Commercial loans held for sale consists predominately of commercial loans to mortgage companies (i.e., mortgage warehouse loans). These mortgage warehouse lending transactions are subject to master repurchase agreements and are designated as held for sale and reported at fair value based on an election made to account for the loans at fair value. Pursuant to the agreements, Customers funds the pipelines for these mortgage lenders by sending payments directly to the closing agents for funded loans (i.e., the purchase event) and receives proceeds directly from third party investors when the loans are sold into the secondary market (i.e., the sale event). The fair value of the mortgage warehouse loans is estimated as the amount of cash initially advanced to fund the mortgage, plus accrued interest and fees, as specified in the respective agreements. The interest rates on these loans are variable, and the lending transactions are short-term, with an average life of 20 days from purchase to sale. The primary goal of these lending transactions is to provide liquidity to mortgage companies. Effective March 31, 2018, Customers Bank transferred $129.7 million of multi-family loans from loans held for sale to loan receivable (held for investment) because the Bank no longer has the intent to sell these loans. Customers Bank transferred these loans at their carrying value, which approximated their fair value at the time of transfer. On June 30, 2017, Customers Bank transferred $150.6 million of multi-family loans from held for investment to loans held for sale. Customers Bank transferred these loans at their carrying value, which was lower than the estimated fair value at the time of transfer. At December 31, 2017, the carrying value of these loans approximated their fair value. Accordingly, a lower of cost or fair value adjustment was not recorded as of December 31, 2017.
