Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES Ameris Bancorp (the “Company” or “Ameris”) is a financial holding company headquartered in Moultrie, Georgia. Ameris conducts substantially all of its operations through its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Ameris Bank (the “Bank”). At June 30, 2016, the Bank operated 102 branches in select markets in Georgia, Alabama, Florida and South Carolina. Our business model capitalizes on the efficiencies of a large financial services company while still providing the community with the personalized banking service expected by our customers. We manage our Bank through a balance of decentralized management responsibilities and efficient centralized operating systems, products and loan underwriting standards. The Company’s Board of Directors and senior managers establish corporate policy, strategy and administrative policies. Within our established guidelines and policies, the banker closest to the customer responds to the differing needs and demands of his or her unique market. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Ameris have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statement presentation. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited but reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto and the report of our registered independent public accounting firm included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The new standard will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, which include, but are not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments and financial guarantees. ASU 2016-13 simplifies the accounting for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-09 – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ASU 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842) ASU 2015-16 – Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments ASU 2015-03 – Interest – Imputation of Interest ASU 2015-03 . It should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s ASU 2015-02 “ Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . ASU 2015-01- Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items eliminates the concept of extraordinary items by no longer allowing companies to segregate an extraordinary item from the results of operations, separately present an extraordinary item on the income statement, or disclose income taxes or earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. ASU 2015-01 . The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]
INVESTMENT SECURITIES	NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT SECURITIES The Company’s investment policy blends the Company’s liquidity needs and interest rate risk management with its desire to increase income and provide funds for expected growth in loans. The investment securities portfolio consists primarily of U.S. government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities and agencies, state, county and municipal securities and corporate debt securities. The Company’s portfolio and investing philosophy concentrate activities in obligations where the credit risk is limited. For the small portion of the Company’s portfolio found to present credit risk, the Company has reviewed the investments and financial performance of the obligors and believes the credit risk to be acceptable.

Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2016. During the first six months of 2016 and 2015, the Company received timely and current interest and principal payments on all of the securities classified as corporate debt securities, except for one security that began deferring interest during the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company’s investments in subordinated debt include investments in regional and super-regional banks on which the Company prepares regular analysis through review of financial information and credit ratings. Investments in preferred securities are also concentrated in the preferred obligations of regional and super-regional banks through non-pooled investment structures. The Company did not have investments in “pooled” trust preferred securities at June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 or June 30, 2015. Management and the Company’s Asset and Liability Committee (the “ALCO Committee”) evaluate securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. While the majority of the unrealized losses on debt securities relate to changes in interest rates, corporate debt securities have also been affected by reduced levels of liquidity and higher risk premiums. Occasionally, management engages independent third parties to evaluate the Company’s position in certain corporate debt securities to aid management and the ALCO Committee in its determination regarding the status of impairment. The Company believes that each investment poses minimal credit risk and further, that the Company does not intend to sell these investment securities at an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2016, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery or maturity. Therefore, at June 30, 2016, these investments are not considered impaired on an other-than-temporary basis. At June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, all of the Company’s mortgage-backed securities were obligations of government-sponsored agencies.

