Guarantees [Abstract] |
Guarantees [Text Block] | NOTE 18 – GUARANTEES At June 30, 2016, the unamortized balance of the obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees under standby letters of credit represented a liability of $2.3 million (December 31, 2015 - $14.7 million). As a result of the BBVAPR Acquisition, the Company assumed a liability for residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse pursuant to FNMA’s residential mortgage loan sales and securitization programs. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the unpaid princ ipal balance of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse was $21.1 million and $22.4 million, respectively. The following table shows the changes in the Company’s liability for estimated losses from these credit recourse agreements, included in the unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition during the quarters and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

The estimated losses to be absorbed under the credit recourse arrangements were recorded as a liability when the credit recourse was assumed, and are updated on a quarterly basis. The expected loss, which represents the amount expected to be lost on a given loan, considers the probability of default and loss severity. The probability of default represents the probability that a loan in good standing would become 120 days delinquent, in which case the Company is obligated to repurchase the loan. The reco urse obligation will be fully extinguished before the end of 2017. If a borrower defaults, pursuant to the credit recourse provided, the Company is required to repurchase the loan or reimburse the third party investor for the incurred loss. The maximum p otential amount of future payments that the Company would be required to make under the recourse arrangements is equivalent to the total outstanding balance of the residential mortgage loans serviced with recourse and interest, if applicable. During the qu arter and six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company repurchased approximately $83 thousand and $2 88 thousand, respectively of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans subject to the credit recourse provisions. During the qu arter and six-mon th period ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased approximately $1.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans subject to the credit recourse provisions. If a borrower defaults, the Company has rights t o the underlying collateral securing the mortgage loan. The Company suffers losses on these mortgage loans when the proceeds from a foreclosure sale of the collateral property are less than the outstanding principal balance of the loan, any uncollected int erest advanced, and the costs of holding and disposing the related property. At June 30, 2016, the Company’s liability for estimated credit losses related to loans sold with credit recourse amounted to $16 2 thousand (December 31, 2015– $439 thousand). When the Company sells or securitizes mortgage loans, it generally makes customary representations and warranties regarding the characteristics of the loans sold. The Company's mortgage operations division groups conforming mortgage loans into pools whic h are exchanged for FNMA and GNMA mortgage-backed securities that are generally sold to private investors, or are sold directly to FNMA or other private investors for cash. As required under such mortgage backed securities programs, quality review procedur es are performed by the Company to ensure that asset guideline qualifications are met. To the extent the loans do not meet specified characteristics, the Company may be required to repurchase such loans or indemnify for losses and bear any subsequent loss related to the loans. During the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company repurchased $817 thousand and $2.3 million, respectively, of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans, excluding mortgage loans subject to credit recourse provisions referred to above. During the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased $2.7 million and $11.7 million, respectively, of unpaid principal balance in mortgage loans, excluding mortgage loans subject to credit recourse provisions referred to above. During the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized $92 thousand and $1 1 1 thousand, respectively, in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit re course, and $329 thousand and $830 thousand, respectively, in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans as a result of breaches of the customary representations and warranties. During the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized $476 thousand and $583 thousand, respectively, in losses from the repurchase of residential mortgage loans sold subject to credit recourse, and $742 thousand and $1.5 million, respectively, in losses from the repurchase of resident ial mortgage loans as a result of breaches of the customary representations and warranties. Servicing agreements relating to the mortgage-backed securities programs of FNMA and GNMA, and to mortgage loans sold or serviced to certain other investors, inclu ding the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), require the Company to advance funds to make scheduled payments of principal, interest, taxes and insurance, if such payments have not been received from the borrowers. At June 30, 2016, the C ompany serviced $726.6 million in mortgage loans for third-parties. The Company generally recovers funds advanced pursuant to these arrangements from the mortgage owner, from liquidation proceeds when the mortgage loan is foreclosed or, in the case of FHA/VA loans, under the applicable FHA and VA insurance and guarantees programs. However, in the meantime, the Company must absorb the cost of the funds it advances during the time the advance is outstanding. The Company must also bear the costs of attempting to collect on delinquent and defaulted mortgage loans. In addition, if a defaulted loan is not cured, the mortgage loan would be canceled as part of the foreclosure proceedings and the Company would not receive any future servicing income with respect to t hat loan. At June 30, 2016, the outstanding balance of funds advanced by the Company under such mortgage loan servicing agreements was approximately $339 thousand (December 31, 2015 - $301 thousand). To the extent the mortgage loans underlying the Com pany's servicing portfolio experience increased delinquencies, the Company would be required to dedicate additional cash resources to comply with its obligation to advance funds as well as incur additional administrative costs related to increases in colle ction efforts.
