Organization and Nature of Operations [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Operations	Note A—Organization and Nature of Operations The Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware corporation and a registered financial holding company. Its primary subsidiary is a wholly owned subsidiary bank, The Bancorp Bank (the Bank). The Bank is a Delaware chartered commercial bank located in Wilmington, Delaware and is a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured institution. In its continuing operations, the Bank has four primary lines of specialty lending: securities-backed lines of credit (SBLOC), leasing, Small Business Administration (SBA) loans and loans generated for sale into capital markets primarily through commercial loan securitizations (CMBS). Through the Bank, the Company also provides banking services nationally, which include prepaid card accounts, private label banking, institutional banking, card payment and other payment processing. The Company and the Bank are subject to regulation by certain state and federal agencies and, accordingly, they are examined periodically by those regulatory authorities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note B—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  1. Basis of Presentation The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) and predominant practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances have been eliminated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The principal estimates that are particularly susceptible to a significant change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan and lease losses, investment in unconsolidated entity and assets held for sale from discontinued operations measured at fair value, investment other than temporary impairment (OTTI), investments measured at fair value and deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at their net realizable value. The Company performs an assessment each reporting period to evaluate the amount of the deferred tax asset it is more likely than not to realize. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the amount of taxable income expected in future periods, as tax benefits require taxable income to be realized. If a valuation allowance is required, the deferred tax asset on the consolidated balance sheet is reduced via a corresponding income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations. 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and amounts due from banks with an original maturity from date of purchase of three months or less and federal funds sold. The Company at times maintains balances in excess of insured limits at various financial institutions including the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other private institutions. The Company does not believe these instruments carry a significant risk of loss, but cannot provide assurances that no losses could occur if these institutions were to become insolvent. 3. Investment Securities Investments in debt securities which the Company has both the ability and intent to hold to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts computed by the effective interest method. Investments in debt and equity securities which management believes may be sold prior to maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, liquidity requirements, or other factors, are classified as available-for-sale. Net unrealized gains for such securities, net of tax effect, are reported as other comprehensive income, through equity and are excluded from the determination of net income. The unrealized losses for both the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities are evaluated to determine first if the impairment is other than temporary then to determine the amount of other-than-temporary impairment that is attributable to credit loss versus non-credit loss. If a credit loss is determined, an OTTI charge is recorded within the consolidated statement of operations. If management believes market value losses are temporary and it believes the Company has the ability and intention to hold those securities to maturity, for available for sale securities the reduction in value is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company does not engage in securities trading. Gains or losses on disposition of investment securities are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold using the specific identification method. The Company evaluates whether OTTI exists by considering primarily the following factors: (a) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security, (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer, (c) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (d) changes in the financial condition of the security’s underlying collateral and (e) the payment structure of the security. The Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows used to determine the amount of OTTI attributable to credit loss is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources and internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the security. The Company’s best estimate of future cash flows involves assumptions including, but not limited to, various performance indicators, such as historical and projected default and recovery rates, credit ratings, current delinquency rates, loan-to-value ratios and the possibility of obligor refinancing. These assumptions require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability of issuer default and estimates regarding timing and amount of expected recoveries which may include estimating the underlying collateral value. In addition, projections of expected future cash flows from a debt security may change based upon new information regarding the performance of the issuer and/or underlying collateral such as changes in the projections of the underlying property value estimates. The Company did no t recognize any OTTI charges in 2017, 2016 and 2015. 4. Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal and are net of unearned discounts, unearned loan fees and an allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for loan and lease losses charged to expense. Loan principal considered to be uncollectible by management is charged against the allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The evaluation takes into consideration historical losses by loan category and factors such as changes in the nature and size of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, specific problem loans and current economic conditions which may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. The resulting loss factors are applied to current total loan amounts to compute the historical loss component of the allowance. The historical loss component is added to allowance allocations for specific loans and an unallocated component and the allowance is adjusted to the total of those three components through the provision. Interest income is accrued as earned on a simple interest basis. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all accumulated accrued interest receivable applicable to periods prior to the current year is charged off to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Interest that had accrued in the current year is reversed from current period income. Loans reported as having missed four or more consecutive monthly payments and still accruing interest must have both principal and accruing interest adequately secured and must be in the process of collection. Such loans are reported as 90 days delinquent and still accruing. For all loan types, the Company uses the method of reporting delinquencies which considers a loan past due or delinquent if a monthly payment has not been received by the close of business on the loan’s next due date. In the Company’s reporting, two missed payments are reflected as 30 to 59 day delinquencies and three missed payments are reflected as 60 to 89 day delinquencies.  The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans and leases. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. Because all identified losses are immediately charged off, no portion of the allowance for loan losses is restricted to any individual loan or groups of loans, and the entire allowance is available to absorb any and all loan losses.  The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses includes, among other factors, an analysis of historical loss rates and environmental factors by category, applied to current loan totals. However, actual losses may be higher or lower than historical trends, which vary. Actual losses on specified problem loans, which also are provided for in the evaluation, may vary from those estimated loss percentages, which are established based upon a limited number of potential loss classifications.  Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance, which is based on the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, the volume and mix of the existing loan and lease portfolios, including the volume and severity of non-performing and adversely classified credits, an analysis of net charge-offs experienced on previously classified credits, the trend in loan and lease growth, including any rapid increase in loan and lease volume within a relatively short time period, general and local economic conditions affecting the collectability of the Company’s loans and leases, previous loan and lease experience by type, including net charge-offs, as a percentage of average loans and leases over the past several years and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.  The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans and leases that are classified as impaired. For such loans and leases, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Regardless of the measurement method, the Company measures impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when foreclosure is probable.  The allowance calculation methodology includes further segregation of loan classes into regulatory risk rating categories of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects. Loans classified substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans rated as special mention and substandard are reserved for based on the average charge-off history for loans and leases previously classified in those categories. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are included in the general component of the reserve calculation.  The general component covers pools of loans by loan type. These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these categories of loans, adjusted for relevant qualitative factors. Separate qualitative adjustments are made for higher-risk criticized loans that are not impaired. These qualitative risk factors include:  · Changes in lending policies or procedures; · Changes in economic conditions; · Portfolio growth; · Changes in the nature or volume of the portfolio; · Changes in management’s experience; · Past due volume; · Non-accrual volume; · Adversely classified loans; · Quality of the loan review system; · Changes in the value of underlying collateral; · Concentrations of credit; and · External factors. Applicable factors are considered based on management's best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. The smallest component of the allowance is an unallocated component, which results from uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the loan will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for all impaired loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A reserve allocation is established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of substantially all of the Company's impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan's collateral. For SBA commercial loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals or evaluations. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations including the age of the most recent appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised value, discounted by the estimated costs to sell the collateral, is considered to be the estimated fair value. For SBA commercial and industrial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values for impairment are determined based on the borrower's financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable agings or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. Amounts guaranteed by the U.S. government are not impaired. Loans originated from continuing operations and intended for sale in secondary markets are carried at estimated fair value and are excluded from the allowance valuation. Net unrealized gains or losses, if any, are recognized through marks to fair value through the income statement. The Company originates specific commercial mortgage loans for sale in secondary markets. These loans are accounted for under the fair value option and amounted to $503.3 million at December 31, 2017, and $663.1 million at December 31, 2016. These loans were classified as held for sale. Loans from discontinued operations intended for sale primarily to other financial institutions are carried at the lower of cost or market on the balance sheet, determined by loan type or, for larger loans, on an individual loan basis. See Note W to the financial statements. 5. Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the terms of the related leases. 6. Internal Use Software The Company capitalizes costs associated with internally developed and/or purchased software systems for new products and enhancements to existing products that have reached the application stage and meet recoverability tests. Capitalized costs include external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining internal use software, payroll and payroll related expenses for employees who are directly associated with, and devote time to, the internal use software project. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. The carrying value of the Company’s software is periodically reviewed and a loss is recognized if the value of the estimated undiscounted cash flow benefit related to the asset falls below the unamortized cost. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related software, which is generally seven years. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had net capitalized software costs of approximately $8.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively. Net capitalized software is presented as part of other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded amortization expense of approximately $2.6 million, $2.1 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 7. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between their carrying values on the consolidated balance sheet and their tax basis as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes the benefit of a tax position in the consolidated financial statements only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit by the tax authority. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. For these analyses, the Company may engage attorneys to provide opinions related to the positions. The Company applies this policy to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remain open, but this application does not materially impact the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statement of operations. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statement of operations. Deferred tax assets are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at their net realizable value. The Company performs an assessment each reporting period to evaluate the amount of the deferred tax asset it is more likely than not to realize. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the amount of taxable income expected in future periods, as tax benefits require taxable income to be realized. If a valuation allowance is required, the deferred tax asset on the consolidated balance sheet is reduced via a corresponding income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations. 8. Share-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Stock Based Compensation . The expense of the option is generally measured at fair value at the grant date with compensation expense recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. For grants subject to a service condition, the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes model takes into consideration the exercise price and expected life of the options, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock and the current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of a stock option is based on expectations derived from historical experience and may not necessarily equate to its market value when fully vested. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company estimates the number of options for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered. 9. Other Real Estate Owned Other real estate owned is recorded at estimated fair market value less cost of disposal; which establishes a new cost basis or carrying value. When property is acquired, the excess, if any, of the loan balance over fair market value is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Periodically thereafter, the asset is reviewed for subsequent declines in the estimated fair market value against the carrying value. Subsequent declines, if any, and holding costs, as well as gains and losses on subsequent sale, are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company had $450,000 and $104,000 in other real estate owned at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 10. Advertising Costs  The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $435,000 , $349,000 and $387,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Advertising expense is reflected under “other” in the non-interest expense section of the consolidated statement of operations. 11. Earnings Per Share The Company calculates earnings per share under ASC 260, Earnings Per Share . Basic earnings per share exclude dilution and are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share take into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. The following tables show the Company’s earnings per share for the periods presented:    Year ended December 31, 2017  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share from continuing operations  Net income available to common shareholders $ 17,338 55,686,507 $ 0.31  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 489,762 -  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 17,338 56,176,269 $ 0.31     Year ended December 31, 2017  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share from discontinued operations  Net income available to common shareholders $ 4,335 55,686,507 $ 0.08  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 489,762 -  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 4,335 56,176,269 $ 0.08    Year ended December 31, 2017  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 21,673 55,686,507 $ 0.39  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 489,762 -  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 21,673 56,176,269 $ 0.39  Stock options for 1,152,625 shares, exercisable at prices between $7.36 and $10.45 per share, were outstanding at December 31, 2017 but were not included in the dilutive earnings per share computation because the exercise price per share was greater than the average market price.

