FINANCIAL FEES 11www.cassinfo.com / © 2025 Cass Information Systems + Financial fees declined $637,000, or 6.0%, from Q1 2024 due to a 3.3% decline in transportation dollar volumes, which led to a lower average balance of payments in advance of funding of 10.7%. + The Company expects its new working capital solution and other initiatives to increase the average balance of payments in advance of funding in future quarters. $8.94B $9.08B $9.10B $8.99B $8.64B Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 Q4 '24 Q1 '25 $5.02B $4.75B $5.47B $5.03B $5.82B Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 Q4 '24 Q1 '25 $194.3M $213.2M $203.0M $201.0M $173.6M Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 Q4 '24 Q1 '25 TRANSPORTATION DOLLAR VOLUMES FACILITY DOLLAR VOLUMES AVERAGE PAYMENTS IN ADVANCE OF FUNDING $10.6M $10.5M $11.M $10.5M $10.0M Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 Q4 '24 Q1 '25 FINANCIAL FEES

PROCESSING FEES 12www.cassinfo.com / © 2025 Cass Information Systems + The change quarter to quarter is generally correlated to transportation and facility invoice volumes. + Processing fees decreased 2.3% as compared to 1Q 2024 primarily due to a decrease in transportation invoice volumes of 4.7%, partially offset by an increase in facility expense invoice volumes of 2.7%. 8.77M 8.88M 9.16M 8.92M 8.36M Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 Q4 '24 Q1 '25 4.11M 4.20M 4.18M 4.09M 4.23M Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 Q4 '24 Q1 '25 $16.9M $16.7M $16.2M $15.7M $16.4M Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 Q4 '24 Q1 '25 TRANSPORTATION INVOICE VOLUMES FACILITY INVOICE VOLUMES PROCESSING FEES

NET INTEREST INCOME 13www.cassinfo.com / © 2025 Cass Information Systems + The net interest margin (NIM) improved 49 basis points from Q1 2024 largely driven by increases in the average yield on loans and investment securities of 55 and 15 basis points, respectively, combined with a decline in the average cost of total deposits of 31 basis points. + The Company generally benefits from a higher interest rate environment due to a large percentage of its funding sources being non- interest bearing. $16.5M $15.9M $17.6M $17.8M $19.3M Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 Q4 '24 Q1 '25 $2.06B $1.96B $2.00B $2.02B $2.10B Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 Q4 '24 Q1 '25 3.26% 3.32% 3.55% 3.55% 3.75% Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 Q4 '24 Q1 '25 NET INTEREST INCOME AVERAGE INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS NET INTEREST MARGIN

NET INTEREST INCOME (CONTINUED) 14www.cassinfo.com / © 2025 Cass Information Systems + As can be seen in the graph below, the Company’s net interest margin has historically trended above the average 5-year UST. With the rise in short and long-term bond yields over the last 3-4 years, the yield on many of the Company’s fixed rate loans and investment securities is below current market interest rates. If mid and longer-term bond yields remain at or close to current levels, as the Company’s interest-earning assets mature and re-price to current market rates over the coming quarters and years, the Company’s NIM should benefit, thereby increasing net interest income.

PERSONNEL EXPENSE 15www.cassinfo.com / © 2025 Cass Information Systems + Salaries and commissions have declined in recent quarters as a result of a reduction in the average full- time employee count. + Employee profit sharing is tied to the overall level of net income. + The termination of the defined benefit pension plan resulted in a one-time non-cash expense of $3.5 million during Q4 2024. + Other benefits increased primarily due to higher health insurance costs. + Average FTEs declined 3.4% compared to 1Q2024 due to strategic investments in various technology initiatives.

NON-PERSONNEL EXPENSE 16www.cassinfo.com / © 2025 Cass Information Systems + Equipment expense has increased as a result of an increase in depreciation expense related to technology projects now in production. + Bad debt expense (recovery) relates to a full write-off of a funding receivable related to a facility client during 2Q2024 and 3Q2024 and a subsequent partial recovery in 1Q2025. + Other expense during Q2 2024 included $1.3 million of late fees incurred on facility transactions as described in the Q2 2024 earnings release.
