Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
REVENUE RECOGNITION REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company records revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, the Company must identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices can be fixed or variable; charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity. Except as disclosed below, the Company presents disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers in the consolidated statements of income.
Banking and Factoring Segments
The Banking segment derives its revenue principally from investments in interest-earning assets as well as noninterest income typical for the banking industry, and the Factoring segment derives the large majority of its revenue from interest income on purchased factored receivables. The majority of such revenue streams fall under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 310, “Receivables” (“Topic 310”) which is outside the scope of Topic 606. There are, however, certain Banking and Factoring activities that generate revenue under Topic 606. Descriptions of the Company's significant Banking and Factoring revenue-generating activities within the scope of Topic 606, which are included in non-interest income in the Company's consolidated statements of income, are as follows:
Service charges on deposits. Service charges on deposits primarily consists of fees from the Company's deposit customers for account maintenance, account analysis, and overdraft services. Account maintenance fees and analysis fees are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs.
Card income. Card income primarily consists of interchange fees. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized when the transaction processing services are provided to the cardholder.
Net OREO gains (losses) and valuation adjustments. The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer.
Fee income. Fee income for the Banking and Factoring segments primarily consists of transaction-based fees, including wire transfer fees, ACH and check fees, early termination fees, and other fees, earned from the Company's banking and factoring customers. Transaction based fees are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company satisfies its performance obligations.
Insurance commissions. Insurance commissions are earned for brokering insurance policies and providing administrative services to the Company's customers, over-the-road Carriers, over the one year life of the insurance policies. Because the administrative services are integral to the brokerage relationship, the brokering and servicing are considered one performance obligation and no allocation of the commission transaction price is required. The commissions are recognized over the one-year policy term.
Payments Segment
The Payments segment derives a portion of its revenue from interest income on factored receivables and commercial loans related to invoice payments. These factored receivables consist of (i) invoices where we offer a Carrier a quick pay opportunity to receive payment at a discount in advance of the standard payment term for such invoice in exchange for the assignment of such invoice to us and (ii) factoring transactions where we purchase receivables payable to such freight brokers from their shipper clients. The Payments segment also offers commercial loans that result from our offering certain Brokers an additional liquidity option through the ability to settle their invoices with us on an extended term following our payment to their Carriers. The balance of such commercial loans was $0 at December 31, 2025. Such revenue falls under Topic 310 and is outside the scope of Topic 606.
The Payments segment connects Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers through forward-thinking solutions that help each party successfully manage the life cycle of invoice presentment for services provided by Carrier through processing and audit of such invoice to its ultimate payment to the Carrier or the Factor. The Payments segment earns transaction revenue for such services from fees paid by its customers to receive auditing and payment processing of their invoices. Transaction revenue is recorded in Fee Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income and is subject to Topic 606. Transaction fees can be variable in nature. When such fees are variable, they are typically based upon the number of audit and payment transactions executed during a stated period; generally a calendar month. The customer is charged either a set fee per transaction or a set minimum fee for a stated number of transactions with the variable component being a per-invoice amount for transactions exceeding the stated minimum number. When applicable, the stated minimum number of transactions typically resets on a monthly basis. Transaction volume and related variable fees are known and recognized at each reporting period. Transaction fees can also be fixed in nature with such fees reflecting a set annual amount that is recognized ratably over the terms of the related contracts. In both variable and fixed arrangements, customers are typically billed monthly in arrears with payment due on 30 day terms and as such, no revenue is deferred.
Our LoadPay product, a digital bank account developed for Carriers, is housed within our Payments segment. LoadPay provides a user experience and financial products, including small business transactional accounts, tailored to the financial needs of the small trucking companies that are the ultimate payees inside of the payments network. A key feature of the LoadPay product is our ability to rapidly fund invoices approved for payment through the payments network or approved for purchase as part of our factoring operations to the LoadPay account without the need for such payments to be processed through traditional payment rails such as ACH transfers.
LoadPay transaction revenue is recognized on interchange fees and instant transfer fees. The Carrier’s LoadPay bank account funds are deposited in a TBK noninterest bearing transactional account. The Carrier has the option to spend the funds directly from the transactional account via a TBK debit card which results in interchange fees (consistently recognized in accordance with the Card income discussion under the Banking segment). Additionally, the Carrier has the ability to transfer its LoadPay transactional account funds to another financial institution. In lieu of an ACH transfer for which the funds will take 2-3 days to be made available in the Carrier’s third party account, the Carrier can elect an instant transfer where the funds will be made available immediately for a fee retained by TBK. Instant transfer fees are within the scope of Topic 606. Instant transfer fees are variable in nature. They are based upon the number of instant transfer transactions executed during a given day. The customer is charged a set fee per transaction that scales up based on the size of the transaction. Instant transfer fees are typically collected directly prior to transfer of the funds and as such, no revenue is deferred.
