Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to VersaBank's first quarter fiscal 2021 financial results conference call. This morning, VersaBank issued a news release reporting its financial results for the first quarter ended January 31st, 2021. That news release, along with the bank's financial statements and supplemental financial information, are available on the bank's website in the investor relations section, as well as on SEDAR. Please note, in addition to the telephone dial-in, VersaBank is webcasting its earnings conference call over the Internet. The webcast is listen only. If you are listening to the webcast but wish to ask a question in the Q&A section following Mr. Taylor's presentation, please dial into the conference line, the details of which are included in this morning's news release and on the bank's website. For those participating in today's call by telephone, the accompanying slide presentation is available on the bank's website. Also, today's call will be archived for replay, both by telephone and via the Internet, beginning approximately one hour following completion of the call. Details on how to access the replays are available in this morning's news release. I would like to remind our listeners that statements about future events made on this call are forward-looking in nature and are based on certain assumptions and analysis made by VersaBank's management. Actual results could differ materially from our expectations due to various material risks and uncertainties associated with VersaBank's businesses. Please refer to VersaBank's Forward-Looking Statement Advisory in today's presentation. I would now like to turn the call over to David Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer of VersaBank. Please go ahead, Mr. Taylor. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for today's call. With me, once again by telephone conference as we continue to work remotely, are Shawn Clarke, our Chief Financial Officer, Aly Lalani, Treasurer, and Brent Hodge, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. The first quarter was an outstanding start for 2021 for VersaBank, not only in terms of financial results, but also in terms of what the first quarter means for our future trajectory. Our core digital banking operations delivered a number of record results. Notably, we delivered near record net income, just a smidge behind our historic high. That was mainly due to the fact that even with the rapid redeployment of cash amidst the fastest growth in our history, our average cash balance during Q1 was still higher than pre-pandemic levels following our cautionary stance at the beginning of the pandemic. Q1 was also a landmark quarter in that it includes the first financial contribution from Digital Boundary Group, the leading North American cybersecurity penetration testing operation that we acquired via our wholly owned Washington, D.C.-based subsidiary, DRT Cyber, in November. DBG is experiencing significant organic growth in its business and provides considerable additional opportunities as we start to leverage the business development and revenue synergies of DRT Cyber. I'll talk more about this in a few minutes. On our last call, I talked about the significant momentum in our digital banking operations as the combination of our redeployment of cash and the high market demand for financing in certain sectors of the economy were driving record loan growth as we continued our lower cost of funds. As a result we did in the first quarter, we again saw very strong sequential growth across all our key financial metrics, and year-over-year growth in most. Net interest income increased 5% sequentially and 6% year-over-year to CAD 14.4 million. When the non-interest income contributed by Digital Boundary Group is added in, total revenue increased 14% on a year-on-year and 12% sequentially to a record CAD 15.4 million. Cost of funds decreased by 46 basis points year-over-year and nine basis points sequentially to a record 1.42%. Net interest margin increased sequentially to 2.86%, although it was lower year-on-year due to the still elevated cash balances. As I did last quarter, I'll provide perspective that if we had maintained our cash balances at our historic levels, net interest margin would have been higher by approximately 13 basis points at 2.99%. Net income increased 3% on a year-on-year and 11% sequentially to CAD 5.3 million, or CAD 0.22 per share, the third highest in our history. Core cash earnings increased 3% year-on-year and 11% sequentially to CAD 7.3 million, or CAD 0.34 per share. Turning to the balance sheet, you can see the continued growth in our total assets, which reached just over CAD 2 billion at the end of the quarter, up 5% sequentially and 10% year-over-year. Our cash balance, including liquid securities at the end of the first quarter, was CAD 212 million, down significantly from CAD 258 million at the end of the fourth quarter as we continued to rapidly redeploy cash. As a reminder, our cash position peaked at more than CAD 400 million in Q3 of 2020. Our cash balance sits even lower today at around CAD 234 million, and we expect that to continue to decline. We expect cash balances to get back to historic levels around mid-year. Book value per share increased 2% to CAD 10.90. Our CET1 capital and leverage ratios both trended downward to 12.48% and 11.4%, evidence of improved utilization of our excess capital. The credit quality of our loan portfolio remains very strong as the low-risk nature of our business model once again proved itself. For Q1, we recorded provisions for credit losses or PCLs of just CAD 57,000, taking the bank's PCLs as a proportion of average loans for the first