6 Top Strategic Priorities • Strengthen Capital • With planned balance sheet reduction and retained earnings, we should approach capital targets by year-end 2017 • 7.0% TCE, 9.0% Tier 1 Leverage, 9.5% CET1, 11% Tier 1 Risk Based, and 13% Total Risk Based • Successful disposition of BankMobile in 2018 • Announced on October 19 plans to spin-off BankMobile to shareholders and then merge BankMobile into Flagship Community Bank in Mid-2018 • Current CUBI shareholders will receive approximately $110 million of newly issued, publicly traded, common equity in Flagship which equates to approximately $3.57 per share based on the current number of shares outstanding. The distribution is expected to be tax-free. • This plan includes strategically managing the balance sheet under $10 billion in assets at year-end to maintain the small-issuer exemption to the Durbin Amendment through June 30, 2019 • Improve financial performance • We target: an ROAA of ~1%; ROTCE >11%, NIM of 2.80% to 3.00%, 15% CAGR in EPS, and bank segment efficiency in the 40%s • Priorities include strong risk management, core deposit growth, a wider NIM, positive operating leverage, and carefully managed credit risk.

8 BankMobile Spin-off / Merger Key Steps CUBI Shareholders CUBI Customers Bank BankMobile Technologies (BMT) 1 4 32 Flagship Shareholders New Investors Flagship Flagship Raises Equity Event Target Date Sign a revised purchase and sale agreement with Flagship Community Bank 2017 Q4 Flagship raises new equity capital, and files an application with the FDIC to acquire BankMobile deposits 2017 Q4 Prepare SEC filings for spin-off of BankMobile Technologies (BMT) As of Sept 30, 2017 Customers has decided that it is prudent to manage total assets below $10 billion at December 31, 2017 December 31, 2017 Customers Bank dividends BMT to Customers Bancorp; Customers Bancorp dividends BMT to Customers’ shareholders holding shares on applicable record date Closing Date BMT merges into Flagship Community Bank; BMT shareholders receive newly issued shares of Flagship common stock in exchange for BMT shares Closing Date Deposits and associated earning assets are transferred from Customers Bank to Flagship Community Bank Closing Date Flagship changes name to BankMobile and lists on a national exchange Closing Date Key Steps in Spin-off / Merger


 
9 Why a Spin-off /Merger is the Best Option • Retention is costly. We would ideally keep BankMobile to develop further and benefit from low cost deposits, but the Durbin amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act limits interchange income for banks with assets over $10 billion. Customers would have to start charging significantly higher deposit fees to offset lost revenues, which is contrary to the BankMobile model, or else stay below $10 billion in assets. Either option makes retaining BankMobile unattractive. • Shareholders may not receive full value in a near-term sale. An outright sale forfeits shareholders’ ability to participate in potential future BankMobile valuation increases as the model is proven. A traditional sale would have to be to a company with an existing bank charter. Small banks can earn maximum revenues but may lack purchasing power. Large banks with purchasing power face the dilemma above. • A spin-off /merger maximizes financial, strategic, and structural goals. – In a spin-off /merger, Customers shareholders will receive ownership of over 50% of Flagship common shares with an estimated value of $110 million, or approximately $3.57 per share based on the current number of shares outstanding. – We expect this common stock will be exchange traded, giving investors the ability to monetize this asset. – Investors who chose to retain the stock may benefit from the potential upside from BankMobile’s growth and white label partnerships. • Already signed contract to provide white label banking services to customers of a major US retailer, which could drive significant DDA balance growth over time. – The transaction is expected to be tax free to Customers and shareholders. – Strategically, the merger with Flagship allows BankMobile to continue offering its attractive, low fee banking products to students and other low to middle income customers of BankMobile without limiting Customers’ growth potential.


