Assets and liabilities related to derivatives are presented on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash collateral posted for derivative instruments in a loss position is reported as Restricted cash. Derivatives with dealer counterparties are governed by the terms of ISDA master netting agreements and Credit Support Annexes. The ISDA Agreement allows counterparties to offset trades in a gain against trades in a loss to determine net exposure and allows for the right of setoff in the event of either a default or an additional termination event. Credit Support Annexes govern the terms of daily collateral posting practices. Collateral practices mitigate the potential loss impact to affected parties by requiring liquid collateral to be posted on a scheduled basis to secure the aggregate net unsecured exposure. In addition to collateral, the right of setoff allows counterparties to offset derivative values transacted with a defaulting party with certain other contractual receivables from or obligations due to the defaulting party in determining the net termination amount. No portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives has been excluded from effectiveness testing. The ineffective portion was immaterial for all periods presented.

The following table provides a summary of derivative strategies and the related accounting treatment:
	Cash Flow Hedges	Fair Value Hedges	Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Risk exposure	Variability in cash flows of interest payments on floating rate business loans, overnight funding, FHLB advances, medium-term bank notes and long-term debt.	Losses in value on fixed rate long-term debt, CDs, FHLB advances, loans and state and political subdivision securities due to changes in interest rates.	Risk associated with an asset or liability, including mortgage banking operations and MSRs, or for client needs. Includes exposure to changes in market rates and conditions subsequent to the interest rate lock and funding date for mortgage loans originated for sale.
Risk management objective	Hedge the variability in the interest payments and receipts on future cash flows for forecasted transactions related to the first unhedged payments and receipts of variable interest.	Convert the fixed rate paid or received to a floating rate, primarily through the use of swaps.	For interest rate lock commitment derivatives and LHFS, use mortgage-based derivatives such as forward commitments and options to mitigate market risk. For MSRs, mitigate the income statement effect of changes in the fair value of the MSRs.
Treatment for portion that is highly effective	Recognized in OCI until the related cash flows from the hedged item are recognized in earnings.	Recognized in current period income along with the corresponding changes in the fair value of the designated hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged.	Entire change in fair value recognized in current period income.
Treatment for portion that is ineffective	Recognized in current period income.	Recognized in current period income.	Not applicable
Treatment if hedge ceases to be highly effective or is terminated	Hedge is dedesignated. Effective changes in value that are recorded in OCI before dedesignation are amortized to yield over the period the forecasted hedged transactions impact earnings.	If hedged item remains outstanding, termination proceeds are included in cash flows from financing activities and effective changes in value are reflected as part of the carrying value of the financial instrument and amortized to earnings over its estimated remaining life.	Not applicable
Treatment if transaction is no longer probable of occurring during forecast period or within a short period thereafter	Hedge accounting is ceased and any gain or loss in OCI is reported in earnings immediately.	Not applicable	Not applicable

Derivatives Credit Risk – Dealer Counterparties

Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable to the same counterparty. The risk of loss is addressed by subjecting dealer counterparties to credit reviews and approvals similar to those used in making loans or other extensions of credit and by requiring collateral. Dealer counterparties operate under agreements to provide cash and/or liquid collateral when unsecured loss positions exceed negotiated limits.

Derivative contracts with dealer counterparties settle on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis, with daily movement of collateral between counterparties required within established netting agreements. BB&T only transacts with dealer counterparties that are national market makers with strong credit ratings.

Derivatives Credit Risk – Central Clearing Parties

Certain derivatives are cleared through central clearing parties that require initial margin collateral, as well as additional collateral for trades in a net loss position. Initial margin collateral requirements are established by central clearing parties on varying bases, with such amounts generally designed to offset the risk of non-payment. Initial margin is generally calculated by applying the maximum loss experienced in value over a specified time horizon to the portfolio of existing trades. The central clearing party used for TBA transactions does not post variation margin to the bank.
