Securities [Abstract] | |
Investment, Policy |
The Company does not believe the AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which consisted of 387 and 401 individual securities,
respectively, represented a credit loss impairment. AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses at least quarterly. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the majority of the AFS
securities in an unrealized loss position consisted of debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises that carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, which are widely recognized
as “risk-free” and have a long history of zero credit losses. Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the
investment securities. The Company does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity. The Company elected to
exclude accrued interest receivable (“AIR”) from the amortized cost basis of debt securities. AIR on AFS debt securities totaled $4.5
million and $4.4 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and
reported in the
financial statement line.None of the Bank’s HTM debt securities were past due
or on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. There was no accrued interest reversed against interest income for
the three months ended March 31, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024 as all securities remained in accrual status. In addition, there were no
collateral-dependent HTM debt securities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. There was no allowance for credit losses on HTM securities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31,
2024, 65% and 66%,
respectively, of the Company’s HTM debt securities were issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises with bond ratings of A to AAA. These securities carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government,
which are widely recognized as “risk-free” and have a long history of zero credit losses. Therefore, the Company did not record an allowance for credit losses for these securities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The remaining HTM debt
securities at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were comprised of state and municipal obligations with bond ratings of A to AAA excluding the $99.4
million of local municipal bonds which are not rated. Based on the Company’s current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology, the expected credit loss on the HTM municipal bond portfolio was deemed immaterial, therefore no allowance for credit
loss was recorded as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. AIR on HTM debt securities totaled $4.8 million at March 31, 2025 and $4.4 million at December 31, 2024 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and reported in the financial statement line.
