Other borrowings on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at September 30, 2012 and 2011 included $0 and $800,000,000, respectively, of reverse repurchase agreements presented in the table above. The Bank has historically entered into sales of reverse repurchase agreements. Fixed-coupon reverse repurchase agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability in the consolidated statements of financial condition. During the three years ended September 30, 2012, all of the Company’s transactions were fixed-coupon reverse repurchase agreements. The dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements remain in the asset accounts. The securities pledged are registered in the Company’s name, and principal and interest payments are received by the Company; however, the securities are held by the designated trustee of the broker. Upon maturity of the agreements, the identical securities pledged as collateral will be returned to the Company. Financial data pertaining to the weighted-average cost and the amount of securities sold under agreements to repurchase were as follows:
