Borrowings

Note 10 – 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.

Each FHLB credit program has its own interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, and carries a 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 Company has pledged commercial real estate loans as collateral for FHLB borrowings. The Company had $66.5 million in outstanding FHLB advances as of December 31, 2023, compared to no outstanding FHLB advances as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a letter of credit for $30.0 million issued in favor of the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of the Treasury to secure public fund depository accounts, which was cancelled by the Company in 2023. This letter of credit was secured by commercial mortgages.

In addition to access to short-term borrowings from FHLB, the Company uses federal funds purchased for short-term borrowing needs. Available borrowing arrangements maintained by the Bank include formal federal funds lines with five major correspondent banks. As of December 31, 2023, $3.5 million was borrowed against such lines. There were no borrowings against the lines at December 31, 2022.

The Company’s unused lines of credit for future borrowings total approximately $119.4 million at December 31, 2023, which consists of $3.9 million available from the FHLB and $115.5 million from third-party financial institutions. Additional loans and securities are available that can be pledged as collateral for future borrowings from the FRB or the FHLB above the current lendable collateral value.
