Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
STOCK COMPENSATION | STOCK COMPENSATION On September 27, 2023, the Board adopted the Pathward Financial, Inc. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan") contingent on stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders expected to be held on February 27, 2024. The 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan permits the granting of various types of awards including but not limited to nonvested (restricted) shares and performance share units ("PSUs") to certain officers and directors of the Company. Awards may be granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors based on the performance of the award recipients or other relevant factors. Shares have previously been granted each year to executives and senior leadership members under the applicable Company incentive plan. These shares vest at various times ranging from immediately to three years based on circumstances at time of grant. The fair value is determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Director shares are issued to the Company’s directors, and these shares have historically vested one year from the grant date. The Company also grants selected executives and other key employees PSU awards. The vesting of these awards is contingent on meeting company-wide performance goals, including but not limited to return on equity, earnings per share, and total shareholder return. PSUs are generally granted at the market value of the underlying share on the date of grant, adjusted for dividends, as performance share units do not participate in dividends. The awards contingently vest over a period of three years and have payout levels ranging from a threshold of 50% to a maximum of 200%. Upon vesting, each performance share unit earned is converted into one share of common stock. The fair value of the PSUs is determined by the dividend-adjusted fair value on the grant date for those awards subject to a performance condition. For those PSUs subject to a market condition, a simulation valuation is performed. In addition, during the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2017, shares were granted to certain executive officers of the Company in connection with their signing of employment agreements with the Company. These stock awards vest in equal installments over eight years. The following tables show the activity of share awards (including shares of restricted stock subject to vesting, fully-vested restricted stock, and PSUs) granted, exercised or forfeited under all of the Company's incentive plans during the three months ended December 31, 2023.

(1) While no shares were granted during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, 150,522 of nonvested shares and 44,800 of target performance share units were issued under awards contingent on the stockholder approval of the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
(2) The activity in this table includes 60,984 shares related to the fiscal year 2021 performance share units, which are included in this table under the assumption of a target performance achievement. The final performance was assessed after September 30, 2023, resulted in an achievement greater than target, and an additional 47,252 shares were allocated to the participants in the plan.
Compensation expense for share-based awards is recorded over the vesting period at the fair value of the award at the time of the grant. The exercise price of fair value of nonvested (restricted) shares and PSUs granted under the Company’s incentive plans is equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock at the grant date, adjusted for dividends where applicable. The Company has elected to record forfeitures as they occur. At December 31, 2023, stock-based compensation expense not yet recognized in income totaled $4.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.27 years.
