Financial Instruments With Off Balance Sheet Risk [Abstract]
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK	15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK Southern National is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and guarantees of credit card accounts. These instruments involve elements of credit and funding risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. Letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by Southern National to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. We had letters of credit outstanding totaling $17.7 million and $19.2 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is based on the contractual amount of these instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, we do not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments are made predominately for adjustable rate loans, and generally have fixed expiration dates of up to three months or other termination clauses and usually require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $324.8 million and $339.2 million, respectively. Virtually all of our unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds are variable rate.
