Exhibit 99.1

FINWISE BANCORP REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

- Loan Originations of $2.1 Billion -

- Net Income of $10.0 Million -

- Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.73 -

MURRAY, UTAH — October 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FinWise Bancorp (NASDAQ: FINW) (“FinWise”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), parent company of FinWise Bank (the “Bank”), today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights

•Loan originations totaled $2.1 billion, compared to $1.6 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and $1.8 billion for the third quarter of the prior year

•Period end credit enhanced loan balances outstanding reached $146.2 million in the third quarter, compared to $74.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and $41.4 million for the third quarter of the prior year

•Net interest income was $41.9 million, compared to $28.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and $18.6 million for the third quarter of the prior year

•Net income was $10.0 million, compared to $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and $4.9 million for the third quarter of the prior year

•Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 includes a $6.5 million bargain purchase gain resulting from the July 20, 2026 acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Tallied Technologies Inc. and a $0.4 million loss from discontinued operations

•Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $0.73 for the quarter, compared to $0.15 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and $0.34 for the third quarter of the prior year

•Efficiency ratio1 was 41.6%, compared to 54.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and 47.6% for the third quarter of the prior year

•Nonperforming loan balances were $37.1 million as of September 30, 2026, compared to $37.7 million as of June 30, 2026, and $43.1 million as of September 30, 2025. Nonperforming loan balances guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) were $17.7 million, $19.1 million, and $23.6 million as of September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025, respectively

“This quarter demonstrates the tangible progress we have made in broadening our platform and building a more capital-efficient sponsor bank,” said Jim Noone, CEO of FinWise Bancorp. “We originated $2.1 billion in loans and we nearly doubled our credit-enhanced balances to $146 million in the quarter. Even after the cost of those partner arrangements, net interest income rose 17%1 from the second quarter. We also recognized a one-time gain from our first acquisition transaction.

“Credit performance improved during the quarter. Net charge-offs on loans without credit enhancement were $2.6 million in the quarter, well below the range of the last few quarters. Non-performing asset balances also decreased quarter-over-quarter. With tangible book value up 9% over the past year, a leverage ratio of 18.1%, a strong pipeline of prospective partners with the potential to contribute more meaningfully to future revenue, and continued share repurchases, we have the capital strength, teams and operating environment to execute. We remain committed to disciplined execution, ongoing credit quality improvement, and delivering long-term value for our shareholders."

(1) Represents a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as the total provision for credit losses less the provision attributable to Strategic Program loans with credit enhancement. This non-GAAP measure reflects the portion of credit loss provision that is not covered by strategic partners with credit enhancement and therefore represents the Company’s provision expense for the credit exposure retained by the Company. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure.

(2) FinWise uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted EPS as restricted stock awards are considered participating securities due to the dividend rights associated with those awards. Effective December 31, 2025, executive management elected to waive the dividend rights on their unvested restricted stock awards, and this waiver extends to restricted stock awards granted in 2026 to directors and various other employees. As a result, these unvested shares are no longer treated as participating securities and are excluded from the two-class method calculation of EPS. The impact on basic and diluted earnings per share was de minimis, and previously reported periods are not affected.

(3) Represents a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adding the provision for credit losses and subtracting the credit enhancement income to income from continuing operations before income taxes. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure.

(4) Annualized for the respective three-month periods.

(5) Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. The efficiency ratio is defined as total non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. The Company believes this measure is important as an indicator of productivity because it shows the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure.

(6) Tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity to total assets. The Company had no goodwill at the end of any period indicated. The Company has not considered internally used software and loan servicing rights or loan trailing fee assets as intangible assets for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity at the end of each of the periods indicated.