quarter to 0.01%. It's worth noting that since the start of the pandemic, we have had no loan losses, only a handful of borrowers that requested payment deferrals, and as at the end of the first quarter, we had zero loans that are subject to deferrals. As I noted last quarter, we are living through what is likely the most challenging environment for many parts of the economy in most of our lifetimes, and the bank has been unimpacted in terms of actual loan losses. As a reminder, this is a function of the significant mitigation embedded in our model and employed in every decision we make. Importantly, the cash holdbacks of our point of sale finance business remains far in excess of what we view to be the intrinsic risk associated with this portfolio. Again, we have never previously incurred a loss in the bank. As you have heard me discuss many times, our ability to access ultra-low cost of funds by leveraging our technology to provide innovative solutions that address unmet needs in the market is critical to our ability to generate superior net interest margins with low risk. As I noted earlier, we saw yet another sequential decline in our cost of funds to 1.42% from 1.51%, a new record. This number is down from 1.88% in Q1 of 2020. The continued decrease of our cost of funds is directly tied to the continued expansion of our insolvency professional deposits, which currently pay 0% interest. Notably, we achieved this despite bankruptcies recently reaching a 10-year low due to the government's COVID-related financial support. Turning to the lending side of our business, you can see not only the record sequential growth, CAD 139 million during the first quarter, but where that is taking place. Our total loan portfolio increased 8% sequentially to a record high of just under CAD 1.8 billion. This was driven to a large degree by the significant origination activity in our commercial real estate portfolio as residential construction activity has heated up, especially in the smaller communities surrounding the Greater Toronto Area. Here, single and multi-family home construction is seeing unprecedented growth as people migrate from the big city to the smaller towns. While demand is high, we are also benefiting from our strengthened competitive position due to the underlying health of the bank. The commercial real estate portfolio grew 18% sequentially and 32% year-over-year. We are also seeing resurgence in point of sale financing activity, especially in the home renovation and repair channel as consumers redirect discretionary spending away from travel and other social activities to home improvements during the pandemic. Although the point of sale portfolio was 5% lower than the end of January 2020, it was up 3% sequentially and was on top of the 8% increase in the fourth quarter of 2020. We expect that momentum to continue through the remainder of the year. Turning to the cybersecurity opportunity, I noted earlier that the first quarter was highlighted by the first contribution from the acquisition of Digital Boundary Group via our DRT Cyber subsidiary. DBG's impressive client list is a who's who of more than 400 North American corporations and government entities. For obvious reasons, we can't name names, but to provide some context, it includes one of Canada's largest retailers, the infrastructure assets of a very large and well-known U.S. investment firm, and the police departments of several large U.S. municipalities. We acquired DBG for CAD 10 million, a very attractive valuation given its own organic growth prospects and the significant potential to leverage business development synergies through DRT Cyber and their tremendous growth forecast for the sector. For the 62 days in which we owned DBG during the first quarter, it contributed CAD 1.7 million in revenue and was immediately accretive to the bank's earnings. Again, this was just two months of contribution. DBG is growing at a rapid pace. Cash contributions for the most recent quarter were up 50% on a year-over-year, and that's before the marketing and business development initiatives we have planned for DBG this year as part of DRT Cyber. DBG significantly transforms the DRT Cyber opportunity. The recent SolarWinds breach in the United States once again thrust the issue of cyber vulnerability to the spotlight. The truth is that literally every day, there is another headline about yet another successful cyber attack. The good news for business and government is that these attacks are preventable, and Digital Boundary Group is a critical part of the protection. They stand head and shoulders with the very best in the industry, and they, along with VersaVault, are a critical part of building a comprehensive cybersecurity offering that will fully leverage the formidable team and capabilities of DRT. DRT Cyber chairman Tom Ridge, the former governor of Pennsylvania and the first secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Gurpreet Sahota, DRT's chief operating officer, who was previously with BlackBerry for 16 years, where he was principal cybersecurity architect. Art Linton, DRT director and former senior engineer at X, Inc. and Google. The rest of 2021 promises to be an exciting time for DRT Cyber and VersaBank more broadly. That excitement starts today. This morning, we announced the bank's intention to launch the first bank-issued deposit-based digital currency we call VCAD. VCAD isn't a typical cryptocurrency. In fact, we prefer not to use that term, as VCAD addresses two major shortcomings with virtually every other digital currency available today: volatility and security. On volatility, VCAD represents a Canadian dollar deposit with our bank, meaning its value will fluctuate