We plan to follow with a limited number of new branches added to our private banking offices over next 2-3 years 3.

RATES ARE ON THE RISE The Fed has raised short-term rates 200 bps since late 2015. The consensus view is for another increase this year (4 total) and 2-3 more increases in 2019, but the Federal Reserve’s Dot Plot suggests it could be more. 2.2502.0001.7501.500 2.500 2.750 3.000 3.250 3.500 Market Expectations FOMC Projections Fed Funds Expectations 18

STRATEGIES TO MANAGE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT Our Strategies Continue to take advantage of our unique lower distribution costs with emphasis on digitizing the entire bank, build on our branch lite model, with positive operating leverageFocus on strategies for significant deposit growth at a lower cost; continue to be laser focused on risk management Manage the balance sheet for higher rates, but also evaluate the risks of lower ratesAcquisitions can add value, but need to be both financial and strategic in this environmentWe are focused on organic growthWould consider acquisitions selectively of solid teams in high growth markets if opportunities presented themselves at the right price.We will leverage existing strategies (CB Private & Commercial, CB Direct, BankMobile) to find short- term and long-term value where others don’t see it. 21
WHAT’S NEXT?HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR 3 YEAR PLAN 22 Our spin-merge plans are on hold, we expect to keep BankMobile for the next 2-3 years.Decision reflects complications with regulatory process for spin/merge, and the value we expect from the launch of our first White Label partnerBankMobile’s future is bright, its new “White Label” partnership is expected to be launched soon and we are excited about its prospects as part of Customers BancorpWe will continue to annually evaluate the best option for BankMobile We will stay below $10 billion in assets while growing our core businesses.We will continue to grow our 3 core businesses: CB Private and Commercial Banking, CB Digital Direct Banking, and BankMobileOther non-core, areas will decline to make space, namely Multifamily and high rate non-core deposits and borrowings
WHAT’S NEXT?HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR 3 YEAR PLAN (Cont.) 23 We will strengthen our balance sheet and improve profitability1. With a smaller balance sheet and BankMobile’s core deposit growth, we expect to significantly improve our funding mix, deposit cost, net interest margin, liquidity, capital ratios, and profitability We will focus on digitization of the bank and serving our customersWithin 3-5 years, we aspire to become a bank with an ROA of 1.25%+, TCE ratio>7.0%, a strong core deposit franchise and very unique “Bank of Future” strategies, improving franchise value.
Our Strategy to Position CUBI for the Future October 2018
1. Focus on the digitization of all three operating lines of business 2. Continue to build “CB Private and Commercial Banking,” “Direct Digital Bank,” and BankMobile while deemphasizing non-core businesses Embrace a virtuous competitive cycleDifferentiation must be based on delivery of service and measurable client satisfactionNew pricing models, with bundling, and personalized products, specifically for the consumer Pricing that is aligned with value to the client •Traditional banks will be unable to do this due to heavy cost of distribution networks 6. Build out BaaS (Banking as a Service). Intermediaries are very critical for success in a digital world 25 Overall Strategies to Position for the Future Our High Level Strategies
CONSOLIDATED BANCORP CAPITAL We target a Tangible Common Equity Ratio Greater than 7% and expect to be around 7.5% by year-end. 1. Today we have more preferred equity than peers, meaning that while CET1 and TCE ratios are narrower than peers, other regulatory capital ratios are closer. At the right price, we could call preferred and/or replace with common in an EPS accretive transaction once preferred can be called. 2. Tangible Common Equity / Tangible Assets is not a regulatory capital measure, but we understand it is important to equity investors and so we target a ratio above 7%. We expect that we will be there by year- end. 3. Share repurchases would be an accretive option.

