All investment securities classified as HTM by Bancorp as of March 31, 2026 are obligations of the U.S. Government and/or are issued by government-sponsored enterprises and have an explicit government guarantee or have a credit rating on par with the U.S. government and are generally considered risk-free. Therefore, no ACL has been recorded for Bancorp’s HTM securities as of March 31, 2026. Further, as of March 31, 2026, none of Bancorp’s HTM securities were in non-accrual or past due status.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. The investment portfolio includes MBS, which are guaranteed by agencies such as FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA. These securities differ from traditional debt securities primarily in that they may have uncertain principal payment dates and are priced based on estimated prepayment rates on the underlying collateral.

 

Accrued interest on the investment securities portfolio (AFS and HTM) totaled $3 million and $4 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Accrued interest receivable on the investment securities portfolios is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Securities with a carrying value of $645 million and $707 million were pledged at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, to secure accounts of commercial depositors in cash management accounts, public deposits and uninsured cash balances for WM&T accounts.

 

Based on an evaluation of available information including security type, counterparty credit quality, past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that are relevant to collectability, Bancorp has concluded that it expects to receive all contractual cash flows from each security held in its AFS and HTM debt securities portfolio. As such, no allowance or impairment was recorded with respect to investment securities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Applicable dates for determining when securities are in unrealized and unrecognized loss positions are March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As such, it is possible that a security had a market value lower than its amortized cost on other days during the past 12 months, but is not in the “Less than 12 months” category of the preceding table.

 

In evaluating debt securities in unrealized and unrecognized loss positions for impairment and the criteria regarding its intent or requirement to sell such securities, Bancorp considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, whether the securities are issued by the federal government or government-sponsored enterprises, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuers’ financial condition, among other factors. Unrealized and unrecognized losses on Bancorp’s investment securities portfolio have not been recognized as an expense because the securities are of high credit quality, and the decline in fair values is attributable to changes in the prevailing interest rate environment since the purchase date. Fair value is expected to recover as securities reach maturity and/or the interest rate environment returns to conditions similar to when these securities were purchased. These investments consisted of 410 and 402 separate investment positions as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
