Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
The Company	Note 1 – The Company Malvern Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “Malvern Bancorp”), a Pennsylvania corporation, is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Holding Company Act”). Malvern Bancorp is the holding company for Malvern Bank, National Association (“Malvern Bank” or the “Bank”), a national bank that was originally organized in 1887 as a federally-chartered savings bank. Malvern Bank now serves as one of the oldest banks headquartered on the Philadelphia Main Line. For more than a century, the Bank has been committed to helping people build prosperous communities as a trusted financial partner, forging lasting relationships through teamwork, respect and integrity. Effective February 12, 2018, the Bank converted from a federal savings bank charter to a national bank charter and Malvern Bancorp converted from a savings and loan holding company to a bank holding company. On October 9, 2018, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $25.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $23.3 million (after deducting the underwriting discount and other offering expenses). The Bank conducts business from its headquarters in Paoli, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, and through its nine other banking locations in Chester, Delaware and Bucks counties, Pennsylvania, Palm Beach, Florida, and Morristown, New Jersey, its New Jersey regional headquarters. The Bank also maintains a representative office in Montchanin, Delaware. The Bank’s primary market niche is providing personalized service to its client base. In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the unaudited consolidated statements of condition and that affect the results of operations for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, other real estate owned, the evaluation of deferred tax assets, the other-than-temporary impairment evaluation of securities, and the valuation of derivative positions. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of financial statement presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Malvern Bank, National Association and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Malvern Insurance Associates, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and note disclosures included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 14, 2018. The consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows for the full year ending September 30, 2019 or any other period. Treasury stock. We record common stock purchased for treasury at cost. At the date of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost of such stock on the first-in, first-out basis. There have been no other significant changes to our Critical Accounting Policies as described in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Recently Issued Collaborative Arrangements. In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808) . This ASU clarifies the interaction between Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements , and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this new requirement is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows of the Company. Fair Value. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement which modifies the disclosures on fair value measurements by removing the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of such transfers and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU expands the disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new requirement is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows of the Company. Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied currently will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. This ASU will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect to early adopt these changes. The Bank has a software system in place to assist with the calculation of Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”). The Company has formed a cross functional implementation team to review the requirements of ASU 2016-13 and has contracted with a third-party provider to assist in the development and implementation of the revised credit loss methodology. The Company has not determined the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. Leases . In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The ASU will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset for its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability for the corresponding lease obligation for leases with terms of more than twelve months. Accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP. The ASU also requires expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures for both lessees and lessors. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method in which the entity applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company plans to apply the new transition method upon adoption. The Company has established an implementation team that continues to make progress toward completing the evaluation of the impact of the new standard. Based on a preliminary assessment, the Company expects to record right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities of approximately $3.2 million. In December 2018, the FASB released issued ASU 2018-20 for Leases (Topic 842): Narrow Scope Improvements for Lessors, which clarifies the treatment of sales taxes and other taxes collected from lessees, lessor costs paid directly by lessees, and recognition of variable payments for contracts with lease and non-lease components. The Company anticipates finalizing its accounting policy and process modifications during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and plans to adopt the guidance in these ASUs effective October 1, 2019

Noninterest Income [Abstract]
Non-Interest Income	Note 3 – Non-Interest Income On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted the amendments of ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. A significant amount of the Company’s revenues is derived from net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which are excluded from the scope of the amended guidance. Some sources of revenue included within non-interest income fall within the scope of Topic 606, while other sources do not. The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligations related to the transfer of goods or services under the terms of the contract are satisfied. Some obligations are satisfied at a point in time while others are satisfied over a period of time. Revenue is recognized as the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. When consideration includes a variable component, the amount of consideration attributable to variability is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that significant revenue recognized will not be reversed when uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company’s contracts generally do not contain terms that require significant judgement to determine the variability impacting the transaction price. The Company has included the following table regarding the Company’s non-interest income for the periods presented.

Revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in our statements of operations as components of other income, include certain fees such as credit card fee income, DDA service and fee income, and debit card fees.

