(1)	prepare, execute in the Reporting Person?s name and on the Reporting
	Person?s behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
	Commission (the ?SEC?) a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any
	other documents necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords
	enabling the Reporting Person to make electronic filings with the SEC of
	reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
	the rules thereunder or any rule or regulation of the SEC;

	Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the ?Company?), Forms 3, 4
	and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
	1934 and the rules thereunder, and any other forms or reports the Reporting
	Person may be required to file in connection with the Reporting Person?s
	ownership, acquisition, or disposition of securities of the Company;

(3)	do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the Reporting Person
	which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form
	3, 4 or 5, or other form or report, and timely file such form or report
	with the SEC and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

(4)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
	foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit
	to, and in the best interest of, or legally required by, the Reporting
	Person, it being understood that the documents executed by such
	attorney-in-fact on behalf of the Reporting Person pursuant to this
	Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
	conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact?s
	discretion.

The Reporting Person hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power
and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever
requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the
rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the
Reporting Person might or could do if personally present, with full power of
substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact?s substitute or substitutes, shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this power of attorney and the
rights and powers herein granted.  The Reporting Person acknowledges that the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of
the Reporting Person, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of
the Reporting Person?s responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
Reporting Person is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect
to the Reporting Person?s holdings of and transactions in securities issued
by the Company, unless earlier revoked by the Reporting Person in a signed
writing delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Reporting Person has caused this Power of Attorney
to be executed as of this 12th day of October, 2020.
