As discussed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, a new accounting standard adopted in 2018 requires us to report network costs associated with debit card and ATM transactions netted against the related fee income from such transactions. Previously, such network costs were reported as a component of check card expense and included in other non-interest expense. In 2019 and 2018, network costs totaling $12.9 million and $11.9 million are reported as a component of interchange and debit card transaction fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income rather than as a component of check card expense in the table above. For 2017, network costs totaling $11.9 million were reported as a component of check card expense in the table above.

In the ordinary course of business, we transact with certain directors and/or their affiliates. Payments for services provided totaled $567 thousand in 2019, $568 thousand in 2018 and $833 thousand in 2017.
