[1] Effective in the third quarter of 2024, the
 
Corporation reclassified certain interchange fees, which
 
were previously included jointly with credit card
fees from common network activity,
 
as debit card fees. For the year ended December 31, 2024,
 
these interchange fees were approximately $
45.5
million, which include approximately $
22.2
 
million corresponding to the first and second quarters
 
of 2024 which were reclassified. For the year
ended December 31, 2023, interchange fees of approximately
 
$
45.3
 
million were reclassified.
[2] The amounts include intersegment transactions of $
2.4
 
million, $
4.5
 
million and $
5
.0 million, respectively, for the
 
years ended December 31,
2025, 2024 and 2023.
Revenue from contracts with
 
customers is recognized when,
 
or as, the performance
 
obligations are satisfied by
 
the Corporation by
transferring the
 
promised services
 
to
 
the customers.
 
A
 
service is
 
transferred to
 
the customer
 
when, or
 
as, the
 
customer obtains
control
 
of
 
that
 
service.
 
A
 
performance obligation
 
may
 
be
 
satisfied over
 
time
 
or
 
at
 
a
 
point
 
in
 
time.
 
Revenue from
 
a
 
performance
obligation satisfied
 
over time
 
is recognized
 
based on
 
the services
 
that have
 
been rendered
 
to date.
 
Revenue from
 
a performance
obligation satisfied at a point in time
 
is recognized when the customer obtains control over the
 
service. The transaction price, or the
amount of revenue
 
recognized, reflects the
 
consideration the Corporation expects
 
to be entitled
 
to in exchange
 
for those promised
services. In determining the transaction price, the Corporation considers the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration
is included
 
in the
 
transaction price
 
only to
 
the extent
 
it is
 
probable that a
 
significant reversal
 
in the
 
amount of
 
cumulative revenue
recognized will
 
not occur.
 
The Corporation
 
is the
 
principal in
 
a transaction
 
if it
 
obtains control
 
of the
 
specified goods
 
or services
before they
 
are transferred
 
to
 
the customer.
 
If the
 
Corporation acts
 
as principal,
 
revenues are
 
presented in
 
the gross
 
amount
 
of
consideration to which it expects to
 
be entitled and are not
 
netted with any related expenses. On the
 
other hand, the Corporation is
an agent if it does not control
 
the specified goods or services before they are transferred
 
to the customer. If
 
the Corporation acts as
an agent, revenues are presented in the amount
 
of consideration to which it expects to be entitled,
 
net of related expenses.
Following is a description of the nature and timing
 
of revenue streams from contracts with customers:
Service charges on deposit accounts
Service
 
charges
 
on
 
deposit
 
accounts
 
are
 
earned
 
on
 
retail
 
and
 
commercial
 
deposit
 
activities
 
and
 
include,
 
but
 
are
 
not
 
limited
 
to,
nonsufficient fund
 
fees, overdraft
 
fees and
 
checks stop
 
payment fees.
 
These transaction-based
 
fees are
 
recognized at
 
a point
 
in
time,
 
upon
 
occurrence
 
of
 
an
 
activity
 
or
 
event
 
or
 
upon
 
the
 
occurrence
 
of
 
a
 
condition
 
which
 
triggers
 
the
 
fee
 
assessment.
 
The
Corporation is acting as principal in these transactions.
Debit card fees
Debit card fees include, but are not limited to, interchange
 
fees, surcharging income and foreign transaction
 
fees. These transaction-
based fees
 
are recognized at
 
a point in
 
time, upon
 
occurrence of an
 
activity or
 
event or upon
 
the occurrence of
 
a condition which
triggers
 
the
 
fee
 
assessment.
 
Interchange
 
fees
 
are
 
recognized
 
upon
 
settlement
 
of
 
the
 
debit
 
card
 
payment
 
transactions.
 
The
Corporation is acting as principal in these transactions.
Insurance fees
Insurance fees
 
include, but
 
are
 
not limited
 
to, commissions
 
and contingent
 
commissions. Commissions
 
and fees
 
are
 
recognized
when related
 
policies are effective
 
since the Corporation
 
does not
 
have an enforceable
 
right to
 
payment for services
 
completed to
date.
 
An
 
allowance
 
is
 
created
 
for
 
expected
 
adjustments
 
to
 
commissions
 
earned
 
related
 
to
 
policy
 
cancellations.
 
