Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	NOTE 10 – Subsequent Events On July 26, 2024, ChoiceOne completed an underwritten public offering of 1,380,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $25.00 per share, including 180,000 shares of common stock sold pursuant to the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments, which was exercised in full. The aggregate gross proceeds of the offering were approximately $34.5 million before deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. The proceeds from the offering will qualify as tangible common equity and Tier 1 common equity. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes including supplementing regulatory capital ratios and in conjunction with its announced merger with Fentura Financial, Inc. On July 25, 2024, ChoiceOne and Fentura Financial, Inc. (“Fentura”), the parent company of The State Bank, announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which ChoiceOne and Fentura will merge in an all-stock transaction. The agreement was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of Fentura common stock outstanding immediately prior to completion of the merger will be converted into the right to receive 1.35 shares of ChoiceOne common stock. Once completed, the combination will create the third largest publicly traded bank in Michigan with approximately $4.3 billion in consolidated total assets and 56 offices in Western, Central and Southeastern Michigan. The proposed transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of approval from Fentura and ChoiceOne shareholders and receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
