Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Bankwell Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Bankwell”) is a bank holding company headquartered in New Canaan, Connecticut. The Company offers a broad range of financial services through its banking subsidiary, Bankwell Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank was originally chartered as two separate banks, The Bank of New Canaan (“BNC”) and The Bank of Fairfield (“TBF”). In September 2013, BNC and TBF were merged and rebranded as “Bankwell Bank.” In November 2013, the Bank acquired The Wilton Bank (“Wilton”), which added one branch and approximately $25.1 million in loans and $64.2 million in deposits. In October 2014, the Bank acquired Quinnipiac Bank and Trust Company (“Quinnipiac”) which added two branches and approximately $97.8 million in loans and $100.6 million in deposits. On May 15, 2014, the Company priced 2,702,703 common shares in its initial public offering (“IPO”) at $18.00 per share and Bankwell common shares began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company issued a total of 2,702,703 common shares in its IPO, which closed on May 20, 2014. The net proceeds from the IPO were approximately $44.7 million, after deducting the underwriting discount of approximately $2.5 million and approximately $1.3 million of expenses. The Bank is a Connecticut state chartered commercial bank, founded in 2002, whose deposits are insured under the Deposit Insurance Fund administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank provides a full range of banking services to commercial and consumer customers, primarily concentrated in the New York metropolitan area, including Fairfield and New Haven Counties, Connecticut, with branch locations in New Canaan, Stamford, Fairfield, Wilton, Norwalk, Hamden and North Haven, Connecticut. Principles of consolidation The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and revenue and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan losses, stock-based compensation and derivative instrument valuation. Basis of consolidated financial statement presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-1 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures considered necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been included. Interim results are not necessarily reflective of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Significant concentrations of credit risk Most of the Company's activities are with customers located within the New York metropolitan area, including Fairfield and New Haven Counties, Connecticut, and declines in property values in these areas could significantly impact the Company. The Company has significant concentrations in commercial real estate loans. Management does not believe they present any special risk. The Company does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or customer. Reclassification Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications only changed the reporting categories and did not affect the consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

There were no gross realized losses on the sale of investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2017. There were no sales of or realized gains or losses on investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2017 there were no securities pledged as collateral with the FHLB. At December 31, 2016, securities with approximate fair values of $60.0 million were pledged as collateral with the FHLB. The following table provides information regarding investment securities with unrealized losses, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016: Length of Time in Continuous Unrealized Loss Position Less Than 12 Months 12 Months or More Total Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Value Loss Value Loss Value Loss (In thousands) March 31, 2017 U.S. Government and agency obligations $ 3,065 $ (35 ) $ - $ - $ 3,065 $ (35 ) State agency and municipal obligations 879 (73 ) - - 879 (73 ) Corporate bonds - - 991 (9 ) 991 (9 ) Total investment securities $ 3,944 $ (108 ) $ 991 $ (9 ) $ 4,935 $ (117 ) December 31, 2016 U.S. Government and agency obligations $ 3,045 $ (54 ) $ - $ - $ 3,045 $ (54 ) State agency and municipal obligations 2,756 (123 ) - - 2,756 (123 ) Corporate bonds 978 (23 ) - - 978 (23 ) Total investment securities $ 6,779 $ (200 ) $ - $ - $ 6,779 $ (200 ) There were eight and eleven investment securities as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, in which the fair value of the security was less than the amortized cost of the security. The U.S. Government and agency obligations owned are either direct obligations of the U.S. Government or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, therefore the contractual cash flows are guaranteed and as a result the unrealized losses in this portfolio are not considered other than temporarily impaired. The Company continually monitors its state agency, municipal and corporate bond portfolios and at this time these portfolios have minimal default risk because state agency, municipal and corporate bonds are all rated above investment grade.

Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses Loans acquired in connection with the Wilton acquisition in November 2013 and the Quinnipiac acquisition in October 2014 are referred to as “acquired” loans as a result of the manner in which they are accounted for. All other loans are referred to as “originated” loans. Accordingly, selected credit quality disclosures that follow are presented separately for the originated loan portfolio and the acquired loan portfolio.