SPECIFIC STRATEGIES: CORE DEPOSITS GROWTH We are targeting a stronger mix of core deposit funding.Q3 Trends:Strong deposit growth of $1.2B just in Q3 2018 resulted from deliberate efforts to grow now to build up deposits ahead of future rate hikes, which was reflected in a large Q3 deposit beta. Deposit beta should be lower in Q4 and will benefit in 2019 as BankMobile’s White Label partnership takes off.Today, bank borrowings are only about $0.4 billion down $500 million from $0.9 billion at September 30, 2018 30
We are targeting a stronger mix of core deposit funding.Q4 2018, 2019, and beyondBankMobile is expected to contribute at least $500M of low cost deposit growth annually starting in 2019We currently have just over $700M of deposits with a cost over 2.5% which we plan to run off and replace with low cost depositsDigital direct to consumer deposit channel – we target over $350M by year-endOther franchise deposit growth will continue – could be another $250 million+ during Q4 2018Smaller balance sheet reduces need for non-core institutional and municipal fundingWe will continue to challenge business units to grow lower cost core deposits SPECIFIC STRATEGIES:CORE DEPOSITS GROWTH (Cont.) 31
SPECIFIC STRATEGY: CORE LOAN GROWTHWe are targeting a stronger mix of higher yielding loans. As we maintain a $10 billion balance sheet, the focus will be on growing our best portfolios (fund C&I and consumer loan growth with Multifamily runoff). $0.6 $0.9 $1.0 $1.3 $1.3 $1.3 $1.1 $2.3 $2.9 $3.2 $3.6 $3.5 $1.3 $2.1 $2.9 $3.5 $3.4 $3.4 $0.3 $0.4 $0.4 $0.6 4.26% 3.88% 3.76% 3.81%$0.3 3.98%$0.3 4.38% 5.0%4.5%4.0%3.5%3.0%2.5%2.0%1.5%1.0%0.5%0.0% $0 $2 $4 $6 $8 $10 $12 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Q2 2018 Yield on Loans Loans ($ in Billions) Non-Owner Occupied CRE Mult i Family l oans Commer cial Consumer & Residenti al Yield on LoansSource: Company Data Loan Growth 32
SPECIFIC STRATEGY: STRONGER LIQUIDITY FROM CORE DEPOSIT & LOAN GROWTH 1. With very strong deposit growth in Q3, our core loan to deposit ratio is now down to 84% 2. We view mortgage warehouse business as a better option to holding liquid investments 103% 84% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Total Loans /Deposits 0% 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Q3 2018 33 Loans Ex. Warehouse / Deposits Warehouse loans are classified as “held for sale”.Source: Company Data
Our long-term NIM target is 2.75%+; it will take 12-18 months to get there through remixing our balance sheet 34 SPECIFIC STRATEGY: NIM EXPANSION GOALS 1. Robust core deposit growth in Q3 reflected our focus on building a base prior to future Fed rate increases; however, was reflected in higher deposit and borrowing costs (our deposit beta in Q3 was approximately 100%) 2. Approximately 4-5 bps reduction from lower prepayments 3. 4-5 bps pressure from mortgage warehouse seasonally lower balances 4. A couple bps pressure from cash buildup given late August securities sale Q3 NIM remained under pressure 1. August securities sale (we sold approximately$495 million in late August with a yield of 2.67%) 2. October exit of borrowings ($500M at 2.85% cost) 3. Asset mix shift away from Multifamily 4. Core deposit growth, particularly BankMobile non- interest bearing deposits will accelerate … but we expect this to be a troughWe expect to be at our goal by the end of 2019 given:
Our long-term NIM target is 2.75%+. It will take12-18 months to get there through remixing our balance sheet 35 NIM EXPANSION STRATEGIES We like the asset class, but not the spreads today. We expect to always maintain around $1 billion or 10% of assets We have been incentivizing loans to refinance off our balance sheet Will explore opportunities to securitize in the future – it would make sense to monetize our relationships and experience to generate fee income. It will likely take us 6-12 months to evaluate this option. We are reducing our exposure to lower yielding assets while emphasizing C&I lending Multifamily lendingExpect Multifamily loan balances to end 2018 around$3.3B, and to continue to trend lower over time. We will limit consumer loans to 15% to 20% of our total balance sheet – our goal is to remain predominantly a small business bank We will not do subprime lending We are also increasing our exposure to higher yielding assets and diversifying our loan portfolio Consumer lendingWe will add high quality consumer loans to our balance sheet
NIM EXPANSION STRATEGIES 36 We recently sold securities and used the proceeds to repay borrowingsSecurities Portfolio •• At the end of August, we sold $495 million of securities with a yield of 2.67% and a weighted average life of 7 years, at an after-tax loss of $14.2MToday, our pre-tax loss would have been ~$10 million higherProceeds were used to repay borrowings in early October with a weighted average cost of 2.85% Our view on securities • • • In the current environment, we don’t like the risk / return of a traditional MBS / CMBS securities portfolio – yields are just too low and duration risk is highWe consider our mortgage warehouse business, which would liquidate quickly in a crisis as an alternate source of liquidity.Our Multifamily portfolio is another high quality asset with significantly better yields than securities • Other banks have been replacing securities with loans; you can expect us to replace Multifamily loans with higher yielding loans Our view on New York Multifamily Loans •• We like the asset class; we just don’t like the competitive pricing pressure and risk from a flatter yield curve We will keep about 10% of our assets in high quality Multifamily loans
Our long-term NIM target is 2.75%+. It will take12-18 months to get there through remixing our balance sheet NIM EXPANSION STRATEGIES We are improving our funding mix as we replace higher cost funding with lower cost core deposits from BankMobile, our Digital Direct Bank, and core business units Demand, $1.6 Demand, $2.2 MMKT / Savings, $3.3 MMKT / Savings, $3.9 CDs, $1.9 CDs, $2.4 $9.0$8.0$7.0$6.0$5.0$4.0$3.0$2.0$1.0$- Q3 2018 Billions Q4 2017Demand MMKT / Savings CDs +25% +19% +38% YTD Deposit Growth 37 Source: Company Data
NIM DIRECTION OF THE INDUSTRY Industry NIM is under secular pressure We are improving our funding mix as we replace higher cost funding with lower cost core deposits from BankMobile, our Digital Direct Bank, and core business units • We are working to expand our NIM, in contrast with broader industry trends. You will see lower deposit betas and higher loan betas.

OUR STRATEGY: IMPROVE PROFITABILITY 39 We target an ROAA of 1.25% + over a 3-5 year period Target top quartile of peer group – today that equates to 1.17%, but we know it is headed higherWe expect that the shift in asset and funding mix will drive a wider NIM at the core banking operationsAs BankMobile’s growth accelerates, it has ROA potential that is greater than Customers Bank, given significant non- interest bearing deposit balances and fee income. The shift from BankMobile as a drag to BankMobile as a lift, which is expected to begin in mid-2019, should raise consolidated profitability We will remained focused on expense control and positive operating leverageWe will also look for opportunities to grow fee income. Expect to enter wealth management by 12/31/19All these factors should push consolidated ROAA and ROTCE higher and efficiency lowerOur ROAA target and capital targets equate to a double digit ROTCEWe will consider capital deployment through share repurchases and redeeming preferred stock
OUR STRATEGY: IMPROVE PROFITABILITY 40 With a cap on balance sheet size, we are looking very closely at costsWe expect to have deminimus growth in CB Private and Commercial banking expenseGrowth in costs at the digital bank and BankMobile will be tied to their growing contributionConsolidated efficiency should move lower as our first White Label partner comes online and BankMobile begins to have a more meaningful contribution to the overall business
OUR STRATEGY: DIGITAL FOCUS We will continue to be a leader in the industry’s shift to digital There is a major initiative throughout the company to digitize not only the front end but the entire operation that supports the front endWe hold quarterly discussions with our tech partners at FIS to see how to partner with them to achieve our goalsConsistent with our view of a virtuous cycle, of improving costs, customer experience and revenues, all simultaneouslyWe want to be in the business of providing customized customer experiences, but we are not there yetUse of machine learning and artificial intelligencewill help us to make intelligent, and quicker decisionsWe will partner with FinTech companies where we can to be sure we can have the same capabilities as bigger banks without their technology budgets 41

