Summary of Derivative Instruments [Abstract]  
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Accounting
We utilize derivative instruments—including interest rate swaps, futures, options, foreign exchange and commodity contracts, credit derivatives, and various customer-facing products—to manage exposure to interest rate, foreign exchange, commodity, credit, and other market risks. Our objective is to reduce volatility in interest income, interest expense, earnings, and capital. These instruments allow us to adjust the sensitivity of our assets and liabilities to changes in market rates and other market conditions.
In addition, we offer derivative products to customers to support their risk management needs. The resulting exposures are generally mitigated through offsetting transactions with dealer counterparties or central clearing houses. We do not use derivatives for speculative purposes. For more information regarding our use of derivative instruments and related accounting policies, see Note 7 of our 2025 Form 10-K.
Collateral and Credit Risk
Credit risk associated with derivative instruments arises from the potential nonperformance of counterparties. No significant derivative-related losses attributable to counterparty default occurred during the first three months of 2026. For a discussion of how counterparty credit risk is incorporated into derivative valuations, see Note 3 of our 2025 Form 10-K. For additional information regarding collateral arrangements and related credit risk for derivative contracts, see Note 7 of our 2025 Form 10-K.
Certain derivative contracts contain credit risk-related contingent features, such as minimum credit rating requirements. If these features were triggered, we may be required to post additional collateral; however, counterparties have not historically exercised their rights to demand additional collateral in all instances when permitted. If our credit rating had been downgraded by one notch by Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s at March 31, 2026, we do not believe that additional collateral would have been required to be pledged. Centrally cleared derivatives do not include credit risk-related contingent features that would require additional collateral in the event of a credit rating downgrade.
At March 31, 2026, the fair value of our derivative liabilities was $392 million. To satisfy variation margin requirements, we pledged $158 million in cash collateral in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, we pledged U.S. Treasuries with an aggregate face value of $200 million to satisfy initial margin requirements with certain dealer counterparties and central clearing houses.

Hedge Accounting Gains/Losses Recognized in Earnings and Deferred in AOCI
The following schedule present the gains and losses from derivative instruments designated as cash flow and fair value hedges, either deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) or recognized in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

1 For the 12-month period following March 31, 2026, we estimate that approximately $42 million of net losses from both active and terminated cash flow hedges will be reclassified from AOCI into interest income, compared with an estimate of $54 million at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, approximately $27 million of losses related to terminated cash flow hedges remained deferred in AOCI, which are expected to be fully reclassified into earnings by October 2027.
2 We recorded cumulative unamortized basis adjustments from terminated fair value hedges of debt totaling $30 million and $38 million at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Additionally, we had $2 million and $3 million of cumulative unamortized basis adjustments from terminated fair value hedges of assets at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Interest on fair value hedges presented above includes the amortization of the remaining unamortized basis adjustments.

2 Income (expense) from derivative instruments excludes interest income and interest expense associated with periodic accruals and settlements in order to align with the presentation of gains and losses on the related hedged items.

2 Hedged items include defined portfolios of AFS securities and commercial loans, as well as specifically identified AFS securities. Related basis adjustments were recorded in the same balance-sheet line items as the corresponding hedged assets. At March 31, 2026, the amortized cost basis of assets designated under the portfolio layer method was $9.2 billion, the cumulative basis adjustment associated with these hedging relationships was $3 million, and the notional amount of the designated accounting hedges was $5.7 billion.
