Restricted Cash Balances

NOTE 3. RESTRICTED CASH

The Company is required to maintain reserve balances with the FRBSF. Such reserve requirements are based on a percentage of deposit liabilities and may be satisfied by cash on hand. There were no average reserves required to be held at the FRBSF for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The following restricted cash balances are included in "Interest-earning deposits in financial institutions" on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we pledged cash collateral for our derivative contracts of $15.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively. In connection with the issuance of the credit-linked notes on September 29, 2022, the Company maintains a correspondent bank account at a third-party financial institution that serves as the collateral account. The repayment of principal on the credit-linked notes is secured by this collateral account, which had a balance of $115.3 million at December 31, 2025 and $119.6 million at December 31, 2024. We pledged cash to secure standby letters of credit that we have issued on behalf of our customers. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balances of such restricted cash totaled $39.8 million and $59.3 million, respectively.