only with that of the Canadian dollar and will always be known, whether for the use in buying and selling goods and services, or when a business or individual wants to exchange or redeem them. On security, because VCAD will be issued by VersaBank, a Schedule I bank, and backed by deposits, businesses and individuals can be certain that their VCAD holdings are redeemable at any time. VCAD will be securely managed by our own VersaVault, the first, and we believe the most secure, digital deposit box in the world. As such, VCAD will offer the highest level of stability and security amongst the digital currencies. We are incredibly proud of this truly groundbreaking initiative. It represents yet another innovative solution by VersaBank to address the unmet needs in the market. At the same time, it is also a natural extension of digital banking operations. It is based on the same proprietary technology that underlies our digital banking operations. In fact, VCAD is very much a highly encrypted version of our existing digital deposit. To maximize its success, we are thrilled to be commercially launching VCAD in partnership with Stablecorp, which is a joint venture between Canada's leading crypto asset manager, 3iQ, and Mavennet, a Canadian leader in blockchain development. Consistent with VersaBank's highly efficient business-to-business model, we will issue VCAD through our partner, Stablecorp, in exchange for deposits. Stablecorp will offer VCAD directly to individual businesses, digital currency exchanges. VCAD is not only a fantastic offering in and of itself, but is expected to provide significant additional source of very low-cost deposits for the bank, providing the opportunity to even further reduce our already ultra-low cost of funds. We are targeting VCAD to be available publicly in the coming months, stay tuned. Following on a very good year for VersaBank in 2020, the first quarter of 2021 was a great start to the expected resumption of our long-term trend of outsized growth in 2021 and beyond. Thank you. Now I'll be available for questions. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the question and answer session. Should you have a question, please press star followed by one on your touch-tone phone. You'll hear a three-tone prompt acknowledging your request, and your questions will be polled in the order they are received. Should you wish to decline from the polling process, please press star followed by two. If you're using a speakerphone, please lift the handset before pressing any keys. One moment for your first question. Okay, your first question comes from Greg MacDonald from LodeRock Research. Greg, please go ahead. Good morning. Thanks, guys, for taking the call, and congrats on the strong quarter. Listen, I wanted to ask a question on loan growth. As per your comments in the last call, you're starting to see some very aggressive loan growth. Good on that. In terms of the mix, very strong in commercial at 32% year-over-year. That's a pretty incredible number. On the point-of-sale side, a little lighter than I would have expected. Overall, in line. I wanted to ask the question, are you surprised at all on the trend in terms of how much demand there is on the commercial side relative to the point-of-sale side? Is there anything to draw as a conclusion in terms of the mix going forward for the rest of the year? Well, thanks, Greg. Not surprised, actually. It's a little lumpy in a quarter. The trend, I think, for the remainder of the year will be that point of sale originations will catch up to the commercial lending. Commercial lending showed quite a significant resurgence, of course, due to the tendency for folks to move away from the major centers and move to the smaller towns. As you know, we've been providing residential financing for a long time. We're extremely well-positioned to help our clients in building new homes for those folks that are moving out of the Toronto area. Point of sale financing is coming back quickly, too. As I was saying in the presentation, there tends to be a lot of activity around the area of home improvement, and I expect in the next few quarters you'll see point of sale growing about the same rate as the residential construction. Okay. Thanks for that. As a follow-on on the point-of-sale side, I know you're talking about the instant mortgage app. This is something that is quite new to the market. I know it's very early days, David, is there anything more to add on that in terms of your insight to how much success you're finding with that app? Well, we have high hopes for that app. We think it's providing a convenient way for prospective homeowners to obtain their financing, as opposed to the traditional way of walking down the street to and negotiating a preapproval with a mortgage, say, at a branch bank or finding a broker. We think the convenience will be highly attractive, and I expect that we'll see quite a deal flow through that channel. We are also talking to other financial institutions as partners, in that the flow might be so huge that VersaBank might pick and choose the types of mortgages that reside on our balance sheet. I think everybody thinks there'll be a tremendous flow. Thankfully, we're working well with some partners that will help out with the flow. Okay, thanks. Just one last question in terms of finishing off on the, call it net interest margin type questions. Insolvency deposits, I think anyone that knows this story knows that that's a great opportunity for you for low-cost deposits. The growth there seems pretty attractive. My sense was always that the growth would really come more in the second half of this year as the expectation for bankruptcies increase. I don't