The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio at  March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The amortized cost and fair value of the debt securities portfolio are shown in the table below by expected maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call, or prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date are shown separately.

The following table summarizes the investment securities with unrealized losses for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, aggregated by major security type and length of time in a continuous unrealized loss position.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 1,068 securities, 913 of which were in an unrealized loss position. The treasury, agency, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and small business administration securities that the Company owns are all issued by government sponsored entities and therefore contain no potential for credit loss. The Company does not consider any of its available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses to be attributable to credit-related factors, as the unrealized losses have occurred as a result of changes in noncredit related factors such as changes in interest rates, market spreads and market conditions subsequent to purchase, not credit deterioration. The vast majority of the Company's state and political subdivisions holdings are of high credit quality and are rated AA or higher. In addition, management has both the ability and intent to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery in fair value. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has not recorded an allowance for credit losses on available for sale (“AFS”) securities.