Credit Card Business: Strategic Repositioning and Discontinued Operations

In July 2026, FinWise completed its acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Tallied Technologies, Inc. (“Tallied”). The transaction added card issuing and program management technology, along with an experienced team, that expands the Company’s ability to support credit card programs for its fintech partners. Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company determined that investing in credit card receivables was not a strategy the Company would pursue, and the Board of Directors approved a plan to exit the credit card portfolio business and to divest the credit card loan portfolio and certain acquired assets and liabilities while retaining the technology and credit card servicing platform. The disposal group consists of the credit card portfolio as well as the program sponsor relationship, program records, and associated cardholder rewards liability acquired as part of the Tallied transaction. Accordingly, the results of the credit card business are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and the related assets and liabilities are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2026. The Company is retaining the technology platform and development team to help complete the platform build out to be used to support our

strategy to service credit card programs and the payments needs of our fintech partners as part of our banking-as-a service strategy.

For the third quarter of 2026, net income from continuing operations was $10.4 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, including a bargain purchase gain of $6.5 million. Net loss from discontinued operations was $0.4 million. The Company expects to complete the sale of its credit card business, including certain credit card assets acquired in the Tallied transaction, by the second quarter of 2027.

Loan Originations

Loan originations totaled $2.1 billion for the third quarter of 2026, an increase from the $1.6 billion recorded in the prior quarter and an increase from the $1.8 billion recorded in the prior year period. The growth in originations compared to both the prior quarter and the prior year period primarily reflects the seasonality of originations by student loan lenders, the rapid growth of a credit enhancement lending relationship, and an increase in volume from certain established strategic programs.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income was $41.9 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $28.4 million for the prior quarter and $18.6 million for the prior year period. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to growth in the credit-enhanced loan portfolio and a decrease in the migration of performing loans to nonperforming loans, which resulted in a lower reversal of interest on nonaccrual loans and contributed to an increase in the average yield on loans held-for-investment. The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to the same growth in credit enhanced loans, as well as a change in estimate, based on additional information and experience, regarding the allocation of interest received on credit enhanced loans in excess of the amount FinWise retains. FinWise now estimates that all excess interest is attributable to servicing and credit guarantee expense. In the prior year, it had estimated that a portion was attributable to origination costs, or finders’ fees, which was reported in net interest income. Because this change in estimate was reflected in both the current and prior quarters, it did not affect the comparison to the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2026 was 19.58%, compared to 13.83% for the prior quarter and 9.09% for the prior year period. The increase in net interest margin from the prior quarter was primarily due to growth in the higher-yielding credit-enhanced loan portfolio and a decrease in the migration of performing loans to nonaccrual status, which resulted in lower reversals of interest on nonaccrual loans, partially offset by a higher average rate paid on time certificates of deposit. The increase in net interest margin from the prior-year period was primarily due to growth in the higher-yielding credit-enhanced loan portfolio and higher yields on loans held-for-investment, the change in estimated allocation of excess interest as previously described, and lower rates paid on deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses

Three Months Ended

($ in thousands) 9/30/2026 6/30/2026 9/30/2025

Provision for credit losses:

Strategic Program loans - with credit enhancement(1)

$ 45,392 $ 14,944 $ 8,850

Strategic Program loans - without credit enhancement 1,324 1,995 2,462

All other loans (core portfolio) (126) 3,880 1,346

Provision for credit losses on loans 46,590 20,819 12,658

Provision for unfunded commitments 157 124 141

Total provision for credit losses $ 46,747 $ 20,943 $ 12,799

(1) For credit enhanced loans, fintech partners are required to maintain a deposit account at FinWise, which is used to recover charge-offs. The provision for credit losses on these loans differs from the core portfolio, as it is fully offset by expected recoveries under the partner guarantee, which is recognized as credit enhancement income in non-interest income.

The Company’s provision for credit losses from continuing operations was $46.7 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $20.9 million for the prior quarter and $12.8 million for the prior year period. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to growth in the credit-enhanced loan programs, for which the provision is offset by credit enhancement income recognized in non-interest income. Excluding credit-enhanced loans, the provision for credit losses of $1.4 million declined $4.6 million from the prior quarter, compared to a provision of $5.9 million in the prior quarter, reflecting higher recoveries, reduced migration to classified loans resulting in less provisions for loans individually reviewed for impairment, and lower provisioning on Strategic Program loans without credit enhancement. The year-over-year increase was primarily related to growth in the credit-enhanced portfolio, partially offset by lower provisioning in the traditional bank portfolio as migration to classified status declined, and on Strategic Program loans without credit enhancement.