Other Comprehensive Income  Other comprehensive income consists of revenues, expenses, gains and losses that bypass the statement of operations and are reported directly in a separate component of equity.    For the year ended December 31,  2017 2016 2015  (in thousands)  Other comprehensive income (loss)  Change in net unrealized gains (losses) during the year $ 2,617 $ (953) $ (7,169)  Reclassification adjustments for gains included in income (2,231) (3,170) (14,436)  Reclassification adjustments for foreign currency translation losses (gains) 216 335 (551)  Amortization of losses previously held as available-for-sale 34 34 56  Net unrealized gains (losses) 636 (3,754) (22,100)   Deferred tax expense (benefit)  Available-for-sale securities:  Change in net unrealized gains (losses) during the period 1,046 (381) (2,544)  Reclassification adjustments for gains included in income (892) (1,268) (5,147)  Amortization of losses previously held as available-for-sale 14 14 20  Income tax expense (benefit) related to items of other comprehensive income (loss) 168 (1,635) (7,671)   Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax and reclassifications into net income $ 468 $ (2,119) $ (14,429)  13. Restrictions on Cash and Due from Banks The Bank is required to maintain reserves against customer demand deposits by keeping cash on hand or balances with the FRB. The amount of those required reserves at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $264.7 million and $283.1 million, respectively. 14. Other Identifiable Intangible Assets On November 29, 2012, the Company acquired certain software rights for approximately $1.8 million for use in managing prepaid cards in connection with an acquisition. The software is being amortized over eight years. Amortization expense is $217,000 per year and $539,000 over the remainder of the amortization period. The gross carrying value of the software is $1.8 million, and as of December 31, 2017, the accumulated amortization was $1.3 million. The Company accounts for its prepaid card customer list in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other . The acquisition of the Stored Value Solutions division of Marshall Bank First in 2007 resulted in a customer list intangible of $12.0 million which is being amortized over a 12 year period. Amortization expense is $1.0 million per year ( $2.0 million over the remainder of the amortization period). The gross carrying value of the software is $12.0 million, and as of December 31, 2017, the accumulated amortization was $10.0 million. In May 2016, the Company purchased approximately $60 million of lease receivables which resulted in a customer list intangible of $3.4 million which is being amortized over a 10 year period. Amortization expense is $340,000 per year ( $1.7 million over the next five years). The gross carrying value is $3.4 million and, as of December 31, 2017, the accumulated amortization was $573,000 . The purchase price allocation related to this intangible was finalized in 2017 and remained unchanged from the purchase price allocation recorded in 2016 when the purchase was made.  The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization related to the Company’s intangible items at December 31, 2017 and 2016 are presented below.     December 31,  2017 2016  Gross Gross  Carrying Accumulated Carrying Accumulated  Amount Amortization Amount Amortization  (in thousands)   Customer list intangibles $ 15,411 $ 10,573 $ 15,411 $ 9,232  Software intangible 1,817 1,278 1,817 1,090  Total $ 17,228 $ 11,851 $ 17,228 $ 10,322  The approximate future annual amortization of both the Company’s intangible items are as follows (in thousands):     Year ending December 31,  2018 $ 1,531  2019 1,531  2020 499  2021 340  2022 340  Thereafter 1,136  $ 5,377      15. Prepaid Card, Card Payment and Automated Clearing House (ACH) Processing Fees  The Company recognizes prepaid card fees and affinity fees in the periods in which they are earned by performance of the related services. The majority of fees the Company earns result from contractual transaction fees paid by third party sponsors to the Company and monthly service fees. Additionally, the Company earns interchange fees paid through settlement with associations such as Visa, which are also determined on a per transaction basis. The Company records this revenue net of costs such as association fees and interchange transaction charges. Fees earned by the Company from processing card payments for recipients of such payments, or from processing ACH payments for companies are also determined primarily on a per transaction basis.

At December 31, 2017, investment securities with a fair value of approximately $225.6 million were pledged to secure a line of credit with the FRB. There were no investment securities pledged to the FRB as of December 31, 2016. Gross gains on sales of securities were $2.7 million, $4.8 million and $15.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Gross losses on sales of securities were $429,000 , $1.6 million and $543,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Available-for-sale securities fair values are based on a fair market value supplied by a third-party market data provider. Held-to-maturity securities fair values are based on the present value of cash flows, which discounts expected cash flows from principal and interest using yield to maturity at the measurement date, when market information is not available. The Company periodically reviews its investment portfolio to determine whether unrealized losses are other than temporary, based on evaluations of the creditworthiness of the issuers/guarantors as well as the underlying collateral if applicable, in addition to the continuing performance of the securities.

The Company has evaluated the securities in the above tables as of December 31, 2017 and has concluded that none of these securities has impairment that is other-than-temporary. The Company evaluates whether an other than temporary impairment exists by considering primarily the following factors: (a) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security, (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer, (c) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (d) changes in the financial condition of the security’s underlying collateral and (e) the payment structure of the security. If other than temporary impairment is determined, the Company estimates expected future cash flows to determine the credit loss amount with a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the security. Based upon this evaluation, the Company concluded that most of the securities that are in an unrealized loss position are in a loss position because of changes in interest rates after the securities were purchased. The securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer include other securities whose market values are sensitive to interest rates. The Company’s unrealized loss for the debt securities, which includes two single issuer trust preferred securities, is primarily related to general market conditions and the resultant lack of liquidity in the market. The severity of the temporary impairments in relation to the carrying amounts of the individual investments is consistent with market developments. The Company’s analysis for each investment is performed at the security level. As a result of its review, the Company concluded that other-than-temporary impairment did not exist due to the Company’s ability and intention to hold these securities to recover their amortized cost basis.

