| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
| Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries, and their subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ substantially from those estimates. The allowance for credit losses, valuation of securities and other financial instruments, the funded status and expense of employee benefit plans, legal proceedings and other contingent liabilities, and the realizability of deferred tax assets are particularly subject to change. |
| Reclassifications | Reclassifications Amounts in the prior period’s consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period’s presentation. |
| Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Company’s reportable segments are determined by the Chief Executive Officer, who is designated as the chief operating decision maker, based on information provided about the Company’s products and services offered. The Company’s operations are primarily in the community banking industry and includes retail and commercial banking services. The Company also sells commercial and consumer insurance products and employee benefit products and services through Pioneer Insurance Agency, Inc., provides wealth management services through Pioneer Financial Services, Inc. and operates a broker-dealer Pioneer Capital Markets, Inc. focused on municipal bond trading. The segment is also distinguished by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision maker, who uses that information to review performance of various components of the business. The chief operating decision maker will evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s business components such as by evaluating revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing the Company’s segment and in the determination of allocating resources. The chief operating decision maker uses consolidated net income to benchmark the Company against its competitors. The benchmarking analysis along with monitoring budget to actual results are used in assessing performance. The financial information used for performance assessment by the chief operating decision maker is the same as the financial information included in the consolidated statements of condition and consolidated statements of operations. |
| Adoption and Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-08—Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, which expands the gross-up approach under CECL beyond purchased credit-deteriorated assets to include certain purchased seasoned loans. Under the amendments, loans (excluding credit cards) acquired without credit deterioration and deemed “seasoned,” as defined in the ASU, are considered purchased seasoned loans and accounted for using the gross-up approach at acquisition. Seasoned loans include all loans acquired in a business combination, that do not have “more-than-insignificant” deterioration of credit quality since origination, as well as loans purchased at least 90 days after origination, where the purchaser was not involved in the origination of the loans. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in earnings within provision for credit losses. The ASU also clarifies that any difference between the unpaid principal balance and the grossed-up basis is a non-credit discount or premium, which is to be accreted or amortized into interest income over the term of the loan. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this ASU during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The following significant accounting policies have been added since the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect the adoption of ASU 2025-08. Acquired loans - Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans acquired in a business combination are recognized on the acquisition date at their estimated fair value based on expected future cash flows discounted at a market-based rate of interest and inclusive of adjustments for credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity, and other factors. Acquired loans that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination are classified as purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans. An allowance for credit losses is established for the initial estimate of expected credit losses on PCD loans as of the acquisition date and recorded through a gross-up adjustment to the loan’s amortized cost basis. Acquired loans - Purchased Seasoned Loans Non-PCD loans acquired in a business combination are deemed purchased seasoned loans (“PSL”) with an allowance for credit losses established for the initial estimate of expected credit losses as of the acquisition date and recorded through a gross-up adjustment to the loans’ amortized cost basis. See Note 3 “Acquisition” for additional information on loans acquired in a business combination. Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this ASU require disclosure, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the consolidated financial statements. |
