There are no scenarios in which the transaction or redemption value of one CBIT token would not be equal to one U.S. Dollar. Each CBIT token is minted with precisely one U.S. Dollar equivalent, and those dollars are held in an FDIC insured omnibus deposit account (&#8220;Omnibus Deposit Account&#8221;) at the Company until the CBIT token is burned. The number of CBIT tokens outstanding in the CBIT platform is always equal to the U.S. Dollars held in the Omnibus Deposit Account at the Company and is reported as a deposit liability in the consolidated balance sheets.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">CBIT tokens may only be created by, transferred to and redeemed by our commercial customers on the CBIT instant payments platform by maintaining U.S. dollars in deposit accounts (&#8220;DDAs&#8221;) at Customers Bank.  A commercial customer mints CBIT tokens by first opening a DDA at Customers Bank, funding that DDA with U.S. Dollars, and connecting that DDA to its CBIT wallet. The customer has an ownership interest titled in its name in the U.S. Dollars deposited in the Omnibus Deposit Account in the amount equivalent to the amount of CBIT tokens in the customer&#8217;s CBIT wallet. When a commercial customer transfers CBIT tokens to another commercial customer, the total value in the Omnibus Deposit Account remains the same, but the transferring customer&#8217;s ownership interest in the U.S. Dollars held in the Omnibus Deposit Account will now be transferred in the receiver&#8217;s name equivalent to the value of the transferred CBIT tokens.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Each CBIT token is a deposit token and a digital representation of the value of one U.S. Dollar that has no legal tender status and no monetary value. Only U.S. Dollars, and no other currency, can be transferred to a commercial customer&#8217;s CBIT wallet. As discussed above, the U.S. Dollar equivalent of these CBIT tokens in the customers&#8217; CBIT wallets are held in one Omnibus Deposit Account which is reported as part of the Company&#8217;s total deposit liability in its consolidated balance sheets while the cash received from these deposits can be used by the Company in its business operations without any restrictions.</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Therefore, as an example, a CBIT token as a deposit token is different from a stablecoin which is a bearer asset that pegs its value to a traditional asset, such as a fiat money. The U.S. Dollar equivalent held in the customer&#8217;s name in the Omnibus Deposit Account together with any other deposits held in the customer&#8217;s name at the Company are FDIC insured up to $250,000. Our customers do not receive any yield or interest on their CBIT tokens since these are only utilized to facilitate real-time payment transactions between our commercial customers. Our commercial customers&#8217; CBIT related DDAs earn interest if held in interest-bearing DDAs.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">If a customer&#8217;s DDA is overdrawn, the Company may transfer or redeem CBIT tokens from the customer&#8217;s CBIT wallet to cover the overdraft in the DDA. The Company may freeze or suspend a customer&#8217;s CBIT wallet due to fraud or misuse of the account. We may also freeze or seize the funds from a customer&#8217;s DDA in the event of legal action or process against the customer. In addition, if the customer is an actual or suspected victim of fraud identified through the Company&#8217;s monitoring program or when the customer notifies us, procedures are in place to investigate, resolve and mitigate the impact of fraud, which may include freezing funds in the customer&#8217;s DDA or CBIT wallet, locking the DDA or CBIT wallet or suspending or terminating access by an authorized user. If an authorized user engages in unauthorized activities and the customer reports that to us immediately, we will suspend the user&#8217;s login credentials. The Company may also correct or reverse a fraudulent or unauthorized transaction. If the services provided by the CBIT platform becomes permanently unavailable, all CBIT tokens in the customer&#8217;s CBIT wallet will be automatically redeemed to U.S. Dollars in the customer&#8217;s DDA. If the customer notifies us through our claim process of a processing error caused by us or our third-party providers within 30 days of the processing error, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the processing error in accordance with our procedures applicable to the service.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="height:72pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:right"><font style="color:#808080;font-family:'Poppins',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">&#169; 2022 Customers Bank.

