Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

The Company has been advised by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) that the FDIC has concluded that certain prepaid accounts, including general purpose prepaid cards, should be reported as brokered deposits. As reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, this determination will result in a surcharge  in the FDIC insurance premium payable by the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, the Bancorp Bank, of 10 basis points applied against average liabilities. This surcharge will in the future terminate, depending upon the FDIC’s evaluation of the Bank. The Bank’s capital ratios are unaffected by this reclassification of deposits.