Non-interest Income

Other miscellaneous income 1,359 1,567 1,298

Total non-interest income $ 60,825 $ 23,122 $ 18,052

The increase in non-interest income from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in credit enhancement income, which corresponds to the higher provision for credit losses on credit-enhanced loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. Non-interest income also included a $6.5 million bargain purchase gain recognized in connection with the Tallied acquisition. In addition, Strategic Program fees increased, consistent with growth in Strategic Program volume and in Strategic Program loans held for investment. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of the Company’s investment in BFG.

The increase in non-interest income compared to the prior-year period was primarily due to an increase in credit enhancement income, driven by growth in credit-enhanced loan balances, and the $6.5 million bargain purchase gain recognized in connection with the Tallied acquisition. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of the Company’s investment in BFG.

Non-interest Expense

Three Months Ended

($ in thousands) 9/30/2026 6/30/2026 9/30/2025

Non-interest expense

Salaries and employee benefits $ 12,483 $ 11,062 $ 10,814

Professional services 1,426 1,146 876

Occupancy and equipment expenses 440 417 456

Credit enhancement servicing expense 4,284 1,393 248

Credit enhancement guarantee expense

20,049 11,337 1,720

Other operating expenses 4,062 2,951 3,335

Total non-interest expense $ 42,744 $ 28,306 $ 17,449

The increase in non-interest expense from the prior quarter resulted primarily from increases in credit enhancement guarantee and servicing expenses, largely resulting from an increase in interest income attributable to the credit-enhanced loan portfolio. Excluding credit enhancement related expenses, non-interest expense increased $2.8 million, primarily due to a $1.4 million increase for higher salaries and employee benefits, including employees added in connection with the Tallied acquisition, and higher other operating expenses.

The increase in non-interest expense from the prior-year period was primarily due to an increase in credit enhancement guarantee and servicing expenses resulting from growth in credit-enhanced loans, and higher salaries and employee benefits, principally from increased headcount, including employees added in connection with the Tallied acquisition.

FinWise’s efficiency ratio was 41.6% for the third quarter, compared to 54.9% for the prior quarter and 47.6% for the prior year period. We expect the efficiency ratio to continue to improve as we realize increased revenues from interest earned on our growing credit-enhanced loan balances.

Tax Rate

The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.0% for the third quarter of 2026, down from 23.9% for the prior quarter and 23.7% for the prior year period. The lower effective tax rate in the third quarter is primarily driven by the $6.5 million bargain purchase gain recognized in connection with the Tallied acquisition, as it is excluded from the calculation of income tax because the related deferred taxes were recorded in acquisition accounting. Partially offsetting this benefit were $0.6 million of discrete tax expense related to state income tax refunds received during the quarter, as well as a higher estimated annual effective tax rate attributable to nondeductible compensation.

Net Income

Net income was $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $2.1 million for the prior quarter and $4.9 million for the prior year period. Net income from continuing operations was $10.4 million for the third quarter, compared to $1.8 million for the prior quarter and $4.9 million for the prior year period. Third quarter results included a non-recurring, pre-tax bargain purchase gain of $6.5 million recognized in connection with the Tallied acquisition; this gain was exempt from income tax as the related deferred taxes were recorded in acquisition accounting. Discontinued operations resulted in a loss, net of tax, of $0.4 million for the third quarter, compared to income, net of tax, of $0.4 million for the prior quarter. The remaining changes in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 relative to both the prior quarter and prior year period, are otherwise generally attributable to the factors discussed in the foregoing sections.

Balance Sheet

The Company’s total assets were $958.3 million as of September 30, 2026, an increase from $925.3 million as of June 30, 2026 and an increase from $899.9 million as of September 30, 2025. The increase in total assets from June 30, 2026 was primarily due to increases in credit-enhanced loans of $72.0 million, the credit enhancement asset of $35.9 million, and other assets of $13.9 million. These increases were partially offset by an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $36.1 million, a decrease in Strategic Program loans held-for-sale of $30.2 million, and a decrease in loans held-for-investment, excluding credit-enhanced loans, of $13.0 million.

