| Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |
| Shareholders' Equity | Shareholders' Equity Common Stock The Company has 10,000,000 shares authorized and 7,973,180 shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2026 and 10,000,000 shares authorized and 7,899,943 shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2025. The Company's stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol BWFG. Dividends The Company’s shareholders are entitled to dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. The ability of the Company to pay dividends depends, in part, on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Parent Corporation. In accordance with Connecticut statutes, regulatory approval is required to pay dividends in excess of the Bank’s profits retained in the current year plus retained profits from the previous two years. The Bank is also prohibited from paying dividends that would reduce its capital ratios below minimum regulatory requirements. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities On October 28, 2024, the Company announced that on October 23, 2024, its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan (the "Plan"). Under the terms of the Plan, the Company is authorized to buy back up to 250,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. The Plan replaced a repurchase plan adopted in December 2018 and amended in October 2021 pursuant to which the Company purchased 535,802 shares of its common stock. The Company intends to accomplish the share repurchases through open market transactions, though the Company could accomplish repurchases through other means, such as privately negotiated transactions. The timing, price and volume of repurchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws, and other factors. The share repurchase plan does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company purchased 3,317 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $45.32 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company purchased 44,550 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $29.93 per share.
