Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Pledged Assets The Company pledges securities to serve as collateral for its repurchase agreements, among other purposes. We had pledged investment securities of $2.8 billion and $434 million at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company had $43.1 billion and $44.5 billion of loans pledged to the FHLB-NY to serve as collateral for its wholesale borrowings at the respective year-ends. Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit In the normal course of business, we have various commitments outstanding which are not included on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The majority of the outstanding loan commitments were expected to close within 90 days. The following table summarizes the Company’s off-balance sheet commitments to originate loans and letters of credit:
| December 31,
(in millions) | 2023 |  | 2022
Multi-family and commercial real estate | $ | 52 |  |  | $ | 216 |

Acquisition, development, and construction | 3,926 |  |  | 3,539 |
Warehouse loan commitments | 7,074 |  |  | 8,042 |
Other loan commitments | 11,315 |  |  | 7,964 |
Total loan commitments | $ | 24,061 |  |  | $ | 21,827 |

Total commitments | $ | 24,976 |  |  | $ | 22,368 |
Financial Guarantees The Company provides guarantees and indemnifications to its customers to enable them to complete a variety of business transactions and to enhance their credit standings. These guarantees are recorded at their respective fair values in “Other liabilities” in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. The Company deems the fair value of the guarantees to equal the consideration received. The following table summarizes the Company’s guarantees and indemnifications at December 31, 2023:
(in millions) | Expires Within One Year |  | Expires After One Year |  | Total Outstanding Amount |  | Maximum Potential Amount of Future Payments
Financial stand-by letters of credit | $ | 254 |  |  | $ | 288 |  |  | $ | 542 |  |  | $ | 639 |
Performance stand-by letters of credit | 100 |  |  | 2 |  |  | 102 |  |  | 102 |
Commercial letters of credit | 3 |  |  | — |  |  | 3 |  |  | 174 |
Total letters of credit | $ | 357 |  |  | $ | 290 |  |  | $ | 647 |  |  | $ | 915 |
The maximum potential amount of future payments represents the notional amounts that could be funded under the guarantees and indemnifications if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties or if indemnification provisions were triggered, as applicable, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. The Company collects fees upon the issuance of commercial and stand-by letters of credit. Stand-by letters of credit fees are initially recorded by the Company as a liability and are recognized as income periodically through the respective expiration dates. Fees for commercial letters of credit are collected and recognized as income at the time that they are issued and upon payment of each set of documents presented. In addition, the Company requires adequate collateral, typically in the form of cash, real property, and/or personal guarantees upon its issuance of irrevocable stand-by letters of credit. Commercial letters of credit are primarily secured by the goods being purchased in the underlying transaction and are also personally guaranteed by the owner(s) of the applicant company. At December 31, 2023, the Company had no commitments to purchase securities. Legal Proceedings The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business, including stockholder class and derivative actions. All such actions in the aggregate involve amounts that are believed by management to be immaterial to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The outcome of any pending litigation is uncertain. There can be no assurance (i) that we will not incur material losses due to damages, penalties, costs and/or expenses as a result of such litigation, (ii) that the reserves we have established will be sufficient to cover such losses, or (iii) that such losses will not materially exceed such reserves and have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The Company may incur significant legal expenses in defending the litigation described above during the pendency of these matters, and in connection with any other potential cases, including expenses for the potential reimbursement of legal fees of officers and directors under indemnification obligations.
