Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk [Abstract] |
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk | Note 14: Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and interest rate locks. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company may require collateral or other security to support the following financial instruments with credit risk. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

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. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines, and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit. Some of these commitments are uncollateralized and do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. The Company originates mortgage loans for sale to secondary market investors subject to contractually specified and limited recourse provisions. In 2012, the Company originated $22,747 and sold $22,574 to investors, compared to $13,582 originated and $13,419 sold in 2011. Every contract with each investor contains certain recourse language. In general, the Company may be required to repurchase a previously sold mortgage loan if there is major noncompliance with defined loan origination or documentation standards, including fraud, negligence or material misstatement in the loan documents. Repurchase may also be required if necessary governmental loan guarantees are canceled or never issued, or if an investor is forced to buy back a loan after it has been resold as a part of a loan pool. In addition, the Company may have an obligation to repurchase a loan if the mortgagor has defaulted early in the loan term. This potential default period is approximately twelve months after sale of a loan to the investor. At December 31, 2012, the Company had locked-rate commitments to originate mortgage loans amounting to approximately $408 and loans held for sale of $2,796. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. The Company maintains cash accounts in other commercial banks. The amount on deposit with correspondent institutions at December 31, 2012 that exceeded the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was $4. The FDIC's Transaction Account Guarantee Program ("TAG") provided unlimited coverage for noninterest bearing deposit accounts. The Company's deposits with other commercial banks were subject to the TAG coverage. The TAG expired December 31, 2012. The Company does not expect that the expiration of the TAG program will significantly affect the off-balance sheet risk associated with its deposits in other commercial banks.
