Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of First Seacoast Bancorp (the “Company”) were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim consolidated financial information, general practices within the banking industry and with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all the information or footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 27, 2020. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, First Seacoast Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, FSB Service Corporation, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Corporate Structure	Corporate Structure The Company is the holding company for the Bank (formerly named Federal Savings Bank). Effective July 16, 2019, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization from Mutual Savings Bank to Mutual Holding Company and Stock Issuance Plan (the “Plan of Reorganization”), the Bank reorganized into the mutual holding company structure and the Company completed a concurrent stock offering (collectively, the “Reorganization”). In the stock offering, the Company sold a total of 2,676,740 shares of common stock, which included 238,473 shares sold to the First Seacoast Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”), at a price of $10.00 per share. In addition, as part of the Reorganization, the Company issued 3,345,925 shares of common stock to First Seacoast Bancorp, MHC (the “MHC”), the Bank’s parent mutual holding company, and 60,835 shares of common stock and $150,000 in cash to First Seacoast Community Foundation, Inc. (the “Foundation”), a charitable foundation formed in connection with the reorganization and dedicated to supporting charitable organizations operating in the Bank’s local community. The Company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “FSEA” on July 17, 2019. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Bank adopted an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”), which purchased 238,473 shares of common stock in the stock offering with the proceeds of a loan from the Company. As a result of the Reorganization, a total of 6,083,500 shares of common stock of the Company are issued and outstanding, of which 55% are issued to the MHC, 44% were sold to the Bank’s eligible members, the ESOP, and certain other persons in the stock offering, and 1% were contributed to the Foundation. Expenses incurred related to the offering were $1.6 million and were deducted from the stock offering proceeds. The Bank focuses on four core services that center around customer needs. The core services include residential lending, commercial banking, personal banking, and wealth management. The Bank offers a full range of commercial and consumer banking services through its network of five full-service branch locations. Banking services, the Company’s only reportable operating segment, is managed as a single strategic unit. The Bank is engaged principally in the business of attracting deposits from the public and investing those deposits. The Bank invests those funds in various types of loans, including residential and commercial real estate and a variety of commercial and consumer loans. The Bank also invests its deposits and borrowed funds in investment securities. Deposits at the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit and Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) for the maximum amount permitted by FDIC regulations. Investment management services are offered at the Company’s full-service wealth management office in Dover, New Hampshire. The assets held for wealth management customers are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not reflected in the accompanying balance sheets. Assets under management totaled approximately $49.6 million and $49.3 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Our wealth management group, FSB Wealth Management, assists individuals and families in building and preserving their wealth by providing investment services. The investment management group manages portfolios utilizing a variety of investment products. This group also provides a full-service brokerage offering equities, mutual funds, life insurance and annuity products.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards As an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Title 1 of Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, the Company has elected to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or reissued accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. As a result, the Company’s consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards without an extended transition period. As of June 30, 2020, there is no significant difference in the comparability of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of this extended transition period except for the accounting treatment for measuring and recording the Company’s allowance for loan losses. The Company measures and records an allowance for loan losses based upon the incurred loss model while other public companies may be required to calculate their allowance for loan losses based upon the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL approach requires an estimate of the loan loss expected over the life of the loan while the incurred loss approach delays the recognition of a loan loss until it was probable a loss event was incurred. The Company’s status as an “emerging growth company” will end on the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year of the Company during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion (as adjusted for inflation) or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year of the Company following the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering; (iii) the date on which the Company has, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which the Company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations (generally, at least $700 million of voting and non-voting equity held by non-affiliates). In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The purpose of this ASU is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments removed the disclosure requirements for transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, the amendments modified the disclosure requirements for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value and measurement uncertainty. Finally, the amendments added disclosure requirements for the changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-05, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates for Certain Entities,” as a limited deferral of the effective dates, for one year, of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” and ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” to provide immediate, near-term relief for certain entities for whom these ASU’s are either currently or imminently effective as a result of COVID-19. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” as of January 1, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),” which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting due to reference rate reform. The guidance in this update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made, and hedging relationships entered into, on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating its contracts and the optional expedients provided by the new standard. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-2, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU adds an SEC paragraph pursuant to the issuance of SEC SAB Topic No. 119 to the FASB Codification Topic 326 and updates the SEC section of the Codification for the change in the effective dates of Topic 842. This ASU primarily details guidance on what SEC staff would expect a registrant to perform and document when measuring and recording its allowance for credit losses for financial assets recorded at amortized cost. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-1, “Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and T 815 (A Consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force),” which clarifies the interaction among the accounting standards for equity securities, equity method investments and certain derivatives. This ASU becomes effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and all other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASU simplifies accounting for income taxes by removing specific technical exceptions. The guidance removes the need for companies to analyze whether (1) the exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation, (2) exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments and (3) the exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses apply in a given period. The amendments in this ASU are effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” to increase stakeholder awareness of the improvements made to the various amendments to Topic 326 and to clarify certain areas of guidance as companies transition to the new standard. Also during November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates,” finalizing various effective date deferrals for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying the credit losses (CECL), leases and hedging standards. The effective date for ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” is deferred to years beginning after December 15, 2022. The effective dates for ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” and ASU 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities,” are deferred to years beginning after December 15, 2020. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Initially the FASB approved a proposal to delay the implementation of this standard by one year for smaller reporting companies to years beginning after December 15, 2020. On June 30, 2020, the FASB further delayed the implementation of this standard by one year for smaller reporting companies to years beginning after December 15, 2021. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” which seeks to clarify ASU 2016-02 with respect to certain aspects of the update and ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements,” which provides transition relief on comparative reporting upon adoption of the ASU. The Company currently has no leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Company does not expect these ASUs to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which creates a new credit impairment standard for financial assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities. The ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost (including loans and held-to-maturity debt securities) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of the asset, rather than incurred losses. The ASU requires that credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down. The measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets (other than certain purchased assets) and subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the statement of income as the amounts expected to be collected change. The ASU was originally to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” extending the implementation date by one year for smaller reporting companies and clarifying that operating lease receivables are outside the scope of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” to increase stakeholders’ awareness of the amendments and to expedite improvements to the Codification. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 326.” This ASU addresses certain stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13, while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. On October 16, 2019, the FASB approved a proposal to delay the implementation of this standard for smaller reporting companies to years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, however, the Company will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative effect adjustment to equity capital as of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Upon adoption, the Company expects a change in the processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in the assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. The Company is reviewing the requirements of ASU 2016-13 and is developing and implementing processes and procedures to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date. At this time, the Company anticipates the allowance for loan losses will increase as a result of the implementation of this ASU; however, until its evaluation is complete, the magnitude of the increase will be unknown. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20).” The purpose of this ASU is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for non-public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments modified the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets (other than certain purchased assets) and subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the statement of income as the amounts expected to be collected change. The ASU was originally to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” extending the implementation date by one year for smaller reporting companies and clarifying that operating lease receivables are outside the scope of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” to increase stakeholders’ awareness of the amendments and to expedite improvements to the Codification. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 326.” This ASU addresses certain stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13, while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. On October 16, 2019, the FASB approved a proposal to delay the implementation of this standard for smaller reporting companies to years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, however, the Company will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative effect adjustment to equity capital as of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Upon adoption, the Company expects a change in the processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in the assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. The Company is reviewing the requirements of ASU 2016-13 and is developing and implementing processes and procedures to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date. At this time, the Company anticipates the allowance for loan losses will increase as a result of the implementation of this ASU; however, until its evaluation is complete, the magnitude of the increase will be unknown.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20).” The purpose of this ASU is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for non-public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments modified the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
