History
BofI Holdings, Inc. (BofI) was incorporated in Delaware in 1999 for the purpose of organizing and opening an Internet-based bank. After designing and implementing a platform for deposit accounts and loans, it formed the Bank of Internet in 2000 to provide online banking services to its customers.
In 2001, BofI began issuing and selling unregistered securities in the form of common-stock options to consultants, directors, and employees in order to "improve operations and increase profits." In 2003, it began offering preferred stock to select investors. A 2004 stock incentive program provided an additional opportunity for consultants, directors, and employees to invest in BofI.
2005 to 2009
According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, BofI began publicly trading common stock on the NASDAQ National Market on March 15, 2005. It offered 3,052,745 shares of common stock at an initial public offering price of $11.50. On its first day of trading, BofI's stock opened at $11.55 and closed at $11.50.
Following its initial stock offering, BofI Holding, Inc. continued to expand. A 2005 annual report showed an increase in total assets from $217.6 million in 2002 to $609.5 million in 2005.

In 2012, the company had assets in excess of $2.2 billion. In June of the same year, BofI was added to the NASDAQ's OMX AMA Community Bank Index (NASDAQ: ABQI), which serves as a benchmark for other banks. Shortly after, Zachs.com rated BofI a strong buy in August 2012 as its stock traded above $22.00.
