Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	NOTE 1 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Esquire Financial Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Esquire Bank, N.A, are collectively referred to as “the Company.” All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial information. In the opinion of management, the interim statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company on a consolidated basis and all such adjustments are recurring in nature. These financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any other period. Certain balances in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders’ equity. Risks and Uncertainties On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, a pandemic as a result of the global spread of the coronavirus illness. In response to the outbreak, federal and state authorities in the U.S. introduced various measures to try to limit or slow the spread of the virus, including travel restrictions, nonessential business closures, stay-at-home orders, and strict social distancing. The full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and rapidly evolving. We have implemented a customer payment deferral program (principal and interest) to assist business borrowers and certain consumers that may be experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 related challenges. These loans will continue to accrue interest during the deferral period unless otherwise classified as nonperforming. Consistent with regulatory guidance and the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), borrowers that were otherwise current on loan payments that were granted COVID-19 related financial hardship payment deferrals will continue to be reported as current loans during the deferral period and not evaluated as to whether they are troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”). There were no delinquent loans upon adoption of our payment deferral program. At March 31, 2021, the Company had nine borrowers in the COVID-19 payment deferral program with a total loan balance of $32.8 million. From a payment processing perspective, we have taken action to identify and assess our COVID-19 related credit exposure, primarily defined as merchant returns and chargebacks, by merchant industry type and category. These industry types include, but are not limited to, restaurants, hospitality, travel, and entertainment. We have also assessed the level and adequacy of our ISO and merchant reserves held on deposit at Esquire Bank. Currently, based on our assessments, we have not identified any elevated credit risk in these affected industry types and other categories and our returns and chargeback ratios remain relatively consistent with pre-COVID-19 levels. At this time, it is difficult to quantify the impact COVID-19 will have on future periods. This could cause the Company to experience a material adverse effect on our business operations, asset valuations, financial condition, and results of operations. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of an increase in the allowance for loan losses, valuation impairments on our investments or deferred tax assets. The Company has evaluated the impact of the effects of COVID-19 and determined that there were no material or systematic adverse impacts on the Company's first quarter 2021 Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statement of Income except for a continued elevated level of general provisioning for loan losses and related allowance for loan losses. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the date of issuance. Loss Contingencies Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. New Accounting Pronouncements On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (the ASU). This ASU replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, referred to as “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model. It will significantly change estimates for credit losses related to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans receivable and certain other contracts. This ASU will be effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-13 on or before January 1, 2023, using the required modified retrospective method with a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the reporting period. The Company has gathered the necessary data and continues to prepare for the implementation of this standard. On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for accounting related to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform and do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. ASU 2020-04 was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. Adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s operating results or financial condition.

CMOs, by virtue of the underlying residential collateral or structure, are fixed rate current pay sequentials or planned amortization classes (PACs). As actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay certain obligations, these securities are not considered to have a single maturity date. There were no sales or calls of securities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. At March 31, 2021, securities having a fair value of $114.2 million were pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) for borrowing capacity totaling $102.6 million. At December 31, 2020, securities having a fair value of $98.6 million were pledged to the FHLB for borrowing capacity totaling $93.8 million. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding FHLB advances. At March 31, 2021, securities having a fair value of $17.4 million were pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRB) for borrowing capacity totaling $17.0 million. At December 31, 2020, securities having a fair value of $19.1 million were pledged to the FRB for borrowing capacity totaling $18.7 million. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding FRB borrowings. The following table provides the gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of: Less Than 12 Months 12 Months or Longer Total Fair Gross Fair Gross Fair Gross (In thousands) March 31, 2021 Mortgage-backed securities – agency $ 62,647 $ (1,675) $ — $ — $ 62,647 $ (1,675) CMOs – agency 2,410 (15) 739 (2) 3,149 (17) Total temporarily impaired securities $ 65,057 $ (1,690) $ 739 $ (2) $ 65,796 $ (1,692) December 31, 2020 Mortgage-backed securities - agency $ 4,807 $ (49) $ — $ — $ 4,807 $ (49) CMOs - Agency 8,332 (17) 1,219 (9) 9,551 (26) Total temporarily impaired securities $ 13,139 $ (66) $ 1,219 $ (9) $ 14,358 $ (75) Management reviews the investment portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine the cause, magnitude and duration of declines in the fair value of each security. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI), management considers many factors including: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: (1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and (2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. The assessment of whether any other than temporary decline exists may involve a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time. Management evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. At March 31, 2021, securities in unrealized loss positions were issuances from government sponsored entities. Due to the decline in fair value being attributable to changes in interest rates, not credit quality and because the Company does not have the intent to sell the securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider the securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2021. No impairment charges were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed whenever a credit is extended, renewed or modified, or when an observable event occurs indicating a potential decline in credit quality, and no less than annually for large balance loans. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows: Pass Special Mention Substandard Doubtful (In thousands) March 31, 2021 1 – 4 family $ 42,341 $ 3,015 $ — $ — Commercial 350,245 17,977 8,444 — Multifamily 191,604 — 721 — Commercial real estate 50,707 3,751 — — Construction — — — — Consumer 28,257 4,663 2,271 — Total $ 663,154 $ 29,406 $ 11,436 $ — Pass Special Mention Substandard Doubtful (In thousands) December 31, 2020 1 – 4 family $ 45,418 $ 3,015 $ — $ — Commercial 358,295 — 115 — Multifamily 169,096 721 — — Commercial real estate 54,717 — — — Construction — — — — Consumer 34,896 4,163 2,303 — Total $ 662,422 $ 7,899 $ 2,418 $ — The Company considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses. For smaller dollar commercial and consumer loan classes, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented, and by payment activity. The Company has no loans identified as TDRs at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Furthermore, there were no loans modified during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 as TDRs. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. As discussed in Note 1, the Company implemented a payment deferral program in response to the COVID-19 crisis and elected to evaluate the modified loan population under the CARES Act which allows for troubled debt restructuring categorization to be suspended. Pledged Loans At March 31, 2021, loans totaling $37.4 million were pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York for borrowing capacity totaling $28.7 million. At December 31, 2020, loans totaling $37.5 million were pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York for borrowing capacity totaling $28.6 million.

Noninterest Income	NOTE 4 — Noninterest Income Descriptions of revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income as components of noninterest income, are as follows: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 (In thousands) Payment processing fees Payment processing income $ 5,167 $ 2,784 ACH income 203 172 Customer related fees and service charges Administrative service income 18 86 Other 76 79 Total noninterest income $ 5,464 $ 3,121 The Company has made no significant judgments in applying the revenue guidance prescribed in ASC 606 that affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from the above-described contracts with customers. ● Payment processing income – We provide payment processing services as an acquiring bank through the third-party or independent sales organization (ISO) business model in which we process credit and debit card transactions on behalf of merchants. We enter into a tri-party merchant agreement, between the Company, ISO and each merchant. The Company’s performance obligation is clearing and settling credit and debit transactions on behalf of the merchants. The Company recognizes revenue monthly once it summarizes and computes all revenue and expenses applicable to each ISO, which is our performance obligation. ● ACH income – We provide ACH services for merchants and other commercial customers. Contracts are entered into with third parties that require ACH transactions processed on behalf of their customers. Fees are variable and based on the volume of transactions within a given month. Our performance obligations are processing and settling ACHs on behalf of the customers. Our obligation is satisfied within each business day when the transactions (ACH files) are sent to the Federal Reserve Bank for clearing. Revenue is recognized based on the total volume of transactions processed that month for a given customer. ● Administrative service income – Administrative service income is derived primarily from the management of qualified settlement funds (QSFs), which are funds from settled mass torts and class action lawsuits. Our performance obligations with the QSFs are outlined in court approved orders which includes ensuring funds are invested into safe investment vehicles such as U.S. treasuries and FDIC insured products. Our fees for placing these funds in appropriate vehicles are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. ● Other – The other category includes revenue from service charges on deposit accounts, debit card fees, and certain loan related fees where revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

Share-Based Payment Plans	Mar. 31, 2021
Employee Benefits
Share-Based Payment Plans	NOTE 5 — Share-Based Payment Plans The Company issues incentive and nonqualified stock options and restricted stock awards to certain employees and directors pursuant to its equity incentive plans, which have been approved by the stockholders. Share-based awards are granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Under the plans, options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Options granted vest over three four The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on peer volatility. The Company uses peer data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted is based on peer data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The following table presents a summary of the activity related to options as of March 31, 2021: Weighted Weighted Average Average Remaining Exercise Contractual Options Price Life (Years) March 31, 2021 Outstanding at beginning of year 907,099 $ 14.11 Granted — — Exercised (76,801) 12.76 Forfeited — — Expired (166) 24.90 Outstanding at period end 830,132 $ 14.23 5.52 Vested or expected to vest 830,132 $ 14.23 5.52 Exercisable at period end 696,751 $ 13.44 5.06 The Company recognized compensation expense related to options of $134 thousand and $132 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. At March 31, 2021, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options was approximately $813 thousand and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.27 years. The intrinsic value for outstanding options and for options vested or expected to vest was $7.2 million and $6.6 million for exercisable options at March 31, 2021. Information related to stock option exercises during each period is as follows: For the three months ended March 31, 2021 2020 (In thousands) Intrinsic value of options exercised $ 861 $ 878 Cash received from option exercises 10 290 Tax benefit from option exercises 164 77 The following table presents a summary of the activity related to restricted stock as of March 31, 2021: Weighted Average Grant Date Shares Fair Value March 31, 2021 Outstanding at beginning of year 380,750 $ 22.87 Granted — — Vested — — Outstanding at period end 380,750 $ 22.87 The Company recognized compensation expense related to restricted stock of $357 thousand and $256 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, there was $6.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares granted under the plan.

