During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Corporation sold lower yielding AFS securities with a carrying value of $715 million at a net loss of $65 million and reinvested the proceeds in higher yielding and lower risk-weighted GNMA securities. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2023, the Corporation sold 1,000 shares of its Visa Class B restricted shares and wrote up its remaining shares based on that market price, resulting in a gain of $6 million.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Corporation sold $110 million of lower yielding municipal securities at a loss of $2 million and reinvested the proceeds into higher yielding and lower risk-weighted GNMA securities. During the third quarter of 2022, the Corporation sold its Visa Class B restricted shares obtained in the acquisition of First Staunton, which were carried at a zero-cost basis. The remaining shares of Visa Class B restricted shares held by the Corporation, which are carried at fair value, were subsequently written up to reflect the new observable price resulting from that sale.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Corporation sold $107 million of lower yielding FFELP student loan asset backed securities at an immaterial gain and reinvested the proceeds into higher yielding MBS. During the first quarter of 2021, the Corporation sold $51 million of lower yielding U.S. Treasury and Agency securities at an immaterial loss to take advantage of the steeper yield curve by reinvesting the proceeds into similar but higher yielding, longer duration securities.
Investment securities with a carrying value of $1.6 billion at December 31, 2023 and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2022 were pledged as required to secure certain deposits or for other purposes.
Accrued interest receivable on HTM securities totaled $18 million and $19 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Accrued interest receivable on AFS securities totaled $15 million and $9 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Accrued interest receivable on both HTM and AFS securities is included in interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. There was no interest income reversed for investments going into nonaccrual for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
A security is considered past due once it is 30 days past due under the terms of the agreement. At both December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Corporation had no past due HTM securities.
The allowance for credit losses on HTM securities was approximately $75,000 and $54,000 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, attributable entirely to the Corporation's municipal securities, included in HTM investment securities, net, at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation also holds U.S. Treasury, municipal, and mortgage-related securities issued by the U.S. government or a GSE which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and private-label residential mortgage-related securities that have credit enhancement which covers the first 15% of losses and, as a result, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded related to these securities.

The Corporation reviews the AFS investment securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to monitor its credit exposure. A determination as to whether a security’s decline in fair value is the result of credit risk takes into consideration numerous factors and the relative significance of any single factor can vary by security. Some factors the Corporation may consider in this impairment analysis include the extent to which the security has been in an unrealized loss position, the change in security rating, financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, as well as security and industry specific economic conditions.
Based on the Corporation’s evaluation, management does not believe any unrealized losses at December 31, 2023 represent credit deterioration as these unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and the current market conditions. The Corporation does not intend to sell, nor does it believe that it will be required to sell, the securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of their amortized cost basis.
FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stocks: The Corporation is required to maintain Federal Reserve Bank stock and FHLB stock as a member bank of both the Federal Reserve System and the FHLB, and in amounts as required by these institutions. These equity securities are “restricted” in that they can only be sold back to the respective institutions or another member institution at par. Therefore, they are less liquid than other marketable equity securities and their fair value is equal to amortized cost. The Corporation had FHLB stock of $143 million and $209 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Corporation had Federal Reserve Bank stock of $87 million at both December 31, 2023 and 2022. Accrued interest receivable on FHLB stock totaled $4 million and $3 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There was no accrued interest receivable on Federal Reserve Bank stock at both December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Accrued interest receivable on both FHLB stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock is included in interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.
Equity Securities
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values: The Corporation's portfolio of equity securities with readily determinable fair values is primarily comprised of CRA Qualified Investment mutual funds and other mutual funds. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Corporation had equity securities with readily determinable fair values of $7 million and $6 million, respectively.
Equity securities without readily determinable fair values: The Corporation's portfolio of equity securities without readily determinable fair values, which primarily consists of Visa Class B restricted shares and an investment in a private SBA loan fund, was carried at $35 million and $19 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