Loans [Abstract]
Loans	 Note E — Loans  The Company originates loans for sale into securitizations for commercial mortgage backed securities or to other commercial loan purchasers and to secondary government guaranteed loan markets. The Company has elected the fair value option for the balance of these loans, classified as commercial loans held for sale, to better reflect the economics of the transactions. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the fair value of these loans was $ 503.3 million and $ 663.1 million, and the unpaid principal balance was $498.6 million and $660.3 million, respectively. Included in gain on sale of loans in the consolidated statement of operations were changes in fair value resulting in gains of $1.8 million in 2017 and losses of $3.1 million in 2016. There were no amounts of changes in fair value related to instrument-specific credit risk with the exception of the government guaranteed portion of non accrual SBA loans. The fair value of such loans is reduced to the amount of the government guarantee. Interest earned on loans held for sale during the period held are recorded in Interest Income – Loans, including fees in the consolidated statement of operations.  In the second quarter of 2016, the Company purchased approximately $60 million of fleet vehicle leases which resulted in a customer intangible of approximately $3.4 million. The balance of the $8.0 million purchase price was allocated to premium which is being amortized over the lives of the purchased leases.  The Company analyzes credit risk prior to making loans, on an individual loan basis. The Company considers relevant aspects of the borrowers’ financial position and cash flow, past borrower performance, management’s knowledge of market conditions, collateral and the ratio of the loan amount to estimated collateral value in making its credit determinations.  Major classifications of loans are as follows (in thousands):     December 31, December 31,  2017 2016   SBA non-real estate $ 71,263 $ 74,644  SBA commercial mortgage 142,086 126,159  SBA construction 16,740 8,826  SBA loans * 230,089 209,629  Direct lease financing 378,029 346,645  SBLOC 730,462 630,400  Other specialty lending 30,720 11,073  Other consumer loans 14,133 17,374  1,383,433 1,215,121  Unamortized loan fees and costs 8,795 7,790  Total loans, net of deferred loan fees and costs $ 1,392,228 $ 1,222,911   Included in the table above are demand deposit overdrafts reclassified as loan balances totaling $2.3 million and $2.4 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Variable Interest Entity (VIE) [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entity (VIE)	Note H—Variable Interest Entity (VIE)  VIEs are entities that, by design, either (1) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) have equity investors that do not have the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses, or do not have the right to receive the residual returns of the entity.  The most common type of VIE is a special purpose entity (SPE). SPEs are commonly used in securitization transactions in order to isolate certain assets and distribute the cash flows from those assets to investors. The basic SPE structure involves a company selling assets to the SPE with the SPE funding the purchase of those assets by issuing securities to investors. The agreements that govern the transaction specify how the cash earned on the assets must be allocated to the SPE’s investors and other parties that have rights to those cash flows. SPEs are generally structured to insulate investors from claims on the SPE’s assets by creditors of other entities, including the creditors of the seller of the assets. The primary beneficiary of a VIE (i.e., the party that has a controlling financial interest) is required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (2) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  The Company holds variable interests in Walnut Street 2014-1 LLC (WS 2014), accounted for as a debt instrument for which the Company elected the fair value option. The debt acquired was a 49% equity interest in WS 2014 as well as 100% of the A-Notes and 49% of the B-Notes that WS 2014 issued in a securitization transaction. The variable interests relate to the economic interests held by the Company in WS 2014 and the asset management contract between the Company and WS 2014. The Company is not the primary beneficiary, as it does not have the controlling financial interest in WS 2014, and therefore does not consolidate WS 2014. At December 31, 2017, the Company’s investment in the WS 2014 was $74.5 million and was classified as an investment in unconsolidated entity in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s remaining exposure to loss is equal to the balance of the Company’s interest, or $74.5 million.  The following table presents the total unpaid principal amount of assets held in WS 2014, shown as commercial and other, at December 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands). Continuing involvement includes servicing the loans and holding senior interests or subordinated interests.

Specifically, the Company had an option to repurchase underlying loans in the future which it could unilaterally renounce. Upon the delivery of its unilateral renunciation to all other applicable parties to the transaction, the transaction qualified as a sale.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note L—Income Taxes  The Company operates predominantly in the United States and is subject to corporate net income taxes for federal and state purposes. The Company sold its minimal operations in Europe in April 2017. These taxes were not considered material to the overall financial statements. Tax expense (benefit) is computed in total on combined continuing and discontinued operations, then separately for continuing operations which is subtracted from that total. The remainder is shown as tax expense for discontinued operations. The components of income tax expense (benefit) included in the statements of continuing operations are as follows:     For the years ended  December 31,  2017 2016 2015  (in thousands)  Current tax provision (benefit)  Federal $ 1,044 $ 702 $ 286  Foreign - 329 353  State 1,213 686 727  2,257 1,717 1,366  Deferred tax provision (benefit)  Federal 22,599 (13,406) 132  State (1,800) (975) (48)  20,799 (14,381) 84  $ 23,056 $ (12,664) $ 1,450  The differences between applicable income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations and the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, are as follows:     For the years ended  December 31,  2017 2016 2015  (in thousands)   Computed tax expense at statutory rate $ 13,734 $ (23,509) $ 2,713  Tax effect of federal rate change 17,293 0 0  State taxes 1,199 (191) 448  Tax-exempt interest income (1,600) (1,771) (4,165)  Foreign income tax rate difference - (147) (163)  Meals and entertainment 63 128 196  Other nondeductible items 2,421 - 1,020  Foreign dividend income - 719 -  Valuation allowance - domestic (9,813) 8,780 884  Valuation allowance - foreign - 3,327 395  Other (241) 0 122  $ 23,056 $ (12,664) $ 1,450  Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary difference between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Cumulative temporary differences recognized in the financial statement of position are as follows:     For the years ended  December 31,  2017 2016  (in thousands)  Deferred tax assets:  Allowance for loan and lease losses $ 1,490 $ 2,153  Non-accrual interest 1,496 2,656  Deferred compensation 750 1,250  State taxes 3,456 1,638  Nonqualified stock options 1,330 3,446  Capital loss limitations 1,343 -  Tax deductible goodwill 3,895 7,071  Partnership interest, Walnut St basis difference 8,774 1,654  Fair value adjustment to investments 621 13,447  Loan charges 11,789 17,297  Unrealized loss on AFS securities 1,686 2,665  AMT tax credit 2,951 2,183  Federal net operating loss 4,776 28,525  Foreign net operating loss - 891  Other 1,533 1,914  Total gross deferred tax assets 45,890 86,790  Federal and state valuation allowance (9,995) (24,990)  Foreign valuation allowance - (891)   Deferred tax liabilities:  Foreign tax liabilities - 3,327  Discount on Class A notes 92 1,479  Depreciation 1,001 437  Total deferred tax liabilities 1,093 5,243  Net deferred tax asset $ 34,802 $ 55,666  The Company has a federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $21.1 million that will begin to expire in 203 5. The Company has approximately $54.6 million of state net operating losses from several states that will expire at varying times over the next 20 years. Additionally, the Company has alternative minimum tax credits of $3.0 million to offset taxable income in the future. The corporate alternative tax was repealed effective for tax years beginning after 2017 and any unused AMT credits will be recovered as a refundable credit in tax years 2018 through 2021. The refundable credit amount is equal to 50 percent of the excess of the minimum tax credits available for the tax year over the computed regular tax liability for the years 2018 through 2020. In 2021 the remainder of any tax credits will be refunded. Therefore, the full amount of the available AMT credits at December 31, 2017 will be recovered not later than 2021.  Management assesses all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to recognize the existing deferred tax assets. The majority of valuation allowances reversed in 2017 with the remaining valuation allowance reflecting capital losses in Walnut Street. The remaining valuation allowance will likely reverse only to the extent that recoveries exceed any potential future losses in Walnut Street. The federal and state valuation allowance at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, was $10.0 million and $25.0 million.  A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:    For the years ended  December 31,  2017 2016 2015  (in thousands)  Beginning balance at January 1 $ 339 $ 340 $ 313  Increases (decreases) in tax provisions for prior years (1) (1) 27  Gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31 $ 338 $ 339 $ 340  Management does not believe these amounts will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of December 31, 2017. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, will impact the effective tax rate. The Company files federal and state returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. An examination of the 2011-2014 Company’s federal tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service is currently in process. Tax years after 2015 remain subject to examination by the federal authorities and 2013 and after remain subject to examination by most of the state tax authorities. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense for all periods presented. To date, no amounts of interest or penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits have been recorded.  The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017 and introduces significant changes to U.S. income tax law. Effective in 2018, the Tax Act reduces the U.S. statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% . Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the Tax Act, we have made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional amounts in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. As we collect and prepare necessary data, and interpret any additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the IRS or other standard-setting bodies, we may make adjustments to the provisional amounts. Those adjustments may materially impact the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rate in the period in which the adjustments are made. The accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the Tax Act will be completed in 2018.

The total intrinsic value of the options exercised and stock units vested in 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $3.0 million, $415,000 and $455,000 , respectively. The total issuance date fair value of options that were exercised and restricted units which vested during the year ended December 31, 2017 was $3.2 million.

For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company estimated the fair value of each grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:     December 31,  2017 2016 2015  Risk-free interest rate - 1.85% -  Expected dividend yield - - -  Expected volatility - 44.54% -  Expected lives (years) - 1.0 -5.5 -  Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock and peer group comparisons over the expected life of the grant. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury strip rate in effect at the time of the grant. The life of the option is based on historical factors which include the contractual term, vesting period, exercise behavior and employee terminations. In accordance with the ASC 718, Stock Based Compensation , stock based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The Company estimates forfeitures using historical data based upon the groups identified by management.

Legal Proceedings  The Company received a subpoena from the SEC, dated March 22, 2016, relating to an investigation by the SEC of the Company's restatement of its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2013 and the interim periods ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, which restatement was filed with the SEC on September 28, 2015, and the facts and circumstances underlying the restatement. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC's investigation. The costs to respond to the subpoena and cooperate with the SEC's investigation have been material and we expect such costs to continue to be material at least through the completion of the SEC’s investigation.  On June 30, 2016, the Company received written notice from the Internal Revenue Service that it will be conducting an audit of the Company's tax returns for the tax years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. The audit is in process.  The Company received a letter dated August 1, 2016, demanding inspection of its books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DCGL, from legal counsel representing a shareholder (the "Demand Letter"). The Company, through outside legal counsel, responded to the Demand Letter by permitting the shareholder to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records and by objecting to other requests. On January 30, 2017, the shareholder filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware seeking an order from the court, pursuant to Section 220 of the DGCL, compelling the Company to permit the shareholder to inspect additional books and records of the Company. The Company believes that its original response to the Demand Letter was appropriate in all respects and continues to defend against the complaint. On July 27, 2017, the Court of Chancery ruled in favor of the Company and granted an Order of Final Judgment Denying Plaintiff’s Demand To Inspect The Books And Records of Defendant. The court’s Order was subject to an appeal right which has now expired; no appeal was filed. Both the Demand Letter and the complaint threaten the commencement of a shareholder’s derivative suit against certain officers and directors of the Company seeking damages and other remedies on behalf of the Company. We have been advised by our counsel in the matter that reasonably possible losses cannot be estimated, but we and our counsel continue to believe the claim is without merit.  In addition, the Company is a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operations .

Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk And Concentrations Of Credit Risk [Abstract]
Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk And Concentrations Of Credit Risk	Note P—Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk  The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they become payable. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual, or notional, amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.  The approximate contract amounts and maturity term of the Company’s credit commitments are as follows:      December 31,  2017 2016  (in thousands)  Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk  Commitments to extend credit $ 1,445,425 $ 1,086,304  Standby letters of credit 2,279 3,936  $ 1,447,704 $ 1,090,240 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds residential or commercial real estate, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. Based upon periodic analysis of the Company’s standby letters of credit, management has determined that a reserve is not necessary at December 31, 2017. The Company reduces any potential liability on its standby letters of credit based upon its estimate of the proceeds obtainable upon the liquidation of the collateral held. Fair values of unrecognized financial instruments, including commitments to extend credit and the fair value of letters of credit, are considered immaterial. The $2.3 million of standby letters of credit expire in 2018. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments [Abstract]
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments	Note Q—Fair Value of Financial Instruments ASC 825, Financial Instruments , requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity’s assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For the Company, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered to be financial instruments. However, many of such instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Also, it is the Company’s general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity whether or not categorized as “available-for-sale” and not to engage in trading or sales activities, except for certain loans. For fair value disclosure purposes, the Company utilized the fair value measurement criteria of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to assets and liabilities. It clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures concerning fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Level 1 valuation is based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities to which the Company has access at the measurement date. Level 2 valuation is based on other observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This includes quoted prices for similar assets in active or inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, default rates, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated through, observable market data by market-corroborated reports. Level 3 valuation is based on “unobservable inputs” that are the best information available in the circumstances. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In 2016, certain securities were reclassified to level 2 from level 1 based upon an assessment of current market information. In 2015, certain securities were reclassified to level 2 from level 3 based upon current market information. Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best available data and an estimation methodology it believes to be suitable for each category of financial instruments. Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.  Cash and cash equivalents, which are comprised of cash and due from banks, the Company’s balance at the FRB and securities purchased under agreements to resell, had recorded values of $908.9 million and $999.1 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which approximated fair values.  Investment securities have estimated fair values based on quoted market prices, if available, or by an estimation methodology based on management’s inputs. The fair values of the Company’s investment securities held-to-maturity are based on using “unobservable inputs,” that are the best information available in the circumstances when market information is not available. Level 3 investment securities fair values are based on the present value of cash flows, which discounts expected cash flows from principal and interest using yield to maturity at the measurement date.  Commercial loans held for sale have estimated fair values based upon market indications of the sales price of such loans from recent sales transactions.  Loans, net of deferred loan fees and costs, have an estimated fair value using the present value of discounted cash flow where market prices were not available. The discount rate used in these calculations is the estimated current market rate adjusted for credit risk. The carrying value of accrued interest approximates fair value.  FHLB and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank stock are held as required by those respective institutions and are carried at cost. Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB to hold stock according to predetermined formulas. Atlantic Central Bankers Bank requires its correspondent banking institutions to hold stock as a condition of membership.  Investment in unconsolidated entity - On December 30, 2014, the Bank entered into an agreement for, and closed on, the sale of a portion of its discontinued commercial loan portfolio. The purchaser of the loan portfolio was a newly formed entity, WS 2014. For information regarding this transaction see Note H. The fair value of the notes issued to the Bank by WS 2014 was established by the sales price and subsequently subjected to cash flow analysis. At December 31, 2017, the cash flows were modeled using discount rates of 4.75% on the senior note and 11% on the subordinate note, based on market indications. A constant default rate on cash flowing loans of 1% , which was net of recoveries, was utilized. The change in value of investment in unconsolidated entity in the income statement includes interest paid and changes in estimated fair value. Assets held for sale as of December 31, 2017 are held at the lower of cost basis or market value. For loans, market value was determined using the income approach which converts expected cash flows from the loan portfolio by unit of measurement to a present value estimate. Unit of measurement was determined by loan type and for significant loans on an individual loan basis. The fair values of the Company’s loans classified as assets held for sale are based on “unobservable inputs” that are the best information available in the circumstances. For commercial loans, a market adjusted rate to discount expected cash flows from outstanding principal and interest to expected maturity at the measurement date, was utilized. For other real estate owned, market value was based upon appraisals of the underlying collateral by third party appraisers, reduced by 7-10% for estimated selling costs.  Demand deposits (comprising interest and non-interest bearing checking accounts, savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (generally, their carrying amounts). The fair values of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short term borrowings are equal to their carrying amounts as they are overnight borrowings.  Time deposits and subordinated debentures have a fair value estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to discount expected cash flows. There were no time deposits outstanding at December 31, 2017 or 2016.  Interest rate swaps have a fair value which is estimated using models that use readily observable market inputs and a market standard methodology applied to the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate indices. The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated based on the amount of unamortized deferred loan commitment fees. The fair value of letters of credit is based on the amount of unearned fees plus the estimated cost to terminate the letters of credit. Fair values of unrecognized financial instruments, including commitments to extend credit, and the fair value of letters of credit are considered immaterial.

Intangible assets are valued based upon internal analyses. At December 31, 2017, principal on i mpaired loans and troubled debt restructurings that is accounted for on the basis of the value of underlying collateral, is shown in the above table at estimated fair value of $3.6 million. To arrive at that fair value, related loan principal of $5.5 million was reduced by specific reserves of $1.9 million within the allowance for loan losses, as of that date, representing the deficiency between principal and estimated collateral values, which were reduced by estimated costs to sell. Included in the impaired balance at December 31, 2017, were troubled debt restructured loans with a balance of $1.8 million which had specific reserves of $501,000 . Valuation techniques consistent with the market and/or cost approach were used to measure fair value and primarily included observable inputs for the individual impaired loans being evaluated such as recent sales of similar assets or observable market data for operational or carrying costs. In cases where such inputs were unobservable, the loan balance is reflected within the Level 3 hierarchy. The fair value of other real estate owned is based on an appraisal of the property using the market approach for valuation.

Derivatives [Abstract]
Derivatives	Note R –Derivatives  The Company utilizes derivative instruments to assist in the management of interest rate sensitivity by modifying the repricing, maturity and option characteristics on commercial real estate loans held for sale. These instruments are not accounted for as hedges. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had entered into eleven interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $59.7 million. Under these swap agreements the Company receives an adjustable rate of interest based upon LIBOR. The Company recorded income of $2.0 million, $3.2 million and $984,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to recognize the fair value of derivative instruments. At December 31, 2017, the amount receivable by the Company under these swap agreements was $1.2 million. At December 31, 2016, the amount receivable by the Company under these swap agreements was $3.0 million. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and had posted cash collateral of $757,000 and $2,000 , respectively.

Regulatory Matters [Abstract]
Regulatory Matters	Note S—Regulatory Matters It is the policy of the Federal Reserve that financial holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only from income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future needs and financial condition. The policy provides that financial holding companies should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the financial holding company’s ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries. Various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay to their holding companies without regulatory approval. Under Delaware banking law, the Bank’s directors may declare dividends on common or preferred stock of so much of its net profits as they judge expedient, but the Bank must, before the declaration of a dividend on common stock from net profits, carry 50% of its net profits from the preceding period for which the dividend is paid to its surplus fund until its surplus fund amounts to 50% of its capital stock and thereafter must carry 25% of its net profits for the preceding period for which the dividend is paid to its surplus fund until its surplus fund amounts to 100% of its capital stock. In addition to these explicit limitations, federal and state regulatory agencies are authorized to prohibit a banking subsidiary or financial holding company from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice. Depending upon the circumstances, the agencies could take the position that paying a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The Bank has entered into consent orders with the FDIC which prohibits the Bank from paying dividends without prior FDIC approval. In addition, the Company received a Supervisory Letter from the Federal Reserve pursuant to which the Company may not pay dividends without prior Federal Reserve approval. The Federal Reserve approved the payment of the distributions on the Company’s trust preferred securities due December 15, 2017. Future payments are subject to future approval by the Federal Reserve. (See Note I) The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification of the Company and the Bank are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Moreover, capital requirements may be modified based upon regulatory rules or by regulatory discretion at any time reflecting a variety of factors including deterioration in asset quality.

Effective January 1, 2015, capital rules were modified as part of a multi-year phase in period. The new rules emphasize common equity capital of which the vast majority of the Company and the Bank’s capital is comprised.  In 2017, the FDIC informed the Bank that it would pursue a civil money penalty for which the Bank accrued of $2.3 million of expense in that year. The FDIC’s action principally emanates from one of the Bank’s third party payment processors suffering an internal system programming glitch. This inadvertently resulted in consumers that engaged in signature-based point of sale transactions during the period from December 2010 to November 2014 being charged a greater fee than that disclosed by the Bank. Impacted consumers are being reimbursed by the third party processor at its own expense.  The Bank has entered into several consent orders with the FDIC relating to several aspects of its operations. The consent orders required the Bank to pay a $3.0 million civil money penalty in 2015, and to substantially revise and enhance its compliance programs with respect to the Bank Secrecy Act, or BSA, Anti-Money Laundering Act, or AML, and other areas. As a result of these orders, the Bank incurred significant remediation expenses for third party consultants in 2016 and 2015. The vast majority of the expense was to perform a “lookback” to analyze historical transactions which was concluded in the third quarter of 2016. Additional permanent expenses have and will result due to a significant increase in the number of employees performing BSA/AML related functions. T he consent orders restrict the Bank from signing and boarding new independent sales organizations, establishing new non-benefit reloadable prepaid card programs and originating ACH transactions for new merchant-related payments. The removal of these limitations depends upon the Bank’s issuance of a BSA report to the FDIC summarizing the completion of certain corrective action and the FDIC’s approval thereof.  On March 7, 2018, the Bank entered into a Stipulation and Consent to Order for Restitution and Order To Pay Civil Money Penalty with the FDIC, which we refer to as the 2018 Restitution Order and 2018 CMP Order, respectively. The Bank took this action without admitting or denying any alleged violations of law or regulation. The FDIC’s action principally emanates from one of the Bank’s third-party payment processors (“Third Party Processor”) that suffered an internal system programming glitch. This inadvertently resulted in consumers that engaged in signature-based point of sale transactions during the period from December 2010 to November 2014 being charged a greater fee than what was disclosed by the Bank. The FDIC alleged the Bank’s incorrect fee imposition due to the Third Party Processor error was an unfair or deceptive act or practice and violated Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. The 2018 Restitution Order requires the Bank to develop a written Restitution Plan, subject to independent audit and FDIC non-objection, to ensure impacted consumers are compensated for any incorrectly charged fees. The 2018 Restitution Order requires the Bank to make such reimbursements if not otherwise made by the Third Party Processor and the Bank is indemnified by the Third Party Processor for such reimbursements. Impacted consumers have been reimbursed by the Third Party Processor at its own expense. The Bank is in the process of complying with the written documentation and audit requirements of the Restitution Order. The 2018 CMP Order imposed a $2 million civil money penalty on the Bank which the Bank has paid, and was recognized as expense on September 30, 2017. The civil money penalty is not subject to any indemnification or recovery from any third party.

Segment Financials [Abstract]
Segment Financials	Note V—Segment Financials  The Company performed a strategic evaluation of its businesses in the third quarter of 2014. As a result of the evaluation, the Company decided to discontinue its commercial lending operations, as described in Note W- Discontinued Operations. The shift from a traditional bank balance sheet led the Company to evaluate its remaining business structure. Based on the continuing operations of the Company, it was determined that there would be four segments of the business: specialty finance, payments, corporate and discontinued operations. The chief decision maker for these segments is the Chief Executive Officer. Specialty finance includes commercial mortgage loan sales, SBA loans, leasing and security backed lines of credit and any deposits generated by those business lines. Payments include prepaid cards, card payments, ACH processing and healthcare accounts. Corporate includes the Company’s investment portfolio, corporate overhead and non-allocated expenses. Investment income is reallocated to the payments segment. These operating segments reflect the way the Company views its current operations.

Discontinued Operations [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	Note W—Discontinued Operations  The Company performed a strategic evaluation of its businesses in the third quarter of 2014 and decided to discontinue its commercial lending operations and focus on its specialty finance lending. The loans which constitute the commercial loan portfolio are in the process of disposition including sales to independent purchasers. As such, financial results of the commercial lending operations are presented as separate from continuing operations on the consolidated statements of operations, and the assets of the commercial lending operations to be disposed are presented as assets held for sale from discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets.  The following table presents financial results of the commercial lending business included in net income (loss) from discontinued operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.     For the year ended December 31,  2017 2016 2015  (in thousands)  Interest income $ 12,655 $ 18,275 $ 28,925  Interest expense - - -  Provision for loan and lease losses - - -  Net interest income after provision 12,655 18,275 28,925   Non-interest income 1,095 749 2,513  Non-interest expense 9,691 62,141 18,645   Income (loss) before taxes 4,059 (43,117) 12,793  Income tax (benefit) provision (276) (3,442) 4,721  Net income (loss) $ 4,335 $ (39,675) $ 8,072      December 31, December 31,  2017 2016  (in thousands)  Loans, net $ 270,050 $ 340,396  Other assets 34,262 20,315  Total assets $ 304,313 $ 360,711   Based upon an independent third party review performed as of September 30, 2014, the first reporting date after discontinuance of commercial loan operations, the Company marked the $1.20 billion commercial lending portfolio balance as of that date to lower of cost or market. An independent third party financial advisory firm assisted in the lower of cost or market valuation, using the income approach in a discounted cash flow model. Large balance commercial loans were modeled on a loan level basis. Small balance commercial loans were modeled on a pool basis where loans are grouped by common characteristics including loan type, loan collateral, amortization type and coupon. The expected cash flows for the loans or pools were derived from the contractual loan terms, adjusted for prepayments and credit considerations as applicable. An independent third party also assisted in the valuation by reviewing the majority of the credit portfolio for credit inputs into the model. Subsequently, credit reviews were performed internally. Based on that review, weighted average fair values were applied to the loans not specifically reviewed. Discount rates used in the model were derived from observable market interest rates or credit spreads for comparable loans including national and regional commercial loan pricing surveys, dealer market research and market pricing quotations for new issuance. Market quoted interest rates were adjusted for the subject loan or pool to account for differences in loan characteristics including loan term, loan size, loan vintage and loan credit quality. These analyses are performed at each quarterly and annual reporting period based on available internal and external inputs including loan workout and loan review department inputs.  Various elements of the lower of cost or market valuation are as follows:     Measured on a recurring basis Valuation techniques Significant unobservable inputs Range   Large balance commercial loans Discounted cash flows Discount rate 3.89% -9.59%   Small balance commercial loans Discounted cash flows Discount rate 4.39% -7.52%  The Company has securitized or sold loans with a book value of approximately $406.8 million, of the approximately $1.1 billion in book value of loans in that portfolio as of the September 30, 2014 date of discontinuance of operations. The $406.8 million of loans sold had a face value of approximately $481.7 million. Loans with an approximate face and book value of $267.6 million and $192.7 million, respectively, were securitized in the fourth quarter of 2014 to WS 2014 . The securitization is managed by an independent investor, which contributed $16 million of equity to that entity. The balance of the securitization was financed by the Bank and is reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as investment in unconsolidated entity. After $74.9 million of loan charges reflected in the difference between the face value and book value of the loans securitized, the Company recognized a gain on sale of $17.0 million. In the second quarter of 2015, an additional $149.6 million of loans were sold at a gain of approximately $2.2 million. In the third quarter of 2016, $64.6 million of loans were sold at minimal gain. The Company continues to pursue additional loan dispositions. At December 31, 2017, the balance of WS 2014 was $74.5 million.