Shares of the Company’s common stock purchased by the ESOP are held until released for allocation to participants. Shares released are allocated to each eligible participant based on the ratio of each such participant’s base compensation to the total base compensation of all eligible plan participants. As the unearned shares are committed to be released and allocated among participants, the Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they become committed to be released. To the extent that the fair value of the ESOP shares released differs from the cost of such shares, the difference is charged or credited to additional paid-in capital. During the period from May 20, 2008 to September 30, 2008, the ESOP purchased 241,178 shares of Company common stock for approximately $2.6 million, at an average price of $10.86 per share, which was funded by a loan from Malvern Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the Company’s predecessor). The ESOP loan is being repaid principally from the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP. The loan, which bears an interest rate of 5%, is being repaid in quarterly installments through 2026. Shares are released to participants proportionately as the loan is repaid. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 7,200 and 3,600 shares, respectively, committed to be released. At March 31, 2019, there were 107,565 unallocated shares and 151,653 allocated shares held by the ESOP. The unallocated shares had an aggregate fair value of approximately $2.2 million at March 31, 2019.

Investments Debt And Equity Securities [Abstract]
Investment Securities	Note 6 - Investment Securities The Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at March 31, 2019 and at September 30, 2018. Investment securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in equity, net of tax. Accordingly, the carrying value of such securities reflects their fair value at the balance sheet date. Fair value is based upon either quoted market prices, or in certain cases where there is limited activity in the market for a particular instrument, assumptions are made to determine their fair value. Held-to-maturity securities which are carried at amortized cost are investments where there is positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Transfers of debt securities from the available-for-sale category to the held-to-maturity category are made at fair value at the date of transfer. The unrealized holding gain or loss at the date of transfer remains in accumulated other comprehensive income and in the carrying value of the held-to-maturity investment security. Premiums or discounts on investment securities are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method over the life of the security as an adjustment of yield. Unrealized holding gains or losses that remain in accumulated other comprehensive income are amortized or accreted over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment of yield, offsetting the related amortization of the premium or accretion of the discount. The following tables present information related to the Company’s investment securities at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

These investment securities are comprised of securities that are rated investment grade by at least one bond credit rating service. Although the fair value will fluctuate as market interest rates move, management believes that these fair values will recover as the underlying portfolios mature and are reinvested in market rate yielding investments. As of March 31, 2019, the Company held two U.S. government agency securities, six municipal bonds, three corporate securities, 37 mortgage-backed securities and one single issuer trust preferred security which were in an unrealized loss position. The Company does not intend to sell and expects that it unlikely that it will be required to sell these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of March 31, 2019 represents other-than-temporary impairment. Investment securities having a carrying value of approximately $7.2 million and $17.9 million at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively were pledged to secure deposits. Pledged investment securities having a carrying value of $2.0 million at March 31, 2019 were held against hedge. There were no pledged investment securities held against hedge at September 30, 2018. In addition, no investment securities were pledged to secure short-term borrowings at March 31, 2019. Investment securities having a carrying value of $3.1 million at September 30, 2018 were pledged to secure short-term borrowings The following table presents information for investment securities at March 31, 2019, based on scheduled maturities. Actual maturities can be expected to differ from scheduled maturities due to prepayment or early call options of the issuer.

