        insured or indemnified against liability which they incur in their capacities as such:</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Article X, Section 10.01 of the Company&#8217;s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the &#8220;Bylaws&#8221;) requires the Company to indemnify any person made a party in any threatened, pending or completed proceeding by reason of the fact
        that he is or was a director or officer of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation), against all expenses, liabilities or losses incurred by such indemnitee in connection with
        such proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Utah law. If a director or officer of the Company has been successful on the merits in defense of any preceding, he is entitled to be indemnified against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by
        him. The Company is only required to indemnify such indemnitee if the proceeding was initiated by such indemnitee, upon authorization by the board of directors or if the indemnitee is successful on the merits in such proceeding. The right to be
        indemnified includes the right to be paid by the Company expenses incurred in defending any action in advance of its final disposition. The indemnity and advancements of expenses provided under the Bylaws do not preclude those seeking
        indemnification or advancement of expenses from other rights to which such persons are entitled. The right to indemnification conferred by Section 10.01(a) or Section 10.03(b) of the Bylaws may be applied retroactively to events occurred prior to
        the adoption of the Bylaws and may continue to exist after the rescission or restrictive modification of the Bylaws. Under Section 10.03(b) of the Bylaws, the Company is required to make all applicable indemnity payments unless a determination is
        made the board of directors, or in certain circumstances, independent legal counsel, that indemnification of the director or officer is not proper in the circumstances because he or she had not met the applicable standards of conduct under Utah
        law.</div>

      <div style="text-align: justify;">(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
        represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
        that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offered range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
        represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#8220;Calculation of Registration Fee&#8221; table in the effective registration statement; and</div>

      <div style="text-align: justify;">(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
        the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.</div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.</div>

        the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#8217;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration

        the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
        liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
        controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
        whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</div>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is a Utah corporation and subject to the provisions of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (Section 16-10a-101
et seq
.), which includes provisions related to indemnification of
          directors and officers.  The Utah Revised Business Corporation Act provides, in pertinent part, as follows:
Except as otherwise provided in the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act, a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director of the corporation against
        liability incurred in the proceeding if:
●
His conduct was in good faith; and
●
He reasonably believed that his conduct was in, or not opposed to, the corporation's best interests; and
●
In the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
However, a corporation may not indemnify a director in connection with either:
●
A proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation.
●
Any other proceeding charging that the director derived an improper personal benefit (whether or not the proceeding involved action in the director's official capacity), in which proceeding the director was adjudged liable on the basis
                that the director derived an improper personal benefit.
A corporation may pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of a final disposition if:
●
The director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the applicable standard of conduct described in Section 16-10a-902 of the Utah Code; and
●
The director furnishes to the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he did not meet the standard of conduct; and
●
A determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification.
A corporation must indemnify a director who was successful in the defense of any proceeding or claim to which the director was a party because of the director's status as a director of the corporation against
        reasonable expenses incurred in defending the proceeding or claim for which the director was successful unless such indemnification is limited by the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation.
Unless a corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise:
●
An officer of a corporation is entitled to mandatory indemnification to the same extent as a director of the corporation.
●
A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation to the same extent as to a director.
●
A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent who is not a director to a greater extent than to a director. However, this must be consistent with public policy and provided for in the
                corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws, action of its board of directors, or contract.
Article VII of the Fourth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of FinWise Bancorp, or the Company, sets forth the circumstances under which directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company may be
        insured or indemnified against liability which they incur in their capacities as such:
Article X, Section 10.01 of the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") requires the Company to indemnify any person made a party in any threatened, pending or completed proceeding by reason of the fact
        that he is or was a director or officer of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation), against all expenses, liabilities or losses incurred by such indemnitee in connection with
        such proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Utah law. If a director or officer of the Company has been successful on the merits in defense of any preceding, he is entitled to be indemnified against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by
        him. The Company is only required to indemnify such indemnitee if the proceeding was initiated by such indemnitee, upon authorization by the board of directors or if the indemnitee is successful on the merits in such proceeding. The right to be
        indemnified includes the right to be paid by the Company expenses incurred in defending any action in advance of its final disposition. The indemnity and advancements of expenses provided under the Bylaws do not preclude those seeking
        indemnification or advancement of expenses from other rights to which such persons are entitled. The right to indemnification conferred by Section 10.01(a) or Section 10.03(b) of the Bylaws may be applied retroactively to events occurred prior to
        the adoption of the Bylaws and may continue to exist after the rescission or restrictive modification of the Bylaws. Under Section 10.03(b) of the Bylaws, the Company is required to make all applicable indemnity payments unless a determination is
        made the board of directors, or in certain circumstances, independent legal counsel, that indemnification of the director or officer is not proper in the circumstances because he or she had not met the applicable standards of conduct under Utah
        law.
The Company intends to maintain general liability insurance to cover certain liabilities of its directors and certain officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or
        officers.

(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
        represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
        that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offered range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
        represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or
        furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
        the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
        the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
        statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
        the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
        liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
        controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
        whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
