Derivatives [Abstract]
DERIVATIVES	Note 5 DERIVATIVES The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s subordinated debt. Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $ 30 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were designated as a cash flow hedge for subordinated debt. Under the swap arrangement, the Company will pay a fixed interest rate of 2.50 % and receive a variable interest rate based on three-month CME Term SOFR (secured overnight financing rate). For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate subordinated debt. The following table reflects the cash flow hedges included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
