Restrictions on Cash and Due from Banks, Securities, Loans and Dividends
Federal Reserve regulations require the Bank to maintain reserve balances based on the types and amounts of deposits received. The required reserve balances were $116 million and $348 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
See Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements for the carrying amounts of securities that were pledged as collateral to secure public and trust deposits and for other transactions as required by contract or law. See Note 10 to these consolidated financial statements for the carrying amounts of loans and securities that were pledged as collateral for borrowings, including those pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB.
The Federal Reserve Act restricts the amount of credit transactions and the terms of both credit and non-credit transactions between a bank and its non-bank affiliates. Such transactions may not exceed 10% of the bank's capital and surplus (which for this purpose represents Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital, as calculated under the risk-based capital guidelines, plus the balance of the allowance for loan losses excluded from Tier 2 capital) with any single non-bank affiliate and 20% of the bank's capital and surplus with all its non-bank affiliates. Transactions that are extensions of credit may require collateral to be held to provide added security to the bank. See Note 18 to these consolidated financial statements for further discussion of risk-based capital. At December 31, 2019, $56 million of notes payable remained outstanding from Bankers Commercial Corporation.
The declaration of a dividend by the Bank to the Company is subject to the approval of the OCC if the total of all dividends declared in the current calendar year plus the preceding two years exceeds the Bank's total net income in the current calendar year plus the preceding two years. The payment of dividends is also limited by minimum capital requirements imposed on national banks by the OCC.
At December 31, 2019, MUSA had $35 million of cash segregated in a special reserve account for the exclusive benefit of customers pursuant to Customer Protection Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
