Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | (13.) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk The Company has financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk established in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk extending beyond the amounts recognized in the financial statements. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved with extending loans to customers. The Company uses the same credit underwriting policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for on-balance sheet instruments. Off-balance sheet commitments consist of the following (in thousands):
|  | September 30, 2025 |  |  | December 31, 2024 |
Commitments to extend credit |  | $ | 1,441,001 |  |  | $ | 1,273,646 |
Standby letters of credit |  |  | 21,835 |  |  |  | 14,559 |
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the agreement. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses which may require payment of a fee. Commitments may expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Standby letters of credit are conditional lending commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Unfunded Commitments At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments totaled $4.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively, and was included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition. The credit loss for unfunded commitments was as follows (in thousands):
|  | Three months ended September 30, |  |  | Nine months ended September 30, |
|  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |
Credit loss for unfunded commitments |  | $ | 670 |  |  | $ | 713 |  |  | $ | 491 |  |  | $ | 186 |
(13.) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued) Contingent Liabilities and Litigation On March 7, 2025, following a mediation held on February 28, 2025, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (“the Settlement Agreement”) with plaintiffs in the previously disclosed class action lawsuit to which the Company and the Bank are parties, brought by borrowers in New York and Pennsylvania in Pennsylvania state court regarding notices the Bank sent to defaulting borrowers after their vehicles were repossessed, which were alleged to have not fully complied with the relevant portions of the Uniform Commercial Code in both states. As part of the Settlement Agreement, which is subject to court approval, the Company agreed to make a cash payment in the amount of $29.5 million in full resolution of the matter. The Company does not anticipate that additional amounts will be accrued for this matter in 2025 or other future periods. The Company determined that the March 7, 2025 event met the definition of a recognized subsequent event in accordance with ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, at the December 31, 2024 balance sheet date, and recorded a $23.0 million pre-tax litigation accrual, which reflects the agreed upon settlement less approximately $6.5 million of available related insurance proceeds, in the Company’s December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statements. The settlement resulted in an after-tax loss of approximately $17.1 million in 2024. On March 20, 2025, Plaintiffs filed an uncontested motion seeking preliminary approval of the settlement which was approved by the court on July 29, 2025. The court set a final approval hearing date for November 4, 2025 and the settlement administrator mailed the class notices to all class members. Plaintiffs are required to file a motion for final court approval by October 31, 2025.
