Securities [Abstract]

Investment, Policy

The Company does not believe the AFS securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which consisted of 359 and 401 individual securities, respectively, represented a credit loss impairment. AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses at least quarterly. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the majority of the AFS securities in an unrealized loss position consisted of debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises that carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, which are widely recognized as “risk-free” and have a long history of zero credit losses. Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities. The Company does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity. The Company elected to exclude accrued interest receivable (“AIR”) from the amortized cost basis of debt securities. AIR on AFS debt securities totaled $4.7 million and $4.4 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and reported in the other assets financial statement line.

None of the Bank’s HTM debt securities were past due or on nonaccrual status as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. There was no accrued interest reversed against interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024 as all securities remained in accrual status. In addition, there were no collateral-dependent HTM debt securities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. There was no allowance for credit losses on HTM securities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 66% of the Company’s HTM debt securities were issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises with bond ratings of A to AAA. These securities carry the explicit and/or implicit guarantee of the U.S. government, which are widely recognized as “risk-free” and have a long history of zero credit losses. Therefore, the Company did not record an allowance for credit losses for these securities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The remaining HTM debt securities at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were comprised of state and municipal obligations with bond ratings of A to AAA excluding the $79.2 million and $84.7 million, respectively, of local municipal bonds which are not rated. Based on the Company’s current expected credit losses (“CECL”) methodology, the expected credit loss on the HTM municipal bond portfolio was deemed immaterial, therefore no allowance for credit loss was recorded as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. AIR on HTM debt securities totaled $3.6 million at September 30, 2025 and $4.4 million at December 31, 2024 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and reported in the other assets financial statement line.
