Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Commitments and Letters of Credit Standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by First Commonwealth to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The contract or notional amount of these instruments reflects the maximum amount of future payments that First Commonwealth could be required to pay under the guarantees if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. In addition, many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The following table identifies the notional amount of those instruments at:
| March 31, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
| (dollars in thousands)
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: |  |  |
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 1,645,977 |  |  | $ | 1,635,948 |
Financial standby letters of credit | 27,858 |  |  | 36,075 |
Performance standby letters of credit | 26,490 |  |  | 25,915 |
Commercial letters of credit | 2,584 |  |  | 2,611 |
The notional amounts outstanding as of March 31, 2015 include amounts issued in 2015 of $1.5 million in performance standby letters of credit. There were no financial standby or commercial letters of credit issued during 2015. A liability of $0.2 million has been recorded as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, which represents the estimated fair value of letters of credit issued. The fair value of letters of credit is estimated based on the unrecognized portion of fees received at the time the commitment was issued. Unused commitments and letters of credit provide exposure to future credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower or guaranteed parties. Management’s evaluation of the credit risk related to these commitments resulted in the recording of a liability of $3.6 million as of March 31, 2015 and $3.1 million as of December 31, 2014. This liability is reflected in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The credit risk evaluation incorporated probability of default, loss given default and estimated utilization for the next twelve months for each loan category and the letters of credit. Legal Proceedings There are no material legal proceedings to which First Commonwealth or its subsidiaries are a party, or of which their property is the subject, except proceedings which arise in the normal course of business and, in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated operations, financial position, comprehensive income or cash flow of First Commonwealth or its subsidiaries.
