Transcript: They discuss strategic investment in JAM FINTOP, partnership with NYDIG to enable Bitcoin transactions.

We will have an opportunity to acquire new customers and grow non-interest-bearing deposits while generating non-interest income. NYDIG access custodian, and executes the trades. The bank will not hold any Bitcoin or have any price risk." This is company offering Bitcoin to its customers via NYDIG. Is company inside someone else's next thing? No, it's using NYDIG as vendor. Not company being chosen by larger party. Also merger disruption: "We're benefiting from merger disruption as we've added 24 people... expect to add more as deals close and integration begins." That's hiring people from merging banks, not being designed into another's product. No. Question asks: management describe company has ALREADY BEEN CHOSEN, SPECIFIED, QUALIFIED, DESIGNED IN, OR LOCKED INTO POSITION INSIDE ANOTHER ORGANIZATION'S FUTURE PRODUCT...? No. They talk about their own initiatives. No. Answer NO.

CUBI · Q3 2018 → YESThe question is about whether management describes that the company has already been chosen or locked into another organization's future product/program, such that volume will come automatically when ...NO The transcript describes a white-label partnership with T-Mobile where BankMobile provides services under T-Mobile's brand, with deposits expected to start in the next year after the launch. However, this does not meet the criteria for a secured position inside T-Mobile's next product or program. The language focuses on a partnership relationship that is still being launched, rather than a design win or qualification already embedded in T-Mobile's future offering. Management refers to it as an "expected white label partnership" and "working on" the launch, indicating it is not yet locked in as part of T-Mobile's committed plan.
