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 and Federal Reserve Bank borrowings, among other purposes. We had pledged investment securities of $10.2 billion and $2.8 billion at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. In addition, the Company had $44.6 billion of loans pledged between the FHLB-NY and Federal Reserve Bank to serve as collateral for its wholesale borrowings as of December 31, 2024, compared to $43.1 billion of loans pledged at December 31, 2023. Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit In the normal course of business, we have various commitments outstanding to extend credit in the form of mortgage and other loan originations, as well as commercial, performance stand-by and financial stand-by letters of credit, which are not included on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The following table summarizes the Company’s off-balance sheet commitments to originate loans and letters of credit:
| December 31,
(in millions) | 2024 |  | 2023
Multi-family and commercial real estate | $ | 29 |  |  | $ | 52 |
One-to-four family including interest rate locks | 725 |  |  | 1,694 |
Acquisition, development, and construction | 2,449 |  |  | 3,926 |
Warehouse loan commitments | — |  |  | 7,074 |
Other loan commitments | 9,837 |  |  | 11,315 |
Total loan commitments | $ | 13,040 |  |  | $ | 24,061 |
Commercial, performance stand-by, and financial stand-by letters of credit | 803 |  |  | 915 |
Total commitments | $ | 13,843 |  |  | $ | 24,976 |
These commitments consist of agreements to extend credit as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract under which the loan is made. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. The fees we collect in connection with the issuance of letters of credit are included in Fee income in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Our exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The contractual amount of standby letters of credit represents the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make and represents the Company’s maximum credit risk. We utilize the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for balance sheet instruments. At December 31, 2024, 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. The outcome of pending or threatened litigation, or of investigations or any other matters before regulatory agencies is uncertain, whether currently existing or commencing in the future, including with respect to any litigation, investigation or other regulatory actions related to (i) the business and disclosure practices of acquired companies, including our acquisition of Flagstar Bancorp and the purchase and assumption of certain assets and liabilities of Signature, (ii) the capital raise transaction we completed in March of 2024, (iii) the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting disclosed in our 2023 10-K/A and our current 10-K, (iv) past cyber security breaches, and (v) recent events and circumstances involving the Company, including our Q4 2023 earnings announcement, disclosures regarding credit losses, the credit loss provision and the 2023 goodwill impairment. 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, or as a result of its involvement in such investigations or regulatory proceedings, 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.