LOANS

Receivables [Abstract]
LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES	NOTE 4 – LOANS The Bank engages in a full complement of lending activities, including real estate-related loans, agriculture-related loans, commercial and financial loans and consumer installment loans within select markets in Georgia, Alabama, Florida and South Carolina. The Bank also purchased loan pools during 2015 and 2016 collateralized by properties located outside our Southeast markets, specifically in California, Washington and Illinois. The Bank concentrates the majority of its lending activities in real estate loans. While risk of loss in the Company’s portfolio is primarily tied to the credit quality of the various borrowers, risk of loss may increase due to factors beyond the Company’s control, such as local, regional and/or national economic downturns. General conditions in the real estate market may also impact the relative risk in the real estate portfolio. A substantial portion of the Bank’s loans are secured by real estate in the Bank’s primary market area. In addition, a substantial portion of the OREO is located in those same markets. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of OREO are susceptible to changes in real estate conditions in the Bank’s primary market area. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans include both secured and unsecured loans for working capital, expansion, crop production, and other business purposes, including SBA guaranteed loans. Short-term working capital loans are secured by non-real estate collateral such as accounts receivable, crops, inventory and equipment. The Bank evaluates the financial strength, cash flow, management, credit history of the borrower and the quality of the collateral securing the loan. The Bank often requires personal guarantees and secondary sources of repayment on commercial, financial and agricultural loans. Real estate loans include construction and development loans, commercial and farmland loans and residential loans. Construction and development loans include loans for the development of residential neighborhoods, one-to-four family home residential construction loans to builders and consumers, and commercial real estate construction loans, primarily for owner-occupied properties. The Company limits its construction lending risk through adherence to established underwriting procedures. Commercial real estate loans include loans secured by owner-occupied commercial buildings for office, storage, retail, farmland and warehouse space. They also include non-owner occupied commercial buildings such as leased retail and office space. Commercial real estate loans may be larger in size and may involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. Payments on such loans are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties. Residential loans represent permanent mortgage financing and are secured by residential properties located within the Bank's market areas, along with warehouse lines of credit secured by residential mortgages. Consumer installment loans and other loans include automobile loans, boat and recreational vehicle financing, and secured and unsecured personal loans. Consumer loans carry greater risks than other loans, as the collateral can consist of rapidly depreciating assets such as automobiles and equipment that may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the loan in the case of default. Loans are stated at unpaid balances, net of unearned income and deferred loan fees.

Interest receivable that has been accrued and is subsequently determined to have doubtful collectability is charged against interest income. Interest on loans that are classified as nonaccrual is subsequently applied to principal until the loans are returned to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Concessions may include interest rate reductions to below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. The Company has exhibited the greatest success for rehabilitation of the loan by a reduction in the rate alone (maintaining the amortization of the debt) or a combination of a rate reduction and the forbearance of previously past due interest or principal. This has most typically been evidenced in certain commercial real estate loans whereby a disruption in the borrower’s cash flow resulted in an extended past due status, of which the borrower was unable to catch up completely as the cash flow of the property ultimately stabilized at a level lower than its original level. A reduction in rate, coupled with a forbearance of unpaid principal and/or interest, allowed the net cash flows to service the debt under the modified terms. The Company’s policy requires a restructure request to be supported by a current, well-documented credit evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition and a collateral evaluation that is no older than six months from the date of the restructure. Key factors of that evaluation include the documentation of current, recurring