In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, cash flows and results of operations at the dates and for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year or for any other period.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for loan losses, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and related valuation allowance, valuation of other real estate and core deposit intangibles. |

| New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Summary of Recent Accounting Pronouncements :Bancorp 34 is an emerging growth company and has elected to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. The Company expects to lose its status as an emerging growth company on August 29, 2019, five years after the completion of the acquisition of Bank 1440. Revenue Recognition - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014 - 09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ) .”2014 -09 implements a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede substantially all existing revenue recognition guidance. The new standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2015 - 4 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date” deferred the effective date of ASU 2014 -09 by one year. The Company’s revenue is comprised of net interest income on financial assets and financial liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2014 -09, and non-interest income. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2014 -09 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. We plan to adopt the revenue recognition guidance in the first quarter of 2019 with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings, if management deems such adjustment significant. Our implementation efforts to date include identification of revenue streams within the scope of the guidance.Financial Instruments – In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016 -01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825 -10 ). The amendment has a number of provisions including the requirements that public business entities use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, a separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e. securities or loans receivables), and eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The amendment is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.Leases – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016 - 02 “Leases (Topic 842 ).” This standard requires entities that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020 . The guidance is required to be applied by the modified retrospective transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this authoritative guidance on our consolidated financial statements.Credit Losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016 - 13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326 ): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to create credit loss estimates. The new guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020 . The guidance is required to be applied by the modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this authoritative guidance on our consolidated financial statements.Premium on Callable Debt - In March 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017 - 08, “Receivables–Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310 - 20 )” to shorten the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. Currently, entities generally amortize the premium as a yield adjustment over the contractual life of the security. The guidance does not change the accounting for callable debt securities held at a discount. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. ASU 2017 -08 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.Share-Based Payment Modification - In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017 - 09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Subtopic 718 ): Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017 -09 clarifies when changes to terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Under the new guidance, an entity will not apply modification accounting to a share-based payment award if all of the following are the same immediately before and after the change: (i) the fair value of the award, (ii) the vesting conditions of the award, and (iii) the classification of the award as either an equity or liability instrument. ASU 2017 -09 was effective for the Company in the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The guidance requires companies to apply the requirements prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2017 -09 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.Reporting Tax Effects of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act - In February 2018, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2018 - 02, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220 ): Reclas sification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” that helps organizations address certain stranded income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") resulting from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The ASU provides financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within AOCI to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. The ASU requires financial statement preparers to disclose a description of the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from AOCI, whether they elect to reclassify the stranded income tax effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and information about the other income tax effects that are reclassified. The amendments are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Organizations should apply the proposed amendments either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. ASU 2018 -02 is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
