Allowance for Credit Loss [Abstract]  
LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Our loan portfolio consists primarily of loans to borrowers within the greater Los Angeles metropolitan and San Francisco Bay area (California), the New York City metropolitan area, Chicago (Illinois), Las Vegas (Nevada), Edison (New Jersey) and Honolulu (Hawaii). Although we seek to avoid concentrations of loans to a single industry or based upon a single class of collateral, real estate and real estate associated businesses are among the principal industries in our market area and, as a result, our loan and collateral portfolios are, to some degree, concentrated in those industries.
The following table presents the balances in our loans held for investment ("HFI") portfolio by loan segment and class as of the dates indicated:

Accrued interest receivable on loans at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 totaled $14.6 million and $14.3 million (included in "Accrued interest and other assets" in the consolidated balance sheets). At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, loans with carrying values of $2.1 billion and $1.9 billion were pledged to secure advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") for up to $1.6 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, loans with carrying values of $86.0 million and $88.9 million were pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco ("FRBSF") Discount Window.
The ACL includes the allowance for loan losses ("ALL") and the reserve for unfunded commitments ("RUC") and is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for expected credit losses in the portfolio as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets. The RUC is included in "Accrued interest and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents a summary of the changes in the ACL for the periods indicated:

We categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. We analyze loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis typically includes larger, non-homogeneous loans such as commercial real estate (“CRE”), construction and land development (“C&D”), and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. We use the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass - Loans classified as pass include loans not meeting the risk ratings defined below.
Special Mention -Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable based on facts, conditions, and values that currently exist.
The following tables summarize our loans HFI by loan portfolio segment, risk rating and vintage year as of the dates indicated. The vintage year is the year of origination, renewal or major modification.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty - In cases where a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, we may make certain concessionary modifications to the contractual terms. These concessions may include term extension, payment delay, principal forgiveness, interest rate reduction, or other actions intended to minimize potential losses. We may provide multiple types of concessions on one loan. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. Loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are individually evaluated for purposes of the allowance for loan losses.
The following tables present loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty by type of modification for the periods indicated:
