VersaBank: A Digital Banking Transformation
VBNK (new position): Canadian digital bank at 1x BV, 9x P/E transitioning to U.S. entity. RPP model (point-of-sale loan cash flows) scales zero-loss funding into 30x larger U.S. market at +150bps NIM vs Canada. Real Bank Tokenized Deposits (RBTD) pilot launching 2026 w/ regulatory tailwinds (GENIUS/CLARITY Acts). Conservative case: $13B RPP assets by 2031 = 30-60% earnings yield. Bull case: $100B+ RBTD deposits = 50x+ upside. DRT Cyber sale adds C$1-1.60/share. Founder-CEO owns 5%, 30yr track record, zero credit losses. U.S. expansion costs rolling off, index inclusion catalyst. Illiquidity discount from 40% concentrated ownership reversing. Base case 5x/35% IRR over 5yrs on RPP alone; RBTD optionality free.
