Deposits from principal officers, directors, and affiliates at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $15.9 million and $112.7 million, respectively.  The majority of the deposit balances for each year are associated with institutional accounts of affiliated organizations and were at market rates.
 
During 2015, the Bank entered into a back-to-back swap agreement (see Note 1 – Derivatives) with a company affiliated with one of the Company’s directors.  Terms were at market rates and the total notional amount of the agreement was $14.0 million and $15.0 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
 
During 2019, the Bank engaged a company affiliated with one of the Company’s directors for the reconfiguration of a portion of the corporate office building.  Total expenses related to this reconfiguration were not significant to the director’s company and terms were at market rates and were negotiated at arms’ length.
