2 Legal Disclaimers Forward-Looking Statements: This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about BOK Financial Corporation, the financial services industry, the economy generally and the expected or potential impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and the related responses of the government, consumers, and others, on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “intends,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Management judgments relating to and discussion of the provision and allowance for credit losses, allowance for uncertain tax positions, accruals for loss contingencies and valuation of mortgage servicing rights involve judgments as to expected events and are inherently forward- looking statements. Assessments that acquisitions and growth endeavors will be profitable are necessary statements of belief as to the outcome of future events based in part on information provided by others which BOK Financial has not independently verified. These various forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions which are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what is expected, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Internal and external factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to changes in government, consumer or business responses to, and ability to treat or prevent further outbreak of, the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in commodity prices, interest rates and interest rate relationships, inflation, demand for products and services, the degree of competition by traditional and nontraditional competitors, changes in banking regulations, tax laws, prices, levies and assessments, the impact of technological advances, and trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans. For a discussion of risk factors that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, please refer to BOK Financial Corporation’s most recent annual and quarterly reports. BOK Financial Corporation and its affiliates undertake no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Forecast & Assumptions 16 ◦ We expect loan growth to accelerate as we move through the year, with period-end point-to-point growth for the year in the 6-7% range. Line utilization is expected to increase, particularly in Energy and Healthcare, but not completely back to pre-pandemic levels during 2022. We expect growth in all of our regional markets and continued growth in our Wealth loan portfolio. ◦ Deposits are expected to decline less than 2% point-to-point during 2022, with no significant change in deposit composition or mix. ◦ We will maintain the AFS portfolio flat during the year by reinvesting cash flows at current rates. ◦ Core Net Interest Income (excluding the impact of PPP loans YoY) is expected to grow 3.5%, driven higher as loan growth picks up. Core net interest margin remains stable early in the year but we see improvement as the Federal Reserve starts hiking rates, which we assume will begin mid-year 2022. ◦ Total Fee revenues will not repeat historically high levels of 2021. Trading & Brokerage and Mortgage revenue will decline toward mid- to upper-single digits compared to last year. All other fee categories are expected to post mid-single digit growth. Total fee revenues as a percent of Total Revenues is expected to stay at or near 40%. ◦ Our goal is to maintain Operating Expense growth at or below 2% for 2022. This will support operating leverage and an improving Efficiency Ratio in concert with revenue growth from higher loan growth. ◦ We expect the overall loan loss reserve as a percent of loan balances to migrate toward 1.20% by the end of 2022, very close to Day 1 CECL levels. ◦ We expect to continue opportunistic quarterly share repurchases within the total dollar ranges spent over the past several quarters.
