Item 1.02.  Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 8, 2011, the Registrant received a notice of termination of that certain Services Agreement, or the Agreement, dated May 9, 2008, by and between Higher One, Inc. and The Bancorp, Inc.  Pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Agreement, the termination will be effective no later than May 4, 2012, or 270 days after the date of the termination notice.
 
The Bancorp Bank, a subsidiary of The Bancorp, Inc., provides Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured depository services for the OneAccount checking accounts that the Registrant offers to its customers, as well as other banking functions.  Under the terms of the Agreement with The Bancorp Bank, the Registrant maintains responsibility for the technology-related aspects of the OneAccounts.  Upon termination of the Agreement, The Bancorp Bank is obligated to transfer the deposits and any related bank identification numbers, routing numbers and other related identifiers used by the Registrant in connection with the deposits of its customers and deliver any and all applicable information, account opening contracts and related items.
 
The Bancorp Bank is the Registrant’s third banking partner since its inception and, in the past, when the Registrant has changed banking partners, it has done so in a limited amount of time and with no material disruption or inconvenience to any of its customers.  The Registrant has an on-going process to identify additional bank partners and continues to hold productive discussions and negotiations with multiple potential banking partners.