Loans may also be granted for the construction of residential homes and commercial properties. All residential and commercial mortgage loans are typically collateralized by first or second mortgages on real estate. Certain acquired loans were determined to have evidence of credit deterioration at the acquisition date. Such loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30. The following table summarizes activity in the accretable yields for the acquired loan portfolio that falls under the purview of ASC 310-30: (In thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Balance at beginning of period $ 666 $ 871 Accretion (30 ) (49 ) Other (a) - (51 ) Balance at end of period $ 636 $ 771 a) Represents changes in cash flows expected to be collected due to loan sales or payoffs. Risk management The Company has established credit policies applicable to each type of lending activity in which it engages. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer and extends credit of up to 80% of the market value of the collateral, depending on the borrowers’ creditworthiness and the type of collateral. The borrower’s ability to service the debt is monitored on an ongoing basis. Real estate is the primary form of collateral. Other important forms of collateral are business assets, time deposits and marketable securities. While collateral provides assurance as a secondary source of repayment, the Company ordinarily requires the primary source of repayment for commercial loans, to be based on the borrower’s ability to generate continuing cash flows. The Company’s policy for residential lending allows that, generally, the amount of the loan may not exceed 80% of the original appraised value of the property. In certain situations, the amount may exceed 80% LTV either with private mortgage insurance being required for that portion of the residential loan in excess of 80% of the appraised value of the property or where secondary financing is provided by a housing authority program second mortgage, a community’s low/moderate income housing program, or a religious or civic organization. Private mortgage insurance may be required for that portion of the residential first mortgage loan in excess of 80% of the appraised value of the property. Credit quality of loans and the allowance for loan losses Management segregates the loan portfolio into portfolio segments which is defined as the level at which the develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for loan losses. The portfolio segments are segregated based on loan types and the underlying risk factors present in each loan type. Such risk factors are periodically reviewed by management and revised as deemed appropriate. The Company's loan portfolio is segregated into the following portfolio segments: Residential Real Estate: Commercial Real Estate: Construction: Home Equity: Commercial Business: Consumer: Allowance for loan losses The following tables set forth the activity in the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, by portfolio segment: Residential Commercial Construction Home Commercial Consumer Total (In thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Originated Beginning balance $ 1,498 $ 9,534 $ 2,105 $ 156 $ 4,240 $ 350 $ 17,883 Charge-offs - - - - - - - Recoveries - - - - - 1 1 Provisions (4 ) 7 17 (3 ) 502 (5 ) 514 Ending balance $ 1,494 $ 9,541 $ 2,122 $ 153 $ 4,742 $ 346 $ 18,398 Acquired Beginning balance $ - $ 29 $ - $ - $ 43 $ 27 $ 99 Charge-offs - - - - - (15 ) (15 ) Recoveries - - - - - - - Provisions - (21 ) - - 36 14 29 Ending balance $ - $ 8 $ - $ - $ 79 $ 26 $ 113 Total Beginning balance $ 1,498 $ 9,563 $ 2,105 $ 156 $ 4,283 $ 377 $ 17,982 Charge-offs - - - - - (15 ) (15 ) Recoveries - - - - - 1 1 Provisions (4 ) (14 ) 17 (3 ) 538 9 543 Ending balance $ 1,494 $ 9,549 $ 2,122 $ 153 $ 4,821 $ 372 $ 18,511 Residential Commercial Construction Home Commercial Consumer Total (In thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Originated Beginning balance $ 1,444 $ 7,693 $ 1,504 $ 174 $ 3,310 $ 3 $ 14,128 Charge-offs - - - - - (1 ) (1 ) Recoveries - - - - - 5 5 Provisions 59 741 79 4 (224 ) (4 ) 655 Ending balance $ 1,503 $ 8,434 $ 1,583 $ 178 $ 3,086 $ 3 $ 14,787 Acquired Beginning balance $ - $ 12 $ - $ - $ 24 $ 5 $ 41 Charge-offs - - (7 ) - - (2 ) (9 ) Recoveries - - - - - - - Provisions - 1 7 - (18 ) 1 (9 ) Ending balance $ - $ 13 $ - $ - $ 6 $ 4 $ 23 Total Beginning balance $ 1,444 $ 7,705 $ 1,504 $ 174 $ 3,334 $ 8 $ 14,169 Charge-offs - - (7 ) - - (3 ) (10 ) Recoveries - - - - - 5 5 Provisions 59 742 86 4 (242 ) (3 ) 646 Ending balance $ 1,503 $ 8,447 $ 1,583 $ 178 $ 3,092 $ 7 $ 14,810 The following tables are a summary, by portfolio segment and impairment methodology, of the allowance for loan losses and related portfolio balances at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016: Originated Loans Acquired Loans Total Portfolio Allowance Portfolio Allowance Portfolio Allowance (In thousands) March 31, 2017 Loans individually evaluated for impairment: Residential real estate $ 969 $ - $ - $ - $ 969 $ - Commercial real estate 1,028 3 1,454 7 2,482 10 Home equity 255 - 450 - 705 - Commercial business 1,048 4 542 79 1,590 83 Consumer 341 341 30 26 371 367 Subtotal 3,641 348 2,476 112 6,117 460 Loans collectively evaluated for impairment: Residential real estate 177,334 1,494 2,731 - 180,065 1,494 Commercial real estate 845,646 9,538 38,805 1 884,451 9,539 Construction 107,656 2,122 110 - 107,766 2,122 Home equity 8,201 153 5,202 - 13,403 153 Commercial business 220,546 4,738 15,691 - 236,237 4,738 Consumer 537 5 155 - 692 5 Subtotal 1,359,920 18,050 62,694 1 1,422,614 18,051 Total $ 1,363,561 $ 18,398 $ 65,170 $ 113 $ 1,428,731 $ 18,511 Originated Loans Acquired Loans Total Portfolio Allowance Portfolio Allowance Portfolio Allowance (In thousands) December 31, 2016 Loans individually evaluated for impairment: Residential real estate $ 969 $ - $ - $ - $ 969 $ - Commercial real estate 774 1 144 7 918 8 Home equity 259 - 453 - 712 - Commercial business 920 5 962 37 1,882 42 Consumer 341 341 27 27 368 368 Subtotal 3,263 347 1,586 71 4,849 418 Loans collectively evaluated for impairment: Residential real estate 177,580 1,498 2,761 - 180,341 1,498 Commercial real estate 801,382 9,533 43,022 22 844,404 9,555 Construction 107,329 2,105 112 - 107,441 2,105 Home equity 8,290 156 5,417 - 13,707 156 Commercial business 197,536 4,235 16,496 6 214,032 4,241 Consumer 331 9 834 - 1,165 9 Subtotal 1,292,448 17,536 68,642 28 1,361,090 17,564 Total $ 1,295,711 $ 17,883 $ 70,228 $ 99 $ 1,365,939 $ 17,982 Credit quality indicators The Company's policies provide for the classification of loans into the following categories: pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Consistent with regulatory guidelines, loans that are considered to be of lesser quality are classified as substandard, doubtful, or loss assets. A loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans include those loans characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. Loans that do not expose the Company to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve close attention, are designated as special mention. Loans that are considered to be impaired are analyzed to determine whether a loss is possible and if so, a calculation is performed to determine the possible loss amount. If it is determined that the loss amount is $0, no reserve is held against the asset. If a loss is calculated, then a specific reserve for that asset is allocated.

The Company also contacts the borrower by phone if the delinquency is not corrected promptly after the notice has been sent. When the loan is 30 days past due, the Company mails the borrower a letter reminding the borrower of the delinquency, and attempts to contact the borrower personally to determine the reason for the delinquency and ensure the borrower understands the terms of the loan. If necessary, subsequent delinquency notices are issued and the account will be monitored on a regular basis thereafter. By the 90th day of delinquency, the Company will send the borrower a final demand for payment or may take other appropriate legal action. A summary report of all loans 30 days or more past due is provided to the board of directors of the Company each month. Loans greater than 90 days past due are generally put on nonaccrual status. A nonaccrual loan is restored to accrual status when it is no longer delinquent and collectability of interest and principal is no longer in doubt. A loan is considered to be no longer delinquent when timely payments are made for a period of at least six months (one year for loans providing for quarterly or semi-annual payments) by the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms.

