Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have requested the opinion of this firm as to certain matters in connection with the offer and sale of TFS Financial Corporation (the “Company”) Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). We have reviewed the Company’s Charter, Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1”), as well as applicable statutes and regulations governing the Company and the offer and sale of the Common Stock.

Very truly yours,