Contingent
commissions
 
are
 
recorded
 
on
 
an
 
accrual
 
basis
 
when
 
the
 
amount
 
to
 
be
 
received
 
is
 
notified
 
by
 
the
 
insurance
 
company.
 
The
Corporation is acting
 
as an
 
agent since it
 
arranges for the
 
sale of
 
the policies and
 
receives commissions if,
 
and when, it
 
achieves
the sale.
 
Credit card fees
Credit card
 
fees include,
 
but are
 
not limited
 
to, interchange
 
fees, additional
 
card fees,
 
cash advance
 
fees, balance
 
transfer fees,
foreign transaction fees, and returned payments
 
fees. Credit card fees are
 
recognized at a point in
 
time, upon the occurrence of
 
an
activity or
 
an event.
 
Interchange fees
 
are recognized
 
upon settlement
 
of the
 
credit card
 
payment transactions. The
 
Corporation is
acting as principal in these transactions.
Sale and administration of investment products
Fees from
 
the sale
 
and administration
 
of investment
 
products include,
 
but are
 
not limited
 
to, commission
 
income from
 
the sale
 
of
investment products, asset management fees, underwriting
 
fees, and mutual fund fees.
 
Commission income from investment products is recognized on the trade date since clearing, trade execution, and custody services
are satisfied when
 
the customer acquires
 
or disposes of
 
the rights to
 
obtain the economic
 
benefits of the
 
investment products and
brokerage contracts have no fixed duration and
 
are terminable at will by
 
either party. The
 
Corporation is acting as principal in these
transactions since it
 
performs the service
 
of providing the
 
customer with the
 
ability to acquire
 
or dispose of
 
the rights to
 
obtain the
economic benefits of investment products.
 
Asset
 
management
 
fees
 
are
 
satisfied
 
over
 
time
 
and
 
are
 
recognized
 
in
 
arrears.
 
At
 
contract
 
inception,
 
the
 
estimate
 
of
 
the
 
asset
management fee
 
is constrained
 
from the
 
inclusion in
 
the transaction
 
price since
 
the promised
 
consideration is
 
dependent on
 
the
market and thus
 
is highly susceptible
 
to factors
 
outside the manager’s
 
influence. As advisor,
 
the broker-dealer subsidiary
 
is acting
as principal.
Underwriting fees are
 
recognized at a point
 
in time, when
 
the investment products
 
are sold in
 
the open market at
 
a markup. When
the broker-dealer subsidiary is lead
 
underwriter, it is
 
acting as an agent. In
 
turn, when it is
 
a participating underwriter, it
 
is acting as
principal.
Mutual fund fees,
 
such as distribution fees,
 
are considered variable consideration
 
and are recognized over
 
time, as the
 
uncertainty
of the fees to be
 
received is resolved as NAV
 
is determined and investor activity occurs. The
 
promise to provide distribution-related
services
 
is
 
considered
 
a
 
single
 
performance
 
obligation
 
as
 
it
 
requires
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
a
 
series
 
of
 
distinct
 
services
 
that
 
are
substantially the same and have the same pattern of
 
transfer. When the broker-dealer subsidiary is acting as a distributor, it is acting
as principal. In turn, when it acts as third-party dealer, it is acting
 
as an agent.
Trust fees
Trust fees
 
are recognized from
 
retirement plan, mutual fund
 
administration, investment management, trustee,
 
escrow, and
 
custody
and
 
safekeeping services.
 
These
 
asset
 
management services
 
are
 
considered
 
a
 
single
 
performance obligation
 
as
 
it
 
requires the
provision of
 
a series
 
of distinct
 
services that
 
are substantially
 
the same
 
and have
 
the same
 
pattern of
 
transfer.
 
The performance
obligation
 
is
 
satisfied
 
over
 
time,
 
except
 
for
 
optional
 
services
 
and
 
certain
 
other
 
services
 
that
 
are
 
satisfied
 
at
 
a
 
point
 
in
 
time.
 
Revenues are recognized in
 
arrears, when, or as,
 
the services are rendered.
 
The Corporation is acting
 
as principal since,
 
as asset
manager, it has the obligation to provide the specified service to the customer and
 
has the ultimate discretion in establishing the fee
paid by the customer for the specified services.

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