Impaired loans An impaired loan generally is one for which it is probable, based on current information, the Company will not collect all the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan. Loans are individually evaluated for impairment. When the Company classifies a problem loan as impaired, it provides a specific valuation allowance for that portion of the asset that is deemed uncollectible. The following table summarizes impaired loans by portfolio segment as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016: Carrying Amount Unpaid Principal Balance Associated Allowance March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Originated (In thousands) Impaired loans without a valuation allowance: Residential real estate $ 969 $ 969 $ 969 $ 969 $ - $ - Commercial real estate 694 651 700 651 - - Home equity 255 259 267 269 - - Commercial business 703 551 737 584 - - Total impaired loans without a valuation allowance 2,621 2,430 2,673 2,473 - - Impaired loans with a valuation allowance: Commercial real estate 334 123 334 123 3 1 Commercial business 345 369 345 369 4 5 Consumer 341 341 341 341 341 341 Total impaired loans with a valuation allowance 1,020 833 1,020 833 348 347 Total originated impaired loans $ 3,641 $ 3,263 $ 3,693 $ 3,306 $ 348 $ 347 Acquired Impaired loans without a valuation allowance: Commercial real estate $ 1,310 $ - $ 1,328 $ - $ - $ - Home equity 450 453 462 462 - - Commercial business 438 572 462 593 - - Consumer 4 - 4 - - - Total impaired loans without a valuation allowance 2,202 1,025 2,256 1,055 - - Impaired loans with a valuation allowance: Commercial Real Estate $ 144 $ 144 $ 144 $ 144 $ 7 $ 7 Commercial business 104 390 105 390 79 37 Consumer 26 27 26 27 26 27 Total impaired loans with a valuation allowance 274 561 275 561 112 71 Total acquired impaired loans $ 2,476 $ 1,586 $ 2,531 $ 1,616 $ 112 $ 71 The following table summarizes the average recorded investment balance of impaired loans and interest income recognized on impaired loans by portfolio segment as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016: Average Recorded Investment Interest Income Recognized March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Originated (In thousands) Impaired loans without a valuation allowance: Residential real estate $ 969 $ 969 $ - $ - Commercial real estate 706 668 5 29 Home equity 256 267 1 10 Commercial business 724 987 4 76 Total impaired loans without a valuation allowance 2,655 2,891 10 115 Impaired loans with a valuation allowance: Commercial real estate 337 128 4 6 Commercial business 357 417 5 22 Consumer 341 341 - - Total impaired loans with a valuation allowance 1,035 886 9 28 Total originated impaired loans $ 3,690 $ 3,777 $ 19 $ 143 Acquired Impaired loans without a valuation allowance: Commercial real estate $ 1,328 $ - $ 10 $ - Home equity 456 456 - 9 Commercial business 459 629 3 36 Consumer 5 - - - Total impaired loans without a valuation allowance 2,248 1,085 13 45 Impaired loans with a valuation allowance: Commercial real estate 144 $ 144 - - Commercial business 105 406 1 19 Consumer 26 27 - - Total impaired loans with a valuation allowance 275 577 1 19 Total acquired impaired loans $ 2,523 $ 1,662 $ 14 $ 64 Troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) Modifications to a loan are considered to be a troubled debt restructuring when one or both of the following conditions is met: 1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and/or 2) the modification constitutes a concession that is not in line with market rates and/or terms. Modified terms are dependent upon the financial position and needs of the individual borrower. Troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans. If a performing loan is restructured into a TDR it remains in performing status. If a nonperforming loan is restructured into a TDR, it continues to be carried in nonaccrual status. Nonaccrual classification may be removed if the borrower demonstrates compliance with the modified terms for a minimum of six months. The recorded investment in TDRs was $1.4 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. There were no loans modified as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016. All TDRs at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were performing in compliance with their modified terms, except for one non-accrual loan totaling $60 thousand at March 31, 2017 and $66 thousand at December 31, 2016.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY	4. Shareholders' Equity Common stock On May 15, 2014, the Company priced 2,702,703 common shares in its initial public offering (“IPO”) at $18.00 per share and Bankwell common shares began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company issued a total of 2,702,703 common shares in its IPO, which closed on May 20, 2014. The net proceeds from the IPO were approximately $44.7 million, after deducting the underwriting discount of approximately $2.5 million and approximately $1.3 million of expenses. Prior to the public offering, the Company issued shares in various offerings. Warrants As a result of the acquisition of Quinnipiac on October 1, 2014 the Company issued 68,600 warrants to former Quinnipiac warrant holders in accordance with the merger agreement. Each warrant was automatically converted into a warrant to purchase 0.56 shares of the Company’s common stock for an exercise price of $17.86. A total of 11,200 warrants have been exercised as of March 31, 2017. The warrants expire on March 6, 2018. Dividends The Company’s shareholders are entitled to dividends when and if declared by the board of directors, out of funds legally available. The ability of the Company to pay dividends depends, in part, on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. In accordance with Connecticut statutes, regulatory approval is required to pay dividends in excess of the Bank’s profits retained in the current year plus retained profits from the previous two years. The Bank is also prohibited from paying dividends that would reduce its capital ratios below minimum regulatory requirements. The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock during 2017 or 2016.