RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
NOTE 2 – RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS


During March 2020 the FRB, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced our Bank’s reserve balance requirements to zero. Prior to that time our Bank was required to maintain reserve balances in the form of vault cash and balances with the FRB. The average reserve balances to be maintained during 2021 and 2020 were zero and $9.2 million, respectively. We do not maintain compensating balances with correspondent banks. We may also be required to maintain reserve balances related to certain mortgage banking related derivatives not classified as hedges. These balances are held at unrelated financial institutions and totaled zero and $0.74 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
