| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Commitments and Contingent Liabilities | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. First Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. First Bank uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The subsidiary evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the subsidiary upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies, but may include residential real estate, income-producing commercial properties, or other assets of the borrower. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the subsidiary to guarantee the performance of the customer to a third party.
