Note 5—Loans, net

The Company’s loans originate from several lending lines of business, including:

SBLs, or small business loans, are comprised primarily of Small Business Administration “SBA” loans.

Direct lease financing includes lease financing for commercial and government vehicle fleets and, to a lesser extent, provides lease financing for other equipment.

SBLOCs, or securities-backed lines of credit, are made to individuals, trusts and other entities and are secured by a pledge of marketable securities maintained in one or more accounts for which the Company obtains a securities account control agreement.

IBLOCs, or insurance policy cash value-backed lines of credit, are collateralized by the cash surrender value of eligible insurance policies.

Advisor financing are loans to investment advisors for purposes of debt refinancing, acquisition of another firm or internal succession.

REBL, or real estate bridge lending, are transitional commercial mortgage loans which are made to improve and rehabilitate existing properties which already have cash flow, and which are collateralized by those properties.

Fintech loans consist of short-term extensions of credit including secured credit card loans made in conjunction with marketers and servicers.

Other loans include warehouse financing related to loan sales to third-party purchasers of REBL loans, and commercial and HELOC which the Company generally no longer offers.

Major classifications of loans, excluding commercial loans, at fair value, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Allowance for Credit Loss

A summary of the Company’s accounting policy and quantitative and qualitative methodology used in measuring the allowance for credit losses is presented in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. The Company’s estimate of credit loss for each portfolio segment includes consideration of different portfolio segments and qualitative factors, as follows:

Real estate bridge loans. Real estate bridge loans are primarily collateralized by apartment buildings, or other commercial real estate. As charge-offs have generally not been experienced for multifamily (apartment building loans) which comprise the REBL portfolio, the ACL is determined by qualitative factors. Qualitative factors focus on historical industry losses, changes in classified loan balances, changes in economic conditions and underlying collateral and portfolio performance. In the third quarter of 2024, as a result of increased levels of loans classified as special mention or substandard, a new qualitative factor related to the level of such classified loans was added.

Fintech loans. Fintech loans included $729.1 million and $201.1 million of secured credit card accounts as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are backed dollar for dollar by cash collateral by each individual cardholder and are required to be repaid in-full monthly. The remaining fintech loans consist of cashflow underwritten short-term liquidity products to individual borrowers ranging in maturities from 30 to 365 days.

In addition, all fintech loans are covered by credit enhancement agreements. The Company has an agreement with a partner to originate and service fintech loans, which includes credit enhancement provisions through which incurred losses on fintech loans are covered by the partner. The Company recognizes an estimate of loss on this portfolio through its allowance for credit losses on its fintech loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with provision for credit losses on fintech loans recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, the Company recognizes a corresponding amount of credit enhancement asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and non-interest income — fintech loan credit enhancement in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The measurement of the expected loan losses and the related credit enhancement are based on the same estimate and are equal and correlate to like amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has recognized a credit enhancement asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the estimated recovery of its realized losses on fintech loans of $31.1 million and $12.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. All fintech loans are covered by credit enhancement agreements as of December 31, 2025.

SBL. The Company segments the SBL portfolio into pools to capture the risk characteristics including: non-real estate, commercial mortgage and construction. The qualitative factors for SBL loans focus on pool loan performance, underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans and changes in economic conditions. Additionally, the construction segment adds a qualitative factor for general construction risk, such as construction delays resulting from labor shortages or availability/pricing of construction materials.

Direct lease financing. The qualitative factors for direct lease financing focus on underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, portfolio loan performance, loan concentrations and changes in economic conditions.

SBLOC. The maximum SBLOC line amounts are determined based on the underlying securities collateral, which is monitored on a daily basis to confirm the composition of the client portfolio and its daily market value. The primary qualitative factor in the SBLOC analysis is the ratio of loans outstanding to market value. Significant losses have not been incurred since inception of this line of business, as the advance rates were established to provide the Company with protection from declines in market conditions from the origination date of the lines of credit.

IBLOC. Significant losses have not been incurred since inception of the IBLOC line of business. The qualitative factors for IBLOC primarily focus on the concentration risk with insurance companies.

Advisor financing. The Bank originates loans to investment advisors for purposes of debt refinancing, acquisition of another firm or internal succession. As credit losses have not been experienced, the ACL is determined by qualitative factors. The qualitative factors for investment advisor financing focus on historical industry losses, changes in lending policies and procedures, portfolio performance and economic conditions.

Other loans. Other loans include warehouse financing related to REBL loan sales to third-party purchasers, and commercial and home equity lines of credit which the Company generally no longer offers. Qualitative factors focus on changes in the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, portfolio loan performance, loan concentrations and changes in economic conditions.

A summary of the Company’s primary portfolio pools and loans accordingly classified, by year of origination, at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

(1)Included in Other loans are $8.6 million of SBA loans purchased for CRA purposes as of December 31, 2024. These loans are classified as SBL in the Company’s loan table, which classifies loans by type, as opposed to risk characteristics.

In the above tables, the special mention classification indicates weaknesses that may, if not cured, threaten the borrower’s future repayment ability. A substandard classification reflects an existing weakness indicating the possible inadequacy of net worth and other repayment sources. These classifications are used both by regulators and peers, as they have been correlated with an increased probability of credit losses.

A detail of the changes in the ACL by loan category and summary of loans evaluated individually and collectively for credit deterioration is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Total net charge-offs increased $134.4 million, to $156.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $22.5 million for 2024. The increase in charge-offs is driven by growth in consumer fintech, which have a $133.3 million increase in net-charge offs. Fintech lending started significant activity in the fourth quarter of 2024, and such loans have a higher expected loss rate then the remainder of our loan portfolio. Losses on consumer fintech loans are covered by credit enhancement agreements as discussed further above under “Allowance for credit loss—Consumer fintech loans”.

Excluding consumer fintech, net charge-offs on the remaining portfolio were $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.


A summary of the Company’s net charge-offs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, classified by portfolio segment and year of origination are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Direct lease financing

The Company provides lease financing for commercial and government vehicle fleets and, to a lesser extent, provides lease financing for other equipment. Leases are either open-end or closed-end. An open-end lease is one in which, at the end of the lease term, the lessee must pay the difference between the amount at which the Company sells the leased asset and the stated termination value. Termination value is a contractual value agreed to by the parties at the inception of a lease as to the value of the leased asset at the end of the lease term. A closed-end lease is one for which no such payment is due on lease termination. In a closed-end lease, the risk that the amount received on a sale of the leased asset will be less than the residual value is assumed by the Bank, as lessor.

The scheduled undiscounted cash flows of the direct financing leases reconciled to the total lease receivables as of December 31, 2025 are as follows (dollars in thousands):
