Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 2,115 and 2,290 securities, respectively, with market values below their cost basis. The total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1.8 billion and $2.1 billion, which is approximately 86% and 85%, respectively, of the Company's available for sale and held to maturity securities portfolio. These declines resulted primarily from fluctuations in market interest rates after purchase. Management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.
No allowance for credit losses for available for sale debt securities was needed at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The allowance for credit losses for held to maturity securities is a contra asset valuation account that is deducted from the carrying amount of held to maturity securities to present the net amount expected to be collected. Held to maturity securities are charged off against the allowance for credit loss when deemed uncollectible. Adjustments to the allowance for credit loss are reported in our Consolidated Statements of Income in credit loss expense. We measure expected credit losses on held to maturity securities on a collective basis by major security type with each type sharing similar risk characteristics, and considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. With regard to U.S. Government–sponsored treasuries, agency and mortgage–backed securities, all these securities are issued by a U.S. government–sponsored entity and have an implicit or explicit government guarantee; therefore, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded for these securities. With regard to obligations of states and municipal, private label mortgage–backed and corporate note held to maturity securities, we consider (1) issuer bond ratings, (2) historical loss rates for given bond ratings, (3) the financial condition of the issuer, and (4) whether issuers continue to make timely principal and
interest payments under the contractual terms of the securities. Historical loss rates associated with securities having similar grades as those in our portfolio have been insignificant. As of December 31, 2024, there were no past due principal and interest payments associated with these securities. An allowance for credit loss of $158 thousand and $157 thousand was recorded on these securities based on applying the long–term historical rating agency credit loss rate for similarly rated securities at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
On a quarterly basis, the Company refreshes the credit quality indicator of each held-to-maturity security. The Company applies ratings derived from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations ("NRSRO"), specifically Moody's and Standard & Poor's. For state and municipal securities where no rating is available from the NRSROs, a consistent internally-assigned rating methodology is applied. The amortized cost of these securities in the following tables subject to this methodology totaled $125.0 million as of December 31, 2024, and $143.7 million as of December 31, 2023.
The following table summarizes credit ratings of our held-to-maturity securities at amortized cost for the periods indicated:

Accrued interest receivable on available for sale debt securities and held to maturity securities totaled $12.7 million and $14.7 million at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
The U.S. government sponsored entities and agencies and mortgage–backed securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major credit rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses. Therefore, for those securities, we do not record expected credit losses.
Based on an evaluation of available evidence, management believes the unrealized losses on available for sale state and municipal securities, private labeled mortgage–backed pools and corporate notes were due to changes in interest rates. Due to the contractual terms, the issuers of state and municipal securities are not allowed to settle for less than the amortized cost of the security. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell these securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost, which may not occur until maturity. No allowance for credit losses was recognized for available for sale debt securities at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