think we've seen a lot of major change in bankruptcies yet. You're starting to see decent growth or even better growth in that area of deposits. Can you give a sense of what you're expecting through the rest of the year between Q4 and Q1? Are you as optimistic, more optimistic on the growth opportunity for insolvencies and kind of what you're seeing there? Well, as you say, we're still seeing good growth in the area, that's not really the result any longer of us acquiring new customers, new insolvency professionals, and that we have a good portion of the market already dealing with us. It's probably internally they're adopting our software. We're seeing growth that way. I was expecting insolvencies to increase in the latter half of this year. It might be that with the recent announcements from the government of providing more longer-term supplements for Canadians and businesses, that the number of insolvencies will not sort of peak towards the end of the year. I'm sure in the next year, there'll be a lot of insolvencies. Of course, this pandemic has had a terrible effect on the economy. I would say that the growth will continue as it has at that rate, and maybe towards the end of the year, it starts to peak. With what looks like it's on the horizon, that portfolio of deposits could be about twice as big as it is today. Okay, thanks very much. Your next question comes from Suthan Sukumar from Stifel. Please go ahead. Oh, hi there, guys. I apologize in advance. I don't know if it's just me, but it's a little bit distorted on my end, so if you can't hear me, I apologize. David, I want to get some color on the VCAD announcement this morning. Obviously, very significant piece of news. Is it possible to walk through the mechanics of how this product is going to work? Is it that if I'm a financial institution, I go and buy the coin from you, and then you turn around and buy CAD and hold that as the deposit? If you could just walk through the mechanics of that process, that would be helpful, please. Sure. I probably should start from our perspective, the VCAD is a digital redeemable transferable deposit receipt that we're using blockchain technology to make it easily transferable. What we plan to do is issue these deposit receipts to our partner, Stablecorp. Stablecorp will be our depositors. Stablecorp will be depositing with us and receiving VCADs back in exchange. The VCAD thereafter will likely be exchanged for Canadian dollars or other currencies from Stablecorp to other cryptocurrency exchanges. The VCADs will enter this sort of ecosystem of cryptocurrencies from Stablecorp. If there's to be a redemption or what they term as a burning, then Stablecorp would come back to us and request redemption, and we will treat Stablecorp as we would any other depositor and redeem. This is a unique type of cryptocurrency that we've invented, in that it's not tethered to a fiat currency or tethered to some other asset. It actually represents a deposit in a Schedule I bank. The stability aspect is, of course, tremendous in that a holder doesn't have to worry about the tether snapping or not being there, as has been the case in the past with tethered currencies. They don't have to worry about the value rocketing up and then rocketing back down again because it's stable and that it is a deposit with a bank, and you can always get your money back. That's how it works. We're very excited about it. It's a new channel for deposit taking, and like all banks, first and foremost, we're looking to fund ourselves with as economical deposits as we can to enable us to make loans in markets where we can earn a decent yield. Priority job one begins with deposit taking, and this is a brand-new channel, and it appears to be brand new for the world, this type of digital deposit note or cryptocurrency or stablecoin type vehicle. Appreciate that. Is it possible to talk about what the potential demand uptake could be on Stablecorp's side? Is it going to be through 3iQ? Are they talking to other institutional asset managers in the U.S., or is it too early to tell how big this could get? If you could just kind of walk us through how much or maybe just qualitatively what the demand level is for this stablecoin, that would be great. Well, Stablecorp has linkages throughout the cryptocurrency industry. I'd expect that VCAD will flow through those relationships that they've already established. There's perhaps CAD 10 billion in that market presently, and we think our product is superior, of course. We'd expect that a good portion of that CAD 10 billion will start to flow our way, in that we're presenting a new type of cryptocurrency with all those added features that the others presently don't have. Appreciate that. What's OSFI's position on this? Generally, they're pretty slow to adopt kind of new innovations like this. How has the conversation gone on the regulatory side? Any potential impediments there in the future? We have, of course, as usual, agreed and we'll be working with OSFI as we roll this new product out and dealing with all the various questions and issues that likely will come up. Really, all we're doing is using blockchain technology and the state-of-the-art encryption techniques for the digital deposits that we already have. Our bank has never had a Brinks truck roll up to the door with cash or take cash away. Never in our history have we had traditional cash. We've always had our deposits and loans in digital format. This is really just adapting our already digital way of doing business using blockchain technology to make it easier to deposit with our bank, make it easier to transfer ownership. Employing the, of course, strong encryption techniques, which every bank should be employing. From a bank's point of view, it's a natural progression. It's a natural evolution, utilizing the technologies that are now available. I think it's good for the depositor. It's good for the regulator. The regulator will see a bank with more diversity in its deposit base, maybe more economically priced deposits and stronger encryption techniques. Other features that come with our VersaVault technology that provide heightened degrees of security that aren't really available, certainly not available in a branch situation with traditional deposits taking place over- the- counter. I think generally speaking, the regulators, and I've spoken to OSFI and all the other regulators, will be pleasantly surprised at just what this will do for our industry. I'd expect other FIs will adopt similar technology. They may want to talk to us about licensing agreements. I know central banks throughout the world are looking at this. As usual, our mission is to provide leading-edged technology to the banking industry, and this is sort of a no-brainer. Of course, this is what banks should be doing. They should be using the blockchain. They should be having their deposit products available to the masses in a nice, convenient fashion. Sorry. Just to be clear, it sounds like it's still kind of an ongoing discussion with OSFI. You haven't received the official rubber stamp yet, but the talks are progressing. Is that how we should look at that? I'd look at it that way, although I don't see any official approvals required. We're well within our rights as a bank to issue deposits in digital format. We have been doing it since we began banking. I started out with telephone modems and digital data representing deposits back in 1993. From my sort of humble perspective, Schedule I Canadian bank is well within its rights to issue deposits, and everybody is now representing their deposits in digital format. We're just adding a whole lot of better security than the present situation. We're making the deposit vehicles more readily available to people in the marketplace. I definitely will be working with the regulators to talk about all the details, how it takes place. I don't see it as something new that needs particular approval. It's well covered in our Bank Act and the OSFI guidelines. Great. Good to hear. Appreciate that. Maybe just before I hop back in the queue, with respect, and I apologize if this was already brought up. I was cut out on the call earlier. With respect to the NIM outlook, your cash position continues to be a bit of a drag on your NIM generation profile. Do you think that gets cleaned up over the next quarter or two? Do you think that you can get back to that 3.0 NIM profile going forward possibly this year? Do you see that as a longer-term target to get to? I see it this year. We took, we think, the appropriate cautious approach and let our cash balances build mid last year to over CAD 400 million. There is a cost to being that prudent, i.e., the yield we're earning on our cash balances might have been slightly more than we were paying on our deposits, but there is a drag cost on NIM for being safe and cautious. Now what you see is now we have good visibility on how the economy is affecting our bank. We're letting the cash run down. With the loan growth I was talking about earlier, it should enable us to bring the cash balances back to sort of a normal level, 6.5%, 7% this year. NIM should pop back up to hit 3%, 3.1% or so. That little arithmetic I did in the presentation showing if we had normal cash balances would be about 3%. Throughout this year, you'll see it get back up and with the decline in cash balances and the increased loan portfolio. Great. Just the last question from me. With respect to the efficiency ratio, you've got DBG Group in there now. What's a good run rate on that ratio going forward? Is it possible to get to 50% or lower, or do you think the current levels are representative of where that stands over the balance of the year? Thanks. It should drop below 50% and keep right on going. As we build assets, net interest income, of course, that helps with dropping that ratio. We're still about suboptimal for size. We're about half the size that we should be. The faster we can grow up to, say, around the CAD 4 billion level. The better it will be for efficiency. DBG and the other revenues that we expect will bring into DRTC, probably in balance helped that ratio also. Obviously, DBG in the first 60 days was quite a contributor, and that's what you'd expect going forward with the terrible things happening in the cybersecurity world, with all the attacks. A company like DBG and DRTC are in a target-rich environment. There's a Top Gun analogy. I'd say that efficiency ratio dropping below 50% this year. Thanks very much. All righty. Ladies and gentlemen, as a reminder, should you have a question, please press star followed by one. We have another question from Greg MacDonald. Greg, please go ahead. Yeah, thanks. Just a cleanup question, guys, on DBG, on the CAD 1.7 million for the, I think it was 65 days, 62 days, I forget. Can you tell me what the growth rate on that was? David, you made a mention when you were talking about DBG in your prepared comments, of growth. For some reason, I got some interference there, so I didn't catch that. Something like 50% growth on something. Could you review that, please? Yeah. Looking at the DBG's past 12 months and comparing it to the run rate, using the 62 days cash earnings prior to amortization and those sort of non-cash items, it was about a 50% increase. Okay. A really healthy increase over their past 12 months. That's probably mostly attributable to the marketplace demanding DBG-type