Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES ChoiceOne is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. ChoiceOne utilizes interest rate derivatives as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. Derivative instruments represent contracts between parties that result in one party delivering cash to the other party based on a notional amount and an underlying term (such as a rate, security price or price index) as specified in the contract. The amount of cash delivered from one party to the other is determined based on the interaction of the notional amount of the contract with the underlying term. Derivatives are also implicit in certain contracts and commitments. ChoiceOne currently uses interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to manage its exposure to certain fixed and variable rate assets and variable rate liabilities. ChoiceOne recognizes derivative financial instruments in the consolidated financial statements at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the instrument. ChoiceOne records derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the balance sheet within other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized in income or in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting and, if so, whether it qualifies as a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge. Interest rate swaps ChoiceOne uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy to add stability to net interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for ChoiceOne making fixed-rate payments or the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for ChoiceOne making variable rate payments, over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. In the second quarter of 2022, ChoiceOne entered into two pay-floating/receive-fixed interest rate swaps (the “Pay Floating Swap Agreements”) for a total notional amount of $200.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges. These derivatives hedge the variable cash flows of specifically identified available-for-sale securities, cash and loans. The Pay Floating Swap Agreements were determined to be highly effective during the periods presented and therefore no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. The Pay Floating Swap Agreements will pay a coupon rate equal to SOFR while receiving a fixed coupon rate of 2.41%. Net cash settlements received YTD on pay-floating/ received-fixed swaps were $773,000 as of September 30, 2022, which were included in interest income. In the second quarter of 2022, ChoiceOne entered into one forward starting pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swap (the “Pay Fixed Swap Agreement”) for a notional amount of $200.0 million that was designated as a cash flow hedge. This derivative hedges the risk of variability in cash flows attributable to forecasted payments on future deposits or floating rate borrowings indexed to the SOFR Rate. The Pay Fixed Swap Agreement is two years forward starting with an eight-year term set to expire in 2032. The Pay Fixed Swap Agreements will pay a fixed coupon rate of 2.75% while receiving the SOFR Rate. Interest rate caps ChoiceOne also uses interest rate caps to provide stability to net interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate caps designated as hedges involve the payment of a fixed premium by ChoiceOne who will then receive payment equivalent to the spread between the current rate and the strike rate until the conclusion of the term from the counterparty. In the second quarter of 2022, ChoiceOne entered into four forward starting interest rate cap agreements with a total notional amount of $200.0 million (“SOFR Cap Agreements”). Three of the SOFR Cap Agreements with a total notional amount of $100.0 million are designated as fair value hedges and hedge against changes in the fair value of certain fixed rate tax-exempt municipal bonds. ChoiceOne utilizes the interest rate caps as hedges against adverse changes in interest rates on the designated securities attributable to fluctuations in the SOFR rate above 2.68%, as applicable. An increase in the benchmark interest rate hedged reduces the fair value of these assets. The remaining SOFR Cap Agreement with a notional amount of $100.0 million is designated as a cash flow hedge and hedges against the risk of variability in cash flows attributable to fluctuations in the SOFR rate above 2.68% for forecasted payments on future deposits or borrowings indexed to the SOFR Rate. All of the SOFR Cap Agreements are two-year forward starting with an eight-year term set to expire in 2032. The initial amount excluded from hedge effectiveness testing and amortized into earnings over the life of the interest rate cap derivatives is $16.5 million.
