| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| General | General In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included, and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 18, 2025 (SEC File No. 001-37497) (the “2024 Form 10-K”). A summary description of the significant accounting policies followed by the Company is set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes in the Company's 2024 Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Amounts in all tables in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been presented in thousands, except percentage, time period, share and per share data or where otherwise indicated.

| Business Segments | Business Segments Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the President of Live Oak Bancshares, Inc. and the Bank. In determining the appropriateness of segment definition, the Company considers the components of the business about which financial information is available and components the chief operating decision maker regularly evaluates relative to resource allocation and performance assessment. Management has determined that the Company has one significant operating segment, which is providing a banking platform for small businesses nationwide. The banking platform generates revenue primarily from net interest income and secondarily through the origination and sale of government guaranteed loans. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net income which is reported on the consolidated statements of income. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from total assets (return on assets) and profitability of the segment in relation to total shareholders’ equity (return on equity). The measures of segment assets and equity are reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets and total shareholders’ equity. Net income is also used to monitor budget versus actual results. All of these elements are used in assessing performance of the segment. Significant segment expenses are reported on the consolidated statements of income.

| Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to place them on a comparable basis with the current year. Net income and shareholders' equity previously reported were not affected by these reclassifications.

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In October 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-06 “Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 amends the ASC to incorporate certain disclosure requirements from SEC Release No. 33-10532 - Disclosure Update and Simplification that was issued in 2018. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information to provide more transparency by requiring (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table and (ii) income taxes paid, net of refunds, to be disaggregated by jurisdiction based on an established threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective January 1, 2025 and impacts the Company’s annual income tax disclosure. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards” (“ASU 2024-01”). ASU 2024-01 adds an illustrative example to clarify how an entity should determine whether a profits interest or similar award is within the scope of ASC 718. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2025, with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02 “Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements” (“ASU 2024-02”). ASU 2024-02 removes references to various Concepts Statements in the Codification. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2025, with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories within the footnotes. The amendments in this standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the amendments will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

| Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”s) Variable interests are defined as contractual ownership or other interests in an entity that change with fluctuations in the fair value of an entity's net asset value. The primary beneficiary consolidates the VIE. The primary beneficiary is defined as the enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE. Solar Renewable Energy Tax Credit Investments The Company has equity interests in several limited liability companies that own and operate solar renewable energy projects which are accounted for as equity method investments. Over the course of the investments, the Company will receive federal and state tax credits, tax-related benefits, and excess cash available for distribution, if any. The Company may be called to sell its interest in the limited partnerships through a call option once all investment tax credits have been recognized. Affordable Housing The Company has an equity investment in a limited liability company LIHTC that qualifies as an affordable housing project, managed by an unrelated general partner. The Company accounts for the investment under the proportional amortization method. Under this method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance as a component of income tax expense. The Company also has equity interests in two limited liability companies that invest in the acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of local qualified housing projects which are accounted for as equity method investments. Canapi Funds The Company’s limited partnership investments in the Canapi Funds focus on providing venture capital to new and emerging financial technology companies. After the initial commitment and over the course of the investment period, the Company will make capital contributions and receive profit and return of capital distributions as a result of fund performance until the funds wind down. Non-marketable and Other Equity Investments The Company also has limited interests in several non-marketable funds, including Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) and venture capital funds, which are accounted for as equity security investments. After the initial commitment and over the course of the investment period, the Company will make capital contributions and receive profit and return of capital distributions as a result of fund performance until the funds wind down. While the partnership agreements allow the Company to remove the general partner, this right is not deemed to be substantive as the general partner can only be removed for cause. All investments are generally non-redeemable and distributions are expected to be received through the liquidation of the underlying investments throughout the life of the investment fund. Investments may only be sold or transferred subject to the notice and approval provisions of the underlying investment agreement. The above investments meet the criteria of a VIE, however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the entities, as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities. The Company’s investment in the unconsolidated VIEs are carried in other assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from unconsolidated VIEs includes the investment recorded on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and unfunded commitment. For solar tax credit investments, the balance sheet figures are net of any impairment recognized, and includes previously recorded tax credits which remain subject to recapture by taxing authorities based on compliance features required to be met at the project level. While the Company believes the potential for loss from these investments is remote, the maximum exposure for solar tax credit investments was determined by assuming a scenario where related tax credits were recaptured.

| Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur upon the exercise of stock options or upon the vesting of restricted stock grants, any of which would result in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the net income of the Company.
