[1] Net derivative assets are included in other assets and net derivative liabilities are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Included in the fair value of net derivative assets and net derivative liabilities are credit valuation adjustments reflecting counterparty credit risk and our credit risk. At December 31, 2021, we had no credit exposure related to interest rate swaps with financial institutions and $13.4 million related to interest rate swaps with customers. At December 31, 2020, we had no credit exposure related to interest rate swaps with financial institutions and $18.5 million related to interest rate swaps with customers. The credit risk associated with customer transactions is partially mitigated as these are generally secured by the non-cash collateral securing the underlying transaction being hedged.

[2] All MBS issued and/or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or U.S. GSEs.

[3] All MBS are issued and/or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or U.S. GSEs.

[4] Consists of individually evaluated loans. Loans for which the fair value of the collateral and commercial real estate fair value of the properties is less than cost basis are presented net of allowance. Losses on these loans represent charge-offs which are netted against the allowance for loan losses.
