Our long-term debt balance was level with December 31, 2019. We, however, increased our short-term debt by $302 million during the first quarter of 2020 as a contingency in light of the COVID-19-related volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets. We repaid the $50 million line of credit in May 2020, and the $85 million FHLBNY borrowing in September 2020. The remaining $167 million short-term borrowings are still outstanding as of September 30, 2020. The proceeds from these short-term borrowings were invested in high-quality money market funds, and for the most part, were made to increase liquidity and operating flexibility.

Our short-term borrowings through Nine Months 2020 consisted of the following:

On February 18, 2020, Selective Insurance Company of America (“SICA”) borrowed short-term funds of $85 million from the FHLBNY at an interest rate of 1.81%. This borrowing was refinanced upon its maturity on March 18, 2020, at a lower interest rate of 0.68%. This borrowing was repaid on September 18, 2020.

On March 12, 2020, SICA borrowed $100 million from the FHLBNY at an interest rate of 0.78%. This borrowing was refinanced upon its maturity on September 14, 2020, at a lower interest rate of 0.36%. This borrowing matures on November 16, 2020.

On March 19, 2020, Selective Insurance Company of South Carolina ("SISC") and Selective Insurance Company of the Southeast ("SISE") borrowed $39 million and $28 million, respectively, from the FHLBI at an interest rate of 0.58%. These borrowings mature on December 14, 2020.

On March 24, 2020, the Parent borrowed $50 million on its line of credit issued by the Bank of Montreal at an interest rate of 2.244%. This borrowing was repaid on May 8, 2020.

The remaining $167 million in short-term borrowings are contractually due in the fourth quarter of 2020, and we expect to repay them by year-end. As of September 30, 2020, we were compliant with our required financial debt covenants under the line of credit.
