| Concentration Risk Disclosure [Text Block] | 16 . Concentration of Credit Risk The Company’s bank subsidiaries actively engage in lending, primarily in their home counties around Central and Northern Kentucky and adjacent areas. Collateral is received to support these loans as deemed necessary. The more significant categories of collateral include cash on deposit with the Company’s banks, marketable securities, income producing properties, commercial real estate, home mortgages, and consumer durables. Loans outstanding, commitments to make loans, and letters of credit range across a large number of industries and individuals. The obligations are significantly diverse and reflect no material concentration in one or more areas, other than most of the Company’s loans are in Kentucky and secured by real estate and thus significantly affected by changes in the Kentucky economy. |
