Restrictions on Dividends, Loans and Advances [Text Block] | Note 11 : Restrictions on Dividends The Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from its subsidiary bank. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, dividends received from the subsidiary bank were $8,141, $9,071 and $7,930, respectively. National Bankshares Financial Services provided $350 in dividends to Bankshares in 2016. Substantially all of Bankshares’ retained earnings are undistributed earnings of its sole banking subsidiary, which are restricted by various regulations administered by federal bank regulatory agencies. Bank regulatory agencies restrict, without prior approval, the total dividend payments of a bank in any calendar year to the bank’s retained net income of that year to date, as defined, combined with its retained net income of the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. At December 31, 2017, NBB’s retained net income, which was free of such restriction, amounted to approximately $20,820.
