Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS	RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain of our executive officers and directors, and their related interests, are customers of, or have had transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business, including deposits, loans and other financial services related transactions. From time to time, the Bank may make loans to executive officers and directors, and their related interests, in the ordinary course of business and on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those of comparable transactions with non-insiders prevailing at the time, in accordance with the Bank’s underwriting guidelines, and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. As of March 31, 2020, no related party loans were categorized as nonaccrual, past due, restructured or potential problem loans. The Bank also has an Employee Loan Program which is available to all employees and offers executive officers, directors and principal stockholders that meet the eligibility requirements the opportunity to participate on the same terms as employees generally, provided that any loan to an executive officer, director or principal stockholder must be approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors. The sole benefit provided under the Employee Loan Program is a reduction in loan fees. Transactions with Related Parties The Company and the Bank have engaged in transactions described below with the Company’s current or former directors, executive officers, and beneficial owners of more than 5 percent of the outstanding shares of the Company’s voting common stock and certain persons related to them. As previously disclosed, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized and directed the Company to provide indemnification, advancement and/or reimbursement for the costs of separate independent counsel retained by any then-current officer or director, in their individual capacity, with respect to matters related to (i) an investigation by the Special Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, (ii) a formal order of investigation issued by the SEC on January 4, 2017 (since resolved) and (iii) any related civil or administrative proceedings against the Company as well as officers and directors currently or previously associated with the Company (collectively, the “Indemnity Matters”). Indemnification costs were paid on behalf of certain executive officers and directors in amounts less than $120 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, indemnification costs paid by the Company included $2.2 million incurred by the Company’s former Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer Steven A.
