Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures, Commitments and Other Contingencies | Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures, Commitments and Other Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial commitments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial commitments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit, and interest rate risk not recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company had the following outstanding financial commitments whose contractual amount represents credit risk as of the dates indicated:
|  | March 31, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
($ in thousands) |  | Fixed Rate |  | Variable Rate |  | Fixed Rate |  | Variable Rate
Unused lines of credit |  | $ | 8,586 |  |  | $ | 375,447 |  |  | $ | 2,808 |  |  | $ | 347,652 |
Unfunded loan commitments |  | 1,592 |  |  | 42,979 |  |  | 4,020 |  |  | 47,038 |
Standby letters of credit |  | — |  |  | 6,423 |  |  | 4,638 |  |  | 1,786 |
Commercial letters of credit |  | — |  |  | 135 |  |  | — |  |  | 160 |
Total |  | $ | 10,178 |  |  | $ | 424,984 |  |  | $ | 11,466 |  |  | $ | 396,636 |
Unfunded loan commitments are generally made for periods of 90 days or less, except for SBA loans that are generally made for periods of 180 days or less. The Company applies an expected credit loss estimation methodology applied to each respective loan segment for determining the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures. The loss estimation process includes assumptions for utilization at default. These assumptions are based on the Company’s own historical internal loan data. As a part of adoption of ASC 326, the Company recorded an initial adjustment to the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures of $1.6 million on January 1, 2023. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company maintained an ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures of $1.4 million and $1.3 million in Accrued Interest Payable and Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each client’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Litigation The Company is involved in various matters of litigation, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of pending matters of litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Network and Data Incident On August 30, 2021, the Bank identified unusual activity on its network. The Bank responded promptly to disable the activity, investigate its source and monitor the Bank’s network. The Bank subsequently became aware of claims that it had been the target of a ransomware attack. On September 7, 2021, the Bank determined that an external actor had illegally accessed and/or acquired certain data on its network. The Bank worked with third-party forensic investigators to understand the nature and scope of the incident and determine what information may have been accessed and/or acquired and who may have been impacted. The investigation revealed that this incident impacted certain files containing certain Bank customer information. Some of these files contained documents related to loan applications, such as tax returns, Form W-2 information of their employees, and payroll records. The Bank has notified all individuals identified as impacted, consistent with applicable laws. All impacted individuals were offered free Equifax Complete Premier credit monitoring and identify theft protection services. The Bank has notified law enforcement and appropriate authorities of the incident. On December 16, 2021, a complaint based on the incident was filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court seeking damages, injunctive relief, and equitable relief. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Bank agreed to settle this matter in exchange for $700 thousand to the putative class members, including costs of settlement administration, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Bank received preliminary court approval of the settlement and notice was provided to members of the proposed class during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The court has scheduled a final approval hearing for May 30, 2024. The Company expects that the full amount of the final settlement will be covered under the Company’s applicable insurance policies.
