Consumer Lending Credit Quality Indicators

The Company evaluates the credit quality of its consumer loan portfolio based on the aging status of the loan and by payment activity. Loan delinquency reporting is based upon borrower payment activity relative to the contractual terms of the loan. The following tables present the classes of financing receivables within the consumer portfolio segment by credit quality indicator based on delinquency status and origination year:

Commercial Lending Credit Quality Indicators

The Company evaluates the credit quality of its commercial loan portfolio based on regulatory risk ratings. The Company categorizes loans and leases into risk ratings based on relevant information about the quality and realizable value of collateral, if any, and the ability of borrowers to service their debts, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans and leases individually by classifying the loans and leases based on their associated credit risk and performs this analysis whenever credit is extended, renewed or modified, or when an observable event occurs indicating a potential decline in credit quality, and no less than annually for large balance loans. Risk rating classifications consist of the following:

Pass – Loans and leases that the Company believes will fully repay in accordance with the contractual loan terms.

Special Mention – Loans and leases with a potential weakness that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard – Loans and leases that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligator or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans and leases so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment and liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Normal payment from the borrower is in jeopardy, although loss of principal, while still possible, is not imminent.

Doubtful – Loans and leases that have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss – Loans and leases that are considered uncollectible and of little value.

Loan Modifications

The Company has the following programs to modify loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The table below presents the amortized cost of loans that were modified during the year ended December 31, 2023, by modification type and delinquency status:

	Combination – Interest Payment Reduction and Term Extension			Debt Settlement
Unsecured personal
Current	$	7,741		$	70
30-59 days	348			85
60-89 days	172			669
90 or more days	265			6,526
Total loan modifications	$	8,526		$	7,350
Percentage of total unsecured personal loans at amortized cost as of end of period	0.2		%	0.2		%

The Company’s Combination modifications primarily provide borrowers with a short-term reduction in monthly payments, resulting in a term extension of approximately six months or greater compared to the original maturity date of the loan. In addition, the Company’s Debt Settlement modifications, which include engaging with third-party debt settlement companies, reduce the principal and interest amounts owed by borrowers. The Company typically charges-off such Debt Settlement loans within a few months following the modification, as payments under the modified agreement are less than the original contractual amounts.

In the event of a borrower defaulting at 120 days past due, the modified loan is charged-off at the time of default. The total amount of charge-offs subsequent to modification related to Combination and Debt Settlement modifications was $0.5 million and $53.1 million, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Nonaccrual Assets

Nonaccrual loans and leases are those for which accrual of interest has been suspended. Loans and leases are generally placed on nonaccrual status when contractually past due 90 days or more, or earlier if management believes that the probability of collection does not warrant further accrual, and are charged-off no later than 120 days past due.

The following table presents nonaccrual loans and leases:

Collateral-Dependent Assets

Certain loans on non-accrual status may be considered collateral-dependent loans if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is expected to be substantially through sale or operation of the collateral. Expected credit losses for the Company’s collateral-dependent loans are calculated as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell, if applicable.
