NOTE 2 — RESTRICTED CASH BALANCES

The Bank was previously required to maintain certain average reserve balances as established by the Federal Reserve Board. The amount of the reserve balance for the reserve computation period, which included December 31, 2019, was $1,352,000, which was satisfied through the restriction of vault cash. Effective March 26, 2020, the average cash reserve requirement was suspended, as the Federal Reserve Board reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to support the flow of credit to households and businesses. The Bank maintains a clearing balance at the Federal Reserve Bank to offset daily cash management activities and specific charges for services. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the amount of this balance was $15,251,000 and $463,000, respectively.