cash flows, support provided by the guarantor(s) and the current valuation of the collateral. If the appraisal in the file is older than six months, an evaluation must be made as to the continued reasonableness of the valuation. For certain income-producing properties, current rent rolls and/or other income information can be utilized to support the appraisal valuation, when coupled with documented cap rates within our markets and a physical inspection of the collateral to validate the current condition. The Company’s policy states that in the event a loan has been identified as a troubled debt restructuring, it should be assigned a grade of substandard and placed on nonaccrual status until such time the borrower has demonstrated the ability to service the loan payments based on the restructured terms – generally defined as six months of satisfactory payment history. Missed payments under the original loan terms are not considered under the new structure; however, subsequent missed payments are considered non-performance and are not considered toward the six month required term of satisfactory payment history. The Company’s loan policy states that a nonaccrual loan may be returned to accrual status when (i) none of its principal and interest is due and unpaid, and the Company expects repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest or (ii) it otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of collection. Restoration to accrual status on any given loan must be supported by a well-documented credit evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition and the prospects for full repayment, approved by the Company’s Chief Credit Officer. In the normal course of business, the Company renews loans with a modification of the interest rate or terms that are not deemed as troubled debt restructurings because the borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty. The Company modified loans in the first six months of 2016 and 2015 totaling $ 9.7 54.8 As of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the Company had a balance of $ 17.8 16.4 14.0 1.4 1.3 1.6 2.8 2.7 210,000 During the six months ending June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company modified loans as troubled debt restructurings, excluding purchased non-covered and covered loans, with principal balances of $ 2.5 782,000 June 30, 2016 June 30, 2015 Balance Balance Loan class: # (in thousands) # (in thousands) Commercial, financial & agricultural 2 $ 28 3 $ 18 Real estate – construction & development 1 6 2 16 Real estate – commercial & farmland 4 1,666 - - Real estate – residential 6 739 15 729 Consumer installment 6 26 5 19 Total 19 $ 2,465 25 $ 782 Troubled debt restructurings, excluding purchased non-covered and covered loans, with an outstanding balance of $ 494,000 2.2 June 30, 2016 June 30, 2015 Balance Balance Loan class: # (in thousands) # (in thousands) Commercial, financial & agricultural 2 $ 7 2 $ 35 Real estate – construction & development - - - - Real estate – commercial & farmland 2 191 5 1,274 Real estate – residential 6 292 10 884 Consumer installment 1 4 6 32 Total 11 $ 494 23 $ 2,225 As of June 30, 2016 Accruing Loans Non-Accruing Loans Balance Balance Loan class: # (in thousands) # (in thousands) Commercial, financial & agricultural 5 $ 275 11 $ 86 Real estate – construction & development 9 468 3 36 Real estate – commercial & farmland 19 5,802 3 1,832 Real estate – residential 54 8,226 20 899 Consumer installment 7 24 27 113 Total 94 $ 14,795 64 $ 2,966 As of December 31, 2015 Accruing Loans Non-Accruing Loans Balance Balance Loan class: # (in thousands) # (in thousands) Commercial, financial & agricultural 4 $ 240 10 $ 110 Real estate – construction & development 11 792 3 63 Real estate – commercial & farmland 16 5,766 3 596 Real estate – residential 51 7,574 20 1,123 Consumer installment 12 46 23 94 Total 94 $ 14,418 59 $ 1,986 As of June 30, 2015 Accruing Loans Non-Accruing Loans Balance Balance Loan class: # (in thousands) # (in thousands) Commercial, financial & agricultural 6 $ 278 5 $ 29 Real estate – construction & development 11 821 3 57 Real estate – commercial & farmland 17 6,617 3 598 Real estate – residential 49 4,702 15 783 Consumer installment 11 49 17 82 Total 94 $ 12,467 43 $ 1,549 As of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the Company had a balance of $ 10.0 10.0 7.0 347,000 377,000 632,000 During the six months ending June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company modified purchased non-covered loans as troubled debt restructurings, with principal balances of $ 668,000 1.0 4.8 June 30, 2016 June 30, 2015 Balance Balance Loan class: # (in thousands) # (in thousands) Commercial, financial & agricultural - $ - - $ - Real estate – construction & development - - - - Real estate – commercial & farmland 1 28 - - Real estate – residential 2 640 5 1,017 Consumer installment - - 1 5 Total 3 $ 668 6 $ 1,022 Troubled debt restructurings included in purchased non-covered loans with an outstanding