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE	3 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS PER SHARE	6. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (such as stock options) were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings. Restricted stock awards include the right to receive non forfeitable dividends, and are therefore, considered to participate with common stock in undistributed earnings for purposes of computing EPS. The Company’s unvested restricted stock awards are participating securities, and therefore, are included in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per common share. EPS is calculated using the two class method, under which calculations (1) exclude from the numerator any dividends paid or owed on participating securities and any undistributed earnings considered to be attributable to participating securities and (2) exclude from the denominator the dilutive impact of the participating securities. The following is a reconciliation of earnings available to common shareholders and basic weighted average common shares outstanding to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, reflecting the application of the two-class method: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 (In thousands, except per share data) Net income $ 3,702 $ 2,991 Dividends to participating securities (7 ) (6 ) Undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities (43 ) (49 ) Net income for earnings per share calculation $ 3,652 $ 2,936 Weighted average shares outstanding, basic 7,525 7,380 Effect of dilutive equity-based awards 107 52 Weighted average shares outstanding, diluted 7,632 7,432 Net earnings per common share: Basic earnings per common share $ 0.49 $ 0.40 Diluted earnings per common share 0.48 0.40

Banking and Thrift [Abstract]
REGULATORY MATTERS	7. Regulatory Matters The Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the other federal and state bank regulatory agencies establish regulatory capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations. As of January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank became subject to new capital rules set forth by the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the other federal and state bank regulatory agencies. The capital rules revise the banking agencies’ leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act (the Basel III Capital Rules). The Basel III Capital Rules establish a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital requirement of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; set the minimum leverage ratio at 4% of total assets; increased the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets requirement from 4% to 6%; and retained the minimum total capital to risk weighted assets requirement at 8.0%. A “well-capitalized” institution must generally maintain capital ratios 100-200 basis points higher than the minimum guidelines. The Basel III Capital Rules also change the risk weights assigned to certain assets. The Basel III Capital Rules assigned a higher risk weight (150%) to loans that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The Basel III Capital Rules also alter the risk weighting for other assets, including marketable equity securities that are risk weighted generally at 300%. The Basel III Capital Rules require certain components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-out is exercised. The Bank did exercise its opt-out option and will exclude the unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) from regulatory capital. The Basel III Capital Rules limit a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of regulatory risk based capital ratios in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The required minimum conservation buffer began to be phased in incrementally, starting at 0.625% on January 1, 2016 and will increase to 1.25% on January 1, 2017, 1.875% on January 1, 2018 and 2.5% on January 1, 2019. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management believes, as of March 31, 2017, the Bank and Company meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and satisfies the criteria for a “well capitalized” institution. There are no conditions or events since then that management believes have changed this conclusion. The capital amounts and ratios for the Bank and the Company at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows: To be Well Capitalized Under For Capital Prompt Corrective Actual Capital Adequacy Purposes Action Provisions (Dollars in thousands) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Bankwell Bank March 31, 2017 Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets $ 162,052 11.16 % $ 65,346 4.50 % $ 94,389 6.50 % Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets 180,208 12.41 % 116,171 8.00 % 145,213 10.00 % Tier I Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets 162,052 11.16 % 87,128 6.00 % 116,171 8.00 % Tier I Capital to Average Assets 162,052 10.06 % 64,440 4.00 % 80,550 5.00 % Bankwell Financial Group, Inc.

