 11.     Borrowings


Correspondent Bank Lines of Credit


At December 31, 2012, the Bank had access to three secured and one unsecured lines of credit from three correspondent banks totaling $50 million. During September 2013, the Bank obtained an additional unsecured line of credit of $10 million resulting in total lines of credit of $60 million at September 30, 2013. None of the lines of credit were utilized as of either date. These correspondent bank funding sources may be canceled at any time at the correspondent bank’s discretion. 


FHLB Borrowings


As disclosed in Note 4, Investment Securities Available for Sale, and Note 5, Loans, the Bank pledges investment securities and loans to collateralize FHLB borrowings. Additionally, the Bank may pledge cash and cash equivalents. The amount that can be borrowed is based on the balance of the type of asset pledged as collateral multiplied by lendable collateral value percentages as calculated by the FHLB. In September 2013, the Bank’s borrowing capacity with the FHLB was increased to 25% of total assets from its previous capacity of 15% of total assets.


The following table summarizes the utilization and availability of funds borrowed from the FHLB at the dates indicated (in thousands).

Federal Reserve Discount Window


At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $3.6 million and $4.1 million of loans and investment securities were pledged as collateral to cover the various Federal Reserve services that are available for use by the Bank, respectively. Of these amounts, $3.4 million and $3.9 million were available as lendable collateral, respectively. The Bank’s borrowings from the Federal Reserve Discount Window (“Discount Window”) are at the primary credit rate. Primary credit is available through the Discount Window to generally sound depository institutions on a very short-term basis, typically overnight, at a rate above the Federal Open Market Committee target rate for federal funds. The Bank’s maximum maturity for potential borrowings is overnight. The Bank has not drawn on this availability since its initial establishment in 2009 other than to periodically test its ability to access the line. The Federal Reserve has the discretion to deny approval of borrowing requests.
