Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Income taxes
Patriot recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets (“DTA”s) and liabilities (“DTL”s) are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on DTAs and DTLs of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

In certain circumstances DTAs are subject to reduction by a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is subject to ongoing adjustment based on changes in circumstances that affect management’s judgment about the realizability of the deferred tax asset. Adjustments to increase or decrease the valuation allowance are charged or credited to the deferred tax component of the income tax provision or benefit.

The Company recognize deferred tax assets to the extent we believe it is more likely than not the asset will be realized. Quarterly, management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of existing deferred tax assets, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted, and the results of recent operations. A significant piece of objective negative evidence is the existence of a three or four year cumulative loss. Such objective negative evidence limits the ability of management to consider other subjective evidence, such as projected taxable income. When appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Based on our assessment performed as of September 30, 2024, we determined that a full valuation allowance was appropriate against the Company’s U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. This resulted in an increase in income tax expense of approximately $25.1 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024. Currently, the key factor on the Company’s assumption of providing 100% valuation allowance was purely based on our 3-year cumulative operating losses. Once we begin generating profits, we will re-evaluate whether providing 100% valuation allowance is appropriate or if we can reassess that allowance.
Digital Payments Division
Non-interest income - Digital Payments Division
The Digital Payments Division ("DPD") provides solutions to our customers in the form of acceptance, processing and settlement of prepaid, debit, and charge card payments and accounts. Each of our customers, called Program Managers (“PMs”), signs a services agreement with the Bank with customized terms and fees. The typical fees include start-up fees and transaction fees, and the fees will vary by relationship. The start-up fees are to compensate the Bank for costs of due diligence on the PMs and the program, and to onboard the PMs and programs onto our infrastructure. The transaction fees are typically based on a charge per transaction settled, or a rate on the total dollar settlement volume in a month. The fees are billed after the activities occur and collected monthly.
The Bank receives interchange revenue from the networks, both MasterCard and Visa. The interchange revenue is a unique amount per transaction that settles to the Bank through their networks on a daily basis. As a part of the Program Manager services agreement, the Bank may share part or all of the interchange revenue with the PM. The interchange revenue is recognized as point in time transactions for the Bank and records a reduction of the revenue for any part of the interchange revenue that is shared with the PM. The networks, both MasterCard and Visa, charge fees to the merchant for utilization of the network, and the fees that are collected are paid to the Bank. The interchange rate may vary, as most transaction types have their own unique rate charged by the network at the time the purchase is completed.

Recently issued Accounting Pronouncements not yet Adopted
ASU 2023-06
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification. Certain of the amendments represent clarifications to or technical corrections of the current requirements. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively. For all entities, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. The adoption of ASU 2023-06 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations but could change certain disclosures. The Company will continue to monitor for SEC action, and plan accordingly for adoption.
ASU 2023-07
In November, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. Additionally, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment and define other disclosure requirements. A public entity must apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations but could change certain disclosures.
ASU 2023-09
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023‑09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires more detailed disclosures of income taxes paid net of refunds received, income from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense from continuing operations. This standard is to be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted, and will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2025. We do not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements but will likely result in additional disclosures.
