Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Schedule of Derivative Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value

The following table summarizes the notional amounts and fair values of our derivative instruments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, which are segregated by derivatives that are designated as accounting hedges and those that are not, and are further segregated by type of contract within those two categories. The total derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and any associated cash collateral received or pledged. Derivative assets and liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets, and their related gains or losses are included in operating activities as changes in other assets and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

In the second quarter of 2020, we terminated all last of layer hedging relationships with cumulative basis adjustments related to these discontinued hedging relationships totaling $200 million as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the amortized cost basis of this portfolio was $5.9 billion, the amount of the designated hedged items was $3.1 billion, and the cumulative basis adjustment associated with these hedges was $75 million.

(2)Carrying value represents amortized cost.

Offsetting Assets

The following table presents the gross and net fair values of our derivative assets, derivative liabilities, resale and repurchase agreements and the related offsetting amounts permitted under U.S. GAAP as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

(1)Includes amortization expense of $12 million, $171 million and $75 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 respectively, related to basis adjustments on discontinued hedges.

(2)Changes in fair values of cross-currency swaps attributable to changes in cross-currency basis spreads are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and recorded in other comprehensive income. The initial value of the excluded component is recognized in earnings over the life of the swap under the amortization approach.

(3)See “Note 10—Stockholders’ Equity” for the effects of cash flow and net investment hedges on AOCI and amounts reclassified to net income, net of tax.

(4)We recognized a loss of $57 million and $341 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and a gain of $191 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, on foreign exchange contracts reclassified from AOCI. These amounts were largely offset by the foreign currency transaction gains (losses) on our foreign currency denominated intercompany funding included other non-interest income.