TRADITIONAL BANKS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO ADDRESS CHANGING CONSUMER NEEDS AND ABANDON INEFFICIENT BRANCH MODEL . . . Customers are 3x more likely to use mobile banking than to visit a bank branch(1)Banks on average open ONLY 1 net new checking account per branch per week – very inefficient model(2)~40% of millennials would consider banking with a branchless bank(3)Consumers are now interacting with their banks more through mobile devices than any other channel(4)Digital banks are expected to provide access to affordable banking to millions of Americans, resulting in eventually disrupting the traditional banking revenues significantlyOver 10% of the consumer banking revenues expected to come from digital banking models in 2020 versus only 1% today(3)BankMobile provides better products than traditional banks offer, but with no brick and mortar branches(5) and few fees. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, “Consumer and Mobile Financial Services 2016”, March 2016.

Unique technology, contractual relationships, and Durbin create barriers to entry 4. Long-term profitability better than traditional banks
1. Unique and exponentially better customer acquisition strategy • Banks on average open ONLY 1 net new checking account per branch per week – very inefficient model • Here is how BankMobile is operating today: -- - - 1 in every 3 college students in the country go through our digital “branches”(1) Through our student channel we are opening ~300,000 new checking accounts annuallyWe expect to open an additional 150K-500K or more new checking accounts each year through our White Label partnershipsBankMobile has an extremely low-cost customer acquisition cost at $19(2) versus$100 – $400 for traditional banks(2) (1)Source: Company’s internal sales database and estimated student market size (2)See appendix for additional details Critical success factors 83
2. Customer engagement and customer for life profitability strategy Critical success factors 84
Recent focus in the student / disbursement business Recovering from Department of Education Ban - - - Proactive carding ban dropped adoption rate to historical low of ~19%; this took away ~$20 million in non-interest revenues from BankMobile.Through brand awareness, marketing campaigns, and product suite enhancements we have driven adoption up to 25% todayWe plan to make the student business profitable by the end of 2019 • Record Sales Year in 2018 – Best year in the history of the company --- Sold 56 new schools bringing in 570,793 new SSEs YTD Expecting another ~120K by year endThis builds higher sales and higher revenues going forward • Expanded Product Offering -- Introduced savings account, interest bearing checking account, personal loans in Q2 and Q3 2018 Since May 2018, we have opened 85,663 savings accounts •• Eliminated over $100 million in bank fees for our student customers since we took over the business in 2016 Product offering is easy to use, transparent, affordable, and creates an emotional connection Critical success factors 85
Spent significantly in R&D, technology and product development for White LabelExpected to be a very customer friendly product offeringWe will have more to share later this year 86 Banking as a ServiceBesides student disbursements, our biggest focus over the last two years has been the development of “Banking as a Service” model BaaS and T-Mobile Critical success factors

4. Long-term profitability better than traditional banks •••• 2% or higher ROA which is significantly better than traditional banksUniqueness of Durbin – a significant competitive advantage that benefits our partners and our customersHigh volume and Low cost customer acquisition - $19 for BankMobile student business versus $100 – $400 for traditional banks A very unique offering to potentially attract millions of consumers for primary checking accounts and building potentially billions of no to very low cost stable deposits Critical success factors 88

117 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Unaudited Customers believes that the non-GAAP measurements disclosed within this document are useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate our results of operations and financial condition relative to other financial institutions. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude from corresponding GAAP measures the impact of certain elements that we do not believe are representative of our financial results, which we believe enhance an overall understanding of our performance. Investors should consider our performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing our performance or financial condition.
