Disclosure of Restrictions on Dividends, Loans and Advances Disclosure [Abstract]
REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS	REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS The Pennsylvania Banking Code restricts the availability of capital funds for payment of dividends by all state-chartered banks. Accordingly, at December 31, 2015, the balance in the additional paid in capital account totaling $11,657,000 for JSSB and $42,214,000 for Luzerne Bank is unavailable for dividends. The Banks are subject to regulatory restrictions, which limit the ability to loan funds to Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. At December 31, 2015, the regulatory lending limit amounted to approximately $16,985,000. Cash and Due from Banks Jersey Shore State Bank and Luzerne Bank had no reserve requirements by the district Federal Reserve Bank at December 31, 2015 or 2014; however, if they did they would be reported with cash and due from banks. The required reserves are computed by applying prescribed ratios to the classes of average deposit balances. These are held in the form of cash on hand and a balance maintained directly with the Federal Reserve Bank.
