General.
Certain of our executive officers and directors, and their related interests, are clients 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 December 31, 2020, no related party loans were categorized as nonaccrual, past due, restructured or potential problem loans.
Deposits from related parties and their affiliates amounted to $24.1 million and $11.6 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019. There are certain deposits described below, which are not included in the foregoing amounts.
