Lost Money on Merchants Bancorp (MBIN)? Possible Fraud - Contact Levi & Korsinsky Today Ready to Announce with Confidence?
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - May 11, 2026) - Levi & Korsinsky notifies investors that it has commenced an investigation into Merchants Bancorp ("Merchants Bancorp") (NASDAQ: MBIN) concerning potential violations of the federal securities laws.
The Q1 2026 earnings release showed what appeared to be a headline beat. Beneath that number, brokered deposits -- a key funding source for the bank -- had declined approximately 50% compared to Q1 2025. At the same time, the Company's cost of funds increased materially. The market's reaction was immediate: MBIN shares fell 9.3% as investors recalculated the sustainability of the Company's earnings trajectory in light of the deposit contraction and funding-cost pressure.
Prior to the Q1 2026 release, the Company had emphasized "strong deposit growth" in communications with investors. The earnings report did not reconcile that characterization with the scale of the brokered-deposit decline. Analysts and investors who had relied on prior deposit-growth messaging absorbed the new data and sold.

UPDATE: On March 5, the SEC issued an Exemptive Order (Release No. 34-104931) providing significant relief for FPIs in "qualifying jurisdictions," including Canada . Because the SEC now recognizes Canada’s reporting standards as "substantially similar," most Canadian directors and officers are exempt from the Section 16(a) filings described below. However, this relief depends on the jurisdiction of incorporation; FPIs incorporated in "offshore" jurisdictions (e.g., Cayman Islands or BVI)...
