Loan payments are considered timely when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement or any portion thereof is received on the due date of the scheduled payment.

Nonaccrual loans are generally loans placed on a nonaccrual basis when they become 90 days past due or when there are otherwise serious doubts about the collectability of principal or interest within the existing terms of the loan. The Company’s policy is to write-off all accrued interest on loans when they are placed on nonaccrual status. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company wrote-off $783 thousand and $5 thousand of accrued interest on commercial and consumer loans, respectively, as a reduction to interest income. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company wrote-off $539 thousand and $79 thousand of accrued interest on commercial and consumer loans, respectively, as a reduction to interest income.

The following summarizes the amortized cost of nonaccrual loans for which there was no related ACL as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The Company’s loans classified as TDR are loans that have been modified or with respect to which the borrower has been granted special concessions due to financial difficulties that, if not for the challenges of the borrower, the Company would not otherwise consider. The TDR modifications or concessions are made to increase the likelihood that these borrowers with financial difficulties will be able to satisfy their debt obligations as amended. The concessions granted in the restructurings, summarized in the table above, largely consisted of maturity extensions, interest rate modifications or a combination of both. In limited circumstances, a reduction in the principal balance of the loan could also be made as a concession. Loans classified as TDR are included with the loans collectively measured for credit losses.

The Company had commitments to lend $812 thousand of additional funds on loans classified as TDR as of March 31, 2020. The Company had $1.1 million of such commitments at December 31, 2019. The Company did not have any loans modified as TDR that defaulted within 12 months of being modified as TDR during the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company had one $26 thousand consumer loan that defaulted within 12 months of being modified as a TDR. The defaulted TDR loan was collateralized and included with the loans individually measured for credit loss.

Modifications in response to COVID-19

The Company began offering short-term loan modifications to assist borrowers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act along with a joint agency statement issued by the federal banking agencies provides that short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 do not need to be accounted for as a TDR. Accordingly, the Company does not account for such loan modifications as TDRs. The Company’s loan modifications allow for the deferral of four months of principal and interest. The deferred interest is due and payable at the end of the deferral period and the deferred principal is due and payable on the maturity date. At March 31, 2020, we had granted short-term payment deferrals on $165.1 million of loans. The program is ongoing and additional loans continue to be granted deferrals.
