Carrying amounts exclude accrued interest receivable of $30 and $39 at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Many of the Bank’s advances are prepayable at the borrower’s option. However, when advances are prepaid, the borrower is generally charged a prepayment fee intended to make the Bank financially indifferent to the prepayment. In addition, for certain advances with full or partial prepayment symmetry, the Bank may charge the borrower a prepayment fee or pay the borrower a prepayment credit depending on certain circumstances, such as movements in interest rates, when the advance is prepaid. The Bank had advances with full prepayment symmetry outstanding totaling $23,430 at March 31, 2020, and $14,059 at December 31, 2019. The Bank had advances with partial prepayment symmetry outstanding totaling $3,387 at March 31, 2020, and $3,513 at December 31, 2019. Some advances may be repaid on pertinent call dates without prepayment fees (callable advances). The Bank had callable advances outstanding totaling $11,444 at March 31, 2020, and $14,024 at December 31, 2019.
The Bank had putable advances totaling $220 at March 31, 2020, and $20 at December 31, 2019. At the Bank’s discretion, the Bank may terminate these advances on predetermined exercise dates and offer replacement funding at prevailing market rates, subject to certain conditions. The Bank would typically exercise such termination rights when interest rates increase relative to contractual rates.
The following table summarizes advances at March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, by the earlier of the year of redemption term or next call date for callable advances and by the earlier of the year of redemption term or next put date for putable advances.

Interest income amounts exclude the interest effect of interest rate exchange agreements with derivative counterparties; as a result, the total interest income amounts will not agree to the Statements of Income. The amount of interest income from advances can vary depending on the amount outstanding, terms to maturity, interest rates, and repricing characteristics.

Effective April 15, 2019, Wells Fargo Financial National Bank was renamed Wells Fargo Financial National Bank West.
(3)
Nonmember institution.
The Bank held a security interest in collateral from each of the top five advances borrowers and their affiliates sufficient to support their respective advances outstanding, and the Bank does not expect to incur any credit losses on these advances.
Credit Risk Exposure and Security Terms. The Bank manages its credit exposure related to advances through an integrated approach that generally provides for a credit limit to be established for each borrower, includes an ongoing review of each borrower’s financial condition, and is coupled with conservative collateral and lending policies to limit the risk of loss while taking into account borrowers’ needs for a reliable funding source.
In addition, the Bank lends to eligible borrowers in accordance with federal law and Finance Agency regulations. Specifically, the Bank is required to obtain sufficient collateral to fully secure credit products up to the member’s total credit limit. Borrowers may pledge the following eligible assets to secure advances:
•
one-to-four-family first lien residential mortgage loans;
•
securities issued, insures, or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies, including without limitation MBS backed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae;
•
cash or deposits in the Bank;
•
certain other real estate-related collateral, such as multifamily loans, commercial real estate loans, and second lien residential mortgage loans or home equity loans; and
•
small business, small farm, and small agribusiness loans that are fully secured by collateral (such as real estate, equipment and vehicles, accounts receivable, and inventory) from members that are community financial institutions.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, none of the Bank’s credit products were past due or on nonaccrual status. There were no troubled debt restructurings related to credit products during the three months ended March 31, 2020, or during 2019.
Based on the collateral pledged as security for advances, the Bank’s credit analyses of borrowers’ financial condition, repayment history on advances, and the Bank’s credit extension and collateral policies as of March 31, 2020, the Bank expects to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. Therefore, no allowance for losses on advances was deemed necessary by the Bank as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019.
For more information on the credit risk exposure and security terms of advances, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 10 – Allowance for Credit Losses” in the Bank’s 2019 Form 10-K

The Bank did not have any advances with embedded features that met the requirements to separate the embedded feature from the host contract and designate the embedded feature as a stand-alone derivative at March 31, 2020, or December 31, 2019. The Bank has generally elected to account for certain advances with embedded features under the fair value option, and these advances are carried at fair value on the Statements of Condition. For more information, see Note 11 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities and Note 12 – Fair Value.
