specifically identifying and discussing any relationships with other financial institutions
that have materially contributed to this revenue stream. Additionally, please tell us and
revise future filings to quantify and discuss the account hosting expenses related to any
material agreements with other financial institutions similar to the way in which you

you have entered into a Commercial Alliance Agreement with each partner financial
institution that sets forth the terms and conditions of the lending-related services
governing the relationship between the Company and each partner financial institution
with regard to the CRB deposit accounts. To the extent you have entered into material

institutions in addition to PCCU, please revise future filings to include these agreements
as exhibits.

3.We note your disclosure on page F-9 that the Company indemnified twenty loans as of
December 31, 2023; of which three of these indemnified loans were in excess of 10% of
the total balance. In order to provide investors with a better understanding of your
indemnified loan portfolio, please provide us with, and revise future filings to include, a
further breakdown including quantification of any material property type, collateral type,
or geographic concentrations within the United States as well as the weighted average
and/or range of loan to value ratios for any real estate collateral.

Commercial Alliance Agreement. Please provide us with, and revise future filings to
include, the underlying reasons for this clause, the potential ramifications of not

including a detailed discussion explaining how the liquidation or foreclosure process
would occur upon default of a loan.
