Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS HTLF sponsors a defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all employees. The plan includes matching contributions and non-elective contributions. Matching contributions and non-elective contributions are limited to a maximum amount of the participant's wages as defined by federal law. HTLF's subsidiaries made matching contributions of up to 3% of participants' wages in 2022, 2021, and 2020. Costs charged to operating expenses with respect to the matching contributions were $5.3 million, $5.1 million, and $4.1 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Non-elective contributions to this plan are subject to approval by the HTLF Board of Directors. The HTLF subsidiaries fund and record as an expense all approved contributions. Costs of these contributions, charged to operating expenses, were $5.8 million, $5.1 million, and $4.8 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, HTLF has a non-qualified defined contribution plan that allows eligible employees to make voluntary contributions into a deferred compensation plan. Any non-elective contributions to this plan are subject to approval by the HTLF Board of Directors. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the employer contributions to the non-qualified defined contribution plan were $222,500, $237,200 and $191,700, respectively, and are included in the matching contributions and non-elective contributions amounts noted above.
