Restricted Stock Plan (Notes)	9 Months Ended
Restricted Stock Plan (Notes)	Sep. 30, 2020
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block]	Restricted Stock Plan On June 24, 2020 we adopted the RSP, an equity-based bonus plan. The primary purpose of the plan is to promote our growth and profitability by attracting and retaining executive officers and key employees of outstanding competence through ownership of equity that provides them with incentives to achieve corporate objectives. In connection with the adoption of the RSP, the Isabella Bank Corporation Stock Award Incentive Plan was terminated. Under the RSP, we may award restricted stock bonuses to eligible employees on an annual basis that are not fully transferable or vested until certain conditions are met. Currently, the eligible employees are the Corporation's President and CEO, CFO and the Bank's President. The RSP authorizes the issuance of unvested restricted stock to an eligible employee with a maximum award ranging from 25% to 40% of the employee’s annual salary, on a calendar year basis. The employee must also satisfy the annual performance targets and measures established by the Board of Directors. If these grant conditions are not satisfied, then the award of restricted shares will lapse or be adjusted appropriately, at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Also on June 24, 2020, we made initial grants under the RSP to eligible employees listed above. All Grant Agreements contain vesting conditions and clawback provisions. As of September 30, 2020, we did not believe the achievement of the targets specified in an award pursuant to the RSP to be probable and therefore, did not recognize any compensation expense pursuant to the RSP.
