Loan Valuation and Margins Table

Effective July 1, 2026

The Reserve Banks determine the collateral value of pledged loans as the product of their fair market value estimate and a margin designed to protect the Reserve Banks from financial loss. The estimated fair market value of each pledged loan is calculated monthly based on information provided by the pledging institution, including cash flow and credit characteristics, as well as market data analyzed by the Reserve Banks. Margins take into account both cash flow and credit characteristics of pledged loans, as well as historical price volatility of each category of loan collateral (as identified in the Margins Table below) measured over liquidation periods determined by the Reserve Banks.

The Reserve Banks will make general assumptions in all cases where information about a loan is not available when determining either a loan’s value or its margin. If a loan’s value or its margin cannot be determined due to missing information about a pledged loan, or any other reason, the loan will receive zero collateral value. Contact your local Reserve Bank for further information.

Margins also consider the risk associated within loan collateral categories. Some loan collateral categories have a margin for both a minimal and normal risk rating. A minimal risk rating is roughly equivalent to investment grade while a normal risk rating is roughly equivalent to below investment grade.

There are two sets of margins applied to loan collateral based on the characteristics of the pledging institution: in-scope and out-of-scope.  An institution is considered in-scope if it meets one of the criteria listed below, while all other institutions are considered out-of-scope.

  • All depository institutions (12 CFR 201.2(c)(1)) that are controlled (12 CFR 225.2(e)) by a Bank Holding Company (12 CFR 225.2(c)(1)) (including a Financial Holding Company (12 CFR 225.81)) or an Intermediate Holding Company (12 CFR 252.2(y)) with Fifty Billion Dollars ($50,000,000,000) or more in total consolidated assets, defined as the average over the last four calendar quarters;
  • All Foreign Banking Organizations (12 CFR 211.21(o)(1));
  • All other domestic depository institutions with Fifty Billion Dollars ($50,000,000,000) or more in total consolidated assets, defined as the average over the last four calendar quarters; or
  • An institution that voluntarily becomes an in-scope institution. This is a permanent conversion -- an in-scope institution cannot become out-of-scope.

Reading the Margins Table

Margins for in-scope institutions and out-of-scope institutions are displayed in the respective Loans Margins Tables below.  Toggle between the tabs to switch between types of institutions.

The tables display the range of margins that have been applied historically to loans pledged in each category. Each range consists of the minimum margin, the weighted average margin, and the maximum margin observed based on historical loan pledges. When only one number is displayed, either that was the only observed margin for those characteristics, or there was insufficient historical data available.  In the case of insufficient historical data, the margin displayed is the margin a typical loan with these characteristics may receive.

The displayed margins are based on the characteristics of loans that have been historically pledged as collateral and therefore represent typical collateral and expected margin for that category.  However, the margin applied to any particular pledged loan will be determined based on the actual loan characteristics and could differ from what is displayed. Ranges displayed on the tables are not binding. Depository institutions should contact their local Reserve Bank with questions about their pledged collateral. 

Note: The Loan Types and Call Report Mapping Table, found within the Pledging Collateral section of this website shows the collateral category that corresponds to report codes on the FFIEC 031/041/051 Call Report, the FBO FFIEC 002 Call Report, or the NCUA Call Report, as applicable (Call Report).
