The sharp drop in interchange income from sports betting credit card restrictions is a structural headwind to non-interest income. Monitor Q4 2026 for the pace of legacy credit card portfolio runoff and whether the $60M in short-term borrowings is repaid. The BoltBetz and gaming payments rollout is still early-stage and not expected to contribute materially near term.

Executive Summary
GBank Financial Holdings reported Q3 2026 GAAP net income of $3.9M ($0.27 diluted EPS), down from $5.5M ($0.38) in Q2 2026 and $4.3M ($0.30) in Q3 2025. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.30, missing the $0.43 consensus. Revenue of $20.3M was below the $22.8M consensus, driven by a sharp decline in net interchange fees after sports betting operators discontinued credit card funding. Net interest income rose 6.4% QoQ and the net interest margin improved 17bp to 3.95%, but elevated credit provisions and non-core charges weighed on earnings.
