Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments
Note 7 — Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage risks related to differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments, as well as to manage changes in fair values of some assets which are marked at fair value through the consolidated statement of income on a recurring basis.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company previously entered into interest rate swap agreements that were designated as cash flow hedges of the Company’s forecasted variable cash flows under variable-rate term borrowing agreements. These swap agreements were terminated during the fourth quarter of 2024. The related after-tax gain of $537,000 recorded at termination is being accreted from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings over the remaining term of the swap agreements through April 2027.
Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements concurrently with the purchase of certain fixed-rate AFS securities. The hedging strategy converts the fixed interest rates to variable interest rates based on SOFR. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk, with the objective of mitigating changes in the fair value of the hedged securities attributable to fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate. Under the terms of the swaps, the Company pays a fixed rate and receives a floating rate based on the SOFR Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) compounded rate. The hedging relationships are expected to be perfectly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged securities attributable to movements in the designated benchmark interest rate. These hedges qualify for the shortcut method under applicable accounting guidance. Accordingly, no ongoing quantitative assessment of hedge effectiveness is required for the duration of the hedging relationships.
The fair value of the interest rate swaps is included in accrued interest receivable and other assets or accrued expenses and other liabilities on the face of the consolidated balance sheets, based on their fair value position as of the reporting date. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and corresponding basis adjustment to the hedged AFS securities are recorded in earnings and fully offset each other. For additional details regarding the valuation and fair value hierarchy of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, refer to Note 5 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
The following table presents the amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets related to the cumulative adjustments for fair value hedges at the periods presented.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Customer interest rate derivative program
The Company offers certain derivatives products, primarily interest rate swaps, and from time to time caps and/or floors, directly to qualified commercial banking customers to facilitate their risk management strategies. In most instances, the Company acts only as an intermediary, simultaneously entering into offsetting agreements with unrelated financial institutions, thereby mitigating its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions without significantly impacting its results of operations. Because the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and any offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings as a component of noninterest income.
From time to time, the Company shares in credit risk on interest rate swap arrangements, by entering into risk participation agreements with syndication partners. These are accounted for at fair value and disclosed as risk participation derivatives.
Mortgage banking derivatives
As part of its mortgage banking and related risk management activities, the Company previously entered into interest rate lock commitment agreements (“IRLCs”) on prospective residential mortgage loans. These IRLCs were derivative financial instruments and the fair value of these IRLCs were included in other assets. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company began utilizing a third-party mortgage company to lock the customer’s interest rates and to purchase the loans the Company originates. As a result, the Company no longer enters into IRLCs with mortgage loan customers.

Some interest rate swaps included in other assets were subject to a master netting arrangement with the counterparty in all periods presented and could be offset against some amounts included in interest rate swaps included in other liabilities. The Company has chosen not to net these exposures in the consolidated balance sheets, and any impact of netting these amounts would not be significant.
At both June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company had $3.8 million cash collateral on deposit with swap counterparties. These amounts are included in interest-earning deposits in banks in the consolidated balance sheets and are considered restricted cash until such time as the underlying swaps are settled.
