Mortgage Banking Activities [Abstract]
Mortgage Banking Activities	NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES The Company’s mortgage banking activities include mandatory delivery loan sales, forward sales contracts used to manage residential loan pipeline price risk, utilization of warehouse lines to fund secondary market residential loan closings, and residential mortgage servicing. Residential Mortgage Loan Production The Company originates, markets, and services conventional and government -sponsored residential mortgage loans. Generally, conforming fixed rate residential mortgage loans are held for sale in the secondary market and non-conforming and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans may be held for investment. The volume of residential mortgage loans originated for sale and secondary market prices are the primary drivers of origination revenue. Residential mortgage loan commitments are generally outstanding for 30 to 90 days, which represents the typical period from commitment to originate a residential mortgage loan to when the closed loan is sold to an investor. Residential mortgage loan commitments are subject to both credit and price risk. Credit risk is managed through underwriting policies and procedures, including collateral requirements, which are generally accepted by the secondary loan markets. Price risk is primarily related to interest rate fluctuations and is partially managed through forward sales of residential mortgage -backed securities (primarily to-be announced securities, or TBAs) or mandatory delivery commitments with investors. The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans held for sale, notional amounts of derivative contracts related to residential mortgage loan commitments and forward contract sales and their related fair values are set- forth below.

The unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for others is the primary driver of servicing revenue. The following represents a summary of mortgage servicing rights. (Dollars in Thousands) September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Number of residential mortgage loans serviced for others 411 1,769 Outstanding principal balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for others $ 97,479 $ 410,740 Weighted average interest rate 5.38% 3.62% Remaining contractual term (in months) 306 298 Conforming conventional loans serviced by the Company are sold to Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) on a non- recourse basis, whereby foreclosure losses are generally the responsibility of FNMA and not the Company. The government loans serviced by the Company are secured through the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), whereby the Company is insured against loss by the Federal Housing Administration or partially guaranteed against loss by the Veterans Administration. At September 30, 2023, the servicing portfolio balance consisted of the following loan types: FNMA ( 9 %), GNMA ( 1 %), and private investor ( 90 %). FNMA and private investor loans are structured as actual/actual payment remittance. The Company had no delinquent residential mortgage loans in GNMA pools serviced by the Company at September 30, 2023 and $ 0.3 million at December 31, 2022, respectively. The right to repurchase these loans and the corresponding liability has been recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased $ 0.8 million and $ 2.2 million, respectively, in delinquent residential loans that were in GNMA pools. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased $ 0.3 million and $ 1.3 million, respectively, in delinquent residential loans from the GNMA pools. When delinquent residential loans are repurchased, the Company has the intention to modify their terms and include the loans in new GNMA pools.

The Company did no t record any permanent impairment losses on mortgage servicing rights for the three months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. The key unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights were as follows: September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Minimum Maximum Minimum Maximum Discount rates 9.50% 12.00% 9.50% 12.00% Annual prepayment speeds 10.58% 16.83% 12.33% 20.23% Cost of servicing (per loan) $ 85 $ 95 $ 85 $ 95 Changes in residential mortgage interest rates directly affect the prepayment speeds used in valuing the Company’s mortgage servicing rights. A separate third party model is used to estimate prepayment speeds based on interest rates, housing turnover rates, estimated loan curtailment, anticipated defaults, and other relevant factors. The weighted average annual prepayment speed was 13.81 % at September 30, 2023 and 13.42 % at December 31, 2022.
