18. Operating segmentation:

The Bank has established four reportable operating segments: Digital Banking Canada, Digital Banking USA, DRTC, and Digital Meteor. These four operating segments represent strategic business operations that provide distinct products and services to different markets. They are separately managed due to the differences in the nature of each business. The following summarizes the operations of each of the reportable segments:

Digital Banking Canada - The Bank employs a business-to-business model using its proprietary financial technology to address underserved segments in the Canadian banking market. VersaBank obtains its deposits and provides the majority of its credit assets electronically via innovative deposit and lending solutions for financial intermediaries.

Digital Banking USA - The Bank has adopted a business-to-business model, leveraging its proprietary financial technology to address underserved segments of the US banking market. VersaBank USA obtains its deposits and delivers the majority of its credit assets electronically through innovative deposit and lending solutions tailored for financial intermediaries.

DRTC (cybersecurity services and banking and financial technology development) - Leveraging its internally developed IT security software and capabilities, VersaBank established a wholly owned subsidiary, DRTC, to pursue significant large-market opportunities in cybersecurity and to develop innovative solutions to address the rapidly growing volume of cyber threats challenging financial institutions, multi-national corporations and government entities.

Digital Meteor - Through its wholly owned subsidiary, DRTC, VersaBank owns proprietary intellectual property and technology to enable the next generation of digital assets by the banking and financial community, including the Bank’s revolutionary Real Bank Tokenized Deposits™ (“RBTD”s™) (formerly known as Real Bank Deposit Tokens (“RBDT”) and Digital Deposit Receipts (“DDR”)). Digital Meteor operates as a business segment within DRTC.

The basis for the determination of the reportable segments is a function primarily of the systematic, consistent process employed by the Bank’s chief operating decision maker, the President, and the Chief Financial Officer, in reviewing and interpreting the operations and performance of each segment. The accounting policies applied to these segments are consistent with those employed in the preparation of the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements, as disclosed in note 3 of the Bank’s 2025 audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Performance is measured based on segment net income, as included in the Bank’s internal management reporting. Management has determined that this measure is the most relevant in evaluating segment results and in the allocation of resources.
