The Bancorp, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2008 Earnings

Wilmington, De – April 28, 2008—The Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp") (Nasdaq NM: TBBK), a bank holding company, today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Betsy Z. Cohen, Bancorp's Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the first full quarter of operations after the acquisition of Stored Value Solutions ("SVS"), significant opportunities were identified, many of which have been consummated and which we expect will impact Bancorp in the second and third quarters of 2008. Additionally, average deposits generated by SVS were $173 million, approximately 10% above our estimate, at an average cost of 172 bps. However, our first quarter results were impacted significantly by the timing of the steep and immediate decline in asset yields as a result of the Federal Reserve Board’s lowering of interest rates in contrast to the lagging re-pricing of deposit costs. These factors put downward pressure on the net interest margin in the short term. We anticipate that the net interest margin will rebound over the coming quarters as deposit costs re-price. Further, as part of our desire to build the loan loss reserve coverage ratio throughout 2008, the provision in the quarter was increased by $600,000.”

Bancorp reported net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $2.8 million, or $0.19 diluted earnings per share, based on diluted shares of 14,669,003, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $2.9 million, or $0.20 diluted earnings per share, based on diluted shares of 14,382,223, for the three months ended December 31, 2007.

Bancorp reported net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $2.8 million, or $0.19 diluted earnings per share, based on diluted shares of 14,669,003, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $3.5 million, or $0.25 diluted earnings per share, based on diluted shares of 14,417,329, for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

At March 31, 2008, Bancorp's total assets were $1.6 billion, an increase of $253.2 million or 18.2% from March 31, 2007 and an increase of $79.1 million or 5.0% from December 31, 2007.
