WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Bancorp Bank (“Bancorp”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: TBBK), is pleased to announce that it will be the issuing Bank for Suze Orman’s Approved Prepaid MasterCard^®.

The Bancorp and Suze Orman launched The Approved Prepaid MasterCard to empower Americans to effectively manage their finances. Orman, a longtime financial crusader, is inviting consumers to join her “PEOPLE FIRST” movement with her Approved Card.

Suze Orman said: “For me, The Approved Card is a mission. It’s the single most important thing I’ve done in my whole career. This is my answer for all those who are looking for a better way to bank, use plastic and feel secure knowing that their interests are being put before fees and profit motives. People are tired of not getting fair financial deals.”

The Approved Card offers a wide array of benefits for a prepaid card, such as identity theft protection, TransUnion credit scores, reports, monitoring, transparent and competitive fees, as well as money management tools.