 
10 Q3 2017 Highlights Source: Company data. Total may not equal sum of parts due to rounding • Q3 2017 Net Income to Common Shareholders of $4.1 million, and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share of $0.13 • Q3 2017 Net Income to Common Shareholders adjusted for notable items of $19.7 million, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Common Share of $0.61. Adjusted earnings are non-GAAP measures • The quarter exhibited strong credit quality, stable capital ratios, and tightly controlled community business banking segment expenses. Profitability this quarter was negatively impacted by the change in BankMobile disposition strategy, further deterioration in our investment in Religare Enterprises, reduction in the size of the balance sheet, and a flatter yield curve. Q3 Adjustments: • Shift to BankMobile spin-merge strategy triggered Q3 2017 changes of $10.4 million after tax, or $0.32 per diluted share • Religare Enterprises, Ltd. equity investment market decline resulted in tax effective charge of $5.2 million, or $0.16 per share. Carrying value of Religare Enterprises, Ltd shares was $2.3 million at September 30, 2017. • Q3 2017 Tangible Book Value Per Common Share (a non-GAAP measure) of $21.98 Up 9% from Q3 2016; Shareholders' Equity of $911 Million Increased 15.3% from September 30, 2016. Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets (a Non-GAAP Measure) was 6.47% at September 30, 2017 compared to 5.79% at September 30, 2016. • Customers' return on average assets was 0.29% and its return on average common equity was 2.33% in Q3 2017. • The adjusted return on average assets, which excludes notable items was 0.86% and the adjusted return on average common equity was 11.1% (both non-GAAP measures). GAAP vs. Adjusted EPS $0.63 $0.51 $0.67 $0.62 $0.13 $0.32 $0.23 $(0.05) $0.05 $0.16 $(0.10) $- $0.10 $0.20 $0.30 $0.40 $0.50 $0.60 $0.70 $0.80 3Q16 4Q16 1Q17 2Q17 3Q17 GAAP EPS BM Strategy Change Charges Religare Impairment $0.74 $0.61 $0.67 $0.62


 
11 Q3 2017 Highlights: Community Business Banking Segment Source: Company data EPS may not sum to total due to rounding Community Business Banking segment profits of $11.0 million ($0.34 per diluted share) • Adjusted Community Business Banking segment profits of $24.0 million ($0.74 per diluted share) (1) which includes $0.10 per diluted share of securities gains. Excluding securities gains, adjusted segment EPS declined primarily due to a narrower NIM (including a $1.4M drop in prepayments) higher costs, and decision to reduce balance sheet. • Q3 2017 Total Loans Up 9.0% YOY to $9.2 Billion, including 24.2% growth in C&I (excluding commercial loans to mortgage companies); Total Deposits Up 2.8% to $7.6 Billion, including 18% growth in non-interest bearing DDAs. • Non-Performing Loans to Total Loans only 0.33% and Reserves for Loan Losses 131% of Non-Performing Loans • Adjusted Community Business Banking segment efficiency ratio of 47%(1) *Includes Religare impairment, tax implications of spin/merge decision and securities gains Community Business Bank Segment EPS Community Business Banking Segment Income Statement 3Q16 4Q16 1Q17 2Q17 3Q17 Net-interest income $63.2 $61.7 $58.2 $65.9 $65.3 Provision for loan losses $0.2 $0.4 -$3.1 -$0.5 -$1.9 Non-interest income, excluding securities gains / impairment $11.1 $8.2 $7.1 $6.7 $7.2 Securities gains / impairment $0.0 -$7.3 -$1.7 $0.3 -$3.0 * Non-interest expense -$36.9 -$30.5 -$30.1 -$30.6 -$34.0 Income before tax expense $37.6 $32.4 $30.4 $41.7 $33.7 Income tax expense -$15.3 -$10.6 -$6.1 -$14.5 -$19.0 * Net income $22.4 $21.9 $24.3 $27.3 $14.7 Preferred stock dividends -$2.6 -$3.6 -$3.6 -$3.6 -$3.6 Net income available to common shareholders $19.8 $18.3 $20.7 $23.6 $11.0 (1) A Non-GAAP measure, see reconciliation at the end of this presentation $0.67 $0.58 $0.63 $0.66 $0.24 $0.06 $0.10 $0.24 $0.23 $(0.05) $0.05 $0.16 $(0.20) $- $0.20 $0.40 $0.60 $0.80 $1.00 3Q16 4Q16 1Q17 2Q17 3Q17 Religare Impairment BM Strategy Change Charges Securities Gains Bank Segment EPS, ex. Securities Gains $0.67 $0.81 $0.58 $0.78 $0.74


