Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $131.3 million, an increase of $8.6 million compared to $122.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, and an increase of $15.0 million compared to $116.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The increases in net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2015 were due to higher average balances of loans and investment securities and higher yields on investment securities, partially offset by higher average deposit balances. Net interest income for the full year 2016 was $491.7 million compared to $461.3 million for 2015. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to higher average balances of loans and higher yields on investment securities, partially offset by lower yields on loans, lower average balances of investment securities and higher average deposit balances.
Net interest margin was 2.99%, 2.87% and 2.71%, respectively, for the quarters ended December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015. The 12 basis point increase compared to the third quarter of 2016 was due to higher investment portfolio yields, lower premium amortization, and higher loan prepayments, slightly offset by lower loan yields. The 28 basis point increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 was due to overall higher earning asset yields. The net interest margin for the full year of 2016 was 2.88%, compared to 2.78% for 2015. The 10 basis point increase in net interest margin was primarily due to higher yields on investments and interest-bearing deposits in other banks, partially offset by lower yields on loans.
Results for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 included a provision for credit losses of $3.9 million compared to $2.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and $2.5 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

The $6.2 million higher noninterest income in 2016 compared to 2015 was due to higher securities gains of $15.0 million and higher BOLI income of $5.0 million, primarily offset by lower service charges and fee income of $6.0 million and higher miscellaneous other income of $7.2 million in 2015.
Noninterest expense was $82.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $0.3 million from $82.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2016, and an increase of $2.2 million from $80.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The slight decrease in noninterest expense compared to the third quarter of 2016 was due to $1.6 million lower salaries and employee benefits expense and $1.7 million lower other expense, largely offset by $1.8 million higher contracted services and professional fees, $0.6 million more in equipment costs and $0.6 million higher regulatory fees. Salaries and employee benefits expense in the third quarter of 2016 included $1.9 million of expenses related to shares granted in connection with our initial public offering. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in occupancy expenses, a $1.8 million increase in contracted services and professional fees, $1.7 million higher regulatory assessment and fees, partially offset by $2.8 million lower salaries and employee benefits and $1.0 million lower cards rewards expenses. Noninterest expense for full year 2016 was $328.8 million compared to $319.6 million in 2015, an increase of $9.2 million, primarily due to $3.5 million higher regulatory assessment and fees, $3.1 million in higher occupancy expenses, and $2.7 million in higher contract services.
