Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Compensation Committee, Plan Administrator, and Plan Participants of
Cass Information Systems, Inc. 401(k) Plan:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Cass Information Systems, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Supplemental Information
The accompanying schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2024, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024 and 2023
NOTE 1 – PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following description of the Plan provides general information. Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
(a) Employer Contributions – The amount of employer contributions is determined by the Retirement Plan Committee (the Plan Administrator) of Cass Information Systems, Inc. ("the Company", "the employer", or "Cass"). The amount of employer contributions is also approved by executive management of the Company.
For all employees that are eligible to participate in the Plan but are not eligible to participate in the Company’s defined benefit retirement plan (generally starting employment at the Company subsequent to December 31, 2016), the Company provides a 3% contribution and matches 50% of the first 6% of employee contributions, subject to IRS limitations.
Prior to March 2021, for employees that participated in the Company’s defined benefit retirement plan, the Company matched 50% of the first 3% of employee contributions, subject to IRS limitations. Upon freezing future benefit accruals under the Company’s defined benefit retirement plan, all employees eligible for the Plan received the same 3% contribution and 50% of the first 6% of employee contributions match discussed above for employees not eligible to participate in the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. These longer-term employees also received an additional 3% contribution until December 31, 2023. The participant does not need to be actively making deferrals into the Plan to be eligible to receive the additional contribution.
(b) Employee Contributions – Each plan participant may elect to make contributions to the Plan of 1% to 100% of the participant’s eligible compensation for such fiscal year as long as such contributions do not exceed the maximum permissible by the Internal Revenue Code. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined contribution and defined benefit plans. In addition, participants that are age 50 or older are eligible to make pre-tax catch-up contributions not to exceed certain limits described in the Plan document. Eligible new hires are automatically enrolled for pre-tax contributions at a 6% deferral rate, with automatic annual 1% increases up to 8%, unless they elect otherwise.
During November 2024, the Company terminated its defined benefit plan. At termination, participants of the defined benefit plan had the option of a lump sum distribution and/or rolling the benefits into the 401(k) Plan. During 2024, rollover contributions associated with the terminated defined benefit plan of $6,819,079 are included in rollover contributions on the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.
(c) Participant Eligibility – Employees (as defined by the Plan) of the Company or its wholly owned subsidiary, Cass Commercial Bank, shall be eligible to become a participant in the Plan following the completion of one month of service and upon reaching 21 years of age.

401(k) PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024 and 2023
Individuals who are ineligible to participate in the Plan consist of (a) individuals who are represented by a bargaining unit that has bargained with the Company in good faith on the subject of retirement benefits; (b) Nonresident aliens with no U.S. income or all such income is exempt from U.S. income tax; (c) leased employees; and (d) employees whose primary work location is other than a processing center maintained by the employer and whose job title includes "Offsite."
(d) Participant Accounts – Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and allocations of the Company’s match and contributions along with plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
(e) Vesting – Employees are 100% vested in any portion of their account resulting from their savings contributions and any rollover contributions. Employer contributions including, but not limited to, matching additional and discretionary are subject to vesting as follows:
| Years of service | Vesting percentage | ||||
| Less than three | —% | ||||
| Three or more | 100% | ||||
If an employee terminates employment before full vesting, the nonvested portions of employer matching and discretionary contributions are used to reduce future contributions or plan administration costs of the Company. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $15,650 and $5,964, respectively. Employer contributions were reduced from forfeited nonvested accounts by $492,225 and $152,563 during 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(f) Distributions – Under the terms of the Plan, participants hired prior to January 1, 2017 reaching the age of 59 ½ are eligible to receive their balance prior to January 1, 2017. Participants hired January 1, 2017 and after reaching the age of 65 are eligible to receive the entire balance in all of the accounts maintained for such participant. Participants terminating employment prior to the attainment of age 59 ½ receive their contributions and earnings on such contributions and the employer's contributions and earnings on such contributions, if such amounts are vested. In the event of death, any vested balances in the participant’s account are paid to the designated beneficiary.