 
12 NIM Walk: 16 bps Compression in Q3, but Expect Expansion in Q4 In Q3: • NIM narrowed 16 bps sequentially, due largely to a drop in prepayments, increases in funding costs, and certain one-time items. • NIM pressure included sub debt issued in June 2017 ($100M at 3.95% contractual rate and 4.00% effective interest rate) and lower prepayment penalty income ($90,693 vs. $1.4 million in 2Q). Source: Company data Outlook: Wider in 2017 Q4; ~2.75% in 2018 • ~+5 bps increase in 2017 Q4 from higher prepayments, based on QTD activity • ~+5 bps increase in 2017 Q4 from September sale of $425 million of securities with a 150 bps spread • ~+2 bps from expected sale of $325M of loans with a 200 bps spread (only partial benefit in 2017 Q4).


 
13 Q3 2017 Highlights: BankMobile Segment Source: Company data BankMobile segment loss of $6.9 million (-$0.21 per diluted share) • The decision to spin/merge BankMobile resulted in $4.2 million of catch-up depreciation and amortization of expenses • Excluding this item, the BankMobile segment lost $4.3 million (- $0.13 per diluted share) • Assuming BankMobile was a stand-alone entity, it could have invested in assets yielding approximately 4%+, vs. the approximately 2% credit earned for use of funds as a business segment of Customers, which would improve operating results of the business. *Operating expenses include notable items of approximately $4.2 million due to change in BankMobile disposition strategy. Bank Mobile Segment EPS BankMobile Segment Income Statement 3Q16 4Q16 1Q17 2Q17 3Q17 Net-interest income $1.4 $2.5 $4.2 $2.7 $2.7 Provision for loan losses -$0.3 -$0.5 $0.0 $0.0 -$0.5 Non-interest income $16.4 $14.2 $17.3 $11.4 $13.8 Non-interest expense -$19.4 -$19.4 -$19.2 -$19.8 -$27.1 Income before tax -$1.9 -$3.3 $2.4 -$5.7 -$11.0 Income tax benefit (expense) $0.7 $1.3 -$0.9 $2.2 $4.1 Net income -$1.2 -$2.0 $1.5 -$3.5 -$6.9 $(0.21) $(0.04) $(0.06) $0.04 $(0.11) $(0.13) $(0.25) $(0.20) $(0.15) $(0.10) $(0.05) $- $0.05 $0.10 3Q16 4Q16 1Q17 2Q17 3Q17 GAAP BankMobile Segment EPS Catch-up and One Time Costs


 
14 Target Year-End Assets Below $10 Billion By staying under $10 billion in assets at December 31, 2017, we can continue to meet the small issuer exemption rules of the Durbin Amendment, ensuring BankMobile’s interchange revenue is not impacted until July 1, 2019 in the event that the Spin-off / Merger is not completed before June 30, 2018. • We plan to reduce end of period assets by approximately $500 million in 2017 Q4 • Reflecting the mortgage warehouse business seasonality, December 31, 2017 outstanding loan balances are expected to be approximately $200 million to $300 million lower than September 30, 2017 • We have reached agreements to sell approximately $250 million of residential mortgages and $75 million of multifamily loans before December 31, and may consider additional loan sales • We expect to grow C&I lending $50 million to $60 million in Q4 and limit multi-family growth • Sales from our $580 million investment securities portfolio will be executed as necessary to ensure we hit our goals • In 2018, we expect to resume balance sheet growth, and expect to end the year with approximately $11 billion in assets; with mortgage warehouse seasonality we could reach that level by mid-year.
