Other Non-interest Income and Expense NON-INTEREST REVENUE AND EXPENSE
    ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606") does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain non-interest income streams such as gains on sales of residential mortgage and SBA loans, income associated with servicing assets, and loan fees, including residential mortgage originations to be sold and prepayment and late fees charged across all loan categories are not in scope of the guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to non-interest revenue streams, such as depository fees, service charges and commission revenues. The Company generally satisfies its performance obligations on contracts with customers as services are rendered, and the transaction prices are typically fixed and charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity. Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in applying Topic 606 that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers. Non-interest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

Depository fees and charges

    Depository fees and charges primarily relate to service fees on deposit accounts and fees earned from debit cards and check cashing transactions. Service fees on deposit accounts consist of ATM fees, NSF fees, account maintenance charges and other deposit related fees. The fees are recognized as revenue over the period the related service is provided, or as incurred for transaction-based fees in accordance with the fee schedules for the Bank's deposit products and services. The payment for these services are received at the time the services are provided or when customer transactions take place.

Loan fees and service charges

    Loan fees and service charges primarily relate to program management fees and fees earned in accordance with the Bank's standard lending fees (such as inspection and late charges). The payments are received when such services are provided and these standard lending fees are recognized as revenue over the period the related service is provided.

Other non-interest income

Other non-interest income includes revenue from the Bank's participation in JPMorgan Chase's Empowering Change program, and income associated with an advertising services agreement covering marketing and use of the Bank's office space with a third party. The payments are typically received monthly and the revenue is recognized over the period the related service is provided and collected in accordance with the agreements.

Interchange income

The Company earns interchange fees from debit card holder transactions conducted through various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided by an outsource technology solution and are presented on a net basis.
