Note 2: Cash and Due from Banks

 

The Bank is required to maintain reserve balances with the Reserve Bank.  In accordance with the Reserve Bank requirements, the average reserve balances were $10.7 million and $16.0 million, for the years ended December 31, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

 

The nature of the Company’s business requires that it maintain amounts with other banks and federal funds which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  Management monitors these correspondent relationships, and the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.  In 2014, the Bank also had a $4.4 million pledge requirement, met with cash, to a correspondent bank as it relates to credit card processing services and there was no such requirement in 2015.