The Payments segment's services comprise single performance obligations to provide stand-ready access to its payments, audit, and LoadPay platforms for its customers which are satisfied over time as services are rendered. Given the nature of its services and related revenue, no significant judgments are made in applying Topic 606 and there are no refund, warranty, or similar obligations.
The Payments segment's contracts with its customers are usually short-term in nature and can generally be terminated by either party without a termination penalty or refund after the notice period has lapsed. Therefore, the contracts are defined at the transaction level and do not extend beyond the service already provided. The contracts generally renew automatically without any significant material rights. Some of the contracts include tiered pricing, which is based primarily on volume. The fee charged per transaction is adjusted up or down based on the volume processed for a specified period. Management has concluded that this volume-based pricing approach does not constitute a future material right since changes in the fee ranges are typically offered to classes of customers with similar volume.
The Payments segment recognizes fees charged to its customers on a gross basis as transaction revenue as it is the principal in respect of completing Payments segment transactions. As a principal to the transaction, the Payments segment controls the services on its platforms. The Payments segment bears primary responsibility for the fulfillment of the services, contracts directly with its customers, controls the product specifications, and defines the value proposal from its services. Further, the Payments segment has full discretion in determining the fee charged to its customers. The Payments segment is also responsible for providing customer support.
Capitalized contract costs consist of (i) deferred sales commissions that are incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts and (ii) deferred set-up costs, primarily direct payroll costs, for implementation services provided to customers prior to the launching of the Company’s products for general availability (go-live) to customers. Deferred sales commissions are amortized ratably over two years, taking into consideration the initial contract term, expected renewal periods, and sales commissions paid on such renewal periods. Deferred set-up costs are amortized ratably over four years which estimates the benefit period of the capitalized costs starting on the go-live date of the service. Deferred sales commissions and deferred set-up costs were included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and were $220,000 and $1,840,000, respectively, at December 31, 2025 and $319,000 and $1,354,000, respectively, at December 31, 2024. The amortization of deferred sales commissions and deferred set-up costs is included in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income and totaled $580,000 and $530,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025. Amortization of deferred sales commissions and deferred set-up costs was not significant for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Given the nature of services provided, the Payments segment does not carry any material contract balances.

Intelligence Segment
The services offered through the Company's Intelligence segment drive efficiency, enhance decision-making, and enable Shippers, Brokers, and Carriers to operate more profitably in a very competitive over-the-road trucking market. With Triumph’s access to data from its Intelligence network and other sources, Triumph can develop products and services to offer to logistics service providers, allowing them to better plan for peak periods, competitively source freight capacity, and allocate resources efficiently, thus improving their profitability.
The Intelligence segment earns subscription revenue for such services from fees paid by its customers to receive access to the Intelligence platform via a software as a service agreement. Subscription revenue is recorded in Fee Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income and is subject to Topic 606. The customer is charged a fixed subscription fee and while billing terms vary, in situations where the customer is billed upfront, revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the period the service is provided.
The Intelligence segment's service comprises a single performance obligation to provide stand-ready access to its Intelligence platform for its customers which is satisfied over time as services are rendered. Given the nature of its services and related revenue, no significant judgments are made in applying Topic 606 and there are no refund, warranty, or similar obligations other than standard constrained service level agreements.
The Intelligence segment's contracts with its customers are usually one or two years in nature and can generally be terminated by either party without a termination penalty or refund if either party gives the other party written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Unless notice is given, the contracts generally renew automatically without any significant material rights. Some of the contracts include tiered pricing, where subscription fees will increase based primarily on an increase in customer revenue; however, such tiered pricing is dependent on customer performance and is constrained until known for revenue recognition purposes. Management has concluded that this tiered pricing approach does not constitute a future material right since changes in the fee ranges are typically offered to classes of customers with similar volume.

Deferred set-up costs are amortized ratably over four years which estimates the benefit period of the capitalized costs starting on the go-live date of the service. Deferred sales commissions and deferred set-up costs were included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and were not significant at December 31, 2025 and 2024. The amortization of deferred sales commissions and deferred set-up costs is included in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income and were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Given that most of the deferred revenue is recognized by the end of each reporting period, the Intelligence segment does not carry any material contract balances at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
