On November 23, 2020, Oportun Financial Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company has applied for a national bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"). Once formed, the proposed Oportun Bank, N.A. will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. If approved, Oportun Bank, N.A. will seek to serve customers in all 50 states with consumer lending and deposit services. In connection with this national bank charter application, the Company intends to file an application to become a bank holding company and will become subject to the regulation and supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. The Company also intends to submit an application for federal deposit insurance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in the attached press release provided pursuant to this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing. The furnishing of the information provided pursuant to this Item 7.01 is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or admission by the Company that the information provided pursuant to this Item 7.01 is material or complete, or that investors should consider such information before making an investment decision with respect to any security of the Company.