balance of $ 402,000 65,000 June 30, 2016 June 30, 2015 Balance Balance Loan class: # (in thousands) # (in thousands) Commercial, financial & agricultural - $ - - $ - Real estate – construction & development 2 402 - - Real estate – commercial & farmland - - - - Real estate – residential - - 1 65 Consumer installment - - - - Total 2 $ 402 1 $ 65 As of June 30, 2016 Accruing Loans Non-Accruing Loans Balance Balance Loan class: # (in thousands) # (in thousands) Commercial, financial & agricultural 1 $ 1 1 $ 17 Real estate – construction & development 2 521 3 36 Real estate – commercial & farmland 12 5,918 3 398 Real estate – residential 14 2,609 4 448 Consumer installment 1 4 2 2 Total 30 $ 9,053 13 $ 901 As of December 31, 2015 Accruing Loans Non-Accruing Loans Balance Balance Loan class: # (in thousands) # (in thousands) Commercial, financial & agricultural 1 $ 2 2 $ 21 Real estate – construction & development 1 363 3 42 Real estate – commercial & farmland 14

The carrying values of the acquired loans and the FDIC indemnification assets reflect management’s best estimate of the fair value of each of these assets as of the date of acquisition. However, the amount that the Company realizes on these assets could differ materially from the carrying values reflected in the financial statements included in this report, based upon the timing and amount of collections on the acquired loans in future periods. Because of the loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC on these assets, the Company does not expect to incur any significant losses. To the extent the actual values realized for the acquired loans are different from the estimates, the indemnification assets will generally be affected in an offsetting manner due to the loss-sharing support from the FDIC. FASB ASC 310 – 30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality Each acquisition with loss-sharing agreements has separate agreements for the single family residential assets (“SFR”) and the non-single family assets (“NSF”). The SFR agreements cover losses and recoveries for ten years. The NSF agreements are for eight years. During the first five years, losses and recoveries are covered. During the final three years, only recoveries, net of expenses, are covered. The AUB SFR agreement was terminated during 2012 and Ameris received a payment of $ 87,000 At June 30, 2016, the Company’s FDIC loss-sharing payable totaled $1.9 million, which is comprised of $ 3.2 3.5 Covered loans Less: Fair Total OREO Less: Fair Total Total FDIC loss-share As of June 30, 2016: AUB $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 5 USB 3,423 14 3,409 - - - 3,409 (1,791) SCB 4,774 70 4,704 440 - 440 5,144 55 FBJ 4,127 507 3,620 31 - 31 3,651 (80) DBT 13,705 835 12,870 14 - 14 12,884 (3,823) TBC 1,956 8 1,948 - - - 1,948 132 HTB 42,092 3,550 38,542 586 180 406 38,948 1,789 OGB 18,663 667 17,996 136 - 136 18,132 306 CBG 40,909 2,580 38,329 1,741 26 1,715 40,044 1,510 Total $ 129,649 $ 8,231 $ 121,418 $ 2,948 $ 206 $ 2,742 $ 124,160 $ (1,897) Covered loans Less: Fair Total OREO Less: Fair Total Total FDIC loss-share As of December 31, 2015: AUB $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 111 USB 3,639 16 3,623 165 - 165 3,788 (1,424) SCB 5,228 124 5,104 - - - 5,104 149 FBJ 4,782 562 4,220 41 - 41 4,261 252 DBT 15,934 1,131 14,803 - - - 14,803 (1,084) TBC 2,159 11 2,148 - - - 2,148 1,446 HTB 44,405 3,881 40,524 2,433 643 1,790 42,314 3,875 OGB 27,561 1,900 25,661 160 - 160 25,821 913 CBG 44,865 3,419 41,446 3,139 284 2,855 44,301 2,063 Total $ 148,573 $ 11,044 $ 137,529 $ 5,938 $ 927 $ 5,011 $ 142,540 $ 6,301 Covered loans Less: Fair Total OREO Less: Fair Total Total FDIC loss-share As of June 30, 2015: AUB $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 187 USB 3,883 18 3,865 165 - 165 4,030 (1,232) SCB 5,318 209 5,109 95 - 95 5,204 1,300 FBJ 17,708 1,286 16,422 815 121 694 17,116 1,227 DBT 46,269 3,667 42,602 5,216 700 4,516 47,118 2,126 TBC 19,609 515 19,094 1,480 116 1,364 20,458 521 HTB 47,176 4,127 43,049 3,085 955 2,130 45,179 4,806 OGB 34,218 2,192 32,026 442 - 442 32,468 1,856 CBG 52,259 4,828 47,431 3,559 339 3,220 50,651 4,166 Total $ 226,440 $ 16,842 $ 209,598 $ 14,857 $ 2,231 $ 12,626 $ 222,224 $ 14,957 (Dollars in Thousands) June 30, December 31, June 30, Balance, January 1 $ 137,529 $ 271,279 $ 271,279 Charge-offs (720) (5,558) (7,065) Accretion 2,247 9,658 6,251 Transfer to covered other real estate owned (757) (7,910) (6,534) Transfer to purchased, non-covered loans due to loss-share expiration - (50,568) (15,462) Payments received (16,881) (79,372) (38,871) Ending balance $ 121,418 $ 137,529 $ 209,598 (Dollars in Thousands) June 30, December 31, June 30, Balance, January 1 $ 9,063 $ 15,578 $ 15,578 Accretion (2,247) (9,658) (6,251) Transfer to purchased, non-covered loans due to loss-share expiration - (1,665) (84) Transfers between non-accretable and accretable discounts, net (453) 4,808 2,817 Ending balance $ 6,363 $ 9,063 $ 12,060 The shared-loss agreements are subject to the servicing procedures as specified in the agreement with the FDIC.

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS	NOTE 7 – SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE The Company classifies the sales of securities under agreements to repurchase as short-term borrowings. The amounts received under these agreements are reflected as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the securities underlying these agreements are included in investment securities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, all securities sold under agreements to repurchase mature on a daily basis. The market value of the securities fluctuate on a daily basis due to market conditions. The Company monitors the market value of the securities underlying these agreements on a daily basis and is required to transfer additional securities if the market value of the securities fall below the repurchase agreement price. The Company maintains an unpledged securities portfolio that it believes is sufficient to protect against a decline in the market value of the securities sold under agreements to repurchase. (Dollars in Thousands) June 30, December 31, June 30, Securities sold under agreements to repurchase $ 37,139 $ 63,585 $ 75,066 At June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the investment securities underlying these agreements were all mortgage-backed securities.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES	NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Loan Commitments The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. (Dollars in Thousands) June 30, December 31, June 30, Commitments to extend credit $ 669,353 $ 548,898 $ 431,678 Unused lines of credit $ 63,244 $ 52,798 $ 51,834 Financial standby letters of credit $ 15,587 $ 14,712 $ 10,535 Mortgage interest rate lock commitments $ 154,589 $ 77,710 $ 91,977 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Collateral is required in instances which the Company deems necessary. Other Commitments As of June 30, 2016, a $ 75.0 Contingencies Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed. A former borrower of the Company has filed a claim related to a loan previously made by the Company asserting lender liability. The case was tried without a jury and an order was issued by the court against the Company awarding the borrower approximately $ 2.9

FAIR VALUE MEASURES

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASURES	NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE MEASURES The fair value of an asset or liability is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various assets and liabilities. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the asset or liability. The accounting standard for disclosures about fair value measures excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. The Company has elected to record mortgage loans held-for-sale at fair value in order to eliminate the complexities and inherent difficulties of achieving hedge accounting and to better align reported results with the underlying economic changes in value of the loans and related hedge instruments. This election impacts the timing and recognition of origination fees and costs, as well as servicing value, which are now recognized in earnings at the time of origination. Interest income on mortgage loans held-for-sale is recorded on an accrual basis in the consolidated statement of earnings and comprehensive income under the heading “Interest income – interest and fees on loans”. The servicing value is included in the fair value of the interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) with borrowers. The mark to market adjustments related to loans held-for-sale and the associated economic hedges are captured in mortgage banking activities. Net gains of $ 3.9 3.2 The following table summarizes the difference between the fair value and the principal balance for mortgage loans held for sale measured at fair value as of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015: June 30, December 31, June 30, (Dollars in Thousands) Aggregate fair value of mortgage loans held for sale $ 102,757 $ 111,182 $ 108,829 Aggregate unpaid principal balance $ 98,769 $ 107,652 $ 105,184 Past-due loans of 90 days or more $ - $ - $ - Nonaccrual loans $ - $ - $ - The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. From time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans and OREO. Additionally, the Company is required to disclose, but not record, the fair value of other financial instruments. Fair Value Hierarchy The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and for estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and Due From Banks, Federal Funds Sold and Interest-Bearing Accounts: The carrying amount of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing accounts approximates fair value. Investment Securities Available for Sale: The fair value of securities available for sale is determined by various valuation methodologies. Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises and municipal bonds. The Level 2 fair value pricing is provided by an independent third-party and is based upon similar securities in an active market. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include certain residual municipal securities and other less liquid securities. Other Investments: FHLB stock is included in other investments at its original cost basis. It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale: The Company records mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined on outstanding commitments from third party investors in the secondary markets and is classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Loans: The carrying amount of variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate loans is estimated based on discounted contractual cash flows, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated based on discounted contractual cash flows or underlying collateral values, where applicable. A loan is determined to be impaired if the Company believes it is probable that all principal and interest amounts due according to the terms of the note will not be collected as scheduled. The fair value of impaired loans is determined in accordance with ASC 310-10, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan Other Real Estate Owned: The fair value of other real estate owned (“OREO”) is determined using certified appraisals, internal evaluations and broker price opinions that value the property at its highest and best uses by applying traditional valuation methods common to the industry. The Company does not hold any OREO for profit purposes and all other real estate is actively marketed for sale. In most cases, management has determined that additional write-downs are required beyond what is calculable from the appraisal to carry the property at levels that would attract buyers. Because this additional write-down is not based on observable inputs, management has determined that other real estate owned should be classified as Level 3. Covered Other Real Estate Owned: Covered other real estate owned includes other real estate owned on which the majority of losses would be covered by loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC. Management initially valued these assets at fair value using mostly unobservable inputs and, as such, has classified these assets as Level 3. Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist of core deposit premiums acquired in connection with business combinations and are based on the established value of acquired customer deposits. The core deposit premium is initially recognized based on a valuation performed as of the consummation date and is amortized over an estimated useful life of three to ten years. FDIC Loss-Share Receivable: Because the FDIC will reimburse the Company for certain acquired loans should the Company experience a loss, an indemnification asset is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. The indemnification asset is recognized at the same time as the indemnified loans, and measured on the same basis, subject to collectability or contractual limitations. The shared loss agreements on the acquisition date reflect the reimbursements expected to be received from the FDIC, using an appropriate discount rate, which reflects counterparty credit risk and other uncertainties. The shared loss agreements continue to be measured on the same basis as the related indemnified loans, and the loss-share receivable is impacted by changes in estimated cash flows associated with these loans. Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates fair value. Cash Value of Bank Owned Life Insurance: The carrying value of cash value of bank owned life insurance approximates fair value. Deposits: The carrying amount of demand deposits, savings deposits and variable-rate certificates of deposit approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposit is estimated based on discounted contractual cash flows using interest rates currently offered for certificates with similar maturities. Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase and Other Borrowings: The carrying amount of variable rate borrowings and securities sold under repurchase agreements approximates fair value and are classified as Level 1. The fair value of fixed rate other borrowings is estimated based on discounted contractual cash flows using the current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements and are classified as Level 2. Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures: The fair value of the Company’s variable rate trust preferred securities is based primarily upon discounted cash flows using rates for securities with similar terms and remaining maturities and are classified as Level 2. Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments: Because commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are typically made using variable rates and have short maturities, the carrying value and fair value are immaterial for disclosure. Derivatives: The Company has entered into derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair value of the derivatives is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves derived from observable market interest rate curves). The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting any applicable credit enhancements such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself or the counterparty. However, as of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustment is not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall as of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands): Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis Fair Value Quoted Prices Significant Significant U.S. government agencies $ 6,037 $ - $ 6,037 $ - State, county and municipal securities 158,386 - 158,386 - Corporate debt securities 20,303 - 18,803 1,500 Mortgage-backed securities 658,920 - 658,920 - Mortgage loans held for sale 102,757 - 102,757 - Mortgage banking derivative instruments 5,752 - 5,752 - Total recurring assets at fair value $ 952,155 $ - $ 950,655 $ 1,500 Derivative financial instruments $ 3,535 - $ 3,535 - Mortgage banking derivative instruments $ 1,614 - 1,614 - Total recurring liabilities at fair value $ 5,149 $ - $ 5,149 $ - Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis Fair Value Quoted Prices Significant Significant U.S. government agencies $ 14,890 $ - $ 14,890 $ - State, county and municipal securities 161,316 - 161,316 - Corporate debt securities 6,017 - 3,019 2,998 Mortgage-backed securities 600,962 - 600,962 - Mortgage loans held for sale 111,182 - 111,182 - Mortgage banking derivative instruments 2,687 - 2,687 - Total recurring assets at fair value $ 897,054 $ - $ 894,056 $ 2,998 Derivative financial instruments $ 1,439 $ - $ 1,439 $ - Mortgage banking derivative instruments 137 - 137 - Total recurring liabilities at fair value $ 1,576 $ - $ 1,576 $ - Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis Fair Value Quoted Prices Significant Significant U.S. government agencies $ 14,746 $ - $ 14,746 $ - State, county and municipal securities 167,372 - 167,372 - Corporate debt securities 12,836 - 10,336 2,500 Mortgage-backed securities 667,200 - 667,200 - Mortgage loans held for sale 108,829 - 108,829 - Mortgage banking derivative instruments 3,775 - 3,775 - Total recurring assets at fair value $ 974,758 $ - $ 972,258 $ 2,500 Derivative financial instruments $ 1,306 $ - $ 1,306 $ - Total recurring liabilities at fair value $ 1,306 $ - $ 1,306 $ - Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis Fair Quoted Prices Significant Significant Impaired loans carried at fair value $ 26,574 $ - $ - $ 26,574 Other real estate owned 1,017 - - 1,017 Purchased, non-covered other real estate owned 13,928 - - 13,928 Covered other real estate owned 2,742 - - 2,742 Total nonrecurring assets at fair value $ 44,261 $ - $ - $ 44,261 Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis Fair Quoted Prices Significant Significant Impaired loans carried at fair value $ 27,069 $ - $ - $ 27,069 Other real estate owned 10,456 - - 10,456 Purchased, non-covered other real estate owned 14,333 - - 14,333 Covered other real estate owned 5,011 - - 5,011 Total nonrecurring assets at fair value $ 56,869 $ - $ - $ 56,869 Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis Fair Quoted Prices Significant Significant Impaired loans carried at fair value $ 29,228 $ - $ - $ 29,228 Other real estate owned 11,069 - - 11,069 Purchased, non-covered other real estate owned 13,112 - - 13,112 Covered other real estate owned 12,626 - - 12,626 Total nonrecurring assets at fair value $ 66,035 $ - $ - $ 66,035 The inputs used to determine estimated fair value of impaired loans and covered loans include market conditions, loan terms, underlying collateral characteristics and discount rates.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The new standard will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, which include, but are not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments and financial guarantees. ASU 2016-13 simplifies the accounting for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-09 – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ASU 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842) ASU 2015-16 – Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments ASU 2015-03 – Interest – Imputation of Interest ASU 2015-03 . It should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s ASU 2015-02 “ Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . ASU 2015-01- Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items eliminates the concept of extraordinary items by no longer allowing companies to segregate an extraordinary item from the results of operations, separately present an extraordinary item on the income statement, or disclose income taxes or earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. ASU 2015-01 . The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.
