Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]  
Stockholders' Equity Note 17 – Stockholders’ equityThe Company’s ability to pay dividends on its stock is largely dependent on dividends from its bank subsidiary, which are subject to comprehensive regulatory restrictions. Federal banking regulations prohibit a state member bank from paying dividends in any year beyond the sum of that year’s net income and the retained net profits of the prior two years without prior regulatory approval. In addition, Virginia law forbids any dividend that would impair the Bank’s paid-in capital; any deficit in originally contributed capital must be restored by earnings before a dividend is declared, and no dividend may be paid out of the Bank’s paid-in capital. The Virginia State Corporation Commission (the Bank’s state regulator) may further restrict or require approval of dividends if it determines such action is warranted by the Bank’s financial condition. Federal law (the Federal Deposit Insurance Act) similarly prohibits an insured depository institution from making any capital distribution – including dividends – that would leave the institution “undercapitalized” as defined by regulation. Moreover, the Federal Reserve (which supervises the Company as a bank holding company) has authority to prohibit or limit dividends that it deems an unsafe or unsound banking practice, even if the Bank would otherwise meet the above requirements. These restrictions, which are generally consistent with industry practice, ensure that banks and holding companies maintain strong capital positions and do not pay dividends that could compromise their financial stability. As of December 31, 2024, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable dividend regulations, and management believes the current regulatory restrictions will not materially limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