(g) Costs of Plan Administration – Fees and expenses incurred by the Company in the administration of the Plan are paid by the Company or from forfeited nonvested accounts. Expenses solely attributable to the investment of funds are paid with plan assets.

December 31, 2024 and 2023
(h) Notes Receivable From Participants – Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant’s vested account balance, per plan provisions. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at rates which are commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the Cass Information Systems, Inc. Retirement Plan Committee (the Plan Administrator). Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following are the significant accounting policies followed by the Plan:
(a) Basis of Presentation – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and present the net assets available for benefits and changes in those assets. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(b) Payments of Benefits - Benefits are recorded when paid.
(c) Trust Fund – Under the terms of a trust agreement between the Principal Life Insurance Company (the Trustee) and the Company, the Trustee administers a trust fund on behalf of the Plan. Participants may elect to have a portion of their account balances invested in a variety of interests in pooled separate accounts, mutual funds, and collective trust funds investing in debt and equity instruments, and common stock of the Company. In the prior year, participants may have elected to have a portion of their account balance invested in a General Account, which was comprised of investments in guaranteed interest contracts with an insurance company.
(d) Investment Valuation and Income Recognition – Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, as described more fully in note 3.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
(e) Notes Receivable From Participants – Notes receivable from participants are reported at their unpaid principal balances plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are charged to expense when incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the Plan Administrator deems the participant loan to be in default, the
CASS INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC.
401(k) PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024 and 2023
participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit is recorded in accordance with the plan document.
(f) Subsequent Events – The Plan has evaluated subsequent events through June 30, 2025, the date the financial statements were issued.
NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Plan’s investments are reported at fair value in the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits. The methods used to measure fair value may produce an amount that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future values. Furthermore, although the Plan Administrator believes the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The fair value measurement accounting literature establishes a value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets and have the highest priority.
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and have the lowest priority.
The Plan uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair value of its investments. When available, the Plan measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. Level 3 inputs are used only when Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are not available.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Employer common stock – valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded (Level 1 inputs).
CASS INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC.
401(k) PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024 and 2023
Mutual funds – valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund (Level 1 inputs). Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds which are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value (NAV) and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.
Collective trust funds – valued at the NAV of the units of the Principal Trust Company collective trusts. The NAV, as provided by the Trustee, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. The investments have no unfunded commitments and can be redeemed daily with a one day notice period.
Pooled separate accounts – valued at the NAV of the pooled separate accounts. The NAV, as provided by the Trustee, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. The investments have no unfunded commitments and can be redeemed daily with a one day notice period.
Insurance company general account – fair value is the amount the Plan’s participants would receive currently if they were to withdraw or transfer funds from the Plan prior to their maturity for an event other than death, disability, termination, or retirement. This fair value represents contract value adjusted to reflect current market interest rates only to the extent such market rates exceed crediting rates (Level 3 inputs).
The following tables set forth, by level with the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s investments at fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY AND PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are units of insurance company general account product, pooled accounts or collective trust funds managed by Principal Life Insurance Company or affiliates thereof. Principal Life Insurance Company is the Trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan for the investment management and recordkeeping services amounted to $99,911 and $31,744 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Plan invests in common stock of the Company. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Plan held 17,615 and 34,884 shares of Company common stock, with fair values of $720,645 and $1,571,541, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Plan received cash dividends totaling $24,774 and $40,198, respectively, on shares of Company common stock.
NOTE 5 – PLAN TERMINATION
CASS INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC.
401(k) PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024 and 2023
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Plan Administrator has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants become 100% vested in their accounts.
NOTE 6 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
NOTE 7 – FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Internal Revenue Service issued its latest opinion letter on June 30, 2020, which indicates the pre-approved plan document adopted by the Plan qualifies under the provisions of Section 401(a) and the trust is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. While various amendments have been made to the Plan since 2020, in the opinion of the Plan Administrator, the Plan and its underlying trust have operated within the terms of the Plan and remain qualified under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