Summary of Significant Accoun31

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2017
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) and predominant practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances have been eliminated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The principal estimates that are particularly susceptible to a significant change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan and lease losses, investment in unconsolidated entity and assets held for sale from discontinued operations measured at fair value, investment other than temporary impairment (OTTI), investments measured at fair value and deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at their net realizable value. The Company performs an assessment each reporting period to evaluate the amount of the deferred tax asset it is more likely than not to realize. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the amount of taxable income expected in future periods, as tax benefits require taxable income to be realized. If a valuation allowance is required, the deferred tax asset on the consolidated balance sheet is reduced via a corresponding income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
Cash And Cash Equivalents	2. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and amounts due from banks with an original maturity from date of purchase of three months or less and federal funds sold. The Company at times maintains balances in excess of insured limits at various financial institutions including the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other private institutions. The Company does not believe these instruments carry a significant risk of loss, but cannot provide assurances that no losses could occur if these institutions were to become insolvent.
Investment Securities	3. Investment Securities Investments in debt securities which the Company has both the ability and intent to hold to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts computed by the effective interest method. Investments in debt and equity securities which management believes may be sold prior to maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, liquidity requirements, or other factors, are classified as available-for-sale. Net unrealized gains for such securities, net of tax effect, are reported as other comprehensive income, through equity and are excluded from the determination of net income. The unrealized losses for both the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities are evaluated to determine first if the impairment is other than temporary then to determine the amount of other-than-temporary impairment that is attributable to credit loss versus non-credit loss. If a credit loss is determined, an OTTI charge is recorded within the consolidated statement of operations. If management believes market value losses are temporary and it believes the Company has the ability and intention to hold those securities to maturity, for available for sale securities the reduction in value is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company does not engage in securities trading. Gains or losses on disposition of investment securities are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold using the specific identification method. The Company evaluates whether OTTI exists by considering primarily the following factors: (a) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security, (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer, (c) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (d) changes in the financial condition of the security’s underlying collateral and (e) the payment structure of the security. The Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows used to determine the amount of OTTI attributable to credit loss is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources and internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the security. The Company’s best estimate of future cash flows involves assumptions including, but not limited to, various performance indicators, such as historical and projected default and recovery rates, credit ratings, current delinquency rates, loan-to-value ratios and the possibility of obligor refinancing. These assumptions require the use of significant management judgment and include the probability of issuer default and estimates regarding timing and amount of expected recoveries which may include estimating the underlying collateral value. In addition, projections of expected future cash flows from a debt security may change based upon new information regarding the performance of the issuer and/or underlying collateral such as changes in the projections of the underlying property value estimates. The Company did no t recognize any OTTI charges in 2017, 2016 and 2015.
Loans And Allowance For Loan And Lease Losses	4. Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal and are net of unearned discounts, unearned loan fees and an allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for loan and lease losses charged to expense. Loan principal considered to be uncollectible by management is charged against the allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The evaluation takes into consideration historical losses by loan category and factors such as changes in the nature and size of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, specific problem loans and current economic conditions which may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. The resulting loss factors are applied to current total loan amounts to compute the historical loss component of the allowance. The historical loss component is added to allowance allocations for specific loans and an unallocated component and the allowance is adjusted to the total of those three components through the provision. Interest income is accrued as earned on a simple interest basis. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all accumulated accrued interest receivable applicable to periods prior to the current year is charged off to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Interest that had accrued in the current year is reversed from current period income. Loans reported as having missed four or more consecutive monthly payments and still accruing interest must have both principal and accruing interest adequately secured and must be in the process of collection. Such loans are reported as 90 days delinquent and still accruing. For all loan types, the Company uses the method of reporting delinquencies which considers a loan past due or delinquent if a monthly payment has not been received by the close of business on the loan’s next due date. In the Company’s reporting, two missed payments are reflected as 30 to 59 day delinquencies and three missed payments are reflected as 60 to 89 day delinquencies.  The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans and leases. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable are charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. Because all identified losses are immediately charged off, no portion of the allowance for loan losses is restricted to any individual loan or groups of loans, and the entire allowance is available to absorb any and all loan losses.  The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses includes, among other factors, an analysis of historical loss rates and environmental factors by category, applied to current loan totals. However, actual losses may be higher or lower than historical trends, which vary. Actual losses on specified problem loans, which also are provided for in the evaluation, may vary from those estimated loss percentages, which are established based upon a limited number of potential loss classifications.  Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance, which is based on the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, the volume and mix of the existing loan and lease portfolios, including the volume and severity of non-performing and adversely classified credits, an analysis of net charge-offs experienced on previously classified credits, the trend in loan and lease growth, including any rapid increase in loan and lease volume within a relatively short time period, general and local economic conditions affecting the collectability of the Company’s loans and leases, previous loan and lease experience by type, including net charge-offs, as a percentage of average loans and leases over the past several years and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.  The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans and leases that are classified as impaired. For such loans and leases, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Regardless of the measurement method, the Company measures impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when foreclosure is probable.  The allowance calculation methodology includes further segregation of loan classes into regulatory risk rating categories of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects. Loans classified substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans rated as special mention and substandard are reserved for based on the average charge-off history for loans and leases previously classified in those categories. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are included in the general component of the reserve calculation.  The general component covers pools of loans by loan type. These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these categories of loans, adjusted for relevant qualitative factors. Separate qualitative adjustments are made for higher-risk criticized loans that are not impaired. These qualitative risk factors include:  · Changes in lending policies or procedures; · Changes in economic conditions; · Portfolio growth; · Changes in the nature or volume of the portfolio; · Changes in management’s experience; · Past due volume; · Non-accrual volume; · Adversely classified loans; · Quality of the loan review system; · Changes in the value of underlying collateral; · Concentrations of credit; and · External factors. Applicable factors are considered based on management's best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. The smallest component of the allowance is an unallocated component, which results from uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the loan will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for all impaired loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A reserve allocation is established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of substantially all of the Company's impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan's collateral. For SBA commercial loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals or evaluations. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations including the age of the most recent appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised value, discounted by the estimated costs to sell the collateral, is considered to be the estimated fair value. For SBA commercial and industrial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values for impairment are determined based on the borrower's financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable agings or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. Amounts guaranteed by the U.S. government are not impaired. Loans originated from continuing operations and intended for sale in secondary markets are carried at estimated fair value and are excluded from the allowance valuation. Net unrealized gains or losses, if any, are recognized through marks to fair value through the income statement. The Company originates specific commercial mortgage loans for sale in secondary markets. These loans are accounted for under the fair value option and amounted to $503.3 million at December 31, 2017, and $663.1 million at December 31, 2016. These loans were classified as held for sale. Loans from discontinued operations intended for sale primarily to other financial institutions are carried at the lower of cost or market on the balance sheet, determined by loan type or, for larger loans, on an individual loan basis. See Note W to the financial statements.
Premises And Equipment	5. Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the terms of the related leases.