The increase in total assets compared to September 30, 2025 was primarily due to increases in credit-enhanced loans of $104.9 million, the credit enhancement asset of $53.0 million, assets of discontinued operations of $42.3 million related to the credit card program, and other assets of $32.6 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in loans held-for-investment, excluding credit-enhanced loans, of $78.8 million, an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $54.3 million, and decreases in Strategic Program loans held-for-sale of $22.1 million and cash and cash equivalents of $13.1 million.

Note: SBA loans as of September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025 include $44.0 million, $65.5 million, and $132.7 million, respectively, of SBA 7(a) loan balances that are guaranteed by the SBA.

Total loans HFI as of September 30, 2026 increased $59.0 million and increased $26.0 million compared to June 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025, respectively. The increases were driven by growth in credit-enhanced Strategic Program loans, which increased $72.0 million and $104.9 million compared to June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively, reflecting our 2025 strategic initiative to develop the credit-enhanced portfolio. These increases were partially offset by declines in the SBA portfolio of $26.7 million and $105.2 million compared to June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively, resulting primarily from sales of the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans, reflecting ongoing portfolio and credit risk management.

The increase in total deposits as of September 30, 2026 from June 30, 2026 was primarily due to growth in time certificates of deposit of $29.0 million and noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $18.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits of $31.3 million. The increase in total deposits as of September 30, 2026 from September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by growth in time certificates of deposit of $39.0 million, which were utilized to fund growth in credit-enhanced loans and enhance the Company’s liquidity profile, and in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $6.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits of $13.9 million.

Total shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2026 increased $8.9 million to $208.1 million from $199.2 million at June 30, 2026. Compared to September 30, 2025, total shareholders’ equity increased by $20.3 million from $187.8 million. The increases from June 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025 were primarily due to net income generated throughout the respective period, partially offset by repurchases of common stock under the Company’s stock repurchase program.

Bank Regulatory Capital Ratios

The following table presents the leverage ratios for the Bank as of the dates indicated as determined under the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation:

As of

Capital Ratios

9/30/2026 6/30/2026 9/30/2025

Well-Capitalized Requirement(1)

Leverage ratio

18.1% 18.1% 17.2% 8.0%

(1) The well-capitalized requirement was 9.0% until July 1, 2026, at which time it was reduced to 8.0%.

The leverage ratio was unchanged from the prior quarter, as growth in capital from earnings was offset by growth in average assets. The increase from the prior year period resulted primarily from growth in capital from earnings exceeding the relative growth in average assets. The Bank’s capital levels as of September 30, 2026 remain significantly above the regulatory well-capitalized guidelines as of September 30, 2026.

Share Repurchase Program

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 159,099 shares for $2.2 million under the Company’s share repurchase program announced in May 2026, which provides for the purchase of up to 685,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, from time to time, on or before the program's expiration date, in the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise, subject to applicable laws and regulations. As of September 30, 2026, the Company has repurchased an aggregate amount of 188,835 shares under the plan since its inception.

Asset Quality

The recorded balances of nonperforming loans were $37.1 million, or 6.3% of total loans held-for-investment, as of September 30, 2026, compared to $37.7 million, or 7.2% of total loans held-for-investment, as of June 30, 2026 and $43.1 million, or 7.7% of total loans held-for-investment, as of September 30, 2025. The balances of nonperforming loans guaranteed by the SBA were $17.7 million, $19.1 million, and $23.6 million as of September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025, respectively. The decrease in nonperforming loans from the prior quarter and prior year period was primarily attributable to paydowns resulting from the sale of real property collateralizing nonperforming SBA 7(a) and commercial real estate loans. The decrease in nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans held-for-investment from the prior quarter also reflects growth in credit-enhanced loans held-for-investment. The Company’s allowance for credit losses to total loans held-for-investment was 13.6% as of September 30, 2026 compared to 8.3% as of June 30, 2026 and 4.6% as of September 30, 2025. The increase in the ratio from the prior quarter and prior year period was primarily due to the provision for credit losses related to the growth of the credit enhanced loan balances.

