History

BofI Holdings, Inc. (BofI) was incorporated in Delaware in 1999 for the purpose of organizing and opening an Internet-based bank.[14] After designing and implementing a platform for deposit accounts and loans, it formed the Bank of Internet in 2000 to provide online banking services to its customers.[14]

In 2001, BofI began issuing and selling unregistered securities in the form of common-stock options to consultants, directors, and employees in order to "improve operations and increase profits."[15] In 2003, it began offering preferred stock to select investors.[14] A 2004 stock incentive program provided an additional opportunity for consultants, directors, and employees to invest in BofI.[16]

2005 to 2009

According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, BofI began publicly trading common stock on the NASDAQ National Market on March 15, 2005.[17] It offered 3,052,745 shares of common stock at an initial public offering price of $11.50.[18] On its first day of trading, BofI's stock opened at $11.55 and closed at $11.50.[19]

Its net income rose from $1.0 million to $2.9 million over the same period. By October 2007, BofI announced that it had total assets of over $1 billion.[18]

2010 to 2014

Seeking Alpha contributor Andrew August recognized BofI's continued growth in 2011, stating "[t]he company also holds a portfolio of residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) valued at $561 [million]…the real estate market backing them would have to absolutely crumble for them to take a hit."[20]

In 2012, the company had assets in excess of $2.2 billion.[21] In June of the same year, BofI was added to the NASDAQ's OMX AMA Community Bank Index (NASDAQ: ABQI), which serves as a benchmark for other banks.[14] Shortly after, Zachs.com rated BofI a strong buy in August 2012 as its stock traded above $22.00.[22]

In 2014, BofI reached an agreement with H&R Block, Inc. to act as the bank for H&R Block's branded financial service products including Emerald Prepaid MasterCard®, Refund Transfers, and Emerald Advance® lines of credit through H&R Block's retail and digital channels.[23] That same year, its flagship consumer brand Bank of Internet USA's Rewards Checking account was named one of "The 5 Best Online Checking Accounts of 2014" by GoBankingRates.com.[24]
