Credit Risk. The Bank’s use of clearing agents and central counterparties helps mitigate credit risk exposure by employing standard valuation processes over initial and variation margin processes.
The Bank’s agreements for uncleared derivative transactions contain provisions that link the Bank’s credit rating to various rights and obligations. The aggregate fair value of all uncleared derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that were in a net derivative liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest) at March 31, 2025, was $144 million, for which the Bank posted cash collateral of $140 million in the ordinary course of business.
Additional information related to credit risk from counterparties and uncleared derivative transactions margin rules for uncleared derivative transactions is included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 13 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in the Bank’s 2024 Form 10-K.
The Bank may present derivative instruments, related cash collateral received or pledged, and associated accrued interest by clearing agent or by counterparty on a net basis when the netting requirements have been met. The following table presents separately the fair value of derivative assets and derivative liabilities that have met the netting requirements, including the related collateral received from or pledged to counterparties as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

(1)     Any over-collateralization at the Bank’s individual clearing agent and/or counterparty level is not included in the determination of the net amount. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Bank had additional net credit exposure of $537 million and $504 million, respectively, due to instances where non-cash collateral to a counterparty exceeded the Bank’s net derivative position.