The Company’s net charge-offs were $10.6 million, $11.4 million, and $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025, respectively. The decrease in net charge-offs from the prior quarter resulted primarily from lower charge-offs in the traditional bank portfolio, partially offset by higher charge-offs associated with credit-enhanced Strategic Program loans. The increase from the third quarter of 2025 resulted primarily from higher charge-offs associated with credit-enhanced Strategic Program loans as that program increased in size and matured. Charge-offs for the traditional bank portfolio totaled $1.1 million in the third quarter compared to $3.3 million in the prior quarter and $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease from the prior quarter reflects lower charge-offs on owner-occupied commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans, while the increase from the prior year period primarily reflects charge-offs on owner-occupied commercial real estate loans resulting from the resolution of specific nonperforming loans.

FinWise has entered into agreements with certain of its Strategic Program service providers pursuant to which they provide credit enhancement on loans which protects the Bank by indemnifying or reimbursing the Bank for incurred credit and fraud losses. We estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these Strategic Program loans in accordance with GAAP, which requires estimation of the provision without consideration of the credit enhancement. When the provision for expected losses over the life of the loans that are subject to such credit enhancement is recorded, a credit enhancement asset reflecting the future recovery of those estimated credit losses pursuant to the strategic partner’s guarantee to assume the Bank’s credit losses on each of the loans in the respective guaranteed portfolio is also recorded on the balance sheet in the form of non-interest income (credit enhancement income). Reimbursement or indemnification for incurred losses is provided for in the form of a deposit reserve account that is replenished periodically by the respective Strategic Program service provider. The credit enhancement asset is reduced as credit enhancement payments and recoveries are received from the Strategic Program service provider or taken from its cash reserve account. If the Strategic Program service provider is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations under its credit enhancement agreement, then the Bank could be exposed to the loss of the reimbursement and credit enhancement income as a result of this counterparty risk. In the event the Strategic Program service provider is not able to perform according to the contractual terms, the Bank is entitled to receive all the income on the loans. The Bank incurs expenses for the amounts owed to the strategic partner for the credit guarantee and for servicing of the credit enhanced portfolio, if applicable (credit enhancement program expenses). See the following reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures for the impact of the credit enhancement on our financial condition and results. Note that these amounts are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures.

The following non-GAAP measures are presented to illustrate the impact of certain credit enhancement program expenses on total interest income on loans held-for-investment and average yield on loans held-for-investment:

Quarterly Results 4 1 Credit Enhanced Lending program fully launched mid-2025. Provision for credit losses has increased due to higher Credit Enhanced balances. For credit enhanced loans, fintech partners are required to maintain a deposit account at FinWise, which is used to recover charge-offs. The provision for credit losses on these loans differs from the core portfolio, as it is fully offset by expected recoveries under the partner guarantee, which is recognized as credit enhancement income in non-interest income.

Disciplined Underwriting Process Mitigates Risk... • Credit risk is actively managed through combination of policy, data and pricing • Disciplined underwriting process and well collateralized portfolio has helped mitigate net charge-offs, even as credit quality normalized due to an elevated interest rate environment • Remain well-reserved: ACL/Total Gross Loans HFI of 13.6% at end of 3Q26. • SBA guaranteed balances as % of Total Gross Loans HFI have declined as we continue to sell guaranteed portions of SBA loans due to favorable market conditions • Strategic Programs HFI balances as % of Total Gross Loans HFI, have increased partly driven by higher Credit Enhanced balances • *Provision for loan losses and net charge-offs have increased partly due to higher Credit Enhanced balances. The provision for credit losses on these loans differs from the core portfolio, as it is fully offset by expected recoveries under the partner guarantee, recognized as credit enhancement income in non-interest income. • *For Strategic Program (SP) loans with credit enhancement, FinWise is fully reimbursed for any net charge-offs, as fintech partners are required to maintain a deposit account at FinWise, which is used to recover these charge-offs. 19 *For SP loans with credit enhancement, FinWise is fully reimbursed for any net charge-offs, as each fintech partner is required to maintain a deposit account at FinWise, which is used to recover these charge-offs.

