SEC Filing Summary: The Bancorp, Inc. (TBBK)
Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K was filed on March 4, 2025, by The Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The report addresses a critical governance and disclosure issue regarding the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was inappropriately filed on March 3, 2025.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The document focuses exclusively on the procedural status of the audit opinions rather than financial performance data.
Material Changes and Non-Reliance Notice
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has concluded that the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, as presented in the previously filed Annual Report, should no longer be relied upon. This determination was made because:
- Crowe LLP (current auditor) did not provide final approval for the audit opinion regarding the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, nor consent to its incorporation by reference.
- Grant Thornton LLP (prior auditor) did not provide approval for audit opinions regarding the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, nor consent to their incorporation by reference.
The root cause is identified as incomplete closing procedures related to the accounting for consumer fintech loans within the allowance for credit losses.
Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
Management is working expeditiously to complete the necessary accounting procedures and file an amended Annual Report (Form 10-K/A) to include the required audit opinions and consents for the 2022-2024 periods. The company is currently evaluating the impact of this non-reliance on its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting. The primary risk is the temporary inability of investors to rely on the previously issued financial statements.
Key Facts for Investor Verification

- Monitor updates regarding the specific adjustments to the allowance for credit losses related to consumer fintech loans.
