Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Accounting [Text Block] | Note 1 - Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NorthWest Indiana Bancorp (the “Bancorp”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank SB (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Peoples Service Corporation, NWIN, LLC, NWIN Funding, Inc, and Columbia Development Company, LLC. The Bancorp has no other business activity other than being a holding company for the Bank. The Bancorp’s earnings are dependent upon the earnings of the Bank. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete presentation of consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheets of the Bancorp as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and changes in stockholders’ equity, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The income reported for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
