The federal funds purchased generally mature overnight from the transaction date.

Repurchase agreements are generally linked to commercial demand deposit accounts with an overnight sweep feature. In a repurchase agreement transaction, the Bank will generally sell an investment security, agreeing to repurchase either the same or a substantially identical security on a specified later date at a price slightly greater than the original sales price. The difference in the sale price and repurchase price is the cost of the use of the proceeds, or interest expense. Repurchase transactions are accounted for as financing arrangements rather than as sales of such securities, and the obligation to repurchase such securities is reflected as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The securities underlying the agreements remain under the Company’s control. Investment securities with a fair value of $193.7 million and $144.3 million were pledged as collateral for the securities sold under agreements to repurchase at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Bank had unused federal funds lines with correspondent banks of $465.0 million and $435.0 million, respectively.
