VersaBank is a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank. It offers a receivable purchase program (RPP) funding solution for point-of-sale finance companies. It also owns DRT Cyber Inc., which provides the provision of cybersecurity services designed to address the growing volume of cyber threats challenging financial institutions, multinational corporations, and government entities. Its segment consists of Digital Banking Canada, Digital Banking USA and DRTC. Under Digital Banking Canada, the Bank employs a branchless business-to-business (partner-based) model using its financial technology to address underserved segments in the Canadian and U.S. banking markets. Under Digital Banking USA, the Bank intends to adopt a business-to-business model, to address underserved segments of the U.S. banking market. Under VersaBank USA, it plans to acquire deposits and deliver the majority of its loans and leases electronically through deposit and lending solutions tailored for financial intermediaries. It operates in the Financials sector (COMMERCIAL BANKS, NOT ELSEWHERE CLASSIFIED industry).

Versabank is a good buy right now due to its strong revenue growth of 23% year-over-year in Q3, bringing total revenue to CAD 38.8 million, and a significant net income increase of 53% to CAD 10.1 million. The current price of CAD 23.25 is below Roth Capital's target of CAD 28, indicating potential upside. However, investors should be cautious of the declining net interest margin, which fell by 27 basis points to 2.44%, as this could impact future profitability.
