Know all by these presents, that the undersigned,

on such person's behalf, and submit to the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"),
 any documents necessary or appropriate to obtain
codes, passwords, and passphrases enabling such
person to make electronic filings with the SEC
of reports required by Section 16(a) or Section 13(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), or any rule or regulation of
the SEC;
(2) execute for and on behalf of such person,
with respect to holdings of, and transactions
in, securities of Meta Financial Group, Inc.
("MFG"), Forms 3, 4 and 5, and any amendments
thereto, in accordance with Section 16(a) of
the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder;
(3) execute for and on behalf of such person
any Schedules 13D or 13G, and any amendments
thereto, relating to securities of MFG, in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules thereunder;
(4) do and perform any and all acts for and on
behalf of such person which may be necessary or
desirable to complete and execute any such Form
3, 4 or 5 or Schedule 13D or 13G, complete and
execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and
file any such form with the SEC and any stock
exchange or similar authority; and
(5) take any other action of any type whatsoever
in connection with the foregoing which, in the
opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit
to, in the best interest of, or legally required by,
such person, it being understood that the documents
executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of such
person pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be
in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions
as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion.

The undersigned hereby grants to each attorney-in-fact
full power and authority to do and perform any and every
act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper
to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as
such person might or could do if personally present, with
full power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying
and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such
attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force
and effect until the undersigned is no longer
required to file Form 3, 4 or 5 or Schedule 13D or
13G with respect to the holdings of, and transactions
in, MFG securities by the undersigned, unless earlier
revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered
to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this
