Shareholders' Equity	9 Months Ended
Shareholders' Equity	Sep. 30, 2020
Equity [Abstract]
Shareholders' Equity	Shareholders’ Equity Dividends Paid The Bank paid to the Company cash dividends in the aggregate amounts of $6,913,000 and $7,011,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $46,361,000 and $25,361,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Bank is regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the State of California Department of Business Oversight (DBO). Absent approval from the Commissioner of the DBO, California banking laws generally limit the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the lesser of (1) retained earnings or (2) net income for the last three fiscal years, less cash distributions paid during such period. Stock Repurchase Plan On November 12, 2019 the Board of Directors approved the authorization to repurchase up to 1,525,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the 2019 Repurchase Plan), which approximated 5.0% of the shares outstanding as of the approval date. The actual timing of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company's management and therefore the total value of the shares to be purchased under the program is subject to change. The 2019 Repurchase Plan has no expiration date and during the year ended 2019, the Company had repurchased no shares. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased 0 and 813,862 shares with a market value of $0 and $24,809,000, respectively. In connection with approval of the 2019 Repurchase Plan, the Company’s previous repurchase program adopted on August 21, 2007 (the 2007 Repurchase Plan) was terminated. There were no shares of common stock repurchased under the 2007 Repurchase Plan during 2019. Stock Repurchased Under Equity Compensation Plans The Company's shareholder-approved equity compensation plans permit employees to tender recently vested shares in lieu of cash for the payment of withholding taxes on such shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, employees tendered 7,820 and 3,820 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock in connection with option exercises. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, employees tendered 12,488 and 108,492 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock in connection with option exercises. Employees also tendered 619 and 0 shares in connection with the tax withholding requirements of other share based awards during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 12,058 and 15,242 shares during the nine months period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In total, shares of the Company's common stock tendered had market values of $242,000 and $147,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $588,000 and $4,842,000 year to date September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The tendered shares were retired. The market value of tendered shares is the last market trade price at closing on the day an option is exercised or the other share based award vests. Stock repurchased under equity incentive plans are not included in the total of stock repurchased under the 2019 or 2007 Stock Repurchase Plans.
