FHLB advances are secured under a blanket collateral agreement. At September 30, 2023, the carrying value of U.S. Treasury notes and mortgage loans pledged as security for FHLB advances was $42.4 million and $36.1 million, respectively.

 

On March 12, 2023, the Federal Reserve created the BTFP to make additional funding available to eligible depository institutions. The BTFP offers loans of up to one year in length to banks, savings associations, credit unions and other depository institutions which pledge collateral, such as U.S. Treasuries, U.S. agency notes and bonds and U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities. The collateral is valued at par, and advances under this program do not include any fees or prepayment penalties. With the introduction of the BTFP, the Company pledged as collateral U.S. agency notes and bonds and borrowed $13.0 million from the BTFP at a fixed rate of 4.99% for a one-year period on May 19, 2023. At September 30, 2023, the pledged securities had a par value of $48.9 million and a carrying value of $44.7 million.
