Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Credit extension commitments

The Company’s financial statements do not reflect various financial instruments which arise in the normal course of business and which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit (e.g., revolving lines of credit) and commercial letters of credit.

Many of our lending relationships contain both funded and unfunded elements. The funded portion is reflected on our balance sheet. The unfunded portion of these commitments is not recorded on our balance sheet until a draw is made under the loan facility. Since many of our commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements.

A summary of the contractual amounts of the Company’s financial instruments outstanding at September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, is as follows (in thousands):


	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Commitments to extend credit	$	995,782	$	278,923
Commercial letters of credit	62,474		10,718

Commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit both include exposure to some credit loss in the event of non-performance of the customer. The Company’s credit policies and procedures for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for extensions of credit that are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Many of these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and many of them will expire without being drawn upon; accordingly, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Company.

Allowance for credit losses - off-balance-sheet credit exposures

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $62.0 thousand and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $35.0 thousand and a recapture of $69.8 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The ACL on off-balance-sheet credit totaled $4.1 million and $254.2 thousand as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and is included in accrued interest and other liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Litigation

The Company is a party to litigation, claims, and proceedings arising in the normal course of business that are ordinary and routine to the nature of the Company’s business and operations. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from any currently pending or threatened litigation, claims, or proceedings will not be material to the Company’s financial position.