In accordance with Connecticut statutes, regulatory approval is required to pay dividends in excess of the Bank’s profits retained in the current year plus retained profits from the previous two years. The Bank is also prohibited from paying dividends that would reduce its capital ratios below minimum regulatory requirements.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	8. Stock-Based Compensation Equity award plans The Company has five equity award plans, which are collectively referred to as the “Plan”. The current plan under which any future issuances of equity awards will be made is the 2012 BNC Financial Group, Inc. Stock Plan, or the “2012 Plan,” amended on June 26, 2013. All equity awards made under the 2012 Plan are made by means of an award agreement, which contains the specific terms and conditions of the grant. To date, all equity awards have been in the form of share options or restricted stock. At March 31, 2017, there were 482,802 shares reserved for future issuance under the 2012 Plan. Stock Options: There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017. A summary of the status of outstanding share options as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is presented below: Three Months Ended Weighted Number Average of Exercise Shares Price Options outstanding at beginning of period 120,988 $ 18.58 Exercised (13,561 ) 18.77 Forfeited (200 ) 15.00 Options outstanding at end of period 107,227 18.56 Options exercisable at end of period 107,227 18.56 Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of an option on the exercise date. The total intrinsic value of share options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $175 thousand. Restricted Stock: The following table presents the activity for restricted stock for the three months ended March 31, 2017: Three Months Ended March 31, Weighted Number Average of Grant Date Shares Fair Value Unvested at beginning of period 96,594 $ 19.80 Granted 15,000 31.55 Vested (2,900 ) 14.66 Forfeited (10,518 ) 19.28 Unvested at end of period 98,176 21.81 The Company's restricted stock expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $216 thousand and $247 thousand, respectively. Market Conditions Restricted Stock In January 2016 the Company modified the market conditions restricted stock grant. The total shares originally granted for the $29.00 price target have been modified to a time based restricted stock grant. The shares will vest over a four year period with the first installment having vested on December 1, 2016 and the remaining shares to vest on each annual anniversary thereafter. In addition, the shares originally granted for the $25.00 and $27.00 price targets have been modified. These shares vest over a period from the date of the modification to December 1, 2019 based on meeting the price targets. The price targets will be met when the 30 day average stock price meets or exceeds the price targets. The Company determined the fair market value of the modified awards for the $25.00 and $27.00 price targets in accordance with ASC 718 Stock Compensation using the Monte Carlo simulation model deemed appropriate for this type of modification. The Company expensed an incremental cost associated with this modification of $2.19 for the awards that vest at the $25 stock price, $2.03 for the awards that vest at the $27 stock price and $13.66 for the awards that were modified to a time based grant. The shares granted for the $25.00 and $27.00 price targets fully vested in the fourth quarter of 2016 based on meeting the vesting terms of the grant. The Company recognized $0 and $49 thousand in stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for these restricted stock awards. As of March 31, 2017 the Company had no outstanding market conditions restricted stock.

The Bank assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Bank's cash flow hedge positions are all forward starting interest rate swap transactions. The Bank entered into the following forward starting interest rate swap transactions: Original Effective Date of (Dollars in thousands) Notional Hedged Duration of Counterparty Type of borrowing: FHLB 90-day advance $ 25,000 April 1, 2014 4.7 years Bank of Montreal FHLB 90-day advance $ 25,000 January 2, 2015 5.0 years Bank of Montreal FHLB 90-day advance $ 25,000 August 26, 2015 5.0 years Bank of Montreal FHLB 90-day advance $ 25,000 July 1, 2016 5.0 years Bank of Montreal This hedge strategy converts the floating rate of interest on certain FHLB advances to fixed interest rates, thereby protecting the Bank from floating interest rate variability. Changes in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income related to interest rate derivatives designated as hedges of cash flows were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016: Three Months Ended March 31, (In thousands) 2017 2016 Interest rate swap on FHLB advance: Unrealized gains (losses) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income $ 218 $ (1,408 ) Income tax (expense) benefit on items recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (76 ) 493 Other comprehensive income (loss) $ 142 $ (915 ) Interest expense recognized on hedged FHLB advance $ 384 $ 308

