Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Business Combinations and Divestitures | Business Combinations and Divestitures On February 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Access National Corporation (and its subsidiaries), a bank holding company based in Reston, Virginia for a purchase price of approximately $500.0 million. Access's common stockholders received 0.75 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for each share of Access's common stock, resulting in the Company issuing 15,842,026 shares of common stock. In addition, the Company paid cash of approximately$12,000 in lieu of fractional shares. In connection with the transaction, the Company recorded $200.6 million in goodwill and $44.2 million of amortizable assets, which primarily relate to core deposit intangibles. The Company currently estimates that these other intangibles assets will be amortized over 10 years using various methods. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition
Affordable Housing Entities | Affordable Housing Entities The Company invests in private investment funds that make equity investments in multifamily affordable housing properties that provide affordable housing tax credits for these investments. The activities of these entities are financed with a combination of invested equity capital and debt.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Adoption of New Accounting Standards On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The adoption of this standard required lessees to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed the Company to not reassess the lease classification of existing leases, as well as not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease; and maintain consistent treatment of initial direct costs on existing leases. In addition, the Company elected the short-term lease exemption practical expedient in which leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company also elected the practical expedient related to accounting for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Adoption of this standard resulted in the Company recording a lease liability of $53.2 million and right of use assets of $48.9 million as of January 1, 2019. Operating leases have been included within other assets and other liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The implementation of this standard resulted in a $1.1 million decrease to Retained Earnings. There was no impact on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Refer to Note 6 "Leases" for further discussion regarding the adoption. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." This ASU amends the Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2019 using the prospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU contains significant differences from existing GAAP and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. This ASU updates the existing guidance to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The CECL model will replace the Company's current accounting for PCI and impaired loans. This ASU also amends the AFS debt securities OTTI model. The Company has established a cross-functional governance structure for the implementation of CECL. In addition, the Company is beginning the process of validating the models that will be used upon adoption of the standard. The implementation of this ASU will result in increases to the Company's reserves for credit losses of financial instruments; however, the quantitative impact cannot be reasonably estimated since this ASU relies on economic conditions and trends that will impact the Company's portfolio at the time of adoption. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact ASU No. 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

- Definition Disclosure of accounting policy for completed business combinations (purchase method, acquisition method or combination of entities under common control). This accounting policy may include a general discussion of the purchase method or acquisition method of accounting (including for example, the treatment accorded contingent consideration, the identification of assets and liabilities, the purchase price allocation process, how the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities are determined) and the entity's specific application thereof. An entity that acquires another entity in a leveraged buyout transaction generally discloses the accounting policy followed by the acquiring entity in determining the basis used to value its interest in the acquired entity, and the rationale for that accounting policy. + References Reference 1: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/legacyRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 805 -SubTopic 10 -Section 05 -Paragraph 4 -Subparagraph (a)-(d) -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6909625&loc=d3e227-128457 Reference 2: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/legacyRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=84158767&loc=d3e18780-107790 + Details
