Servicing Asset [Abstract]  
Servicing Assets Servicing Assets
The Company recognizes the rights to service SBA loans for others as servicing assets when the benefit of servicing is expected to more than adequately compensate the Company for performing the servicing. Servicing assets are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company serviced SBA loans for others with principal balances of $697.4 million and $682.9 million, respectively.
The Company periodically stratifies its servicing assets into groupings based on risk characteristics and evaluates each group for impairment based on the fair value. Based on the impairment test as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no impairment.
The following table presents the activity in the servicing assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:
