When Moishe Gubin first took the helm at OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: OPHC), the institution was struggling under a 2009 regulatory consent order and a massive debt burden. Gubin executed a multi-year turnaround strategy that completely restructured the bank’s foundation:
• Eliminating Regulatory Red Tape: Successfully cleared the bank of its long standing consent order and restrictive written agreements by boosting capital to well-capitalized levels.
• Cleaning the Balance Sheet: Personally negotiated and acquired the bank’s legacy
TruPS debt at a discount, converting it into equity to remove "going concern"
language and unlock the ability to raise growth capital.
• From Loss to Leader: Transformed a bank that was once losing millions into a
powerhouse delivering record profits including $16.65 million in net income for
2025—a 600% growth in core earnings since 2021.
• Unprecedented Scale: Grew assets from just over $100 million during the
turnaround phase to over $1.11 billion at year-end 2025, maintaining a staggering
33.3% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
• Market Dominance: Delivered a massive 21.6% core return on average equity
(ROE) for 2025.
• Superior Efficiency: Maintained a highly competitive 49.59% efficiency ratio,
significantly outperforming the industry peer average of 67.3%.

"I am honored and excited to have the opportunity to bring my experience to Carver at such a pivotal moment," said Moishe Gubin. "As a New Yorker myself, I have the deepest respect for Carver’s 75-year tradition as a pillar of New York’s financial landscape.