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments GAAP requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the statement of condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparisons to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company's financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sales transaction at either March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of the respective period-ends, and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period-end. The carrying values, fair values and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial instruments at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows: March 31, 2017 Carrying Fair Value Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (In thousands) Financial Assets: Cash and due from banks $ 63,675 $ 63,675 $ 63,675 $ - $ - Federal funds sold 10,280 10,280 10,280 - - Available for sale securities 87,434 87,434 - 87,434 - Held to maturity securities 16,808 16,813 - 16,813 - Loans receivable, net 1,406,407 1,392,407 - - 1,392,407 Accrued interest receivable 5,180 5,180 - - 5,180 FHLB stock 8,033 8,033 - - 8,033 Derivative asset, net 955 955 - 955 - Financial Liabilities: Demand deposits $ 170,572 $ 170,572 $ - $ - $ 170,572 NOW and money market 424,318 424,318 - - 424,318 Savings 117,395 117,395 - - 117,395 Time deposits 615,175 616,548 - - 616,548 Advances from the FHLB 160,000 160,112 - - 160,112 Subordinated debentures 25,064 25,572 - - 25,572 December 31, 2016 Carrying Fair Value Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (In thousands) Financial Assets: Cash and due from banks $ 96,026 $ 96,026 $ 96,026 $ - $ - Federal funds sold 329 329 329 - - Available for sale securities 87,751 87,751 - 87,751 - Held to maturity securities 16,859 16,851 - 16,851 - Loans held for sale 254 254 - 254 - Loans receivable, net 1,343,895 1,339,055 - - 1,339,055 Accrued interest receivable 4,958 4,958 - - 4,958 FHLB stock 7,943 7,943 - - 7,943 Derivative asset, net 737 737 - 737 - Financial Liabilities: Demand deposits $ 187,593 $ 187,593 $ - $ - $ 187,593 NOW and money market 402,982 402,982 - - 402,982 Savings 96,601 96,601 - - 96,601 Time deposits 601,861 603,456 - - 603,456 Advances from the FHLB 160,000 160,118 - - 160,118 Subordinated debentures 25,051 25,645 - - 25,645 The following methods and assumptions were used by management in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and accrued interest receivable: Investment securities: FHLB stock: Loans held for sale: Loans receivable Derivative asset (liability): Deposits: Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	3 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	11. Fair Value Measurements The Company is required to account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis. As discussed in Note 1, the Company determines fair value in accordance with GAAP, which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values: Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar as s Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation techniques based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters such as the amount and timing of future cash flows and the selection of discount rates that may appropriately reflect market and credit risks. Changes in these judgments often have a material impact on the fair value estimates. In addition, since these estimates are as of a specific point in time they are susceptible to material near-term changes. Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis The following tables detail the financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine the fair value. The Company had no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016.

The following table details the financial instruments carried at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine the fair value: Fair Value (In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 March 31, 2017: Impaired loans $ - $ - $ 6,117 Foreclosed real estate - - 272 December 31, 2016: Impaired loans $ - $ - $ 4,849 Foreclosed real estate - - 272 The following table presents information about quantitative inputs and assumptions for Level 3 financial instruments carried at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016: (Dollars in thousands) Fair Value Valuation Unobservable Input Range March 31, 2017: Impaired loans $ 6,117 Appraisals Discount to appraised value 8.00 - 28.00 % Discounted cash flows Discount rate 4.25 - 6.25 % Foreclosed real estate $ 272 Appraisals Discount to appraised value 20 % December 31, 2016: Impaired loans $ 4,849 Appraisals Discount to appraised value 8.00 - 28.00 % Discounted cash flows Discount rate 4.25 - 6.25 % Foreclosed real estate $ 272 Appraisals Discount to appraised value 20 % Impaired loans: Foreclosed real estate:

SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES	12. Subordinated debentures On August 19, 2015 the Company completed a private placement of $25.5 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed rate subordinated notes (the “Notes”) to certain institutional investors. The Notes are non-callable for five years, have a stated maturity of August 15, 2025, and bear interest at a quarterly pay fixed rate of 5.75% per annum to the maturity date or the early redemption date. The Notes have been structured to qualify for the Company as Tier 2 capital under regulatory guidelines. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which included maintaining liquidity at the holding company, providing equity capital to the Bank to fund balance sheet growth, our working capital needs, and funding acquisitions of branches and whole financial institutions in or around our existing market that furthered our objectives.