Internal Use Software	6. Internal Use Software The Company capitalizes costs associated with internally developed and/or purchased software systems for new products and enhancements to existing products that have reached the application stage and meet recoverability tests. Capitalized costs include external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining internal use software, payroll and payroll related expenses for employees who are directly associated with, and devote time to, the internal use software project. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. The carrying value of the Company’s software is periodically reviewed and a loss is recognized if the value of the estimated undiscounted cash flow benefit related to the asset falls below the unamortized cost. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related software, which is generally seven years. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had net capitalized software costs of approximately $8.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively. Net capitalized software is presented as part of other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded amortization expense of approximately $2.6 million, $2.1 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Income Taxes	7. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between their carrying values on the consolidated balance sheet and their tax basis as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense (benefit) is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company recognizes the benefit of a tax position in the consolidated financial statements only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit by the tax authority. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. For these analyses, the Company may engage attorneys to provide opinions related to the positions. The Company applies this policy to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remain open, but this application does not materially impact the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statement of operations. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statement of operations. Deferred tax assets are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at their net realizable value. The Company performs an assessment each reporting period to evaluate the amount of the deferred tax asset it is more likely than not to realize. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the amount of taxable income expected in future periods, as tax benefits require taxable income to be realized. If a valuation allowance is required, the deferred tax asset on the consolidated balance sheet is reduced via a corresponding income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
Share-Based Compensation	8. Share-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Stock Based Compensation . The expense of the option is generally measured at fair value at the grant date with compensation expense recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. For grants subject to a service condition, the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes model takes into consideration the exercise price and expected life of the options, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock and the current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option. The Company’s estimate of the fair value of a stock option is based on expectations derived from historical experience and may not necessarily equate to its market value when fully vested. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company estimates the number of options for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered.
Other Real Estate Owned	9. Other Real Estate Owned Other real estate owned is recorded at estimated fair market value less cost of disposal; which establishes a new cost basis or carrying value. When property is acquired, the excess, if any, of the loan balance over fair market value is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Periodically thereafter, the asset is reviewed for subsequent declines in the estimated fair market value against the carrying value. Subsequent declines, if any, and holding costs, as well as gains and losses on subsequent sale, are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company had $450,000 and $104,000 in other real estate owned at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Advertising Costs	10. Advertising Costs  The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $435,000 , $349,000 and $387,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Advertising expense is reflected under “other” in the non-interest expense section of the consolidated statement of operations.
Earnings Per Share	11. Earnings Per Share The Company calculates earnings per share under ASC 260, Earnings Per Share . Basic earnings per share exclude dilution and are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share take into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. The following tables show the Company’s earnings per share for the periods presented:    Year ended December 31, 2017  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share from continuing operations  Net income available to common shareholders $ 17,338 55,686,507 $ 0.31  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 489,762 -  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 17,338 56,176,269 $ 0.31     Year ended December 31, 2017  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share from discontinued operations  Net income available to common shareholders $ 4,335 55,686,507 $ 0.08  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 489,762 -  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 4,335 56,176,269 $ 0.08    Year ended December 31, 2017  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 21,673 55,686,507 $ 0.39  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 489,762 -  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 21,673 56,176,269 $ 0.39  Stock options for 1,152,625 shares, exercisable at prices between $7.36 and $10.45 per share, were outstanding at December 31, 2017 but were not included in the dilutive earnings per share computation because the exercise price per share was greater than the average market price.     Year ended December 31, 2016  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic loss per share from continuing operations  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (56,817) 44,567,357 $ (1.28)  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - - -  Diluted loss per share  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (56,817) 44,567,357 $ (1.28)     Year ended December 31, 2016  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic loss per share from discontinued operations  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (39,675) 44,567,357 $ (0.89)  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - - -  Diluted loss per share  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (39,675) 44,567,357 $ (0.89)     Year ended December 31, 2016  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic loss per share  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (96,492) $ 44,567,357 $ (2.17)  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - - -  Diluted loss per share  Net loss available to common shareholders $ (96,492) 44,567,357 $ (2.17)  Stock options for 2,021,625 shares, exercisable at prices between $6.75 and $25.43 per share were outstanding at December 31, 2016, but were not included in the dilutive shares because the Company had a net loss available to common shareholders.     Year ended December 31, 2015  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share from continuing operations  Net income available to common shareholders $ 5,360 37,755,588 $ 0.14  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 318,630 -  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 5,360 38,074,218 $ 0.14     Year ended December 31, 2015  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share from discontinued operations  Net income available to common shareholders $ 8,072 37,755,588 $ 0.21  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 318,630 -  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 8,072 38,074,218 $ 0.21     Year ended December 31, 2015  Income Shares Per share  (numerator) (denominator) amount  (dollars in thousands except per share data)  Basic earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 13,432 $ 37,755,588 $ 0.35  Effect of dilutive securities  Common stock options - 318,630 -  Diluted earnings per share  Net income available to common shareholders $ 13,432 38,074,218 $ 0.35  Stock options for 619,250 shares, exercisable at prices between $9.58 and $25.43 per share, were outstanding at December 31, 2015 but were not included in the dilutive earnings per share computation because the exercise price per share was greater than the average market price. 
Other Comprehensive Income	12. Other Comprehensive Income  Other comprehensive income consists of revenues, expenses, gains and losses that bypass the statement of operations and are reported directly in a separate component of equity.    For the year ended December 31,  2017 2016 2015  (in thousands)  Other comprehensive income (loss)  Change in net unrealized gains (losses) during the year $ 2,617 $ (953) $ (7,169)  Reclassification adjustments for gains included in income (2,231) (3,170) (14,436)  Reclassification adjustments for foreign currency translation losses (gains) 216 335 (551)  Amortization of losses previously held as available-for-sale 34 34 56  Net unrealized gains (losses) 636 (3,754) (22,100)   Deferred tax expense (benefit)  Available-for-sale securities:  Change in net unrealized gains (losses) during the period 1,046 (381) (2,544)  Reclassification adjustments for gains included in income (892) (1,268) (5,147)  Amortization of losses previously held as available-for-sale 14 14 20  Income tax expense (benefit) related to items of other comprehensive income (loss) 168 (1,635) (7,671)   Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax and reclassifications into net income $ 468 $ (2,119) $ (14,429) 
Restrictions On Cash And Due From Banks	13. Restrictions on Cash and Due from Banks The Bank is required to maintain reserves against customer demand deposits by keeping cash on hand or balances with the FRB. The amount of those required reserves at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $264.7 million and $283.1 million, respectively.
Other Identifiable Intangible Assets	14. Other Identifiable Intangible Assets On November 29, 2012, the Company acquired certain software rights for approximately $1.8 million for use in managing prepaid cards in connection with an acquisition. The software is being amortized over eight years. Amortization expense is $217,000 per year and $539,000 over the remainder of the amortization period. The gross carrying value of the software is $1.8 million, and as of December 31, 2017, the accumulated amortization was $1.3 million. The Company accounts for its prepaid card customer list in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other . The acquisition of the Stored Value Solutions division of Marshall Bank First in 2007 resulted in a customer list intangible of $12.0 million which is being amortized over a 12 year period. Amortization expense is $1.0 million per year ( $2.0 million over the remainder of the amortization period). The gross carrying value of the software is $12.0 million, and as of December 31, 2017, the accumulated amortization was $10.0 million. In May 2016, the Company purchased approximately $60 million of lease receivables which resulted in a customer list intangible of $3.4 million which is being amortized over a 10 year period. Amortization expense is $340,000 per year ( $1.7 million over the next five years). The gross carrying value is $3.4 million and, as of December 31, 2017, the accumulated amortization was $573,000 . The purchase price allocation related to this intangible was finalized in 2017 and remained unchanged from the purchase price allocation recorded in 2016 when the purchase was made.  The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization related to the Company’s intangible items at December 31, 2017 and 2016 are presented below.     December 31,  2017 2016  Gross Gross  Carrying Accumulated Carrying Accumulated  Amount Amortization Amount Amortization  (in thousands)   Customer list intangibles $ 15,411 $ 10,573 $ 15,411 $ 9,232  Software intangible 1,817 1,278 1,817 1,090  Total $ 17,228 $ 11,851 $ 17,228 $ 10,322  The approximate future annual amortization of both the Company’s intangible items are as follows (in thousands):     Year ending December 31,  2018 $ 1,531  2019 1,531  2020 499  2021 340  2022 340  Thereafter 1,136  $ 5,377 