Leases
Leases	NOTE 7 — Leases As of January 1, 2019, the Company recognizes the present value of its operating lease payments related to its office facilities and retail branch as operating lease assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and the lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. As these leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate, the rate of interest to borrow on a collateralized basis for a similar term, at the lease commencement date in order to determine present value. Short-term lease payments, those leases with original terms of 12 months or less, are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain leases may include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at the Company’s discretion and are included in the operating lease liability if it is reasonably certain that the renewal option will be exercised. Certain real estate leases may contain lease and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance charges, real estate taxes, and insurance, which are generally accounted for separately and are not included in the measurement of the lease liability since they are generally able to be segregated. The Company does not sublease any of its leased properties and does not lease properties from any related parties. As of March 31, 2021, right of use (“ROU”) lease assets liabilities assets liabilities Maturities of the Company’s operating lease liabilities at March 31, 2021 are as follows: Operating Lease Liabilities (In thousands) 2021 $ 486 2022 644 2023 636 2024 652 2025 668 Thereafter 627 Total operating lease payments $ 3,713 Less: interest 313 Present value of operating lease liabilities $ 3,400 As of March 31, 2021 2020 Weighted-average remaining lease term 5.59 years 6.65 years Weighted-average discount rate 3.04 % 3.10 % The components of total lease cost are as follows: For the three months ended March 31, 2021 2020 (In thousands) Operating lease cost $ 142 $ 132 Short-term lease cost — 8 Total lease cost $ 142 $ 140 Cash paid for operating lease liabilities was $159 thousand and $132 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Esquire Financial Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Esquire Bank, N.A, are collectively referred to as “the Company.” All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial information. In the opinion of management, the interim statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company on a consolidated basis and all such adjustments are recurring in nature. These financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any other period. Certain balances in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders’ equity.
Risks and Uncertainties	Risks and Uncertainties On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, a pandemic as a result of the global spread of the coronavirus illness. In response to the outbreak, federal and state authorities in the U.S. introduced various measures to try to limit or slow the spread of the virus, including travel restrictions, nonessential business closures, stay-at-home orders, and strict social distancing. The full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and rapidly evolving. We have implemented a customer payment deferral program (principal and interest) to assist business borrowers and certain consumers that may be experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 related challenges. These loans will continue to accrue interest during the deferral period unless otherwise classified as nonperforming. Consistent with regulatory guidance and the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), borrowers that were otherwise current on loan payments that were granted COVID-19 related financial hardship payment deferrals will continue to be reported as current loans during the deferral period and not evaluated as to whether they are troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”). There were no delinquent loans upon adoption of our payment deferral program. At March 31, 2021, the Company had nine borrowers in the COVID-19 payment deferral program with a total loan balance of $32.8 million. From a payment processing perspective, we have taken action to identify and assess our COVID-19 related credit exposure, primarily defined as merchant returns and chargebacks, by merchant industry type and category. These industry types include, but are not limited to, restaurants, hospitality, travel, and entertainment. We have also assessed the level and adequacy of our ISO and merchant reserves held on deposit at Esquire Bank. Currently, based on our assessments, we have not identified any elevated credit risk in these affected industry types and other categories and our returns and chargeback ratios remain relatively consistent with pre-COVID-19 levels. At this time, it is difficult to quantify the impact COVID-19 will have on future periods. This could cause the Company to experience a material adverse effect on our business operations, asset valuations, financial condition, and results of operations. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of an increase in the allowance for loan losses, valuation impairments on our investments or deferred tax assets. The Company has evaluated the impact of the effects of COVID-19 and determined that there were no material or systematic adverse impacts on the Company's first quarter 2021 Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statement of Income except for a continued elevated level of general provisioning for loan losses and related allowance for loan losses.
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the date of issuance.
Loss Contingencies	Loss Contingencies Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (the ASU). This ASU replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, referred to as “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model. It will significantly change estimates for credit losses related to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans receivable and certain other contracts. This ASU will be effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-13 on or before January 1, 2023, using the required modified retrospective method with a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the reporting period. The Company has gathered the necessary data and continues to prepare for the implementation of this standard. On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for accounting related to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform and do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. ASU 2020-04 was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. Adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s operating results or financial condition.