The estimation of credit losses is not precise; the range of factors considered is wide and is significantly dependent upon management’s judgment, including the outlook and potential changes in the economic environment. At present, components of the commercial loan segments of the portfolio are new originations and the associated volumes continue to see increased growth. At the same time, historical loss levels have decreased as factors in assessing the portfolio. The combination of these factors has given rise to an increase in the unallocated level within the allowance. Any unallocated portion of the allowance in conjunction with the quarterly review and changes to the qualitative factors to adjust for the risk due to current economic conditions reflects management’s estimate of probable inherent but undetected losses within the portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, regulatory requirements, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower’s financial condition, the difficulty in identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates, and risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors. The following table presents impaired loans in portfolio by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and those for which a specific allowance was not necessary, as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

At March 31, 2019, these loans were also classified as impaired. Eighteen of the TDR loans continue to perform under the restructured terms through March 31, 2019 and we continued to accrue interest on such loans through such date. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on December 14, 2018, one TDR with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $7.0 million ceased to perform under modified terms and as a result the Bank accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. D The Company had $2.3 million Primarily, as a result of this transfer to other real estate owned, TDR loans at March 31, 2019 decreased by $6.3 million compared to September 30, 2018 and total non-performing assets at March 31, 2019 increased by $5.2 million compared to September 30, 2018. All of such loans have been classified as TDRs since we modified the payment terms and in some cases interest rate from the original agreements and allowed the borrowers, who were experiencing financial difficulty, to make interest only payments for a period of time in order to relieve some of their overall cash flow burden. Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest, as modified, and could result in potential incremental losses. These potential incremental losses have been factored into our overall estimate of the allowance for loan losses. The level of any defaults will likely be affected by future economic conditions. A default on a troubled debt restructured loan for purposes of this disclosure occurs when the borrower is 90 days past due or a foreclosure or repossession of the applicable collateral has occurred. TDRs may arise in cases which, due to financial difficulties experienced by the borrower, the Company obtains through physical possession one or more collateral assets in satisfaction of all or part of an existing credit. Once possession is obtained, the Company reclassifies the appropriate portion of the remaining balance of the credit from loans to OREO, which is included within other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. For any residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, the Company is considered to possess the related collateral only if legal title is obtained upon completion of foreclosure, or the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the Company through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement.

Regulatory Matters	Note 8 - Regulatory Matters Shareholders’ Equity On March 14, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan, under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 194,516 shares, or approximately 2.5 percent of the Company’s current outstanding common stock. This authority extends through March 31, 2020 and may be exercised from time to time and in such amounts as market conditions warrant. The repurchases may be made on the open market, in block trades or otherwise. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, the Company purchased 164 shares of its common stock in the open market under the repurchase plan at an average cost of $20.00 per share. Regulatory Capital Requirements The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. 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 Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s and the Bank’s current capital levels exceed the required capital amounts to be considered “well capitalized” and they also meet the fully-phased in minimum capital requirements, including the related capital conservation buffers, as required by the Basel III capital rules.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives and Hedging Activities	Note 9 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. At March 31, 2019, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with FHLB advances. Amounts reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates approximately $262,000 to be reclassified to earnings in interest expense. The Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a maximum period of twenty months (excluding forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments). The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and are not speculative. Rather, these derivatives result from a service the Company provides to certain customers, which the Company implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. The tables below present the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018: ` March 31, 2019 Asset derivatives Liability derivatives Notional Amount Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Notional Amount Fair Value Balance Sheet Location (In thousands) Derivatives designated as a hedging instrument: Interest rate swap agreement $ 35,000 $ 525 Other assets $ 30,000 $ 383 Other liabilities Derivatives not designated as a hedging instrument: Interest rate swap agreement $ 25,350 $ 2,024 Other assets $ 25,350 $ 2,026 Other liabilities September 30, 2018 Asset derivatives Liability derivatives Notional Amount Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Notional Amount Fair Value Balance Sheet Location (In thousands) Derivatives designated as a hedging instrument: Interest rate swap agreement $ 65,000 $ 1,245 Other assets $ - $ - Offsetting of Derivative Assets (In thousands) as