Prepaid Card And Card Payment And ACH Processing Fees	15. Prepaid Card, Card Payment and Automated Clearing House (ACH) Processing Fees  The Company recognizes prepaid card fees and affinity fees in the periods in which they are earned by performance of the related services. The majority of fees the Company earns result from contractual transaction fees paid by third party sponsors to the Company and monthly service fees. Additionally, the Company earns interchange fees paid through settlement with associations such as Visa, which are also determined on a per transaction basis. The Company records this revenue net of costs such as association fees and interchange transaction charges. Fees earned by the Company from processing card payments for recipients of such payments, or from processing ACH payments for companies are also determined primarily on a per transaction basis.
Common Stock Repurchase Program	16. Common Stock Repurchase Program  In 2011, the Company adopted a common stock repurchase program in which share repurchases reduce the amount of shares outstanding. Repurchased shares may be reissued for various corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had repurchased 100,000 shares of the total 750,000 maximum number of shares authorized by the Board of Directors. The 100,000 shares were repurchased at an average cost of $8.66 . The Company did no t repurchase shares in 2017, 2016 or 2015.
Derivative Financial Instruments	17. Derivative Financial Instruments  The Company utilizes derivatives to hedge interest rate risk on the fixed rate loans it originates for sale into commercial mortgage backed securities markets. These derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives, designated as fair value hedges, are recorded in earnings with and in the same consolidated income statement line item as changes in the fair value of the related hedged item. All derivatives are utilized to hedge against interest rate changes between the time commercial mortgages are funded and sold. These derivatives are intended to serve as a hedge against interest rate movements which might otherwise decrease sales proceeds.
Sale Of Health Savings Account Portfolio and European Prepaid Operations	18. Sale of Health Savings Account Portfolio and European Prepaid Operations  The Company sold the majority of its health savings account portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2015. A $33.5 million gain was realized after the contractually required transfer of approximately $400.0 million of related deposit accounts to the purchaser. Substantially all of the remaining health savings accounts were sold in the second quarter of 2017 at a gain of $2.5 million. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company sold its European prepaid operations at a loss of $3.4 million.
Long-term Borrowings	19. Long-term Borrowings  The Company sold loans into a securitization which, at December 31, 2016 was accounted for as a secured borrowing. In the first quarter of 2017, the documentation required to account for the transaction as a sale was completed and the sale was recorded in that quarter. Specifically, the Company had an option to repurchase underlying loans in the future which it could unilaterally renounce. Upon the delivery of its unilateral renunciation to all other applicable parties to the transaction, the transaction qualified as a sale. The $42.3 million outstanding at December 31, 2017, reflected the proceeds from two loans which were sold in which we retained a participating interest that did not qualify for sale accounting.
Purchase of Lease Receivables	20. Purchase of Lease Receivables  On May 12, 2016, the Company purchased approximately $60.0 million of lease receivables from New Concepts Leasing Company, Inc., a New Jersey leasing company which originated commercial vehicle fleet leases. The leases were purchased as they could be integrated into the Company’s portfolio of similar type vehicle leases and contribute to the growth of the Company’s leasing portfolio. The lease purchase was effectuated through the payment of a premium which resulted in an intangible as more fully described in item 14 of this Note B. 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	21. Recent Accounting Pronouncements  In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This ASU establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries conforming to U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate and construction industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this, the standard requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) identify the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation. Three basic transition methods are available: full retrospective, retrospective with certain practical expedients, and a cumulative effect approach. Under the cumulative effect alternative, an entity would apply the new revenue standard only to contracts that are incomplete under legacy U.S. GAAP at the date of initial application and recognize the cumulative effect of the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The guidance in this ASU is effective for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Our payments business contracts encompass our services which are performed, and earned on a daily or monthly basis; accordingly, these contracts with various third parties generally do not entail significant amounts of deferred revenues. These services consist of reconciliation, fraud detection, regulatory compliance and other services which are performed and earned daily or monthly and are also billed and collected on a monthly basis. Accordingly, there is no significant component of the services we perform or related revenues which are deferred. We have nonetheless reviewed a significant number of such contracts for prepaid card accounts, merchant acquiring (processing card payments for merchants) and automated clearing house, or ACH for any potentially significant ramifications of the guidance. We also reviewed other non-interest income producing categories of the Company which include service fees on deposit accounts, gains and losses on other real estate owned, gains and losses on the sale of loans and others. Additionally, the standard does not apply to revenue from loans, securities and other financial instruments. Based upon the nature of our businesses and the reviews we have performed to ascertain potential applicability, the adoption of this standard will not have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or our consolidated financial position.  In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, “ Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure” . The guidance in this ASU affects creditors that hold government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including those guaranteed by the Federal Home Administration (FHA) and the Veterans Administration (VA). It requires that a mortgage loan be derecognized and a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met:  1. The loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure. 2. At the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under the claim. 3. At the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed.  Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The guidance in this ASU was effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The guidance may be applied using a prospective transition method in which a reporting entity applies the guidance to foreclosures that occur after the date of adoption, or a modified retrospective transition using a cumulative-effect adjustment (through a reclassification to a separate other receivable) as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption. Prior periods should not be adjusted. A reporting entity must apply the same method of transition as elected under ASU 2014-04. The guidance of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s balance sheet.  In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Subtopic 825-10, “ Financial Instruments-Overall” Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ” . The main provisions of the guidance include, (i) the measurement of most equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through net income, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that do not have a readily determinable fair value (for which a practical expedient can be elected); (ii) the required use of the exit price notion when valuing financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (iii) the separate presentation in other comprehensive income of the instrument-specific credit risk portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability under the fair value option; (iv) the determination of the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available for sale securities must be made in combination with other deferred tax assets. The guidance eliminates the current classifications of equity securities as trading or available for sale securities and will require separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by category and form of the financial assets on the face of the balance sheet or within the accompanying notes. The guidance also eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.  In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “ Leases ”. The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 – “ Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ”. The Update simplifies several areas of accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees. There are income tax effects resulting from changes in stock price from the grant date to the vesting date of the employee stock compensation. The Update will require these income tax effects to be recognized in the statement of income within income tax expense instead of within additional paid-in capital. In addition, the Update requires changes to the Statement of Cash Flows including the classification between the operating and financing section for tax activity related to employee stock compensation. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2017, and the adoption did not have a material impact on first quarter results.  In June 2016, the F ASB issued an update to Accounting Standards Update (ASU or Update) 2016-13 – “ Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ”. The Update changes the accounting for credit losses on loans and debt securities. For loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, the Update requires a current expected credit loss (CECL) approach to determine the allowance for credit losses. CECL requires loss estimates for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Also, the Update eliminates the existing guidance for purchased credit impaired loans, but requires an allowance for purchased financial assets with more than insignificant deterioration since origination. In addition, the Update modifies the OTTI impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities to require an allowance for credit impairment instead of a direct write-down, which allows for reversal of credit impairments in future periods based on improvements in credit. The guidance is effective in first quarter 2020 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. While early adoption is permitted beginning in first quarter 2019, the Company does not expect to elect that option. The Company is evaluating the impact of the Update on the consolidated financial statements. The Company expects the Update will result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses given the change to estimated losses over the contractual life adjusted for expected prepayments, as well as the addition of an allowance for debt securities. The amount of the increase will be impacted by the portfolio composition and credit quality at the adoption date as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time.  On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Act”). This guidance provided registrants with three scenarios 1) Measurement of certain income tax effects is complete, 2) Measurement of certain income tax effects can be reasonably estimated and 3) Measurement of certain income tax effects cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company has acted in good faith to estimate the effects of the 2017 Act. The results have been recognized and is reflected in the tax accounts in these financial statements. The analysis will be completed in 2018 and we may make adjustments to these provisional amounts.  In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “ Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendment eliminates the stranded tax effect resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. ASU 2018-02 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has early adopted ASU 2018-02. The effect of this adoption was a reclassification of $812,000 from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings on the Company’s December 31, 2017 combined financial statements.
