business payments. Pathward Financial, Inc. (Nasdaq: CASH) | 2023 Investor Presentation Payment Players Acquiring Bank: An acquiring bank provides merchant accounts that allow a business to accept card payments and works in conjunction with the acquirer processor. In some cases, the acquiring bank and acquirer processor are a single entity. Acquiring Processors: Acquiring processors connect directly with merchants, the network and the acquiring bank, or via a payment gateway, to facilitate payment acceptance at the merchant. They provide the technical capabilities to create the system of record to communicate with authorization and settlement entities. In some cases, the acquiring bank and acquirer processor are a single entity. Issuing Bank: The issuing bank enters a relationship with the cardholder, program manager, and enables cards on a given network. The issuing bank fills three primary roles in payment processing: it is a “network sponsor,” which means it can issue cards on a given payments network; it is a holder of funds (for example, for gift cards, deposit accounts and other non-credit cards); and it is a “settlement point,” managing a consumer’s account and paying out to the merchant’s account after a purchase. Issuing Processor: Connects directly with the networks and issuing bank to provide the system of record, authorize transactions and communicate with settlement entities. Fintech: Fintech refers to the integration of technology into offerings by financial services companies in order to improve use and delivery to consumers. Merchant: A merchant simply refers to any business that accepts card-based payments either via a physical swipe (at the point-of-sale) or virtually online. Program Manager: Businesses that manage various elements of a card program on behalf of the issuing bank. The Program Manager is responsible for defining the program, operating the program, and managing its profitability. The program manager typically is responsible for establishing relationships with processors, banks, payment networks, and distributors and for establishing account(s) at banks. Definitions

23 Asset-Based Lending: Asset-Based Lending (ABL) refers to business loans that are secured based on assets as collateral, generally accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other balance sheet assets. Accounts Receivable: Accounts Receivable (A/R) financing refers to financing based on the value of a company’s accounts receivable (their invoices for goods or services) to another company. It is a subset of asset- based lending and is also known as factoring. Equipment Financing: Equipment Financing refers to a loan used to purchase business equipment. The financing is provided through leases such as $1 Buyout, Fair Market Value (FMV), or through term loans. Leases may appear in Loans & Leases or Rental Equipment. Factoring: Factoring refers to financing based on the purchase of a company’s accounts receivables, their invoices for goods or services. It is a subset of asset-based lending and is also known as accounts receivable financing. Insurance Premium Finance: Insurance Premium Finance refers to short-term collateralized financing to facilitate the purchases of property, casualty, and liability insurance premiums for the commercial market. Government Guaranteed Lending: A government guaranteed loan is a loan guaranteed by a government agency and financed through a lending financial entity. Government guaranteed loans include SBA loans and USDA loans. SBA Loan: An SBA loan refers to financing that is guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and provided by a lending financial institution. SBA loans, such as an SBA 7(a) loan, may be easier for a small business to obtain because of the reduced risk for the lender. Lenders must meet sufficient requirements to be eligible as a lending entity. Term Loan: A Term loan is a loan for a specific amount that has a specified interest rate and regular payment schedule to be repaid over a set period of time. USDA Loan: A USDA loan refers to financing guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) as part of the Rural Development program and provided by a lending financial institution. USDA business loans, such as the USDA Business & Industry (B & I) loan, may be easier for a business to obtain because of the reduced risk for the lender. Lenders must meet sufficient requirements to be eligible as a lending entity. Pathward Financial, Inc. (Nasdaq: CASH) | 2023 Investor Presentation Commercial Lending Terms Definitions, Continued
