Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
GOODWILL, CORE DEPOSIT PREMIUM AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS GOODWILL, CORE DEPOSIT PREMIUM AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETSHeartland had goodwill of $427.1 million at September 30, 2019, and $391.7 million at December 31, 2018. Heartland conducts its annual internal assessment of the goodwill both at the consolidated level and at its subsidiaries as of September 30. There was no goodwill impairment as of the most recent assessment.
Heartland recorded $35.4 million of goodwill and $11.4 million of core deposit intangibles in connection with the acquisition of Blue Valley Ban Corp., parent company of Bank of Blue Valley, headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas on May 10, 2019.

Heartland recorded $121.4 million of goodwill and $13.9 million of core deposit intangibles in connection with the acquisition of First Bank Lubbock Bancshares, Inc., parent company of First Bank & Trust Company, headquartered in Lubbock, Texas on May 18, 2018.

Heartland recorded $33.7 million of goodwill and $7.7 million of core deposit intangibles in connection with the acquisition of Signature Bancshares, Inc., parent company of Signature Bank, headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota on February 23, 2018.

The core deposit intangibles recorded with the Blue Valley Ban Corp., First Bank Lubbock Bancshares, Inc. and Signature Bancshares, Inc. acquisitions are not deductible for tax purposes and are expected to be amortized over a period of 10 years on an accelerated basis.

Goodwill related to the Blue Valley Ban Corp., First Bank Lubbock Bancshares, Inc., and Signature Bancshares, Inc. acquisitions resulted from expected operational synergies, increased market presence, cross-selling opportunities, and expanded business lines and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Heartland's intangible assets consist of core deposit intangibles, mortgage servicing rights, customer relationship intangibles, and commercial servicing rights. The gross carrying amount of these intangible assets and the associated accumulated amortization at September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, are presented in the table below, in thousands:

On April 30, 2019, Dubuque Bank and Trust Company closed on the sale of substantially all its servicing rights portfolio, which contained loans with an unpaid principal balance of $3.31 billion to PNC Bank, N.A. The transaction qualified as a sale, and $20.6 million of mortgage servicing rights were de-recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019. Cash of approximately $34.8 million was received during the second quarter, and Heartland recorded an estimated gain on the sale of this portfolio of approximately $13.3 million. A payable of approximately $293,000 was recorded as of September 30, 2019, due to the timing of the servicing transfer per the terms of the sale agreement. In the agreement, which includes customary terms and conditions, Dubuque Bank and Trust Company provided interim servicing of the loans until the transfer date, which was August 1, 2019.

Projections of amortization expense for mortgage servicing rights are based on existing asset balances and the existing interest rate environment as of September 30, 2019. Heartland's actual experience may be significantly different depending upon changes in mortgage interest rates and market conditions. Mortgage loans serviced for others at First Bank & Trust were approximately $621.5 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $648.9 million at December 31, 2018. Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the mortgage loan servicing portfolio at First Bank & Trust were approximately $16.3 million at September 30, 2019 and $5.9 million at December 31, 2018.

Heartland transferred custodial escrow balances totaling $22.9 million to PNC Bank, N.A. in conjunction with the transfer of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio on August 1, 2019. Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the mortgage loan servicing portfolio at Dubuque Bank and Trust Company totaled $17.7 million at December 31, 2018.

At September 30, 2019, the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights at First Bank & Trust was estimated at $5.0 million compared to $7.1 million at December 31, 2018.

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is calculated based upon a discounted cash flow analysis. Cash flow assumptions, including prepayment speeds, servicing costs and escrow earnings of First Bank & Trust's mortgage servicing rights are considered in the calculation. The average constant prepayment rate was 16.40% for the September 30, 2019 valuation compared to 10.30% for the December 31, 2018 valuation. The discount rate was 9.03% for both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 valuations. The average capitalization rate for the first nine months of 2019 ranged from 80 to 98 basis points compared to a range of 93 to 117 basis points for 2018 since acquisition on May 18, 2018. Fees collected for the servicing of mortgage loans for others were $422,000 and $2.6 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, and $1.3 million and $7.3 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

The following table summarizes, in thousands, the changes in capitalized mortgage servicing rights for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and September 30, 2018:

Heartland's commercial servicing portfolio is comprised of loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration and United States Department of Agriculture that have been sold with servicing retained by Heartland, which totaled $87.0 million at
September 30, 2019 and $107.4 million at December 31, 2018. The commercial servicing rights portfolio is separated into two tranches at the respective Heartland subsidiary, loans with a term of less than 20 years and loans with a term of more than 20 years. Fees collected for the servicing of commercial loans for others were $216,000 and $401,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, and $826,000 and $1.2 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019, and September 30, 2018, respectively.

The fair value of each commercial servicing rights portfolio is calculated based upon a discounted cash flow analysis. Cash flow assumptions, including prepayment speeds and servicing costs, are considered in the calculation. The range of average constant prepayment rates for the valuations was 13.11% to 16.60% as of September 30, 2019, compared to 11.01% to 13.50% as of December 31, 2018. The discount rate range was 9.77% to 14.41% for the September 30, 2019, valuations compared to 13.44% to 16.96% for the December 31, 2018, valuations. The capitalization rate for both 2019 and 2018 ranged from 310 to 445 basis points. The total fair value of Heartland's commercial servicing rights was estimated at $1.8 million as of September 30, 2019, and $2.1 million as of December 31, 2018.

The following table summarizes, in thousands, the changes in capitalized commercial servicing rights for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019, and September 30, 2018:

Mortgage and commercial servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value in net gains on sale of loans held for sale when they are acquired through loan sales. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable servicing contracts, when available, or based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

Mortgage and commercial servicing rights are subsequently measured using the amortization method, which requires the asset to be amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment at each Heartland subsidiary based upon the fair value of the assets as compared to the carrying amount. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for specific tranches to the extent that fair value is less than carrying amount at each Heartland subsidiary. At September 30, 2019, a $1.6 million valuation allowance was required on mortgage servicing rights and at December 31, 2018, a $58,000 valuation allowance was required on mortgage servicing rights. At September 30, 2019, a $7,000 valuation allowance was required on commercial servicing rights with a term less than 20 years and no valuation allowance was required on commercial servicing rights with a term greater than 20 years. At December 31, 2018, no valuation allowance was required on commercial servicing rights with a term less than 20 years and no valuation allowance was required on commercial servicing rights with a term greater than 20 years.
