Federal Home Loan Bank Advances [Abstract]
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances	Note 7- Federal Home Loan Bank Advances Long-term borrowings of $5.0 million and a maturity date of August 14, 2012, at both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 consisted of borrowings from the FHLBC having an original maturity of greater than one year. All of the borrowings are fixed-rate borrowings collateralized by municipal securities and loans. CIB Marine is required to maintain qualifying collateral as security for both short-term and long-term FHLBC borrowings. CIBM Bank had assets pledged at the FHLBC sufficient to support total borrowings of $42.1 million and $8.5 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. These assets consisted of securities with a fair value of $2.9 million and $9.4 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and loans of $39.5 million at March 31, 2012. During 2012, CIBM Bank received an upgrade from the FHLBC allowing the use of a blanket lien for qualifying loan assets which increased CIBM Bank’s availability of borrowing credit with the agency. As a result, additional potential borrowings available at the FHLBC at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $37.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
