The Company reviews for other-than-temporary impairment of its investment securities portfolio at least quarterly. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, only investment grade securities were in an unrealized loss position or the amount of unrealized loss for the security was not significant. Investment securities with unrealized losses are generally a result of pricing changes due to recent changes in the current interest rate environment and not as a result of permanent credit impairment. Contractual cash flows for the mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed and/or funded by the U.S. government. Municipal securities show no indication that the contractual cash flows will not be received when due. The Company does not intend to sell nor does it believe that it will be required to sell any of its temporarily impaired securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost.

Restricted equity investments consisted of stock in the FHLB (carrying value of $6.0 million and $5.8 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively), FRB stock (carrying value of $4.9 million and $2.2 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively), and stock in the Company’s correspondent bank (carrying value of $468 thousand and $248 thousand as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively). Restricted equity investments are carried at cost. The Company also has various other equity investments, including shares in other financial institutions and fintech companies, totaling $7.9 million and $3.0 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which are carried at fair value with any gain or loss reported in the consolidated income statements each reporting period.
