Item 8.01 – Other Events.

As previously disclosed, The Bancorp, Inc.’s (the “Company”) wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bancorp Bank (the “Bank”), filed applications with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) to convert the Bank’s state charter to a federal charter and to relocate the Bank’s headquarters from Wilmington, Delaware to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, while retaining a branch in Wilmington, Delaware. The referenced applications were approved by the OCC in June 2022, subject to the condition that the Bank notify and receive non-objection from the OCC prior to significantly deviating or changing its business plan or operations.

On September 13, 2022, the Bank received written notification from the OCC acknowledging that the conversion process is complete, and that the Bank is authorized to commence business as a national bank. Accordingly, effective September 15, 2022, the Bank will operate as a national bank named ‘The Bancorp Bank, National Association’, regulated by the OCC. As previously disclosed, it is anticipated that, on or after January 1, 2023, the Bank will move its headquarters to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the location of the Bank’s payments operations and other core business and internal control functions, and a site more geographically proximate to many fintech-related entities and their regulators.