...and Leads to a Diversified and Lower Risk Loan Portfolio Key Quarterly Trends: • Combined SBA Guaranteed, Strategic Program Loans Held-for-Sale (HFS) and Strategic Programs (HFI) with Credit Enhancement comprised a total of 45% of the portfolio as of 3Q26. ◦ These products carry lower credit risk: SBA Guaranteed loans are guaranteed by the U.S Small Business Administration, Strategic Program Loans (HFS) are supported by reserve deposit accounts, and with Strategic Program Loans (HFI) with Credit Enhancement, FinWise is fully reimbursed for any losses, as each fintech partner is required to maintain a cash reserve deposit at FinWise, which is used to recover these charge-offs. • SBA Unguaranteed loans declined from 14.9% of the portfolio as of 3Q25 to 12.7% as of 3Q26. • SBA Guaranteed balances have declined as we continue to sell amounts of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans. 20 1Total Loans includes Held for Investment (HFI) and Held for Sale (HFS). NOTE: Commercial (Non RE) is mostly Equipment Leasing. Portfolio Characteristics: • SBA: Average FICO is 740+. Average time in business is 12+ years. Top 3 industries by Unguaranteed balances: eCommerce, Law Firms and Health Care. • CRE Non-SBA (12.5% as of 3Q26) is 97.5% Owner Occupied

Deposit Composition 21 Total Period End Deposits: $707.6 Million (as of September 30, 2026) Opportunity to enhance profitability by gradually diversifying deposit composition away from higher-cost CDs and reducing cost of funds Note: Deposits declined Q/Q as excess funds were not required to support a lower level of assets.

Diversified Income Sources 24 1For accounting purposes, Credit Enhancement Income is fully offset by a corresponding credit loss provision related to credit enhanced balances, thus not having a net effect on the Company's net income. 2All Other Non-interest Income includes all other non-interest income items, excluding Strategic Program Fees and Credit Enhancement Income. Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin (NIM) are impacted by lending activities including growth in the Credit Enhanced portfolio Continuing operations results in 3Q26 included a $6.5 million bargain purchase gain recognized in connection with the Tallied transaction, which was recorded in non-interest income.

Disciplined Expense Management (adjusting for Credit Enhancement Expense) Increase in total non-interest expense mostly due to increases in Credit Enhancement Servicing and Guarantee Expense resulting from growth in credit enhanced loans. Salaries & employee benefit expenses remain relatively well managed. Outlook Commentary: Remain focused on positive operating leverage; Expense growth to be correlated to revenue production. 25 3Q25 2Q26 3Q26 Full Time Employees (FTEs) 194 206 209 Efficiency Ratio (Non-GAAP)2 47.6% 54.9% 41.6% 1All Other Non-interest Expense refers to all other expense components within Total Non-interest Expense, excluding Salaries & Employee Benefits and Credit Enhancement Expenses. 2See Appendix at the end of the presentation for Non- GAAP reconciliation

Well Capitalized Above Regulatory Requirements 26 Note: data as of the end of each respective period. 1On April 23, 2026, the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and OCC jointly adopted a final rule lowering the CBLR requirement from 9% to 8%, effective July 1, 2026. Capital levels remain well above the recently lowered well-capitalized regulatory requirement of 8%1, pursuant to the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) framework adopted by the Bank in 2020.

Appendix 27

Non-GAAP Reconciliations 28 (1) Tangible shareholders’ equity: This measure is not a measure recognized under GAAP and is therefore considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity to total assets. The Company had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. The Company has not considered loan servicing rights or loan trailing fee asset as intangible assets for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity as of each of the dates indicated. (2) Efficiency Ratio: This measure is not a measure recognized under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and is therefore considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure.
