Bancorp, Inc.

Bancorp, Inc. is a Delaware financial holding company whose main operating subsidiary is The Bancorp Bank, National Association, a federally chartered bank based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The company’s business model is built around two core engines: fintech solutions that generate fee income and attract low-cost deposits, and specialty lending that deploys those deposits into targeted loan and lease portfolios. Its fintech platform supports partner-branded debit, credit, prepaid, ACH, acquiring, and sponsored lending programs for fintechs and other technology-enabled payment businesses. The company also runs a credit solutions business focused on niche lending areas such as SBLOC/IBLOC, SBA loans, leasing, and commercial real estate bridge loans. Most revenue and income are generated through the bank, making Bancorp a bank-with-fintech-partnerships model rather than a traditional branch-based commercial bank.