of March 31, 2019 Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Statements of Financial Condition Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets Gross Amounts Offset in the Statement of Financial Condition Net Amounts of Assets presented in the Statement of Financial Condition Financial Instruments Cash Collateral Received Net Amount Derivatives $ 2,549 $ - $ 2,549 $ 595 $ - $ 1,954 Offsetting of Derivative Liabilities (In thousands) as of March 31, 2019 Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Statements of Financial Condition Gross Amounts of Recognized Liabilities Gross Amounts Offset in the Statement of Financial Condition Net Amounts of Liabilities presented in the Statement of Financial Condition Financial Instruments Cash Collateral Posted Net Amount Derivatives $ 2,409 $ - $ 2,409 $ 386 $ 55 $ 1,968 Offsetting of Derivative Assets (In thousands) as of September 30, 2018 Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Statements of Financial Condition Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets Gross Amounts Offset in the Statement of Financial Condition Net Amounts of Assets presented in the Statement of Financial Condition Financial Instruments Cash Collateral Received Net Amount Derivatives $ 1,245 $ - $ 1,245 $ 1,245 $ - $ - Offsetting of Derivative Liabilities (In thousands) as of September 30, 2018 Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Statements of Financial Condition Gross Amounts of Recognized Liabilities Gross Amounts Offset in the Statement of Financial Condition Net Amounts of Liabilities presented in the Statement of Financial Condition Financial Instruments Cash Collateral Posted Net Amount Derivatives $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - The tables below present the net gains (losses) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and the Consolidated Statements of Income relating to the cash flow derivative instruments for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement The Company groups its assets at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are: Level 1— Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 2—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3—Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. The Company bases its fair values on the price 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 is our policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements for assets where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon the Company’s or other third-party’s estimates, are often calculated based on the characteristics of the asset, the economic and competitive environment and other factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future valuations. The Company monitors and evaluates available data to perform fair value measurements on an ongoing basis and recognizes transfers among the levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date event or a change in circumstances that affects the valuation method chosen. There were no changes in valuation technique or transfers between levels at March 31, 2019 or September 30, 2018.

At March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company did not have any additions to our mortgage servicing assets. At March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company only sold loans with servicing released. The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 825. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. FASB ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company . The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since March 31, 2019 and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments: Cash and Cash Equivalents —These assets are carried at historical cost. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization . Investment Securities —Investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale (carried at fair value) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurements for these securities are typically obtained from independent pricing services that we have engaged for this purpose. When available, we, or our independent pricing service, use quoted market prices to measure fair value. If market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based upon models that incorporate available trade, bid and other market information and for structured securities, cash flow and, when available, loan performance data. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, our independent pricing service’s applications apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to prepare evaluations. For each asset class, pricing applications and models are based on information from market sources and integrate relevant credit information. All of our securities available for sale are valued using either of the foregoing methodologies to determine fair value adjustments recorded to our financial statements. Loans Receivable —We do not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. As such, valuation techniques discussed herein for loans are primarily for estimating fair value for FASB ASC 825 disclosure purposes. However, from time to time, we record nonrecurring fair value adjustments to loans to reflect partial write-downs for impairment or the full charge-off of the loan carrying value. The valuation of impaired loans is discussed below. The fair value estimate for FASB ASC 825 purposes differentiates loans based on their financial characteristics, such as product classification, loan category, pricing features and remaining maturity. Prepayment and credit loss estimates are evaluated by loan type and rate. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using discount rates based on current industry pricing, adjusted for prepayment and credit loss estimates. Impaired Loans —Impaired loans are valued utilizing independent appraisals that rely upon quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets. These appraisals include adjustments to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience. The appraisals are adjusted downward by management, as necessary, for changes in relevant valuation factors subsequent to the appraisal date and are considered Level 3 inputs . Accrued Interest Receivable —This asset is carried at historical cost. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization . Restricted Stock —Although restricted stock is an equity interest in the FHLB, it is carried at cost because it does not have a readily determinable fair value as its ownership is restricted and it lacks a market. The estimated fair value approximates the carrying amount. Other Real Estate Owned —Assets acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are recorded at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, thus establishing a new cost basis. Fair value is generally based on independent appraisals. These appraisals include adjustments to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience, and are considered Level 3 inputs. When an asset is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over fair value, less estimated selling costs, is charged to the allowance for loan losses. If the estimated fair value of the asset declines, a write-down is recorded through expense. The valuation of foreclosed assets is subjective in nature and may be adjusted in the future because of, among other factors, changes in the economic conditions. Deposits —Deposit liabilities are carried at cost. As such, valuation techniques discussed herein for deposits are primarily for estimating fair value for FASB ASC 825 disclosure purposes. The fair value of deposits is discounted based on rates available for borrowings of similar maturities. A decay rate is estimated for non-time deposits. The discount rate for non-time deposits is adjusted for servicing costs based on industry estimates . Borrowings —Advances from the FHLB are carried at amortized cost. However, we are required to estimate the fair value of long-term debt under FASB ASC 825. The fair value is based on the contractual cash flows discounted using rates currently offered for new notes with similar remaining maturities. Subordinated Debt —The calculation of fair value in Level 2 is based on observable market values where available. Derivatives — The fair value of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2). Our derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rate, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs is actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services . Accrued Interest Payable —This liability is carried at historical cost. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization. Commitments to Extend Credit and Letters of Credit — The majority of the Company’s commitments to extend credit and letters of credit carry current market interest rates if converted to loans and are not included in the table below. Because commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are generally unassignable by either the Bank or the borrower, they only have value to the Company and the borrower. The estimated fair value approximates the recorded deferred fee amounts, which are not significant. Mortgage Servicing Rights —The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on observable market prices when available or the present value of expected future cash flows when not available. Assumptions, such as loan default rates, costs to service, and prepayment speeds significantly affect the estimate of future cash flows. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of cost or fair value . The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 are presented below: March 31, 2019 Carrying Amount Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (In thousands) Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 110,820 $ 110,820 $ 110,820 $ - $ - Investment securities available-for-sale 19,371 19,371 - 19,121 250 Investment securities held-to-maturity 26,789 26,338 - 26,338 - Loans receivable, net (including impaired loans) 997,114 1,000,019 - - 1,000,019 Accrued interest receivable 4,344 4,344 - 4,344 - Restricted stock 8,952 8,952 - 8,952 - Mortgage servicing rights (included in Other Assets) 202 222 - 222 - Derivatives (included in Other Assets) 2,549 2,549 - 2,549 Financial liabilities: Savings accounts 43,943 43,943 - 43,943 - Checking and NOW accounts 338,412 338,412 - 338,412 - Money market accounts 283,571 283,571 - 283,571 - Certificates of deposit 276,448 278,165 - 278,165 - Borrowings (excluding sub debt) 98,000 98,144 - 98,144 - Subordinated debt 24,540 24,540 - 24,540 - Derivatives (included in Other Liabilities) 2,409 2,409 - 2,409 - Accrued interest payable 859 859 - 859 - September 30, 2018 Carrying Amount Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (In thousands) Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 30,834 $ 30,834 $ 30,834 $ - $ - Investment securities available-for-sale 24,298 24,298 9,986 14,062 250 Investment securities held-to-maturity 30,092 28,968 - 28,968 - Loans receivable, net (including impaired loans) 902,136 893,520 - - 893,520 Accrued interest receivable 3,800 3,800 - 3,800 - Restricted stock 8,537 8,537 - 8,537 - Mortgage servicing rights (included in Other Assets) 223 268 - 268 - Derivatives (included in Other Assets) 1,245 1,245 - 1,245 Financial liabilities: Savings accounts 44,642 44,642 - 44,642 - Checking and NOW accounts 225,750 225,750 - 225,750 - Money market accounts 270,834 270,834 - 270,834 - Certificates of deposit 232,937 234,398 - 234,398 - Borrowings (excluding sub debt) 120,500 120,420 - 120,420 - Subordinated debt 24,461 24,461 - 24,461 - Accrued interest payable 784 784 - 784 -

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]
Equity Based Incentive Compensation Plan	Note 12 – Equity Based Incentive Compensation Plan The Company maintains the Malvern Bancorp, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which permits the grant of long-term incentive and other stock and cash awards. The purpose of the 2014 Plan is to promote the success of the Company and the Bank by providing incentives to officers, employees and directors of the Company and the Bank that will link their personal interests to the financial success of the Company and to growth in shareholder value. The maximum total number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for grants under the 2014 Plan is 400,000. As of March 31, 2019, there were 345,315 remaining shares available for future grants. Restricted stock and option awards granted vest in 20% increments beginning on the one year anniversary of the grant date, and accelerate upon a change in control of the Company. The options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. All issuances are subject to forfeiture if the recipient leaves or is terminated prior to the award’s vesting. Shares of restricted stock have the same dividend and voting rights as common stock while options do not. All awards are issued at fair value of the underlying shares at the grant date. The Company expenses the cost of the awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the awards at the date of grant. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, stock options covering a total of 7,000 shares of common stock were granted. The Company did not grant any stock options to purchase common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the six months ended March 31, 2018, stock options covering a total of 4,664 shares of common stock were granted. Total compensation expense related to stock options granted under the 2014 Plan was approximately $10,000 and $11,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 a total of 6,045 and 9,283 restricted shares were awarded, respectively. The Company did not award any restricted shares during the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the six months ended March 31, 2018, a total of 4,768 restricted shares were awarded. Stock-based compensation expense for the cost of the awards granted is based on the grant-date fair value. For stock option awards, the fair value is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Additionally, there may be other factors that would otherwise have a significant effect on the value of employee stock options granted but are not considered by the model. Accordingly, while management believes that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model provides a reasonable estimate of fair value, the model does not necessarily provide the best single measure of fair value for the Company’s employee stock options. Stock Options The assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock option grants for the six months ended March 31, 2019 are as follows: Weighted Average Fair Value of Awards $ 5.72 Risk Free Rate 2.50 % Dividend Yield -% Volatility 20.39 % Expected Life 6.5 years The following is a summary of stock option activity for the six months ended March 31, 2019: Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (In Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding, beginning of year 15,996 $ 22.34 $ 41,490 Granted 7,000 $ 20.90 $ - Exercised - $ - $ - Forfeited/cancelled/expired - $ - $ - Outstanding, end of year 22,996 $ 21.90 8.677 $ 12,300 Exercisable, end of year 5,604 $ 20.70 7.863 $ 7,380 Nonvested, at end of year 17,392 $ 22.29 As of March 31, 2019, there was approximately $72,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.41 years. Restricted Stock Awards The table below summarizes the activity for the Company’s restricted stock outstanding during the six months ended March 31, 2019: Shares Weighted Average Fair Value Outstanding, beginning of year 14,340 $ 22.95 Granted 9,283 $ 20.43 Vested 3,358 $ 22.51 Forfeited/cancelled/expired - $ - Outstanding, end of year 20,265 $ 21.87 As of March 31, 2019, there was approximately $415,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares of restricted stock granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.39 years.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of financial statement presentation	Basis of financial statement presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Malvern Bank, National Association and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Malvern Insurance Associates, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and note disclosures included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 14, 2018. The consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows for the full year ending September 30, 2019 or any other period. Treasury stock. We record common stock purchased for treasury at cost. At the date of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost of such stock on the first-in, first-out basis. There have been no other significant changes to our Critical Accounting Policies as described in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Collaborative Arrangements. In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808) . This ASU clarifies the interaction between Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements , and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this new requirement is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows of the Company. Fair Value. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement which modifies the disclosures on fair value measurements by removing the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of such transfers and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU expands the disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new requirement is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows of the Company. Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied currently will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. This ASU will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect to early adopt these changes. The Bank has a software system in place to assist with the calculation of Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”). The Company has formed a cross functional implementation team to review the requirements of ASU 2016-13 and has contracted with a third-party provider to assist in the development and implementation of the revised credit loss methodology. The Company has not determined the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. Leases . In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The ASU will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset for its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability for the corresponding lease obligation for leases with terms of more than twelve months. Accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP. The ASU also requires expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures for both lessees and lessors. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method in which the entity applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company plans to apply the new transition method upon adoption. The Company has established an implementation team that continues to make progress toward completing the evaluation of the impact of the new standard. Based on a preliminary assessment, the Company expects to record right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities of approximately $3.2 million. In December 2018, the FASB released issued ASU 2018-20 for Leases (Topic 842): Narrow Scope Improvements for Lessors, which clarifies the treatment of sales taxes and other taxes collected from lessees, lessor costs paid directly by lessees, and recognition of variable payments for contracts with lease and non-lease components. The Company anticipates finalizing its accounting policy and process modifications during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and plans to adopt the guidance in these ASUs effective October 1, 2019
