Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yadkin Financial Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Yadkin Bank (the "Bank"). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Because the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included with the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2012 Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2013. Operating results, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the year or other interim periods. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments, all of which are normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The accounting policies followed are set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications - Certain expenses reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. Reclassifications include certain loan collection and occupancy expenses that were previously recorded in other expenses that have now been reclassified to loan collection fees and occupancy expense. Effective May 28, 2013, the Company executed a one-for-three reverse stock split. All outstanding options and restricted shares and earnings per share calculations have been adjusted for the effect of this reverse stock split. For additional information related to the reverse stock split, see Note 16, Other Events. The reclassifications above had no effect on net income or shareholders' equity, as previously reported.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2013-02"). This guidance is the culmination of the FASB's deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company has adopted the standard and the adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have an impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows but did result in additional disclosures in Footnote 15.
Allowance for Loan Losses	Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents management's best estimate for probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The primary risks inherent in the Bank's loan portfolio, including the adequacy of the allowance or reserve for loan losses, are based on management's assumptions regarding, among other factors, general and local economic conditions, which are difficult to predict and are beyond the Bank's control. In estimating these risks, and the related loss reserve levels, management also considers the financial conditions of specific borrowers and credit concentrations with specific borrowers, groups of borrowers, and industries. The allowance for loan losses is adjusted by direct charges to provision expense. Losses on loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses in the accounting period in which they are determined by management to be uncollectible. Recoveries during the period are credited to the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was $40,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $4.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The provision expense is determined by management with the use of the Bank's allowance for loan losses model. The components of the model are specific reserves for impaired loans and a general allocation for unimpaired loans. The general allocation has two components, an estimate based on historical loss experience and an additional estimate based on internal and external environmental factors due to the uncertainty of historical loss experience in predicting current embedded losses in the portfolio that will be realized in the future. The portion of the general allocation on environmental factors includes estimates of losses related to interest rate trends, unemployment trends, real estate characteristics, past due and nonaccrual trends, watch list trends, charge-off trends, and underwriting and servicing assessments. The real estate characteristics component includes trends in real estate concentrations, exceptions to FDIC guidelines for loan-to-value ratios, and changes in real estate market values. Other factors impacting the allowance at September 30, 2013 were watch list trends, unemployment rate trends, and underwriting and servicing assessments.
