Third Quarter 2017 Economic and Business Environment
U.S. macroeconomic trends in the third quarter were characterized by a softening in economic growth and low inflation. GDP advanced at a slower pace than the previous quarter. At the same time, inflation remained subdued overall despite some energy-related pressure stemming from the hurricanes that impacted the southern U.S.
Despite sustained growth in the third quarter, the hurricanes added uncertainty to economic forecasts and distorted economic data releases. As a result of the hurricanes, there was an estimated 0.1 to 0.5 percent reduction from annualized GDP growth. Consumer spending slowed in August but recovered, especially vehicle sales, the following month. Business investment in equipment remained buoyant. While nonfarm payroll growth decelerated, the unemployment rate remained low. Despite tight labor market conditions, wage gains were modest.
The Federal Reserve, as expected, kept its target federal funds rate corridor at 1 to 1.25 percent, while announcing that balance
sheet normalization would begin in October. U.S. equities rose in the quarter, in part due to improvement in corporate earnings and despite the realization that domestic fiscal policy changes will likely take longer than previously expected. Despite a late rally, the U.S. dollar index fell primarily on the strength of the euro. Amid a weaker dollar, gold and oil prices both rose. The U.S. yield curve flattened modestly while interest rates increased.
Abroad, eurozone recovery remained robust in the third quarter, maintaining momentum following its best quarter in two years. The more robust economic momentum has failed to translate into stronger inflationary pressures, which remained depressed over the quarter. As a result, the European Central Bank remained cautious about the outlook for monetary policy and it has been carefully evaluating how to extend the ongoing quantitative easing program into next year.
Many survey indicators suggest that the subdued momentum from the first half of the year in the United Kingdom (U.K.) economy has extended into the third quarter. At the same time, inflation continued in an upward trend and reached the highest level since 2012, well above the Bank of England target, driven by the pass-through from the sterling depreciation that followed the Brexit referendum.
In Japan, business surveys suggest that moderate economic momentum remained intact in the third quarter. In China, the service sector remained a key driver of economic growth. The yuan had a volatile third quarter, reaching a one-year high in September with Chinese foreign exchange reserves rising steadily over the quarter.
Recent EventsDevelopments
Capital Management
DuringIn June 2020, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve) notified BHCs of their 2020 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) supervisory stress test results, which included a preliminary stress capital buffer (SCB) that was finalized in August 2020. Based on our results, we are subject to a 2.5 percent SCB for the period beginning October 1, 2020 and ending on September 30, 2021.
Due to economic uncertainty resulting from the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the Federal Reserve required all large banks to suspend share repurchase programs in the third quarter of 2017, we repurchased approximately $3.0 billion2020, except for repurchases to offset shares awarded under equity-based compensation plans, and to limit dividends to existing rates that do not exceed the average of common stock pursuantthe last four quarters’ net income. In September 2020, the Federal Reserve announced that these measures would remain in place for the fourth quarter of 2020. Large banks will also be required to resubmit and update their capital plans in November
2020 based on the Board's 2017 repurchase authorizationFederal Reserve’s updated supervisory stress test scenarios. The Federal Reserve announced that they will publish the results of $12.9 billion announced on June 28, 2017. Forthe additional information, see Capital Management on page 28. supervisory stress tests by December 31, 2020.
On July 26, 2017,October 21, 2020, the Board of Directors (the Board) declared a quarterly common stock dividend at the current rate of $0.12$0.18 per share, payableshare. We intend to maintain the quarterly common stock dividend at this rate until further notice, subject to approval by the Board. For more information on September 29, 2017our capital resources, see Capital Management on page 23.
COVID-19 Pandemic
As previously disclosed, in the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. In an attempt to shareholderscontain the spread and impact of recordthe COVID-19 pandemic, travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and limitations on business activity have been implemented. Additionally, there has been a decline in global economic activity, reduced U.S. and global economic output and a deterioration in macroeconomic conditions in the U.S. and globally. This has resulted in, among other things, high rates of unemployment and underemployment and caused volatility and disruptions in the global financial markets, including the energy and commodity markets. Although some restrictive measures have been eased in certain areas, businesses, market participants, our counterparties and clients, and the U.S. and global economies have been negatively impacted and are likely to be so for an extended period of time, as there remains significant uncertainty about the timing and strength of September 1, 2017.

Clients
We continue to leverage our business continuity plans and capabilities to service our clients and meet our clients’ financial needs by offering assistance to clients affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and providing access to credit and the important financial services on which our clients rely. We are also participating in the programs created by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES Act) and Federal Reserve lending programs for businesses, such as the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Main Street Lending Program, as well as other measures. While most of our deferral programs expired in the third quarter of 2020, we continue to offer assistance on a case-by-case basis when requested by clients affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of September 30 2020, we had approximately 343,000 PPP loans outstanding with balances totaling $24.7 billion, which were recorded in the Consumer, GWIM and Global Banking segments. In addition, we have begun to process applications for forgiveness. For more information on PPP loans, see Credit Risk Management on page 31, and for more information on accounting for PPP loans and loan modifications under the applicableCARES Act, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Community Partners
We continue to support the communities where we live and work by engaging in various initiatives to help those affected by COVID-19. These initiatives include committing resources to provide medical supplies, food and other necessities for those in need. We are also supporting racial equality, economic opportunity and environmental sustainability through direct equity investments in minority-owned depository institutions, equity investments in minority entrepreneurs, businesses and funds, as well as other initiatives.

Risk Management
We continue to manage the increased operational risk related to the execution of our business continuity plans in accordance with our Enterprise Response Framework, Risk Framework and Operational Risk Management Program. For more information, see Managing Risk on page 23.
Loan Modifications
The Corporation has implemented various consumer and commercial loan modification programs to provide its borrowers relief from the economic impacts of COVID-19. Based on guidance in the CARES Act that the Corporation adopted, COVID-19 related modifications to consumer and commercial loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are exempt from troubled debt restructuring (TDR) classification under accounting guidance. The carrying amountprinciples generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In addition, the bank regulatory agencies issued interagency guidance stating that COVID-19 related short-term modifications (i.e., six months or less) granted to consumer or commercial loans that were current as of the Series T was $2.9loan modification program implementation date are not TDRs. For more information, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases and Allowance for Credit Lossesto the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have provided borrowers with relief from the economic impacts of COVID-19 through payment deferral and forbearance programs. A significant portion of deferrals expired in the third quarter of 2020, reflecting a decline in customer requests for assistance.
As of October 21, 2020, deferred consumer and small business loans recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet totaled $9.8 billion, consisting of $9.0 billion of residential mortgage and upon conversion, was recorded as additional paid-in capital, increasinghome equity loans, including loans serviced by others, that are well-collateralized, $298 million of consumer credit card loans and $582 million of small business and consumer vehicle loans.

For more information on how the risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our businesses, results of operations and financial condition, see Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors on page 105.
LIBOR and Other Benchmark Rates
As previously disclosed, to facilitate an orderly transition from Interbank Offered Rates (IBORs) and other benchmark rates to alternative reference rates (ARRs), the Corporation has established an enterprise-wide program to identify, assess and monitor risks associated with the expected discontinuation or unavailability of benchmarks, including the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). As part of this program, the Corporation continues to identify, assess and monitor risks associated with the expected discontinuation or unavailability of LIBOR and other benchmarks. Additionally, the Corporation continues to evaluate and address documentation and contractual mechanics of outstanding IBOR-based products and contracts that may mature after LIBOR is no longer deemed a representative benchmark, as well as new and potential future ARR-based products and contracts to achieve operational readiness.
This program, which is led by the Corporation's Chief Operating Officer, includes active involvement of senior management and regular reports to the Enterprise Risk Committee. The program is structured to address the Corporation's industry and regulatory engagement, client and financial contract changes, internal and external communications, technology and operations modifications, introduction of new products, migration of existing clients, and program strategy and governance.
As the markets for ARRs continue to grow, the Corporation continues to monitor and participate in the development and usage of ARRs, including the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA). The Corporation issued debt and deposits linked to SOFR and SONIA, facilitated debt issuances by clients linked to SOFR and SONIA, and executed SOFR- and SONIA-based derivative contracts to make markets and facilitate client activities.

In accordance with the industry-wide transition from IBORs to ARRs, central clearing counterparties (CCPs) in Europe and the U.S., which act as intermediaries and require collateral deposits for the clearing and settlement of interest rate swap products and other derivatives, changed the interest rate used to calculate amounts due to counterparties for collateral deposits posted with them from the European Overnight Index Average (EONIA) to the Euro Short-Term Rate (ESTR) and the Effective Fed Funds Rate (EFFR) to SOFR in July and October 2020, respectively. In connection with this transition, the Corporation updated its operational models, systems, procedures and internal infrastructure. The earnings impact from the changes in net valuations of these derivatives was not significant at the point of conversion, as the Corporation either provided or received compensation to/from the CCPs. Additionally, in October 2020, the Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries adhered to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol, effective January 25, 2021, which provides a mechanism to enable market participants to incorporate fallbacks for certain legacy non-cleared derivatives linked to certain IBORs.
The Corporation continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the market and industry transition to ARRs, including the readiness of impacted clients and their operational readiness to transition to ARRs. For more information on the expected replacement of LIBOR and other benchmark rates, see

Prior to July 1, 2020, a significant portion of our merchant processing activity was performed by a joint venture in which we held a 49 percent ownership interest. Effective July 1, 2020, the Corporation received its share of the joint venture's merchant contracts and began performing merchant processing services for these merchants. The Corporation records merchant revenue in card income with the related costs in noninterest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income. For more information, see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Financial Highlights
Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted the new accounting standard on current expected credit losses (CECL), under which the allowance is measured based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses (ECL). Prior-year periods presented reflect measurement of the allowance based on management’s estimate of probable incurred credit losses. For more information, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The results for the three- and nine-month periods compareddecline in net income was primarily due to the same periods in 2016 were primarily driven by higher revenue, lower provision for credit losses driven by the weaker economic outlook related to COVID-19 and noninterest expense.lower net interest income, partially offset by a $2.1 billion pretax impairment charge related to the notice of the termination of the merchant services joint venture in the prior year.
Total assets increased $96.2$304.4 billion from December 31, 20162019 to $2.3$2.7 trillion at September 30, 2017 due to higher trading account assets primarily driven by additional inventory in fixed-income, currencies and commodities (FICC) to meet expected client demand, and increased client financing activities in equities, growthan increase in cash and cash equivalents, primarily due to an increase in deposits, as well as higher loansdebt securities and leasesfederal funds sold and securities

Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $960 milliondecreased $2.1 billion to $11.2$10.1 billion, and $2.4$3.6 billion to $33.2$33.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 compared to the same periods in 2016. The net2019. Net interest yield increased 13on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis decreased 69 basis points (bps) to 2.311.72 percent, and 1149 bps to 2.32 percent. These increases were1.96 percent for the same periods. The decrease in net interest income was primarily driven by the benefits from higherlower interest rates, and loan and deposit growth, partially offset by reduced deposit and funding costs, the decline resulting from the saledeployment of the non-U.S. consumer credit card businessexcess deposits into securities and an additional day of interest accrual. We expect net interest income to remain relatively flat or to modestly increase in the secondfourth quarter of 2017.2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2020 assuming economic conditions do not deteriorate and interest rates remain stable as compared to September 30, 2020.

Service charges remained relatively unchanged for the three-month period and increased $203 million for the nine-month period with the increase primarily driven by the impact of pricing strategies and higher treasury services-related revenue.
Investment and brokerage services income increased $143 million and $339 million primarily driven by the impact of assets under management (AUM) flows and higher market valuations, partially offset by the impact of changing market dynamics on transactional revenue and AUM pricing.
Card income increased $103 million for the three-month period and decreased $197 million for the nine-month period. The increase in the three-month period was primarily driven by higher income related to the processing of unemployment insurance and higher merchant processing, partially offset by lower client activity related to the impact of COVID-19. The decrease in the nine-month period was primarily due to lower levels of consumer spending driven by the impact of COVID-19.
    Service charges decreased $158 million and $435 million primarily due to higher deposit balances and lower client activity due to the impact of COVID-19.
●    Investment and brokerage services income increased $129 million and $479 million primarily due to higher client transactional activity, higher market valuations and assets
under management (AUM) flows, partially offset by declines in AUM pricing.     
Investment banking fees increased $236 million and $1.1 billion primarily due to higher equity underwriting fees and for the nine-month period, higher debt underwriting fees, as well.
    Market making and similar activities decreased $429 million and $284 million. The decrease in both periods was primarily due to the impact of lower U.S. interest rates on certain risk management derivatives. The decrease in the nine-month period was also partially offset by increased client activity and strong trading performance in FICC.
Other income decreased $294 million and $533 million. The decrease in the three-month period was primarily due to higher partnership losses on tax credit investments, primarily affordable housing and renewable energy, as well as loan sales in the prior period. The decrease in the nine-month period was primarily due to lower equity investment income and higher partnership losses on tax credit investments.
Investment banking income remained relatively unchanged for the three-month period and increased $574 million for the nine-month period primarily due to higher debt and equity issuance fees and higher advisory fees.
Trading account profits decreased $304 million for the three-month period primarily due to weaker performance in fixed-income products, and increased $303 million for the nine-month period primarily due to increased client financing activity in equities.
Mortgage banking income decreased $609 millionand$1.0 billion primarily driven by lower net servicing income due to lower mortgage servicing rights (MSR) results, netBank of the related hedge performance, and lower production income primarily due to lower volume.America 6


5Bank of America





Gains on sales of debt securities increased $74 million for the three-month period and decreased $212 million for the nine-month period primarily driven by sales volume.
Other income decreased $69 million for the three-month period due to lower fair value adjustments from economic hedging activities in the fair value option portfolio, partially offset by higher gains on asset sales, and increased $601 million for the nine-month period primarily due to the $793 million pre-tax gain recognized in connection with the sale of the non-U.S. consumer credit card business in the second quarter of 2017.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses decreased $16increased $610 million to $834 million,$1.4 billion, and $428 million$8.6 billion to $2.4$11.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 compared to the same periods in 20162019 primarily driven by higher ECL due to credit quality improvements in the consumer real estate portfolio and reductions in energy exposures in the commercial portfolio, partially offset by portfolio seasoning and loan growth in the U.S. credit card portfolio.a weaker economic outlook related to COVID-19.

The decrease was primarily due to lower personnel and other general operating expense, including the reduction related to the sale of the non-U.S. credit card business.
Noninterest expense$41.3 billion for the nine-month period remained relatively unchanged as a $295 million impairment charge related to certain data centers in the process of being sold and higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) expense were largely offset by lower litigation expense.

The effective tax rates for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were driven2020 compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.1 billion pretax impairment charge related to the notice of termination of the merchant services joint venture recorded in the prior-year
periods, partially offset by the impact of our recurring tax preference benefits. The nine-month 2017 effective tax rate also included taxCOVID-19 related expense, of $690 million recognized in connection with the sale of the non-U.S. consumer credit card businessas well as higher litigation expense. Absent unexpected changes, we expect noninterest expense will be approximately $13.7 billion in the secondfourth quarter of 2017.2020 assuming both lower COVID-19 related costs and litigation expense.

The changes in the effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20162020 compared to the same periods a year ago were driven by the impact of our recurring tax preference benefits andon the third quarterlower levels of 2016 included a $350 million charge forpretax income and the impact of the U.K. tax law changeschange discussed below. Our recurring tax preference benefits primarily consist of tax credits from investments in affordable housing and renewable energy, aligning with our responsible growth strategy to address global sustainability challenges. We expect the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2020 to be approximately 10 percent, excluding unusual items. Absent these tax credits, the effective tax rate would be approximately 26 percent.
On July 22, 2020, the U.K. enacted a reversal of the final two percent of scheduled decreases in September 2016.the U.K. corporation tax rate, which had been previously enacted. This change will unfavorably affect income tax expense on future U.K. earnings, and requires a reversal of the adjustment to the U.K. net deferred tax assets recognized at the time the related tax rate decrease was originally enacted. Accordingly, during the third quarter of 2020, the Corporation recorded a positive income tax adjustment of approximately $700 million along with a corresponding increase to the U.K. net deferred tax assets.

Supplemental Financial Data
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this Form 10-Q, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items or otherwise include components that differ from the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional useful information to assess our financial condition, results of operations (including period-to-period operating performance) or compliance with prospective regulatory requirements. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended as a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may not be defined or calculated the same way as non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
We view net interest income and related ratios and analyses on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE)an FTE basis, which when presented on a consolidated basis are non-GAAP financial measures. To derive the FTE basis, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt income on an equivalent before-tax basis with a corresponding increase in income tax expense. For purposes of this calculation, we use the federal statutory tax rate of 3521 percent and a representative state tax rate. In addition, certain performance measures including the efficiency ratio and netNet interest yield, utilize net interest income (and thus total revenue) on an FTE basis. The efficiency ratiowhich measures the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, and net interest yield measures the bpsbasis points we earn over the cost of funds.funds, utilizes net interest income on an FTE basis. We believe that presentation of these items on an FTE basis allows for comparison of amounts from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practices.
We may present certain key performance indicators and ratios excluding certain items (e.g., debit valuation adjustment (DVA) gains (losses)) which result in non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the presentation of measures that exclude these items areis useful because theysuch measures provide additional information to assess the underlying operational performance and trends of our businesses and to allow better comparison of period-to-period operating performance.
We also evaluate our business based on certain ratios that utilize tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible equity represents an adjusted shareholders’ equity or common shareholders’ equity amount which has been reduced by goodwill and certain acquired intangible assets (excluding MSRs)mortgage servicing rights (MSRs)), net of related deferred tax liabilities.liabilities ("adjusted" shareholders' equity or common shareholders' equity). These measures are used to evaluate our use of equity. In addition, profitability, relationship and investment models use both return on average tangible
common shareholders’ equity and return on average tangible shareholders’ equity as key measures to support our overall growth goals.objectives. These ratios are as follows:
Return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity measures our earnings contribution as a percentage of adjusted common shareholders’ equity. The tangible common equity ratio represents adjusted ending common shareholders’ equity divided by total assets less goodwill and certain acquired intangible assets (excluding MSRs), net of related deferred tax liabilities.
Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity measures our earnings contribution as a percentage of adjusted average total shareholders’ equity. The tangible equity ratio represents adjusted ending shareholders’ equity divided by total assets less goodwill and certain acquired intangible assets (excluding MSRs), net of related deferred tax liabilities.
Tangible book value per common share represents adjusted ending common shareholders’ equity divided by ending common shares outstanding.
    Return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity measures our net income applicable to common shareholders as a percentage of adjusted average common shareholders’ equity. The tangible common equity ratio represents adjusted ending common shareholders’ equity divided by total tangible assets.
    Return on average tangible shareholders' equity measures our net income as a percentage of adjusted average total shareholders’ equity. The tangible equity ratio represents adjusted ending shareholders’ equity divided by total tangible assets.
    Tangible book value per common share represents adjusted ending common shareholders’ equity divided by ending common shares outstanding.
We believe that the use of ratios that utilizeutilizing tangible equity providesprovide additional useful information because they present measures of those assets that can generate income. Tangible book value per common share provides additional useful information about the level of tangible assets in relation to outstanding shares of common stock.
The aforementioned supplemental data and performance measures are presented in Tables 65 and 7. Table 8 presents certain6.
For more information on the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, see Non-GAAP Reconciliations on page 51.
Key Performance Indicators
We present certain key financial and nonfinancial performance measurementsindicators (key performance indicators) that management uses when assessing our consolidated and/or segment results. We believe they are useful to investors because they provide additional information about our underlying operational performance and trends. These key performance indicators (KPIs) may not be defined or calculated in the same way as similar KPIs used by other companies. For information on an FTE basis.how these metrics are defined, see Key Metrics on page 104.
Our consolidated key performance indicators, which include various equity and credit metrics, are presented in Table 1 on page 5 and/or Table 5 on page 9.
For information on key segment performance metrics, see Business Segment Operations on page 12.

Business Segment Operations
Segment Description and Basis of Presentation
We report our results of operations through the following four business segments: Consumer Banking,, GWIM,, Global Bankingand Global Markets, with the remaining operations recorded in All Other. We manage our segments and report their results on an FTE basis. For more information, see Business Segment Operations in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We periodically review capital allocated to our businesses and allocate capital annually during the strategic and capital planning processes. We utilize a methodology that considers the effect of regulatory capital requirements in addition to internal risk-
basedrisk-based capital models. Our internal risk-based capital models use a risk-adjusted methodology incorporating each segment’s credit, market, interest rate, business and operational risk components. For more information on the nature of these risks, see Managing Risk on page 28. 23. The
capital allocated to the business segments is referred to as allocated capital. Allocated equity in the reporting units is comprised of allocated capital plus capital for the portion of goodwill and intangibles specifically assigned to the reporting unit. For more information, see Note 7 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
For more information on theour presentation of financial information on an FTE basis, of presentationsee Supplemental Financial Data on page 8, and for business segments and reconciliations to consolidated total revenue, net income and period-end total assets, seeNote 17 – Business Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key Performance Indicators
We present certain key financial and nonfinancial performance indicators that management uses when evaluating segment results. We believe they are useful to investors because they provide additional information about our segments’ operational performance, customer trends and business growth.

Net income for Deposits increased $369 million to $1.2 billion driven by higher revenue, partially offset by higher noninterest expense. Net interest income increased $810 million to $3.4 billion primarily due to the beneficial impact of an increase in investable assets as a result of higher deposits, and pricing discipline.
Noninterest expense increased $218 million to $2.6 billion primarily driven by investments in digital capabilities and business growth, including increased primary sales professionals, combined with investments in new financial centers and renovations, and higher litigation and FDIC expenses.

In addition to the U.S. credit card portfolio in Consumer Banking, the remaining U.S. credit card portfolio is in GWIM.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the total U.S. credit card risk-adjusted margin decreased 48 bps and 35 bps compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily driven by increased net charge-offs and higher credit card rewards costs.
Total U.S. credit card purchase volumes increased $4.7 billion to $62.2 billion, and $13.8 billion to $179.2 billion, and debit card purchase volumes increased $3.7 billion to $74.8 billion, and $8.4 billion to $220.7 billion, reflecting higher levels of consumer spending.
Mortgage Banking Income
Mortgage banking income in Consumer Banking includes production income and net servicing income. Production income is comprised primarily of revenue from the fair value gains and losses recognized on our interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) and loans held-for-sale (LHFS), the related secondary market execution, and costs related to representations and warranties made in the sales transactions along with other obligations incurred in the sales of mortgage loans. Production income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $148 million to $64 million, and $347 million to $185 million compared to the same periods in 2016 due to a decision to retain
a higher percentage of residential mortgage production in Consumer Banking, as well as the impact of a higher interest rate environment driving lower refinances.
Net servicing income within Consumer Banking includes income earned in connection with servicing activities and MSR valuation adjustments for the core portfolio, net of results from risk management activities used to hedge certain market risks of the MSRs. Net servicing income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $7 million to $78 million, and $6 million to $216 million compared to the same periods in 2016.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
At September 30, 2017, the core MSR portfolio, held within Consumer Lending, was $1.7 billion compared to $1.8 billion at September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily driven by the amortization of expected cash flows, which exceeded additions to the MSR portfolio, partially offset by changes in fair value from rising interest rates. For more information on MSRs, see Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We have contractual obligations to make future payments on debt and lease agreements. Additionally, in the normal course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements whereby we commit to future purchases of products or services from unaffiliated parties. For more information on obligations and commitments, see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein, as well as Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations in the MD&A of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as and Note 1112 – Long-term Debt and Note 1213 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Representations and Warranties Obligations

Guarantees Contingenciesto the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and, for more information related to the sensitivity of the assumptions used to estimate our reserve for representations and warranties, see Complex Accounting Estimates – Representations and Warranties Liability in the MD&A of the Corporation's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $17.6 billion and $18.3 billion of unresolved repurchase claims, predominately related to subprime and pay option first-lien loans and home equity loans. Outstanding repurchase claims remain unresolved primarily due to (1) the level of detail, support and analysis accompanying such claims, which impact overall claim quality and, therefore, claim resolution and (2) the lack of an established process to resolve disputes related to these claims.
In addition to unresolved repurchase claims, we have received notifications from a sponsor of third-party securitizations with whom we engaged in whole-loan transactions indicating that we may have indemnity obligations with respect to specific loans for which we have not received a repurchase request. These notifications were received prior to 2015, and totaled $1.3 billion at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we reached an agreement with the party requesting indemnity, subject to acceptance of a settlement agreement by a securitization trustee; the impact of this agreement is included in the reserve for representations and warranties.
The reserve for representations and warranties and corporate guarantees is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related provision is included in mortgage banking income. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the reserve for representations and warranties was $2.2 billion and $2.3 billion. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the representations and warranties provision was $198 million and $193 million compared to $99 million and $158 million for the same periods in 2016. The increase in the provision was the result of advanced negotiations with certain counterparties where we believe we will reach settlements on several outstanding legacy matters.
In addition, we currently estimate that the range of possible loss for representations and warranties exposures could be up to $2 billion over existing accruals at September 30, 2017. The estimated range of possible loss represents a reasonably possible loss, but does not represent a probable loss, and is based on currently available information, significant judgment and a number of assumptions that are subject to change.
Future provisions and/or ranges of possible loss associated with obligations under representations and warranties may be significantly impacted if future experiences are different from historical experience or our understandings, interpretations or assumptions. Adverse developments, with respect to one or more of the assumptions underlying the reserve for representations and warranties and the corresponding estimated range of possible loss, such as counterparties successfully challenging or avoiding the application of the relevant statute of limitations, could result in significant increases to future provisions and/or the estimated range of possible loss.

Other Mortgage-related Matters
We continue to be subject to additional mortgage-related litigation and disputes, as well as governmental and regulatory scrutiny and investigations, related to our past and current origination, servicing, transfer of servicing and servicing rights, servicing compliance obligations, foreclosure activities, indemnification obligations, and mortgage insurance and captive reinsurance practices with mortgage insurers. The ongoing environment of additional regulation, increased regulatory compliance obligations, and enhanced regulatory enforcement, combined with ongoing uncertainty related to the continuing evolution of the regulatory environment, has resulted in increased operational and compliance costs and may limit our ability to continue providing certain products and services. For more information on management’s estimate of the aggregate range of possible loss for certain litigation matters and on regulatory investigations, see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Managing Risk
Risk is inherent in all our business activities. The seven key types of risk faced by the Corporation are strategic, credit, market, liquidity, compliance, operational and reputational risks.reputational. Sound risk management enables us to serve our customers and deliver for our shareholders. If not managed well, risks can result in financial loss, regulatory sanctions and penalties, and damage to our reputation, each of which may adversely impact our ability to execute our business strategies. The Corporation takesWe take a comprehensive approach to risk management with a defined Risk Framework and an articulated Risk Appetite Statement which are approved annually by the Enterprise Risk Committee (ERC) and the Board.
Our Risk Framework isserves as the foundation for comprehensivethe consistent and effective management of the risks facing the Corporation. The Risk Framework sets forth clear roles, responsibilities and accountability for the management of risk and provides a blueprint for how the Board, through delegation of authority to committees and executive officers, establishes risk appetite and associated limits for our activities.
Our Risk Appetite Statement is intended to ensure that the Corporation maintains an acceptable risk profile by providing a common framework and a comparable set of measures for senior management and the Board to clearly indicate the level of risk the Corporation is willing to accept. Risk appetite is set at least annually and is aligned with the Corporation'sCorporation’s strategic, capital and financial operating plans. Our line of businessline-of-business strategies and risk appetite are also similarly aligned.
For more information about the Corporation's risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic, see Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors on page 105. These COVID-19 related risks are being managed within our Risk Framework and supporting risk management programs.
For more information on our Risk Framework, our risk management activities including our Risk Framework, and the key types of risk faced by the Corporation, see the Managing Risk through Reputational Risk sections in the MD&Aof the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K.


Capital Management
The Corporation manages its capital position so that its capital is more than adequate to support its business activities and to maintain capital,aligns with risk, and risk appetite commensurate with one another. Additionally, we seek to maintain safety and soundness at all times, even under adverse scenarios, take advantage of organic growth opportunities, meet obligations to creditors and counterparties, maintain ready access to financial markets, continue to serve as a credit intermediary, remain a source of strength for our subsidiaries, and satisfy current and future regulatory capital requirements. Capital management is integrated into our risk and governance processes, as capital is a key consideration in the development of our strategic plan, risk appetite and risk limits.strategic planning. For more information on capital management, including related regulatory requirements, see Capital Management in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We periodically review capital allocated to our businesses and allocate capital annually during the strategic and capital planning processes. For additional information, see Business Segment Operations on page 14.
Comprehensive Capital Analysis and ReviewCCAR and Capital Planning
The Federal Reserve requires BHCs to submit a capital plan and requests forplanned capital actions on an annual basis, consistent with the rules governing the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR)CCAR capital plan.
On In June 28, 2017, following2020, the Federal Reserve's non-objectionReserve notified BHCs of their 2020 CCAR supervisory stress test results, which included a preliminary stress capital buffer (SCB) that was finalized in August 2020. Based on our results, we are subject to a 2.5 percent SCB for the period beginning October 1, 2020 and ending on September 30, 2021. Our Common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio under the Standardized approach must remain above 9.5 percent during this period (the sum of our 2017 CCARCET1 capital plan,ratio minimum of 4.5 percent, global systemically important bank (G-SIB) surcharge of 2.5 percent and our SCB of 2.5 percent) in order to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments.
Due to economic uncertainty resulting from the Board authorizedCOVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve required all large banks to suspend share repurchase programs in the third quarter of $12.9 billion in common stock from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, including approximately $900 million2020, except for repurchases to offset the effect ofshares awarded under equity-based compensation plans, duringand to limit dividends to existing rates that do not exceed the same period.average of the last four quarters’ net income. In September 2020, the Federal Reserve announced that these measures would remain in place for the fourth quarter of 2020. Large banks will also be required to update and resubmit their capital plans in November 2020 based on the Federal Reserve’s updated supervisory stress test scenarios. The Federal Reserve announced that it will publish the results of the additional supervisory stress tests by December 31, 2020.
As previously disclosed, the Federal Reserve’s directives regarding share repurchases aligned with our decision to voluntarily suspend our general common stock repurchase authorization includes bothprogram during the first half of 2020. The suspension of our repurchases did not include repurchases to offset shares awarded under our equity-based compensation plans, for which we repurchased $114 million of common stock and warrants.
Duringduring the three months ended September 30, 2017,third quarter of 2020 pursuant to the Board's authorization, we repurchased $3.0 billionBoard’s repurchase authorization.

We will also continue our current suspension of common stock repurchases in the fourth quarter of 2020, except for repurchases to offset shares awarded under our equity-based compensation plans, which includeshave previously been authorized by the Board.

Regulatory Capital
As a financial services holding company, we are subject to regulatory capital rules, including Basel 3, issued by U.S. banking regulators including Basel 3, which includes certain transition provisions through January 1, 2019.regulators. The Corporation's depository institution subsidiaries are also subject to the Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework. The Corporation and its primary affiliated banking entity, BANA, are Advanced approaches institutions under Basel 3 Advanced approaches institutions.
Basel 3 Overview
Basel 3 updated the composition of capital and established a Common equity tier 1 capital ratio. Common equity tier 1 capital primarily includes common stock, retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI), net of deductions and adjustments primarily related to goodwill, deferred tax assets, intangibles and defined benefit pension assets. Under the Basel 3 regulatory capital transition provisions, certain deductions and adjustments to Common equity tier 1 capital are phased in through January 1, 2018. As of January 1, 2017, under the transition provisions, 80 percent of these deductions and adjustments was recognized. Basel 3 also revised minimum capital ratios and buffer requirements, added a supplementary leverage ratio (SLR), and addressed the adequately capitalized minimum requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework. Finally, Basel 3 established two methods of calculating risk-weighted assets, the Standardized approach and the Advanced approaches. The Standardized approach relies primarily on supervisory risk weights based on exposure type, and the Advanced approaches determine risk weights based on internal models.
As an Advanced approaches institution, we are required to report regulatory risk-based capital ratios and risk-weighted assets (RWA) under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches. The approach that yields the lower ratio is used to assess capital adequacy including under the PCA framework. As of September 30, 2020, the CET1, Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios for the Corporation were lower under the Standardized approach.
Minimum Capital Requirements
MinimumIn order to avoid restrictions on capital requirementsdistributions and related buffers are being phased in from January 1, 2014 through January 1, 2019. The PCA framework establishes categories of capitalization including “well capitalized,” based ondiscretionary bonus payments, the Basel 3 regulatory ratio requirements. U.S. banking regulators are required to take certain mandatory actions depending on the category of capitalization, with no mandatory actions required for “well-capitalized” banking organizations, which included BANA at September 30, 2017.
We are subject to a capital conservation buffer, a countercyclical capital buffer and a global systemically important
bank (G-SIB) surcharge that are being phased in over a three-year period ending January 1, 2019. Once fully phased in, the Corporation’sCorporation must meet risk-based capital ratio requirements willthat include a capital conservation buffer greater than 2.5 percent, plus any
applicable countercyclical capital buffer and a G-SIB surcharge in order to avoid restrictions onsurcharge. On October 1, 2020, the capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments.conservation buffer was replaced by the SCB for the Corporation’s Standardized approach ratio requirements. The buffers and surcharge must be comprised solely of Common equity tier 1CET1 capital. Under the phase-in provisions, we were required to maintain a capital conservation buffer greater than 1.25 percent plus a G-SIB surcharge of 1.5 percent at September 30, 2017.
The countercyclical capital bufferCorporation is currently set at zero. We estimate that our fully phased-in G-SIB surcharge will be 2.5 percent. The G-SIB surcharge may differ from this estimate over time. For more information on the Corporation's transition and fully phased-in capital ratios and regulatory requirements, see Table 11.
Supplementary Leverage Ratio
Basel 3 requires Advanced approaches institutions to disclose an SLR. The numerator of the SLR is quarter-end Basel 3 Tier 1 capital. The denominator is total leverage exposure based on the daily average of the sum of on-balance sheet exposures less permitted Tier 1 deductions, as well as the simple average of certain off-balance sheet exposures, as of the end of each month in a quarter. Effective January 1, 2018, the Corporation will bealso required to maintain a minimum SLRsupplementary leverage ratio (SLR) of 3.0 percent plus a leverage buffer of 2.0 percent in order to avoid certain restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. InsuredOur insured depository institution subsidiaries of BHCs will beare required to maintain a minimum 6.0 percent SLR to be considered "well capitalized"well capitalized under the PCA framework.

As an Advanced approaches institution, we are required to report regulatory capital risk-weighted assets and ratios under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches. The approach that yields the lower ratio is to be used to assess capital adequacy and was the Advanced approaches method at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
(2)
The September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 amounts include a transition capital conservation buffer of 1.25 percent and 0.625 percent, and a transition G-SIB surcharge of 1.5 percent and 0.75 percent. The countercyclical capital buffer for both periods is zero.

As of September 30, 2017, we did not have regulatory approval of the IMM model. Basel 3 fully phased-in Common equity tier 1 capital ratio would be reduced by approximately 25 bps if IMM is not used.
(4)
Fully phased-in regulatory minimums assume a capital conservation buffer of 2.5 percent and estimated G-SIB surcharge of 2.5 percent. The estimated fully phased-in countercyclical capital buffer is currently set at zero. We will be subject to fully phased-in regulatory minimums on January 1, 2019. The fully phased-in SLR minimum assumes a leverage buffer of 2.0 percent and is applicable on January 1, 2018.

Total capital under the Advanced approaches differs from the Standardized approach due to differences in the amount permitted in Tier 2 capital related to the qualifying allowance for credit losses.

Regulatory Developments
Minimum Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity
The Federal Reserve has established a final rule effective January 1, 2019, which includes minimum external total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) requirements to improvefollowing supplements the resolvability and resiliency of large, interconnected BHCs. We estimate our minimum required external TLAC would be the greater of 22.5 percent of risk-weighted assets or 9.5 percent of SLR leverage exposure. In addition, U.S. G-SIBs must meet a minimum long-term debt requirement. Our minimum required long-term debt is estimated to be the greater of 8.5 percent of risk-weighted assets or 4.5 percent of SLR leverage exposure. As of September 30, 2017, the Corporation's TLAC and long-term debt exceeded our estimated 2019 minimum requirements.
Revisions to Approaches for Measuring Risk-weighted Assets
The Basel Committee has several open proposals to revise key methodologies for measuring risk-weighted assets. The proposals include a standardized approach for credit risk, standardized approach for operational risk, revisions to the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risk framework and constraints on the use of internal models. The Basel Committee has also finalized a revised standardized model for counterparty credit risk, revisions to the securitization framework and its fundamental review of the trading book, which updates both modeled and standardized approaches for market risk measurement. These revisions are to be coupled with a proposed capital floor framework to limit the extent to which banks can reduce risk-weighted asset levels through the use of internal models, both at the input parameter and aggregate risk-weighted asset level. After the outstanding proposals are finalized by the Basel Committee, U.S. banking regulators may update the U.S. Basel 3 rules to incorporate the Basel Committee revisions.
Revisions to the G-SIB Assessment Framework
On March 30, 2017, the Basel Committee issued a consultative document with proposed revisions to the G-SIB surcharge assessment framework. The proposed revisions would include removing the cap on the substitutability category, expanding the scope of consolidation to include insurance subsidiariesdisclosure in three categories (size, interconnectedness and complexity) and modifying the substitutability category weights with the
introduction of a new trading volume indicator. The Basel Committee has also requested feedback on a new short-term wholesale funding indicator, which would be included in the interconnectedness category. The U.S. banking regulators may update the U.S. G-SIB surcharge rule to incorporate the Basel Committee revisions.

Broker-dealer Deduction of Unsecured Debt of G-SIBs
On October 20, 2020, the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (U.S. Agencies) finalized a rule requiring Advanced approaches institutions to deduct from regulatory capital certain investments in TLAC-eligible long-term debt and other pari passu or subordinated debt instruments issued by G-SIBs above a specified threshold. The final rule is intended to limit the interconnectedness between G-SIBs and is complementary to existing regulatory capital requirements that generally require banks to deduct investments in the regulatory capital of financial institutions. The final rule is effective April 1, 2021. The impact to the Corporation is not expected to be significant.

Liquidity Risk
Funding and Liquidity Risk Management
Our primary liquidity risk management objective is to meet expected or unexpected cash flow and collateral needs while continuing to support our businesses and customers under a range of economic conditions. To achieve that objective, we analyze and monitor our liquidity risk under expected and stressed conditions, maintain liquidity and access to diverse funding sources, including our stable deposit base, and seek to align liquidity-related incentives and risks. These liquidity risk management practices have allowed us to effectively manage the market stress that began in the first quarter of 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information on the effects of

the pandemic, see Executive Summary - Recent Developments – COVID-19 Pandemic on page 3.
We define liquidity as readily available assets, limited to cash and high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities that we can use to meet our contractual and contingent financial obligations as those obligations arise. We manage our liquidity position through line of businessline-of-business and ALM activities, as well as through our legal entity funding strategy, on both a forward and current (including intraday) basis under both expected and stressed conditions. We believe that a centralized approach to funding and liquidity management enhances our ability to monitor liquidity requirements, maximizes access to funding sources, minimizes borrowing costs and facilitates timely responses to liquidity events. For more information regarding global funding and liquidity risk management, as well as liquidity sources, liquidity arrangements, contingency planning and credit ratings discussed below, see Liquidity Risk – Time-to-required Funding and Liquidity Stress Analysis in the MD&A of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
NB Holdings Corporation
In 2016, we entered intoWe have intercompany arrangements with certain key subsidiaries under which we transferred certain assets of ourBank of America Corporation, as the parent company, assets,which is a separate and distinct legal entity from our banking and nonbank subsidiaries, and agreed to transfer certain additional parent company assets not needed to satisfy anticipated near-termnear term expenditures, to NB Holdings Corporation, a wholly-owned holding company subsidiary (NB Holdings). The parent company is expected to continue to have access to the same flow of dividends, interest and other amounts of cash necessary to service its debt, pay dividends and perform other obligations as it would have had if it had not entered into these arrangements and transferred any assets.
In consideration for the transfer of assets, NB Holdings issued a subordinated note to the parent company in a principal amount equal to the value of the transferred assets. The aggregate principal amount of the note will increase by the amount of any future asset transfers. NB Holdings also provided the parent company with a committed line of credit that allows the parent company to draw funds necessary to service near-term cash needs. These arrangements support our preferred single point of entry resolution strategy, under which only the parent company would be resolved under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These arrangements include provisions to terminate the line of credit, forgive the subordinated note and require the parent company to transfer its remaining financial assets to NB Holdings if our projected liquidity resources deteriorate so severely that resolution of the parent company becomes imminent.

We maintain liquidity available to the Corporation, including the parent company and selected subsidiaries, in the form of cash and high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities. Our liquidity buffer, referred to as Global Liquidity Sources (GLS), is comprised of assets that are readily available to the parent company and selected subsidiaries, including holding company, bank and broker-
dealer subsidiaries, even during stressed market conditions. Our cash is primarily on deposit with the Federal Reserve and, to a lesser extent, central banks outside of the U.S. We limit the composition of high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities to U.S. government securities, U.S. agency securities, U.S. agency MBS and a select group of non-U.S. government securities. We can quickly obtain cash for these securities, even in stressed conditions, through repurchase agreements or outright sales. We hold our GLS in legal entities that allow us to meet the liquidity requirements of our global businesses, and we consider the impact of potential regulatory, tax, legal and other restrictions that could limit the transferability of funds among entities.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our average GLS were $517 billion and $515 billion, and were as shown in Table 17.

Parent company and NB Holdings average liquidity was $85 billion and $77 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The increase in parent company and NB Holdings liquidity was primarily due to debt issuances outpacing maturities. Typically, parent company and NB Holdings liquidity is in the form of cash deposited with BANA.
Average liquidity held at our bank subsidiaries was $381 billion and $389 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Our bank subsidiaries'subsidiaries’ liquidity is primarily driven by deposit and lending activity, as well as securities valuation and net debt activity. Liquidity at bank subsidiaries excludes the cash deposited by the parent company and NB Holdings. Our bank subsidiaries can also generate incremental liquidity by pledging a range of unencumbered loans and securities to certain Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) and the Federal Reserve
Discount Window. The cash we could have obtained by borrowing against this pool of specifically-identified eligible assets was $304$320 billion and $310$372 billion at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016, with the decrease due to FHLB borrowings, which reduced available borrowing capacity, and adjustments to our valuation model.2019. We have established operational procedures to enable us to borrow against these assets, including regularly monitoring our total pool of eligible loans and securities collateral. Eligibility is defined in guidelines from the FHLBs and the Federal Reserve and is subject to change at their discretion. Due to regulatory restrictions, liquidity generated by the bank subsidiaries can generally be used only to fund obligations within the bank subsidiaries, and transfers to the parent company or nonbank subsidiaries may be subject to prior regulatory approval.
Average liquidityLiquidity held at ourin other regulated entities, comprised primarily of broker-dealer subsidiaries, was $51 billion and $49 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Our other regulated entities also held unencumbered investment-grade securities and equities that we believe could be used to generate additional liquidity. Liquidity held in an other regulated entity is primarily available to meet the

35Bank of America




obligations of that entity, and transfers to the parent company or to any other subsidiary may be subject to prior regulatory approval due to regulatory restrictions and minimum requirements. Our other regulated entities also hold unencumbered investment-grade securities and equities that we believe could be used to generate additional liquidity.

Our GLS are substantially the same in composition to what qualifies as High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) under the final U.S. Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) rules. However, HQLA for purposes of calculating LCR is not reported at market value, but at a lower value that incorporates regulatory deductions and the exclusion of excess liquidity held at certain subsidiaries. The LCR is calculated as the amount of a financial institution’s unencumbered HQLA relative to the estimated net cash outflows the institution could encounter over a 30-day period of significant liquidity stress, expressed as a percentage. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, ourOur average consolidated HQLA, on a net basis, was $439$562 billion and $464 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. For the same periods, the average consolidated Corporation's average LCR was 126122 percent and 116 percent. Our LCR will fluctuatefluctuates due to normal business flows from customer activity.
Time-to-required Funding and Liquidity Stress Analysis
We use a variety of metrics to determine the appropriate amounts of liquidity to maintain at the parent company and our subsidiaries. One metric we use to evaluate the appropriate level of liquidity at the parent company and NB Holdings is “time-to-required funding (TTF).” This debt coverage measure indicates the number of months the parent company can continue to meet its unsecured contractual obligations as they come due using only the parent company and NB Holdings' liquidity sources without issuing any new debt or accessing any additional liquidity sources. We define unsecured contractual obligations for purposes of this metric as maturities of senior or subordinated debt issued or guaranteed by Bank of America Corporation. These include certain unsecured debt instruments, primarily structured liabilities, which we may be required to settle for cash prior to maturity. TTF was 52 months at September 30, 2017 compared to 35 months at December 31, 2016. The increase in TTF was driven by debt issuances outpacing maturities.
We also utilize liquidity stress analysis to assist us in determining the appropriate amounts of liquidity to maintain at the parent company and our subsidiaries. The liquidity stress testing process is an integral part of analyzing our potential contractual and contingent cash outflows. We evaluate the liquidity requirements under a range of scenarios with varying levels of severity and time horizons. The scenarios we consider and utilize incorporate market-wide and Corporation-specific events, including potential credit rating downgrades for the parent company and our subsidiaries and more severe events including potential resolution scenarios. The scenarios are based on our historical experience, experience of distressed and failed financial
institutions, regulatory guidance, and both expected and unexpected future events.
The types of potentialto meet contractual and contingent cash outflows we considerunder a range of scenarios. For more information on our liquidity stress analysis, see Liquidity Risk – Liquidity Stress Analysis in our scenarios may include, but are not limited to, upcoming contractual maturitiesthe MD&A of unsecured debt and reductions in new debt issuance; diminished access to secured financing markets; potential deposit withdrawals; increased drawsthe Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on loan commitments, liquidity facilities and letters of credit; additional collateral that counterparties could call if our credit ratings were downgraded; collateral and margin requirements arising from market value changes; and potential liquidity required to maintain businesses and finance customer activities. Changes in certain market factors, including, but not limited to, credit rating downgrades, could negatively impact potential contractual and contingent outflows and the related financial instruments, and in some cases these impacts could be material to our financial results.Form 10-K.
We consider all sources of funds that we could access during each stress scenario and focus particularly on matching available sources with corresponding liquidity requirements by legal entity. We also use the stress modeling results to manage our asset and liability profile and establish limits and guidelines on certain funding sources and businesses.

Net Stable Funding Ratio Final Rule
On October 20, 2020, the U.S. banking regulators have issued a proposal for aAgencies finalized the Net Stable Funding Ratio, (NSFR) requirement applicablea rule requiring large banks to U.S. financial institutions followingmaintain a minimum level of stable funding over a one-year period. The final rule is intended to support the Basel Committee'sability of banks to lend to households and businesses in both normal and adverse economic conditions and is complementary to the LCR rule, which focuses on short-term liquidity risks. The final standard.rule is effective July 1, 2021. The U.S. NSFR would applyimpact to the Corporation on a consolidated basis andis not expected to our insured depository institutions beginning on January 1, 2018, if finalized as proposed. We expect to meet the NSFR requirement within the regulatory timeline. The standard is intended to reduce funding risk over a longer time horizon. The NSFR is designed to ensure an appropriate amount of stable funding, generally capital and liabilities maturing beyond one year, given the mix of assets and off-balance sheet items.be significant.
Diversified Funding Sources
We fund our assets primarily with a mix of deposits, and secured and unsecured liabilities through a centralized, globally coordinated funding approach diversified across products, programs, markets, currencies and investor groups.
The primary benefits of our centralized funding approach include greater control, reduced funding costs, wider name recognition by investors and greater flexibility to meet the variable funding requirements of subsidiaries. Where regulations, time zone differences or other business considerations make parent company funding impractical, certain other subsidiaries may issue their own debt.
We fund a substantial portion of our lending activities through our deposits, which were $1.28$1.70 trillion and $1.26$1.43 trillion at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016. Deposits are primarily generated by our Consumer Banking, GWIM and Global Banking segments. These deposits are diversified by clients, product type and geography, and the majority of our U.S. deposits are insured by the FDIC. We consider a substantial portion of our deposits to be a stable, low-cost and consistent source of funding. We believe this deposit funding is generally less sensitive to interest rate changes, market volatility or changes in our credit ratings than wholesale funding sources. Our lending activities may also be financed through secured borrowings, including credit card securitizations and securitizations with government-sponsored

enterprises, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and private-label investors, as well as FHLB loans.
Our trading activities in other regulated entities are primarily funded on a secured basis through securities lending and repurchase agreements, and these amounts will vary based on customer activity and market conditions. We believe funding these activities in the secured financing markets is more cost-efficient and less sensitive to changes in our credit ratings than unsecured financing. Repurchase agreements are generally short-term and often overnight. Disruptions in secured financing markets for financial institutions have occurred in prior market cycles which resulted in adverse changes in terms or significant reductions in the availability of such financing. We manage the liquidity risks arising from secured funding by sourcing funding globally from a diverse group of counterparties, providing a range of securities collateral and pursuing longer durations, when appropriate. For more information on secured financing agreements, see Note 9 – Federal Funds Sold or Purchased, Securities Financing Agreements and Short-term Borrowingsto the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We issue long-term unsecured debt in a variety of maturities and currencies to achieve cost-efficient funding and to maintain an appropriate maturity profile. While the cost and availability of unsecured funding may be negatively impacted by general market conditions or by matters specific to the financial services industry or the Corporation, we seek to mitigate refinancing risk by actively managing the amount of our borrowings that we anticipate will mature within any month or quarter.Long-term Debt

Total long-term debt increased $11.8 billion, or five percent, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020 primarily due to debt issuances outpacing maturities.and valuation adjustments, partially offset by maturities and redemptions. We may, from time to time, purchase outstanding debt instruments in various transactions, depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity and other factors. In addition, ourOur other regulated entities may also make markets in our debt instruments to provide liquidity for investors. For information on funding and liquidity risk management, see Liquidity Risk – Time-to-required Funding and Liquidity Stress Analysisin the MD&A of the Corporation's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and for information regarding long-term debt funding, see Note 11 – Long-term Debtto the Consolidated Financial Statementsof the Corporation's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We use derivative transactions to manage the duration, interest rate and currency risks of our borrowings, considering the characteristics of the assets they are funding. For more information on our ALM activities, see Interest Rate Risk Management for the Banking Book on page 63.48.

We may also issue unsecured debt in the form of structured notes for client purposes, certain of which qualify as TLAC eligibleTLAC-eligible debt. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, we issued $1.6 billion and $3.9$6.1 billion of structured notes, which are unsecured debt obligations that pay investors returns linked to other debt or equity securities, indices, currencies or commodities. We typically hedge the returns we are obligated to
pay on these liabilities with derivatives and/or investments in the underlying instruments, so that from a funding perspective, the cost is similar to our other unsecured long-term debt. We could be required to settle certain structured note obligations for cash or other securities prior to maturity under certain circumstances, which we consider for liquidity planning purposes. We believe, however, that a portion of such borrowings will remain outstanding beyond the earliest put or redemption date.
Substantially all of our senior and subordinated debt obligations contain no provisions that could trigger a requirement for an early repayment, require additional collateral support, result in changes to terms, accelerate maturity or create additional financial obligations upon an adverse change in our credit ratings, financial ratios, earnings, cash flows or stock price. For more information on long-term debt funding, including issuances and maturities and redemptions, see Note 12 – Long-term Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statementsof the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Contingency Planning
We maintain contingency funding plans that outline our potential responses to liquidity stress events at various levels of severity. These policies and plans are based on stress scenarios and include potential funding strategies and communication and notification procedures that we would implement in the event we experienced stressed liquidity conditions. We periodically review and test the contingency funding plans to validate efficacy and assess readiness.
Our U.S. bank subsidiaries can access contingency funding through the Federal Reserve Discount Window. Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries have access to central bank facilities in the jurisdictions in which they operate. While we do not rely on these sources in our liquidity modeling, we maintain the policies, procedures and governance processes that would enable us to access these sources if necessary.

Credit Ratings
Credit ratings and outlooks are opinions expressed by rating agencies on our creditworthiness and that of our obligations or securities, including long-term debt, short-term borrowings, preferred stock and other securities, including asset securitizations. Table 2116 presents the Corporation'sCorporation’s current long-term/short-term senior debt ratings and outlooks expressed by the rating agencies.
On September 28, 2017,The ratings and outlooks from Fitch Ratings (Fitch) completed its latest review of 12 large, complex securities trading and universal banks, including Bank of America. The agency affirmed the long-term and short-term senior debt ratings offor the Corporation and its rated subsidiaries including BANA, and maintained its stable outlook on those ratings.
On September 12, 2017, Moody’s Investor Service (Moody’s) placed the long-term ratings of the Corporation and its rated subsidiaries, including BANA, on review for upgrade, citing our improved profitability and commitment to a conservative risk profile as drivers of the review. A rating review indicates that those ratings are under consideration for a change in the near term, which typically concludes within 90 days. Moody’s concurrently affirmed the short-term ratings of the Corporation and its rated subsidiaries.
The ratings from Standard & Poor's Global Ratings (S&P) have not changed from those disclosed in the Corporation’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The ratings and outlooks
from Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) and Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings for the Corporation and its subsidiaries did not change from those disclosed in the Corporation's 20162019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Consumer Portfolio Credit Risk Management
Credit risk management for the consumer portfolio begins with initial underwriting and continues throughout a borrower’s credit cycle. Statistical techniques in conjunction with experiential judgment are used in all aspects of portfolio management including underwriting, product pricing, risk appetite, setting credit limits, and establishing operating processes and metrics to quantify and balance risks and returns. Statistical models are built using detailed behavioral information from external sources such as credit bureaus and/or internal historical experience and are a component of our consumer credit risk management process. These models are used in part to assist in making both new and ongoing credit decisions, as well as portfolio management strategies, including authorizations and line management, collection practices and strategies, and determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and allocated capital for credit risk.

Table 2519 presents outstandings, nonperforming balances, net charge-offs, allowance for loan and leasecredit losses and provision for
loan and lease credit losses for the core and non-core portfolios within the consumer real estate portfolio. We categorize consumer real estate loans as core and non-core based on loan and customer characteristics such as origination date, product type, LTV, FICOFair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score and delinquency status consistent with our current consumer and mortgage servicing strategy. Generally, loans that were originated after January 1, 2010, qualified under government-sponsored enterprise underwriting guidelines, or otherwise met our underwriting
guidelines in place in 2015 are characterized as core loans. Loans held in legacy private-label securitizations, government-insuredAll other loans originated prior to 2010, loan products no longer originated, and loans originated prior to 2010 and classified as nonperforming or modified in a TDR prior to 2016 are generally characterized as non-core loans and are principally run-offrepresent runoff portfolios. Core loans as reported in Table 2519 include loans held in the Consumer Banking and GWIM segments, as well as loans held for ALM activities in All Other. For more information on core and non-core loans, see Note 4 – Outstanding Loans and Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We believe that the presentation of information adjusted to exclude the impact of the PCI loan portfolio, the fully-insured loan portfolio and loans accounted for under the fair value option is more representative of the ongoing operations and credit quality of the business. As a result, in the following tables and discussions of the residential mortgage and home equity portfolios, we exclude loans accounted for under the fair value option and provide information that excludes the impact of the PCI loan portfolio, the fully-insured loan portfolio and loans accounted for under the fair value option in certain credit quality statistics. We separately disclose information on the PCI loan portfolio on page 45.

These decreases in net charge-offs were primarily driven by net2019. This increase is due largely to lower recoveries from the sales of $88 million and $102 million related to loan sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to loan sale-related net recoveries of $7 million and net charge-offs of $35 million for the same periods in 2016. Additionally, net charge-offs declined due to favorable portfolio trends and decreased write-downs on loans greater than 180 days past due driven by improvement in home prices and the U.S. economy.
Loans with a refreshed LTV greater than 100 percent represented two percent and three percent of the residential mortgage loan portfolio at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Of the loans with a refreshed LTV greater than 100 percent, 99 percent and 98 percent were performing at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Loans with a refreshed LTV
greater than 100 percent reflect loans where the outstanding carrying value of the loan is greater than the most recent valuation of the property securing the loan. The majority of these loans have a refreshed LTV greater than 100 percent primarily due to home price deterioration since 2006, partially offset by subsequent appreciation.previously charged-off loans.
Of the $166.3$221.0 billion in total residential mortgage loans outstanding at September 30, 2017,2020, as shown in Table 20, 27 34 percent were originated as interest-only loans. The outstanding balance of interest-only residential mortgage loans that have entered the amortization period was $10.5$6.3 billion, or 1811 percent, at September 30, 2017.2020. Residential mortgage loans that have entered the amortization period generally have experienced a higher rate of early stage delinquencies and nonperforming status compared to the residential mortgage portfolio as a

Home Equity
At September 30, 2017,2020, the home equity portfolio made up 13eight percent of the consumer portfolio and iswas comprised of home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), home equity loans and reverse mortgages. We no longer originate home equity loans or reverse mortgages.
At September 30, 2017,2020, our HELOC portfolio had an outstanding balance of $52.8$34.2 billion, or 8894 percent of the total home equity portfolio, compared to $58.6$37.5 billion, also 88or 93 percent, at December 31, 2016.2019. HELOCs generally have an initial draw period of 10 years, and the borrowers typically are only required to pay the interest due on the loans on a monthly basis. Afterafter the initial draw period ends, the loans generally convert to 15-year15- or 20-year amortizing loans.
At September 30, 2017,2020 and December 31, 2019, our home equity loan portfolio had an outstanding balance of $4.7$974 million and $1.2 billion, or eightthree percent, of the total home equity portfolio. At September 30, 2020, our reverse mortgage portfolio had an outstanding balance of $1.3 billion, or three percent of the total home equity portfolio, compared to $5.9$1.5 billion, or ninefour percent, at December 31, 2016. Home equity loans are almost all fixed-rate loans with amortizing payment terms of 10 to 30 years and of the $4.7 billion at September 30, 2017, 57 percent have 25- to 30-year terms. 2019.
At September 30, 2017, our reverse mortgage portfolio had an outstanding balance, excluding loans accounted for under the fair value option, of $2.2 billion, or four percent of the total home equity portfolio compared to $1.9 billion, or three percent, at December 31, 2016. We no longer originate reverse mortgages.
At September 30, 2017, approximately 692020, 80 percent of the home equity portfolio was in Consumer Banking, 2412 percent was in All Other and the remainder of the portfolio was primarily in GWIM. Outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio excluding loans accounted for under the fair value option, decreased $6.7$3.7 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 primarily due to paydowns and charge-offs outpacing new originations and draws on existing lines. Of the total home equity portfolio at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016, $19.0 billion and $19.62019, $14.3 billion, or 3239 percent, and 29$15.0 billion, or 37 percent, were in first-lien positions (33 percent and 31 percent excluding the PCI home equity portfolio).positions. At September 30, 2017,2020, outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio that were in a second-lien or more junior-lien position and where we also held the first-lien loan totaled $9.8$6.3 billion, or 17 percent, of our total home equity portfolio excluding the PCI loan portfolio.
Unused HELOCs totaled $45.4$43.5 billion and $43.6 billion at September 30, 2017 compared to $47.2 billion at2020 and December 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to accounts reaching the end of their draw period, which automatically eliminates open line exposure, and customers choosing to close accounts. Both of these more than offset the impact of new production.2019.

(4)These vintages of loans accounted for 36 percent and 34 percent of nonperforming home equity loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Nonperforming outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio increased $104 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily driven by loans with deferrals that expired and have subsequently become nonperforming. Of the nonperforming home equity loans at September 30, 2020, $262 million, or 41 percent, were current on contractual payments. In addition, $713$223 million, or 2635 percent, of nonperforming home equity loans were 180 days or more past due and had been written down to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell. Accruing loans that were 30 days or more past due increased $15decreased $3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
In some cases, the junior-lien home equity outstanding balance that we hold is performing, but the underlying first-lien is not. For outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio on which we service the first-lien loan, we are able to track whether the first-lien loan is in default. For loans where the first-lien is serviced by a third party, we utilize credit bureau data to estimate the delinquency status of the first-lien. Given that the credit bureau database we use does not include a property address for the mortgages, we are unable to identify with certainty whether a reported delinquent first-lien mortgage pertains to the same property for which we hold a junior-lien loan. For certain loans, we
utilize a third-party vendor to combine credit bureau and public record data to better link a junior-lien loan with the underlying first-lien mortgage. At September 30, 2017, we estimate that $856 million of current and $151 million of 30 to 89 days past due junior-lien loans were behind a delinquent first-lien loan. We service the first-lien loans on $191 million of these combined amounts, with the remaining $816 million serviced by third parties. Of the $1.0 billion of current to 89 days past due junior-lien loans, based on available credit bureau data and our own internal servicing data, we estimate that approximately $336 million had first-lien loans that were 90 days or more past due.2020.
Net charge-offs decreased $14increased $182 million to $83a net recovery of $20 million, and decreased $138$301 million to $197a net recovery of $45 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 compared to the same periods in 2016. These decreases in net charge-offs were driven by favorable portfolio trends due in part to improvement in home prices and2019 as the U.S. economy, partially offset by $32 million of charge-offs as a result of clarifying regulatory guidance related to bankruptcy loans.
Outstanding balances with a refreshed CLTV greater than 100 percent comprised five percent and seven percent of the home equity portfolio at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Outstanding balances in the home equity portfolio with a refreshed CLTV greater than 100 percent reflect loans where our loan and available line of credit combined with any outstanding senior liens against the property are equal to or greater than the most recent valuation of the property securing the loan. Depending on the value of the property, there may be collateral in excess of the first-lien that is available to reduce the severity of loss on the second-lien.

Of the $56.8$36.5 billion in total home equity portfolio outstandings at September 30, 2017,2020, as shown in Table 29, 3522, 15 percent require interest-only payments. The outstanding balance of HELOCs that have reached the end of their draw period and have entered the amortization period was $17.8$9.9 billion at September 30, 2017.2020. The HELOCs that have entered the
amortization period have experienced a higher percentage of early stage delinquencies and nonperforming status when compared to the HELOC portfolio as a whole. At September 30, 2017, $3792020, $145 million, or twoone percent of outstanding HELOCs that had entered the amortization period were accruing past due 30 days or more. In addition, at September 30, 2017, $2.0 billion,2020, $473 million, or 11five percent, of outstanding HELOCswere nonperforming. Loans that have yet to enter the amortization period in our interest-only portfolio are primarily post-2008 vintages and generally have better credit quality than the previous vintages that had entered the amortization period were nonperforming, of which $1.1 billion were contractually current. Loans in our HELOC portfolio generally have an initial draw period of 10 years and 16 percent of these loans will enter the amortization period through 2018 and will be required to make fully-amortizing payments.period. We communicate to contractually current customers more than a year prior to the end of their draw period to inform them of the potential change to the payment structure before entering the amortization period, and provide payment options to customers prior to the end of the draw period.
Although we do not actively track how many of our home equity customers pay only the minimum amount due on their home equity loans and lines, we can infer some of this information through a review of our HELOC portfolio that we service and that is still in its revolving period (i.e., customers may draw on and repay their line of credit, but are generally only required to pay interest on a monthly basis).period. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, approximately 352020, 17 percent of these customers with an outstanding balance did not pay any principal on their HELOCs.

Net charge-offs increased $33 million to $67 million, and $56 million to $147 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 due largely to recent clarifying regulatory guidance related to bankruptcy and repossessed loans.

Nonperforming Consumer Loans, Leases and Foreclosed Properties Activity
Table 3326 presents nonperforming consumer loans, leases and foreclosed properties activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016. For more information on nonperforming loans, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 4 – Outstanding Loans and Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements.2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, nonperforming consumer loans declined $752increased $304 million to $5.3$2.4 billion primarily driven in part by loan salesloans with deferrals that expired and have subsequently become nonperforming, as well as the inclusion of $423$137 million of certain loans that were previously classified as purchased credit-impaired loans and net transfers of loans to held-for-sale of $198 million. Additionally, nonperforming loans declined as outflows outpaced new inflows, which included the addition of $295accounted for under a pool basis.
At September 30, 2020, $791 million, or 34 percent of nonperforming loans as a result of clarifying regulatory guidance related to bankruptcy loans.
The outstanding balance of a real estate-secured loan that is in excess of the estimated property value less costs to sell is charged off no later than the end of the month in which the loan becomeswere 180 days or more past due unless repayment of the loan is fully insured. At September 30, 2017, $1.9 billion, or 35 percent of nonperforming consumer real estate loans and foreclosed properties had been written down to their estimated property value less costs to sell, including $1.7 billion of nonperforming loans 180 days or more past due and $259 million of foreclosed
properties.sell. In addition, at September 30, 2017, $2.3 billion,2020, $831 million, or 4535 percent of nonperforming consumer loans were modified and
are now current after successful trial periods, or are current loans classified as nonperforming loans in accordance with applicable policies.
Foreclosed properties decreased $104$94 million during the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 to $135 million as liquidations outpaced additions. PCI loans are excluded from nonperforming loans as these loans were written down to fair value at the acquisition date; however, once we acquire the underlying real estate upon foreclosure of the delinquent PCI loan, it is included in foreclosed properties. Not included in foreclosed properties at September 30, 2017 was $879 million of real estate that was acquired upon foreclosure of certain delinquent government-guaranteed loans (principally FHA-insured loans). We exclude these amounts from our nonperforming loans and foreclosed properties activity as we expect we will be reimbursed once the property is conveyed to the guarantor for principal and, up to certain limits, costs incurred during the foreclosure process and interest accrued during the holding period.
Nonperforming loans also include certain loans that have been modified in TDRs where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. CertainNonperforming TDRs are classified as nonperforming atincluded in Table 26.

In addition to modifying consumer real estate loans, we work with customers who are experiencing financial difficulty by modifying credit card and other consumer loans. Credit card and other consumer loan modifications generally involve a reduction in the customer’s interest rate on the account and placing the customer on a fixed payment plan not exceeding 60 months, all of which are considered TDRs (the renegotiated TDR portfolio).months.
Modifications of credit card and other consumer loans are made through renegotiation programs utilizing direct customer contact, but may also utilize external renegotiation programs. The renegotiated TDR portfolio is excluded in large part from Table 33 as substantially all of the loans remain on accrual status until either charged off or paid in full. At September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, our renegotiatedcredit card and other consumer TDR portfolio was $485$699 million and $610$679 million, of which $428$624 million and $493$570 million were current or less than 30 days past due under the modified terms. The decline in the renegotiated TDR portfolio was primarily
driven by paydowns and charge-offs as well as lower program enrollments. For more information on the renegotiated TDR portfolio, see Note 4 – Outstanding Loans and Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commercial credit risk is evaluated and managed with the goal that concentrations of credit exposure do not result in undesirable levels of risk.continue to be aligned with our risk appetite. We review, measure and manage concentrations of credit exposure by industry, product, geography, customer relationship and loan size. We also review, measure and manage commercial real estate loans by geographic location and property type. In addition, within our non-U.S. portfolio, we evaluate exposures by region and by country. Tables 39, 4232, 35 and 4738 summarize our concentrations. We also utilize syndications of exposure to third parties, loan sales, hedging and other risk mitigation techniques to manage the size and risk profile of the

Commercial Real Estate
Commercial real estate primarily includes commercial loans and leases secured by non-owner-occupied real estate and is dependent on the sale or lease of the real estate as the primary source of repayment. Outstanding loans remained relatively flat at $62.5 billion at September 30, 2020 as paydowns were offset by new originations and increased utilizations under existing credit facilities. Reservable criticized utilized exposure increased $5.9 billion due to downgrades driven by the impact of COVID-19 across industries, led by hotels. Although we have observed property-level improvements in a number of the most impacted sectors, the length of time for recovery has been slower than originally anticipated, which has prompted these downgrades. The portfolio remains diversified across property types and geographic regions. California represented the largest state concentration at 2423 percent and 2324 percent of the commercial real estate loans and leases portfolio at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016.2019. The commercial real estate portfolio is predominantly managed in Global Banking and consists of loans made primarily to public and private developers, and commercial real estate firms. Outstanding loans increased $2.3 billion, or four percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to new originations outpacing paydowns.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, we continued to see low default rates and solid credit qualityvarying degrees of improvement in both the residential and non-residential portfolios.portfolio. We use a number of proactive risk mitigation initiatives to reduce adversely

Nonperforming commercial real estate loans and foreclosed properties increased $83 million, or 95 percent, driven by a small number of clients across property types. Reservable criticized balances increased $229 million, or 57 percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to loan downgrades. Net charge-offs were $2 million and $3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net recoveries of $23 million and $31 million for the same periods in 2016.

Commercial nonperforming loans were carried at approximately 8478 percent of their unpaid principal balance before consideration of the allowance for loan and lease losses, as the carrying value of these loans has been reduced to the estimated propertycollateral value less costs to sell.

Industry Concentrations
Table 4235 presents commercial committed and utilized credit exposure by industry and the total net credit default protection purchased to cover the funded and unfunded portions of certain credit exposures. Our commercial credit exposure is diversified across a broad range of industries. Total commercial committed exposure decreased $21.7 billion, or two percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $1.0 trillion. The decrease in commercial committed exposure was concentrated in the Asset managers and funds, Global commercial banks, Utilities, and Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industry sectors. Decreases were partially offset by increased $8.4exposure to the Automobiles and components and the Healthcare equipment and services industry sectors.
For information on industry limits, see Commercial Portfolio Credit Risk Management - Industry Concentrations in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Asset managers and funds, our largest industry concentration with committed exposure of $97.5 billion, decreased $12.6
billion, or 11 percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Real estate, our second largest industry concentration with committed exposure of $95.3 billion, decreased $1.1 billion, or one percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $959.5 billion. The increase in commercial committed exposure was concentrated in the Food, Beverage and Tobacco, Diversified Financials and Materials sectors. Increases were partially offset by reduced exposure to the Healthcare Equipment and Services, Banking and Telecommunications sectors.
Industry limits are used internally to manage industry concentrations and are based on committed exposure that is allocated on an industry-by-industry basis. A risk management framework is in place to set and approve industry limits as well as to provide ongoing monitoring. The Management Risk Committee oversees industry limit governance.
Diversified Financials, our largest industry concentration, with committed exposure of $128.9 billion, increased $4.3 billion, or three percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase primarily reflected an increase in exposure to several counterparties.
Real estate, our second largest industry concentration, with committed exposure of $85.4 billion, increased $1.7 billion, or two percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2020. For more information on the commercial real estate and related portfolios, see Commercial Portfolio Credit Risk Management – Commercial Real Estate on page 51.39.
Retailing,Capital goods, our third largest industry concentration with committed exposure of $68.7$83.2 billion,, increased $158 million,$2.3 billion, or less than onethree percent, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The modest2020 with the increase largely occurring in committed exposure occurred as increases in Diversified Wholesalersthe machinery, aerospace and Vehicle Dealers weredefense, and building products categories, partially offset by decreases Multilinea decrease in trading companies and Specialty retailers.distributors, construction and engineering, and industrial conglomerates.
Given the widespread impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on the U.S. and global economy, a number of industries have been and continue to be adversely impacted. We continue to monitor all industries, particularly higher risk industries which

are experiencing or could experience a more significant impact to their financial condition. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has also placed significant stress on global demand for oil, resulting in a steep decline in prices. Our energy-related committed exposure decreased $2.6$1.8 billion, or sevenfive percent, to $36.6 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Energy sector2020 to $34.5
billion, driven by declines in exploration and production, energy equipment and services and refining and marketing exposure offset, in part, by an increase in our integrated client exposure.

Risk Mitigation
We purchase credit protection to cover the funded portion as well as the unfunded portion of certain credit exposures. To lower the cost of obtaining our desired credit protection levels, we may add credit exposure within an industry, borrower or counterparty group by selling protection.
At September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, net notional credit default protection purchased in our credit derivatives portfolio to hedge our funded and unfunded exposures for which we elected the fair value option, as well as certain other credit exposures, was $2.1$5.2 billion and $3.5$3.3 billion. We recorded net losses on these positions of $10$104 million and $57$106 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 compared to net losses of $80$15 million and $408$93 million for the same periods in 2016 on these positions.2019. The gains and losses on these instruments were offset by gains and losses on the related exposures. The Value-at-Risk (VaR)
results for these
exposures are included in the fair value option portfolio information in Table 50.41. For additionalmore information, see Trading Risk Management on page 60.46.

For more information on our written credit derivatives and counterparty credit risk valuation adjustments, see Note 23 – Derivativesto the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The credit risk amounts discussed above and presented in Table 45 take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements while amounts disclosed in Note 2 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements are shownof the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on a gross basis. Credit risk reflects the potential benefit from offsetting exposure to non-credit derivative products with the same counterparties that may be netted upon the occurrence of certain events, thereby reducing our overall exposure.Form 10-K.

Counterparty Credit Risk Valuation Adjustments
We record counterparty credit risk valuation adjustments on certain derivative assets, including our credit default protection purchased, in order to properly reflect the credit risk of the counterparty, as presented in Table 46. We calculate CVA based on a modeled expected exposure that incorporates current market risk factors including changes in market spreads and non-credit related market factors that affect the value of a derivative. The exposure also takes into consideration credit mitigants such as legally enforceable master netting agreements and collateral. For additional information, see Note 2 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We enter into risk management activities to offset market driven exposures. We often hedge the counterparty spread risk in CVA with credit default swaps (CDS). We hedge other market risks in CVA primarily with currency and interest rate swaps. In certain instances, the net-of-hedge amounts in the following table move
in the same direction as the gross amount or may move in the opposite direction. This movement is a consequence of the complex interaction of the risks being hedged, resulting in limitations in the ability to perfectly hedge all of the market exposures at all times.

Non-U.S. Portfolio
Our non-U.S. credit and trading portfolios are subject to country risk. We define country risk as the risk of loss from unfavorable economic and political conditions, currency fluctuations, social instability and changes in government policies. A risk management framework is in place to measure, monitor and manage non-U.S. risk and exposures. In addition to the direct risk of doing business in a country, we also are exposed to indirect country risks (e.g., related to the collateral received on secured financing transactions or related to client clearing activities). These indirect exposures are managed in the normal course of business through credit, market and operational risk governance, rather than through country risk governance.
Table 4738 presents our 20 largest non-U.S. country exposures as ofat September 30, 2017.2020. These exposures accounted for 8791 percent and 88 percent of our total non-U.S. exposure at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016.2019. Net country exposure for these 20 countries increased $10.3$37.9 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 20172020. The majority of the increase was due to higher deposits with central banks in Germany and Japan.

Our largest non-U.S. country exposure at September 30, 2020 was the U.K. with net exposure of $55.0 billion, which represents an $813 million decrease from December 31, 2019. Our second largest non-U.S. country exposure was Germany with net exposure of $50.1 billion at September 30, 2020, a $19.2 billion increase from December 31, 2019. The increase in Germany was primarily driven by increasesan increase in China, Mexico, Belgium, South Korea and Japan, partially offset by decreases in Switzerland, Brazil anddeposits with the U.K. On a product basis, the increase was driven by increased funded commitments in China, the Netherlands, Mexico and Belgium, along with increased sovereign securities in Japan, India and Korea. These increases were partially offset by the salecentral bank.

A number of economic conditions and geopolitical events have given rise to risk aversion in certain emerging markets. Our two largest emerging market country exposures at September 30, 2017 were China and Brazil. At September 30, 2017, net exposure to China was $14.2 billion, concentrated in large state-owned
companies, subsidiaries of multinational corporations and commercial banks. At September 30, 2017, net exposure to Brazil was $11.6 billion, concentrated in sovereign securities, oil and gas companies and commercial banks.

The outlook for policy direction and therefore economic performance in the European Union (EU) remains uncertain as a consequence of reduced political cohesion among EU countries. Additionally, we believe that the uncertainty on the U.K.'s ability to negotiate a favorable exit from the EU will further weigh on economic performance. Our largest EU country exposure at September 30, 2017 was the U.K. At September 30, 2017, net exposure to the U.K. was $45.7 billion, concentrated in multinational corporations and sovereign clients. For additional information, see Executive Summary – Third Quarter 2017 Economic and Business Environment on page 3.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses decreased $16 million to $834 million, and $428 million to $2.4 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. The provision for credit losses was $66 million and $347 million lower than net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, resulting in a reduction in the allowance for credit losses. This compared to a reduction of $38 million and $118 million in the allowance for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
The provision for credit losses for the consumer portfolio increased $25 million to $730 million, and $268 million to $2.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. The increase for both periods was primarily driven by a provision increase of $218 million and $554 million in the U.S. credit card portfolio due to portfolio seasoning and loan growth, largely offset by improvement in the home equity portfolio due to increased home prices and lower nonperforming loans. Included in the provision is an expense of $12 million and $56 million related to the PCI loan portfolio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to an expense of $8 million and a benefit of $81 million for the same periods in 2016.
The provision for credit losses for the commercial portfolio, including unfunded lending commitments, decreased $41 million to $104 million, and $696 million to $287 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 driven by reductions in energy exposures.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
TheOn January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted the new accounting standard that requires the measurement of the allowance for loan and leasecredit losses isto be based on management’s best estimate of lifetime ECL inherent in the Corporation’s relevant financial assets. Upon adoption of the new accounting standard, the Corporation recorded a net increase of $3.3 billion in the allowance for credit losses which was comprised of two components. The first component covers nonperforming commercial loans and TDRs. The second component covers loans and leases on which there are incurred losses that are not yet individually identifiable, as well as incurred losses that may not be representeda net increase of $2.9 billion in the loss forecast models. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses based onand an increase of $310 million in the total of these two components. reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The net increase was primarily driven by a $3.1 billion increase related to the credit card portfolio.
The allowance for loan and leasecredit losses excludes LHFS and loans accounted for under the fair value option as the fair value reflects a credit risk component. For more information on the allowance for loan and lease losses, see Allowance for Credit Losses in the MD&A of the Corporation's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During the three and nine months endedfurther increased by $8.0 billion from January 1, 2020 to $21.5 billion at September 30, 2017, the factors that impacted the allowance for loan and lease losses2020, which included improvements in the credit quality of the consumer real estate portfolios driven by continuing improvements in the U.S. economy and labor markets, proactive credit risk management
initiatives and the impact of high credit quality originations. Evidencing the improvements in the U.S. economy and labor markets are downward unemployment trends and increases in home prices. In addition to these improvements, in the consumer portfolio, nonperforming consumer loans decreased $752 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as returns to performing status, charge-offs, paydowns and loan sales continued to outpace new nonaccrual loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the allowance for loan and lease lossesa $5.2 billion increase in the commercial portfolio reflected decreased energy reserves primarily driven by reductions in energy exposures.
The allowance for loan and lease losses for the consumer portfolio, as presented in Table 49, was $5.6a $2.8 billion at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $640 million from December 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily in the home equity portfolio and the non-U.S. card portfolio which was sold during the second quarter of 2017, partially offset by an increase in the U.S. credit cardconsumer portfolio. The reductionincreases were driven by deterioration in the home equity portfolio was dueeconomic outlook resulting from the impact of COVID-19. Assuming the macroeconomic outlook does not deteriorate further, we do not expect to improved home prices, lower nonperforming loans and a decrease in loan balances. The increase the level of the allowance for credit losses in the U.S. credit card portfolio was driven by portfolio seasoning and loan growth.

The following table presents an allocation of the allowance for loan and leasecredit losses by product type for the commercial portfolio, as presented in Table 49, was $5.1 billion at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $147 million from2020, January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2016 driven by decreased energy reserves due2019 (prior to reductions in the higher risk energy sub-sectors.

Net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $972 million and $3.2 billion compared to $811 million and $2.7 billion for the same periods in 2019 driven by increases in commercial losses. The provision for credit losses increased $610 million to $1.4 billion, and $8.6 billion to $11.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019.

Market Risk Management
For more information on our market risk management process, see Market Risk Management in the MD&A of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market conditions may adversely impact the value of assets or liabilities, or otherwise negatively impact earnings. This risk is inherent in the financial instruments associated with our operations, primarily within our Global Markets segment. We are also exposed to these risks in other areas of the Corporation (e.g., our ALM activities). In the event of market stress, these risks could have a material impact on our results.
We have been affected, and expect to continue to be affected, by market stress resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic that began in the first quarter of 2020. For more information on the effects of the pandemic, see Executive Summary - Recent Developments – COVID-19 Pandemic on page 3.
Trading Risk Management
To evaluate risk arising fromrisks in our trading activities, the Corporation focuseswe focus on the actual and potential volatility of revenues generated by individual positions as well as portfolios of positions.
VaR is a common statistic used to measure market risk as it allows the aggregation of market risk factors, including the effects of portfolio diversification. A VaR model simulates the value of a portfolio under a range of scenarios in order to generate a distribution of potential gains and losses. VaR represents the loss a portfolio is not expected to exceed more than a certain number of times per period, based on a specified holding period, confidence level and window of historical data. We use one VaR model consistently across the trading portfolios and it uses a historical simulation approach based on a three-year window of historical data.risk. Our primary VaR statistic is equivalent to a 99 percent confidence level. Thislevel, which means that for a VaR with a one-day holding period, there should not be losses in excess of VaR, on average, 99 out of 100 trading days.
Table 41 presents the total market-based portfolio VaR which is the combination of the total covered positions (and less liquid trading positions) portfolio and the fair value option portfolio. For more information on ourthe market risk VaR for trading risk management process,activities, see Trading Risk Management in the MD&A of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Table 50 presents the total market-based trading portfolio VaR which is the combination of the covered positions trading portfolio and the impact from less liquid trading exposures. Covered positions are defined by regulatory standards as trading assets
and liabilities, both on- and off-balance sheet, that meet a defined set of specifications. These specifications identify the most liquid trading positions which are intended to be held for a short-term horizon and where we are able to hedge the material risk elements in a two-way market. Positions in less liquid markets, or where there are restrictions on the ability to trade the positions, typically do not qualify as covered positions. Foreign exchange and commodity positions are always considered covered positions, except for structural foreign currency positions that are excluded with prior regulatory approval. In addition, Table 50 presents our fair value option portfolio, which includes substantially all of the funded and unfunded exposures for which we elect the fair value option, and their corresponding hedges. The fair value option portfolio combined with the total market-based trading portfolio VaR represents our total market-based portfolio VaR. Additionally, market risk VaR for trading activities as presented in Table 50 differs from VaR used for regulatory capital calculations due to the holding period being used. The holding period for VaR used for regulatory capital calculations is 10 days, while for the market risk VaR presented below, it is one day. Both measures utilize the same process and methodology.
The total market-based portfolio VaR results in Table 5041 include market risk to which we are exposed from all business segments, excluding CVAcredit valuation adjustment (CVA), DVA and DVA.related hedges. The majority of this portfolio is inwithin the Global Markets segment.
Table 5041 presents period-end, average, high and low daily trading VaR for the three months ended September 30, 2017,2020, June 30, 20172020 and September 30, 2016,2019 using a 99 percent confidence level, as well as average daily trading VaR for the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016, using2019. The amounts disclosed in Table 41 and Table 42 align to the view of covered positions used in the Basel 3 capital calculations. Foreign exchange and commodity positions are always considered covered positions, regardless of trading or banking treatment for the trade, except for structural foreign currency positions that are excluded with prior regulatory approval.
The average of total covered positions and less liquid trading positions portfolio VaR increased for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior quarter primarily due to a 99 percent confidence level.decrease in portfolio diversification.

The high and low for each portfolio may have occurred on different trading days than the high and low for the components. Therefore the impact from less liquid exposures and the amount of portfolio diversification, which is the difference between the total portfolio and the sum of the individual components, is not relevant.
The graph below presents the daily total market-basedcovered positions and less liquid trading positions portfolio VaR for the previous five quarters, corresponding to the data in Table 50.41. Peak VaR in mid-March 2020 was driven by increased market realized volatility and higher implied volatilities.
var3q17.jpgbac-20200930_g1.jpg
Additional VaR statistics produced within our single VaR model are provided in Table 5142 at the same level of detail as in Table 50.41. Evaluating VaR with additional statistics allows for an increased understanding of the risks in the portfolio as the historical market data used in the VaR calculation does not necessarily follow a predefined statistical distribution. Table 5142 presents average trading VaR statistics at 99 percent and 95
percent confidence levels for the three months ended September 30, 2017,2020, June 30, 20172020 and September 30, 2016.2019. The increase in VaR for the 99 percent confidence level for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to COVID-19 related market volatility, which impacted the 99 percent VaR average more severely than the 95 percent VaR average.

Backtesting
The accuracy of the VaR methodology is evaluated by backtesting, which compares the daily VaR results, utilizing a one-day holding period, against a comparable subset of trading revenue. A backtesting excess occurs when a trading loss exceeds the VaR for the corresponding day. These excesses are evaluated to understand the positions and market moves that produced the trading loss and to ensure that the VaR methodology accurately represents those losses. For more information on our backtesting process, see Trading Risk Management – Backtesting in the MD&A of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, there were no days in which there was a backtesting excess forwhere this subset of trading revenue had losses that exceeded our total market-basedcovered portfolio VaR, utilizing a one-day holding period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, seven days with losses exceeded total covered portfolio VaR.
Total Trading-related Revenue
Total trading-related revenue, excluding brokerage fees, and CVA, DVA and funding valuation adjustment (FVA) gains (losses), represents the total amount earned from trading positions,
including market-based net interest income, which are taken in a diverse range of financial instruments and markets. Trading account assets and liabilities are reported at fair value. For more
information, see Trading Risk Management – Total Trading-related Revenue in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on fair value, see Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Trading-related revenue can be volatile and is largely driven by general market conditions and customer demand. Also, trading-related revenue is dependent on the volume and type of transactions, the level of risk assumed, and the volatility of price and rate movements at any given time within the ever-changing market environment. Significant daily revenue by business is monitored and the primary drivers of these are reviewed.Form 10-K.
The following histogram is a graphic depiction of trading volatility and illustrates the daily level of trading-related revenue for the three months ended September 30, 20172020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 20172020 and March 31, 2017.2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2017,2020, positive trading-related revenue was recorded for 100 percent of the trading days, of which 7788 percent were daily trading gains of over $25 million. This compares to the three months ended June 30, 2017,2020 where positive trading-related revenue was recorded for all100 percent of the trading days, of which 8095 percent were daily trading gains of over $25 million.

Trading Portfolio Stress Testing
Because the very nature of a VaR model suggests results can exceed our estimates and it is dependent on a limited historical window, we also stress test our portfolio using scenario analysis. This analysis estimates the change in the value of our trading portfolio that may result from abnormal market movements. For additionalmore information, see Trading Risk Management – Trading Portfolio Stress Testing in the MD&A of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Interest Rate Risk Management for the Banking Book
The following discussion presents net interest income for banking book activities. For more information, see Interest Rate Risk Management for the Banking Book in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Interest rate risk represents the most significant market risk exposure to our banking book balance sheet. Interest rate risk is measured as the potential change in net interest income caused by movements in market interest rates. Client-facing activities, primarily lending and deposit-taking, create interest rate sensitive positions on our balance sheet.
We prepare forward-looking forecasts of net interest income. The baseline forecast takes into consideration expected future business growth, ALM positioning and the direction of interest rate movements as implied by the market-based forward curve. We then measure and evaluate the impact that alternative interest rate scenarios have on the baseline forecast in order to assess interest rate sensitivity under varied conditions. The net interest income forecast is frequently updated for changing assumptions and differing outlooks based on economic trends, market conditions and business strategies. Thus, we continually monitor
our balance sheet position in order to maintain an acceptable level of exposure to interest rate changes.
The interest rate scenarios that we analyze incorporate balance sheet assumptions such as loan and deposit growth and pricing, changes in funding mix, product repricing, maturity characteristics and investment securities premium amortization. Our overall goal is to manage interest rate risk so that movements in interest rates do not significantly adversely affect earnings and capital.
Table 5243 presents the spot and 12-month forward rates used in our baseline forecasts at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016.2019.

Table 5344 shows the pre-tax dollarpretax impact to forecasted net interest income over the next 12 months from September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019 resulting from instantaneous parallel and non-parallel shocks to the market-based forward curve. Periodically we evaluate the scenarios presented so that they are meaningful in the context of the current rate environment. The interest rate scenarios also assume U.S. dollar rates are floored at zero.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, the asset sensitivity of our balance sheet increased in both up-rate and down-rate scenarios primarily due to rising rates was largely unchanged.higher deposit balances. We continue to be asset sensitive to a parallel upward move in interest rates with the majority of that benefitimpact coming from the short end of the yield curve. Additionally, higher interest rates impact the fair value of debt securities and, accordingly, for debt
securities classified as available-for-sale (AFS),AFS, may adversely affect accumulated OCI and thus capital levels under the Basel 3 capital rules. Under instantaneous upward parallel shifts, the near-term adverse impact to Basel 3 capital is reduced over time by offsetting positive impacts to net interest income. For more information on the transition provisions of Basel 3, see Capital Management – Regulatory Capital on page 29.24.

The sensitivity analysis in Table 5344 assumes that we take no action in response to these rate shocks and does not assume any change in other macroeconomic variables normally correlated with changes in interest rates. As part of our ALM activities, we use securities, certain residential mortgages, and interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives in managing interest rate sensitivity.
The behavior of our depositdeposits portfolio in the baseline forecast and in alternate interest rate scenarios is a key assumption in our projected estimates of net interest income. The sensitivity analysis in Table 5344 assumes no change in deposit portfolio size or mix from the baseline forecast in alternate rate environments. In higher rate scenarios, any customer activity resulting in the replacement of low-cost or noninterest-bearing deposits with higher-yieldinghigher yielding deposits or market-based funding would reduce our benefit in those scenarios.
Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts
Interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts are utilized in our ALM activities and serve as an efficient tool to manage our interest rate and foreign exchange risk. We use derivatives to hedge the variability in cash flows or changes in fair value on our balance sheet due to interest rate and foreign exchange components. For more information on our hedging activities, see Note 23 – Derivativesto the Consolidated Financial Statements.
OurStatements. For more information on interest rate contracts are generally non-leveraged generic interest rate and foreign exchange basis swaps, options, futures and forwards. In addition, we use foreign exchange contracts, including cross-currency interest rate swaps, foreign currency futures contracts, foreign currency forward contracts and options to mitigaterisk management, see Interest Rate Risk Management for the foreign exchange risk associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities.Banking Book in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes to the composition of our derivatives portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflect actions taken for interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk management. The decisions to reposition our derivatives portfolio are based on the current assessment of economic and financial conditions including the interest rate and foreign currency environments, balance sheet composition and trends, and the relative mix of our cash and derivative positions.
Table 54 presents derivatives utilized in our ALM activities including those designated as accounting and economic hedging instruments and shows the notional amount, fair value, weighted-average receive-fixed and pay-fixed rates, expected maturity and average estimated durations of our open ALM derivatives at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. These amounts do not include derivative hedges on our MSRs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the fair value of receive-fixed interest rate swaps increased while pay-fixed interest swaps decreased, primarily driven by lower swap rates on hedges of U.S. dollar long-term debt.

Mortgage Banking Risk Management
We originate, fund and service mortgage loans, which subject us to credit, liquidity and interest rate risks, among others. We determine whether loans will be held-for-investmentheld for investment or held-for-saleheld for sale at the time of commitment and manage credit and liquidity risks by selling or securitizing a portion of the loans we originate.
Interest rate risk and market risk can be substantial in the mortgage business. Changes in interest rates and other market factors impact the volume of mortgage originations. Changes in interest rates also impact the value of IRLCsinterest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) and the related residential first mortgage LHFS, between the date of the IRLC and the date the loans are sold to the secondary market. An increase in mortgage interest rates typically leads to a decrease in the value of these instruments. Conversely,as well as the value of the MSRs will increase driven by lower prepayment expectations when there is an increase in interest rates.MSRs. Because the interest rate risks of these two hedged items offset, we combine them into one overall hedged item with one combined economic hedge portfolio consisting of derivative contracts and securities. For more information on IRLCs and the related residential mortgage LHFS, see Mortgage Banking Risk Management in the MD&A of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ForDuring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020 and 2019, we recorded gains in mortgage banking income of $34$85 million and $100$313 million related to the change in fair value of the MSRs, IRLCs and LHFS, net of gains and losses on the hedge portfolio, compared to gains of $136$78 million and $318$217 million for the same periods in 2016. For more information on MSRs, see Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements to the Consolidated Financial Statements and for more information on mortgage banking income, see Consumer Banking on page 14.2019.
Complex Accounting Estimates
Our significant accounting principles are essential in understanding the MD&A. Many of our significant accounting principles require complex judgments to estimate the values of assets and liabilities. We have procedures and processes in place to facilitate making these judgments. For additionalmore information, see Complex Accounting Estimates ofin the MD&A of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as noted below under Allowance for Credit Losses, there have not been any material updates to our complex accounting estimates as disclosed in the MD&A of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted the new accounting standard that requires the measurement of the allowance for credit losses, which includes the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, to be based on management’s best estimate of lifetime ECL inherent in the Corporation's relevant financial assets.
The Corporation's estimate of lifetime ECL includes the use of quantitative models that incorporate forward-looking


