Note 7 – Borrowings

The Company uses both short-term and long-term borrowings to supplement deposits when they are available at a lower overall cost to the Company or they can be invested at a positive rate of return.

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, the Bank is required to own capital stock in the FHLB and is authorized to apply for advances from the FHLB. The Company held $1,936,000 in FHLB stock at June 30, 2024 and $2,644,000 at December 31, 2023, which is held at cost. Each FHLB credit program has its own interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, and range of maturities. The FHLB may prescribe the acceptable uses to which the advances may be put, as well as on the size of the advances and repayment provisions. The FHLB borrowings are secured by the pledge of commercial and 1-4 family residential loans and investment securities. The Company had FHLB advances of $30,000,000 at June 30, 2024 and $45,000,000 at December 31, 2023.  

The Company uses federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements for short-term borrowing needs. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are classified as borrowings and generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Company may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. There were no borrowings against the lines at June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The Company’s unused lines of credit for future borrowings total approximately $37.5 million at June 30, 2024, which consists of $14.7 million available from the FHLB based on current pledged assets, $20 million on revolving bank line of credit, and $2.8 million under secured federal funds agreements with third party financial institutions. Additional loans and securities are available that can be pledged as collateral for future borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond or the FHLB above the current lendable collateral value.
