Federal Home Loan Bank Advances - As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $90,000,000 in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of San Francisco long-term advances outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 0.86%. The advances were acquired and recorded at fair value through the merger with Community West Bancshares on April 1, 2024 and mature in two tranches: $45,000,000 matures in April 2025 and $45,000,000 matures in June 2025. As of December 31, 2024, the remaining discount on the acquired FHLB advances was $1,558,000. In addition, the Company had a short-term advance of $45,000,000 outstanding as of December 31, 2024 with an interest rate of 4.52% and maturity in August 2025. At December 31, 2023, the Company had an overnight borrowing advance with the FHLB for $35,000,000 with an interest rate of 5.70%.

Approximately $1.1 billion in loans were pledged under a blanket lien as collateral to the FHLB for the Company’s remaining borrowing capacity of $576.6 million as of December 31, 2024. FHLB advances are also secured by investment securities with amortized costs totaling $153.1 million and fair values totaling $193.4 million at December 31, 2024.  The Company’s credit limit varies according to the amount and composition of the investment and loan portfolios pledged as collateral.

Lines of Credit - The Company had unsecured lines of credit with its correspondent banks which, in the aggregate, amounted to $110 million and $110 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, at interest rates which vary with market conditions. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no advances with correspondent banks.

Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Line of Credit and Bank Term Funding Program - The Company has a line of credit in the amount of $3,669,000 and $4,448,000 with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRB) at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which bears interest at the prevailing discount rate collateralized by investment securities with amortized costs totaling $4,406,000 and $4,894,000 and market values totaling $3,828,000 and $4,374,000, respectively. 

The Company participated in the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) which offered loans of up to one year in length to banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other eligible depository institutions pledging any collateral eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve Banks in open market operations such as U.S. Treasuries, U.S. agency securities, and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities. These assets were valued at par. The BTFP was an additional source of liquidity against high-quality securities during the liquidity crisis of 2023.

The Bank had no borrowings with the FRB as of December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $45,000,000 outstanding as a short-term loan with the FRB under the BTFP at an interest rate of 4.81%. The Bank fully repaid the short-term borrowing in August 2024 and replaced it with a short-term FHLB advance of $45,000,000, as noted above.