services with all these attacks that are taking place. Okay. What the kind of run rate top-line growth is at DBG right now? Has anything changed there? I think you commented on 12%. Yeah. Past 12 months were around about CAD 8 million, and now it looks like about CAD 10.5 million. Okay. Thanks very much. Just the last, this is just a cleanup question as well. Anything unusual below the net interest line? Anything unusual in the expense items there? Well, we still are carrying some additional expenses with respect to staff and such, and there's some development costs that we expense. You probably see the expenses reduce quarter-over-quarter, going forward. Great. Thanks, guys. Your next question comes from Trevor Reynolds from Acumen Capital. Trevor, please go ahead. Hey, guys. Just a quick question here on the VCAD. I'm just curious as to where you see the primary demand or who the primary customers will be for this product. Well, these types of cryptocurrencies tend to be popular, I guess, with what they say, the Millennials and the Generation Z people, they seem to love these types of highly liquid tradable digital currencies. I was saying the market might be in the CAD 10 billion range presently for these types of currencies. Originally, I think the demand is just going to come from what's already out there. This is a superior digital currency to the others. I think once that's known, it'll be very popular. As time progresses, though, and this currency becomes more prevalent, I think you'll start seeing it be used as a medium for buying goods. That's our hope. Our partners are deep into the applications in the payment industry, and I think you could see our VCAD, our VUSD, our VEuro, a V Sterling, used to purchase goods as a medium. I see a huge growth for this. We're without competition in this particular type of cryptocurrency presently. Again, first-mover advantage. It is a fair amount of technology required to deliver something like this that we've been working on for the past three years with our VersaVault. Stablecorp has done a lot of work in the blockchain area to develop this too. Partnering with Stablecorp together with DRTC with VersaVault, I think we're quite a distance ahead of the pack. I expect it to be a very popular cryptocurrency. The primary benefit then is the security, obviously. It's the security and the stability. I think the stability will really be important. Don't write this one down, I think some of the cryptocurrencies that have risen so dramatically and so quickly could just as easily come down that fast. When that happens, folks will probably look for a currency that's backed up by a fiat currency like ours is. I think the stability of having a fiat currency backing it, I think the utility of being easily tradable using blockchain technology are big features with this VCAD. Great. What would be the timing of getting into some of those, the U.S. and Europe? U.S. will be the next one after Canadian. Of course, it's just south of the border, and we have fair presence in the States presently. I could see the VCAD rolling out in approximately around a two-month period of time, maybe a bit longer, maybe a bit less, in that sort of ballpark. It wouldn't take long to create the U.S. version of it. Technologically, that's relatively simple for us to do. Great, thanks. All righty. Thank you, Trevor. Your next question comes from Brian Smith, a retail investor. Brian, please go ahead. Just want to congratulations on another excellent quarter. A question on the VCAD. Two of the attractions of these cryptocurrencies are anonymity and speed. Can you discuss those, let's say, in comparison to trying to transfer money through check or money order? I can really see an attraction in instead of having to wait for checks to clear, and so forth, if you can just transfer from one business to another in this way. Is that something that you're seeing? Yeah, I think the advantage is speed is virtually almost instantaneous with using blockchain. Our VCAD will be almost instantaneously tradable. That is a very important aspect of it. Anonymity, well, our depositor is Stablecorp, we know who our depositor is. Thereafter, through the blockchain, it is possible to know whose wallet is holding the VCAD. It'd be the various exchanges that have the wallets that would know who their customers are. It's like a cryptocurrency, like all the other cryptocurrencies in from that respect. It'll be super fast, and I think it'll give people comfort that, if they want to burn it, they want to get their money back, redeem their deposit, they've got a bank ready to redeem the deposit like we do for all of our deposits. That should be a huge comfort as opposed to the other cryptos that don't have anything behind them, sort of like catching a knife dropping if it goes down. Those that are tethered, and some of course, are very strongly tethered and issued by very reputable firms, but some in the past, the tethering has snapped, broken, or disappeared and left people, holders wondering what to do. Having this not be a tethered currency, but actually representing a deposit, I think is a huge difference. Agreed. Thank you. There are no further questions at this time. David Taylor, please proceed. Perfect. Well, thank you everybody. It's been wonderful catching up with you this morning, and if you have any further questions, you could drop me an email or put a call in. Happy to discuss anything we've talked about today and anything else you have in mind about our bank and our new endeavors. Thanks again. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes your conference call for today. We thank you for participating and ask that you please disconnect your lines.