The customer indicates the amount of U.S. Dollars to deposit in the CBIT wallet, which cannot exceed the U.S. Dollar amount the customer has in the corresponding DDA. When this action is taken, the U.S. Dollars are removed from the customer&#8217;s DDA, so that balance is reduced by the precise amount the customer wants to fund in the CBIT wallet and transferred to the Omnibus Deposit Account that is created specifically for CBIT tokens in circulation on the CBIT platform. For example, if a customer deposits $100 into the CBIT wallet from its DDA with a beginning balance of $1,000, the customer has $900 in its DDA after the deposit. The Omnibus Account holds all U.S. Dollars for minted CBIT tokens. In this example, if the Omnibus Account had no balance prior to this deposit, it now holds $100. The customer&#8217;s CBIT wallet is funded with the CBIT tokens the customer deposits (i.e., 100 CBIT tokens).</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company records a customer&#8217;s deposit in the DDA as a deposit liability on the balance sheet in accordance with ASC 942-405-25-3. The funds transferred to the Omnibus Deposit Account equal to the deposit made by a customer in its CBIT wallet represent the Company&#8217;s deposit liability to that customer. In the above example, the Company would reflect a deposit liability of $1,000 on its balance sheet (i.e., $900 in the customer&#8217;s DDA and $100 in the Omnibus Deposit Account held in the customer&#8217;s name).</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline">Making Payments</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">To make a payment to a receiver in CBIT tokens, both the sender and the receiver of the payment must be set up with CBIT wallets on the CBIT platform. The sender must be connected to the receiver or know the CBIT wallet address where to send the payment. In the CBIT platform, the sender takes this action using the &#8220;send&#8221; function. In this function the user indicates the CBIT token amount to be sent, and the receiver. The amount to be sent cannot exceed the amount in the sender&#8217;s CBIT wallet. When the transaction is submitted, the CBIT token is removed from the sender&#8217;s CBIT wallet and is transferred to the receiver&#8217;s CBIT wallet. The total amount of U.S. Dollars in the Omnibus Account does not change, as the same amount of CBIT tokens is in circulation through this transaction, although the ownership interest in the U.S. Dollars held in the Omnibus Deposit Account is now titled in the receiver&#8217;s name. Similarly, the Company&#8217;s total deposit liability balance on its balance sheet does not change upon payment on the CBIT platform.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline">Redeeming&#47;Burning CBIT</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">To burn or redeem CBIT tokens, the customer performs the &#8220;redeem&#8221; function in the CBIT platform. The customer indicates the amount of CBIT tokens to be redeemed, which cannot exceed the CBIT tokens the customer has in its CBIT wallet. When this action is taken, the CBIT token is removed from the customer&#8217;s CBIT wallet. For example, if a customer redeems 100 CBIT tokens from a CBIT wallet with 500 CBIT tokens, 400 CBIT tokens remain in its CBIT wallet. The U.S. Dollar equivalent is removed from the Omnibus Deposit Account ($100 in this example) and transferred to the customer&#8217;s DDA (i.e., $100 is added to the customer&#8217;s DDA). The Company&#8217;s total deposit liability balance on its balance sheet does not change upon burning or redeeming CBIT tokens.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="height:72pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:right"><font style="color:#808080;font-family:'Poppins',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">&#169; 2022 Customers Bank.

consists of unsecured, fully-amortizing fixed rate loans with terms ranging from 3 years to 7 years as of June&#160;30, 2022. The remaining $287.4 million, or 15.1%, of the consumer installment portfolio consists of medical, home improvement and student loans. Our medical loans are unsecured, fixed rate loans with terms ranging from 5 years to 20 years. Our home improvement loans may be secured by liens on the property and related fixtures by filing UCC-1 financing statements under certain circumstances but generally are unsecured, fixed rate loans with terms ranging from 5 years to 20 years.

Our medical loan portfolio decreased $41.9 million, or 23.6%, to $135.7 million at June&#160;30, 2022 from $177.6 million at December&#160;31, 2021.

Given the immaterial amounts of these loans, combined with our stated strategy of not growing our consumer installment portfolio, we do not believe that separately disclosing the amounts and related key metrics or measures of other installment loans consisting of medical, home improvement and student loans and credit cards from personal loans provide additional insights into our consumer installment loan portfolio.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As reported on our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 3, 2022, the Company sold $500&#160;million of personal loans to a vehicle managed by a global asset manager on September 30, 2022.

Although our legal rights and remedies against borrowers may differ somewhat for medical, home improvement and student loans as compared to unsecured personal loans, our historical experience of charge-offs and recoveries on these portfolios have not differed significantly from our unsecured personal loans.

The Company reviewed SAB 121, multiple interpretive guides released by the Big 4 Accounting Firms, the AICPA Practice Aid&#58; Accounting for and Auditing of Digital Assets and multiple joint letters from Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (&#8220;SIFMA&#8221;) and the American Bankers Association (&#8220;ABA&#8221;) to the SEC pertaining to SAB 121 to gain an understanding of the scope and accounting implications of SAB 121.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As part of the SAB 121 adoption process, the Company reviewed its existing product offerings and services, including CBIT, to assess the applicability of SAB 121, by first evaluating whether the product offerings or services relate to &#8220;crypto-assets&#8221;. SAB 121 defined a &#8220;crypto-asset&#8221; as a digital asset that is issued and&#47;or transferred using distributed ledger or blockchain technology using cryptographic techniques.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The CBIT token is a deposit token and a digital representation of the value of one U.S. Dollar that has no legal tender status and no monetary value. Further, the CBIT token cannot be pledged or obligated as collateral by the customer to any third party, and the customer is not authorized to provide any third party any legal claim to the CBIT tokens in the customer&#8217;s CBIT wallet. CBIT tokens are transferred using a private permissioned blockchain technology platform. Based upon this evaluation, the Company concluded that the CBIT tokens in the customers&#8217; CBIT wallet represent a &#8220;crypto-asset&#8221; as broadly defined under SAB 121. The customers also have the sole access and control over the CBIT tokens held in their CBIT wallets from minting, and making payments until redemption or burning the tokens subject to the Company&#8217;s administrative rights in the event of a fraudulent or unauthorized transaction as described in our response in Comment 1. As provided in our response to Comment 1, the U.S. Dollar equivalent of these CBIT tokens in the customers&#8217; CBIT wallets are held in one Omnibus Deposit Account which is reported as part of the Company&#8217;s total deposit liability while the cash received from these deposits are reported as part of cash and cash equivalents in the Company&#8217;s consolidated balance sheet. In addition, as stated in our response to Comment 3, there were no balances held in the Omnibus Deposit Account or CBIT tokens outstanding at June&#160;30, 2022 and December&#160;31, 2021. The Company has also concluded that none of its other products met the definition of a crypto asset nor any of its existing services involve a crypto-asset.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company next evaluated whether the product and services related to CBIT included an obligation to safeguard the customers&#8217; CBIT tokens. SAB 121 provides that the obligations associated with crypto assets safeguarding arrangements involve unique risk and uncertainties not present in arrangements to safeguard assets that are not crypto-assets, including technology, legal and regulatory risks and uncertainties. We evaluated the CBIT product to identify any unique risks and uncertainties as provided under SAB 121.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="height:72pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:right"><font style="color:#808080;font-family:'Poppins',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">&#169; 2022 Customers Bank.

