At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, FHLB advances were as follows:

(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Fixed interest rate advances with a weighted average interest rate of 2.17% due through 2023	$	492,044	$	442,600

Total FHLB advances	$	592,044	$	542,600

(1) - Represents putable advances with the FHLB. These advances have original fixed rate periods ranging from one to five years with original maturities ranging from three to ten years if not put back to the Bank earlier by the FHLB. At the end of their respective fixed rate periods and on a quarterly basis thereafter, the FHLB has the right to require payoff of the advances by the Bank at no penalty. Based on market conditions at this time, the Bank does not believe that any of its putable advances are likely to be “put back” to the Bank in the short-term by the FHLB.

Each FHLB advance is payable at its maturity date, with a prepayment penalty for fixed rate advances that are paid off earlier than maturity. FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket pledge of eligible real estate loans. At June 30, 2013, Republic had available collateral to borrow an additional $316 million from the FHLB. In addition to its borrowing line with the FHLB, Republic also had unsecured lines of credit totaling $196 million available through various other financial institutions.

Aggregate future principal payments on FHLB advances, based on contractual maturity dates are detailed below:
