RESALE AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS [Abstract] |
Securities Purchased under Resale Agreements and Sold under Repurchase Agreements | Securities Purchased under Resale Agreements and Sold under Repurchase Agreements Resale Agreements Resale agreements are recorded as receivables for the cash paid based on the values at which the securities are acquired. The market values of the underlying securities collateralizing the related receivables of the resale agreements, including accrued interest, are monitored. Additional collateral may be requested by the Company from the counterparties or excess collateral may be returned by the Company to the counterparties when deemed appropriate. Gross resale agreements were $1.26 billion and $1.44 billion as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The weighted-average yields were 2.57% and 2.63% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 2.69% and 2.59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Repurchase Agreements Long-term repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and recorded as liabilities based on the values at which the securities are sold. As of September 30, 2019, the collateral for the repurchase agreements was comprised of U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government agency and U.S. government sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities. The Company may have to provide additional collateral to the counterparties, or the counterparties may return excess collateral to the Company, for the repurchase agreements when deemed appropriate. Gross repurchase agreements were $450.0 million as of both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The weighted-average interest rates were 4.68% and 4.65% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 4.87% and 4.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following table presents the gross repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2019 that will mature in the next five years and thereafter:

Balance Sheet Offsetting The Company’s resale and repurchase agreements are transacted under legally enforceable master repurchase agreements that provide the Company, in the event of default by the counterparty, the right to liquidate securities held and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty. The Company nets resale and repurchase transactions with the same counterparty on the Consolidated Balance Sheet when it has a legally enforceable master netting agreement and the transactions are eligible for netting under ASC 210-20-45-11, Balance Sheet Offsetting: Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Collateral received includes securities that are not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Collateral pledged consists of securities that are not netted on the Consolidated Balance Sheet against the related collateralized liability. Collateral received or pledged in resale and repurchase agreements with other financial institutions may also be sold or re-pledged by the secured party, but is usually delivered to and held by the third-party trustees. The collateral amounts received/pledged are limited for presentation purposes to the related recognized asset/liability balance for each counterparty, and accordingly, do not include excess collateral received/pledged. The following tables present the resale and repurchase agreements included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