The CBIT tokens and platform are used to provide real time intrabank commercial transactions and are not intended to be a trading platform for tokens&#47;digital assets. The payment platform is on a private permissioned blockchain and CBIT tokens may only be redeemed by our existing commercial customers through their existing DDAs. All payment transfers and blockchain interaction occur within Tassat&#8217;s secured real time payment platform.  In the event of a fraudulent or unauthorized transaction, Tassat may reverse the fraudulent or unauthorized transaction upon written instructions from the Company. To gain access to the CBIT platform, the Company&#8217;s commercial customer must have a valid funded DDA and complete a CBIT setup form to establish a CBIT wallet. In addition, controls are in place to ensure that only authorized users can process the minting, payment and redemption transactions in the CBIT platform. The DDA is funded using traditional methods such as through a fund or wire transfer. The Company does not receive any additional cash or financial assets for the minting of CBIT tokens.

The CBIT platform does not take deposits or hold funds at any time and as such the deposit liability remains on the Company&#8217;s consolidated balance sheets. Based on this analysis, we have not identified any unique technological risk with CBIT that is not already mitigated by the practices, processes and controls that we have put in place for our other existing products and services, as a regulated banking institution, to protect the Company and its customers against theft, loss, and unauthorized transactions.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Legal and Regulatory Risks</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company, as a regulated banking institution, is subject to a comprehensive regulatory risk management framework that distinguishes banking organizations from nonbank entities, to protect its clients and promote safety and soundness. The Company is also subject to regulation that requires appropriate capital levels are maintained. Regulatory oversight is conducted through a comprehensive and frequent examination process. CBIT was presented and discussed with the Company&#8217;s banking regulators providing them the product overview as well as the related key risks and related mitigants.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As part of the CBIT wallet set-up process, customers receive a copy of the CBIT service agreement, which details the services provided that are not custodial in nature and the assumptions of risks. The agreement specifically encourages the customer to implement dual user control accounts to mitigate instances of fraud. In the event of fraud, the Company has standard procedures in place to investigate, resolve, and mitigate the impact of fraud, including freezing funds, in the customer&#8217;s DDA or CBIT wallet, or suspending or terminating access by an authorized user. For cash to inaccurately leave the Company due to a breach of security, both the CBIT wallet and associated DDA would need to be compromised. The risk of a compromised deposit account due to a security breach is already an existing risk that is mitigated by the Company&#8217;s existing practices, processes and controls as a regulated banking institution. In regards to bankruptcy, the U.S. Dollar equivalent held in the customer&#8217;s name in the Omnibus Deposit Account together with any other deposits held in the customer&#8217;s name at the Company are FDIC insured up to $250,000.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="height:72pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:right"><font style="color:#808080;font-family:'Poppins',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">&#169; 2022 Customers Bank.

These existing risks are mitigated through our existing practices, processes and controls as a regulated banking institution. The primary business purpose for the CBIT platform is to provide a closed-system for intrabank commercial transactions and is not intended to be a trading platform for tokens or digital assets. The CBIT tokens are solely used to facilitate these real time intrabank commercial transactions. Accordingly, the Company concluded that recognizing a safeguarding obligation and corresponding safeguarding asset under SAB 121 is not appropriate. The U.S. Dollar equivalent of these CBIT tokens in the customers&#8217; CBIT wallets are held in one Omnibus Deposit Account reported as part of the Company&#8217;s total deposit liability in its consolidated balance sheets. There were no balances held in the Omnibus Deposit Account or CBIT tokens outstanding at June&#160;30, 2022 and December&#160;31, 2021. The Company has also put a sustainable process in place to assess the applicability of SAB 121 on future product offerings and services, such as crypto-based lending, or changes to the existing CBIT product.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In future filings, we will include a discussion in the notes to the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements that the adoption of SAB 121 had no impact to our consolidated financial statements.