macroeconomic scenarios that are applied over the contractual life of the loan portfolios, adjusted for expected prepayments and borrower-controlled extension options. These macroeconomic scenarios include variables that have historically been key drivers of increases and decreases in credit losses. These variables include, but are not limited to, unemployment rates, real estate prices, gross domestic product levels, corporate bond spreads and long-term interest rate forecasts. As any one economic outlook is inherently uncertain, the Corporation leverages multiple scenarios. The scenarios that are chosen each quarter and the amount of weighting given to each scenario depend on a variety of factors including recent economic events, leading economic indicators, views of internal and third-party economists and industry trends.
The Corporation also includes qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but, in the Corporation's assessment, may not be adequately represented in the economic assumptions described above. For example, factors that the Corporation considers include changes in lending policies and procedures, business conditions, the nature and size of the portfolio, portfolio concentrations, the volume and severity of past due loans and nonaccrual loans, the effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, among others. Further, the Corporation considers the inherent uncertainty in quantitative models that are built on historical data.
The allowance for credit losses can also be impacted by unanticipated changes in asset quality of the portfolio, such as increases in risk rating downgrades in our commercial portfolio, deterioration in borrower delinquencies or credit scores in our credit card portfolio or increases in LTVs in our consumer real estate portfolio. In addition, while we have incorporated our estimated impact of COVID-19 into our allowance for credit losses, the ultimate impact of the pandemic is still unknown, including how long economic activities will be impacted and what effect the unprecedented levels of government fiscal and monetary actions will have on the economy and our credit losses. 
As described above, the process to determine the allowance for credit losses requires numerous estimates and assumptions, some of which require a high degree of judgment and are often interrelated. Changes in the estimates and assumptions can result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses. Our process for determining the allowance for credit losses is further discussed in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
Bank of America Corporation, a bank holding company and a financial holding company, provides a diverse range of financial services and products throughout the U.S. and in certain international markets. The term “the Corporation” as used herein may refer to Bank of America Corporation, individually, Bank of America Corporation and its subsidiaries, or certain of Bank of America Corporation’s subsidiaries or affiliates.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities (VIEs) where the Corporation is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Results of operations of acquired companies are included from the dates of acquisition, and for VIEs, from the dates that the Corporation became the primary beneficiary. Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Corporation accounts for investments in companies for which it owns a voting interest and for which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financing decisions using the equity method of accounting. These investments are included in other assets. Equity method investments are subject to impairment testing, and the Corporation’s proportionate share of income or loss is included in other income.
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. RealizedActual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions.
These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The nature of the Corporation'sCorporation’s business is such that the results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim period results, have been made. The Corporation evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
On June 1, 2017,New Accounting Standards
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the Corporation completedFASB issued a new accounting standard related to contracts or hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The new standard provides for optional expedients and other guidance regarding the saleaccounting related to modifications of its non-U.S. consumer credit card business to a third party.contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The Corporation has indemnifiedelected to retrospectively adopt the purchaser for substantially all payment protection insurance (PPI) exposure above reserves assumed by the purchaser. Thenew standard as of January 1, 2020 which resulted in 0 immediate impact. While reference rate reform is not expected to have a material accounting impact of the sale was an after-tax gain of $103 million, and is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income as other income of $793 million and an income tax expense of $690 million. The income tax expense was related to gains on the derivatives used to hedgeCorporation’s
consolidated financial position or results of operations, the currency riskstandard will ease the administrative burden in accounting for the future effects of the net investment. Total cash proceeds from the sale were $10.9 billion. The assets of the business sold primarily included consumer credit card receivables of $9.8 billion and $9.2 billion
at June 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and goodwill of $775 million at both of those period ends. This business was includedin All Other.
New Accounting Pronouncementsreference rate reform.
Accounting for Financial Instruments -- Credit Losses
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued aOn January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted the new accounting standard effective on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2019, that will requirerequires the earlier recognitionmeasurement of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments based on an expected loss model, replacing the incurred loss model that is currently in use. The standard also requires expanded credit quality disclosures, including credit quality indicators disaggregated by vintage. The Corporation is in the process of identifying and implementing required changes to loan loss estimation models and processes and evaluating the impact of this new accounting standard, which at the date of adoption is expected to increase the allowance for credit losses with a resulting negative adjustment to retained earnings.
Hedge Accounting
The FASB issued a new accountingbe based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) inherent in the Corporation’s relevant financial assets. Upon adoption of the standard effective on January 1, 2019, with early2020, the Corporation recorded a $3.3 billion, or 32 percent, increase to the allowance for credit losses. After adjusting for deferred taxes and other adoption permitted, that makes targeted improvements to simplifyeffects, a $2.4 billion decrease was recorded in retained earnings through a cumulative-effect adjustment.
Accounting Principles for Credit Losses
The following summarizes the applicationCorporation’s accounting policies for certain credit loss activities.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses includes both the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments and represents management’s estimate of hedge accounting guidance. The Corporation is evaluating the timing of adoption. The ongoing implementation efforts include identifying current hedge strategies and systems and processes that will need to be modified to comply with the standard, which could impact the timing of adoption. The Corporation does not expect the new accounting standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosuresECL in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Lease Accounting
The FASB issued a new accounting standard effective on January 1, 2019 that requires substantially all leases to be recorded as assetsCorporation’s loan and liabilities on the balance sheet. This new accounting standard uses a modified retrospective transition that will be applied to all prior periods presented. The Corporation is in the process of reviewing its existing lease portfolios, as well as other service contracts for embedded leases, to evaluate the impact of the new accounting standard on the financial statements, as well as the impact to regulatory capital and risk-weighted assets. The effect of the adoption will depend on its lease portfolio, at the time of transition; however, the Corporation does not expect the new accounting standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recognitionexcluding loans and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The FASB issued a new accounting standard effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted for the provisions related to debit valuation adjustments (DVA), on recognition and measurement of financial instruments, including certain equity investments and financial liabilities recorded at fair value under the fair value option. In 2015, the Corporation early adopted, retrospective to January 1, 2015, the provisions of this new accounting standard related to DVA on financial liabilitiesunfunded lending commitments accounted for under the fair value option. The ECL on funded consumer and commercial loans and leases is referred to as the allowance for loan and lease losses and is reported separately as a contra-asset to loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The ECL for unfunded lending commitments, including home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), standby letters of credit (SBLCs) and binding unfunded loan commitments is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in accrued expenses and other liabilities. The provision for credit losses related to the loan and lease portfolio and unfunded lending commitments is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
For loans and leases, the ECL is typically estimated using quantitative methods that consider a variety of factors such as historical loss experience, the current credit quality of the portfolio as well as an economic outlook over the life of the loan. The life of the loan for closed-ended products is based on the contractual maturity of the loan adjusted for any expected prepayments. The contractual maturity includes any extension options that are at the sole discretion of the borrower. For open-ended products (e.g., lines of credit), the ECL is determined based on the maximum repayment term associated with future draws from credit lines unless those lines of credit are unconditionally cancellable (e.g., credit cards) in which case the Corporation does not record any allowance.
In its loss forecasting framework, the Corporation incorporates forward-looking information through the use of macroeconomic scenarios applied over the forecasted life of the assets. These macroeconomic scenarios include variables that have historically been key drivers of increases and decreases in credit losses. These variables include, but are not limited to, unemployment rates, real estate prices, gross domestic product levels, corporate bond spreads and long-term interest rate forecasts. As any one economic outlook is inherently uncertain, the Corporation leverages multiple scenarios. The scenarios that are chosen each quarter and the amount of weighting given to each scenario depend on a variety of factors including recent economic events, leading economic indicators, views of internal as well as third-party economists and industry trends.

Bank of America 56


The estimate of credit losses includes expected recoveries of amounts previously charged off (i.e., negative allowance). If a loan has been charged off, the expected cash flows on the loan are not limited by the current amortized cost balance. Instead, expected cash flows can be assumed up to the unpaid principal balance immediately prior to the charge-off.
The allowance for loan and lease losses for troubled debt restructurings (TDR) is measured based on the present value of projected future lifetime principal and interest cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, or in cases where foreclosure is probable or the loan is collateral dependent, at the loan’s collateral value or its observable market price, if available. The measurement of ECL for the renegotiated consumer credit card TDR portfolio is based on the present value of projected cash flows discounted using the average TDR portfolio contractual interest rate, excluding promotionally priced loans, in effect prior to restructuring. Projected cash flows for TDRs use the same economic outlook as discussed above. For purposes of computing this specific loss component of the allowance, larger impaired loans are evaluated individually and smaller impaired loans are evaluated as a pool.
Also included in the allowance for loan and lease losses are qualitative reserves to cover losses that are expected but, in the Corporation's assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative methods or the economic assumptions described above. For example, factors that the Corporation considers include changes in lending policies and procedures, business conditions, the nature and size of the portfolio, portfolio concentrations, the volume and severity of past due loans and nonaccrual loans, the effect of external factors such as competition, and legal and regulatory requirements, among others. Further, the Corporation considers the inherent uncertainty in quantitative models that are built on historical data.
With the exception of the Corporation's credit card portfolio, the Corporation does not include reserves for interest receivable in the measurement of the allowance for credit losses as the Corporation generally classifies consumer loans as nonperforming at 90 days past due and reverses interest income for these loans at that time. For credit card loans, the Corporation reserves for interest and fees as part of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Upon charge-off of a credit card loan, the Corporation reverses the interest and fee income against the income statement line item where it was originally recorded.
The Corporation has identified the following 3 portfolio segments and measures the allowance for credit losses using the following methods.
Consumer Real Estate
To estimate ECL for consumer loans secured by residential real estate, the Corporation estimates the number of loans that will default over the life of the existing portfolio, after factoring in estimated prepayments, using quantitative modeling methodologies. The attributes that are most significant in estimating the Corporation’s ECL include refreshed loan-to-value (LTV) or, in the case of a subordinated lien, refreshed combined LTV (CLTV), borrower credit score, months since origination and geography, all of which are further broken down by present collection status (whether the loan is current, delinquent, in default, or in bankruptcy). The estimates are based on the Corporation’s historical experience with the loan portfolio,
adjusted to reflect the economic outlook. The outlook on the unemployment rate and consumer real estate prices are key factors that impact the frequency and severity of loss estimates. The Corporation does not reserve for credit losses on the unpaid principal balance of loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and long-term standby loans, as these loans are fully insured. The Corporation records a reserve for unfunded lending commitments for the ECL associated with the undrawn portion of the Corporation’s HELOCs, which can only be canceled by the Corporation if certain criteria are met. The ECL associated with these unfunded lending commitments is calculated using the same models and methodologies noted above and incorporate utilization assumptions at time of default.
For loans that are more than 180 days past due and collateral-dependent TDRs, the Corporation bases the allowance on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral as of the reporting date less costs to sell. The fair value of the collateral securing these loans is generally determined using an automated valuation model (AVM) that estimates the value of a property by reference to market data including sales of comparable properties and price trends specific to the Metropolitan Statistical Area in which the property being valued is located. In the event that an AVM value is not available, the Corporation utilizes publicized indices or if these methods provide less reliable valuations, the Corporation uses appraisals or broker price opinions to estimate the fair value of the collateral. While there is inherent imprecision in these valuations, the Corporation believes that they are representative of this portfolio in the aggregate.
For loans that are more than 180 days past due and collateral-dependent TDRs, with the exception of the Corporation’s fully insured portfolio, the outstanding balance of loans that is in excess of the estimated property value after adjusting for costs to sell is charged off. If the estimated property value decreases in periods subsequent to the initial charge-off, the Corporation will record an additional charge-off; however, if the value increases in periods subsequent to the charge-off, the Corporation will adjust the allowance to account for the increase but not to a level above the cumulative charge-off amount.
Credit Cards and Other Consumer
Credit cards are revolving lines of credit without a defined maturity date. The estimated life of a credit card receivable is determined by estimating the amount and timing of expected future payments (e.g., borrowers making full payments, minimum payments or somewhere in between) that it will take for a receivable balance to pay off. The ECL on the future payments incorporates the spending behavior of a borrower through time using key borrower-specific factors and the economic outlook described above. The Corporation applies all expected payments in accordance with the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (i.e., paying down the highest interest rate bucket first). Then forecasted future payments are prioritized to pay off the oldest balance until it is brought to zero or an expected charge-off amount. Unemployment rate outlook, borrower credit score, delinquency status and historical payment behavior are all key inputs into the credit card receivable loss forecasting model. Future draws on the credit card lines are excluded from the ECL as they are unconditionally cancellable.

57Bank of America



The ECL for the consumer vehicle lending portfolio is also determined using quantitative methods supplemented with qualitative analysis. The quantitative model estimates ECL giving consideration to key borrower and loan characteristics such as delinquency status, borrower credit score, LTV ratio, underlying collateral type and collateral value.
Commercial
The ECL on commercial loans is forecasted using models that estimate credit losses over the loan’s contractual life at an individual loan level. The models use the contractual terms to forecast future principal cash flows while also considering expected prepayments. For open-ended commitments such as revolving lines of credit, changes in funded balance are captured by forecasting a borrower’s draw and payment behavior over the remaining life of the commitment. For loans collateralized with commercial real estate and for which the underlying asset is the primary source of repayment, the loss forecasting models consider key loan and customer attributes such as LTV ratio, net operating income and debt service coverage, and captures variations in behavior according to property type and region. The commercial real estate model also utilizes key economic variables to forecast market indicators such as rent levels and vacancy rates, which impact the ECL estimate. For all other commercial loans and leases, the loss forecasting model determines the probabilities of transition to different credit risk ratings or default at each point over the life of the asset based on the borrower’s current credit risk rating, industry sector, size of the exposure and the geographic market. The severity of loss is determined based on the type of collateral securing the exposure, the size of the exposure, the borrower’s industry sector, any guarantors and the geographic market. Assumptions of expected loss are conditioned to the economic outlook and the model considers key economic variables such as unemployment rate, gross domestic product, credit risk spreads, asset prices and equity market returns.
In addition to the allowance for loan and lease losses, the Corporation also estimates ECL related to unfunded lending commitments such as letters of credit, financial guarantees, unfunded bankers acceptances and binding loan commitments, excluding commitments accounted for under the fair value option. Reserves are estimated for the unfunded exposure using the same models and methodologies as the funded exposure and are reported as reserves for unfunded lending commitments.
Securities
The Corporation evaluates each available-for-sale (AFS) security where the value has declined below amortized cost. If the Corporation intends to sell or believes it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security, it is written down to fair value through earnings. For AFS debt securities the Corporation intends to hold, the Corporation evaluates the debt securities for ECL except for debt securities that are guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agencies or sovereign entities of high credit quality where the Corporation applies a zero credit loss assumption. For the remaining AFS debt securities, the Corporation considers qualitative parameters such as internal and external credit ratings and the value of underlying collateral. If an AFS debt security fails any of the qualitative parameters, a discounted cash flow analysis is used by the Corporation to determine if a portion of the unrealized loss is a result of a credit loss. Any credit losses determined are recognized as an increase to the allowance for credit losses through provision expense recorded in other income. Cash flows
expected to be collected are estimated using all relevant information available such as, remaining payment terms, prepayment speeds, the financial condition of the issuer, expected defaults and the value of the underlying collateral. If any of the decline in fair value is related to market factors, that amount is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI). In certain instances, the credit loss may exceed the total decline in fair value, in which case, the allowance recorded is limited to the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the asset.
The Corporation separately evaluates its held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities for any credit losses, of which substantially all qualify for the zero loss assumption. For the remaining securities, the Corporation performs a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate any credit losses which are then recognized as part of the allowance for credit losses.
Other Assets
For the Corporation’s financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and are not included in debt securities or loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Corporation evaluates these assets for ECL using various techniques. For assets that are subject to collateral maintenance provisions, including federal funds sold and securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell, where the collateral consists of daily margining of liquid and marketable assets where the margining is expected to be maintained into the foreseeable future, the expected losses are assumed to be 0. For all other assets, the Corporation performs qualitative analyses, including consideration of historical losses and current economic conditions, to estimate any ECL which are then included in a valuation account that is recorded as a contra-asset against the amortized cost basis of the financial asset.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
The Corporation has implemented various consumer and commercial loan modification programs to provide its borrowers relief from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), the Corporation has elected to not apply TDR classification to any COVID-19 related loan modifications that were performed after March 1, 2020 to borrowers who were current as of December 31, 2019. Accordingly, these restructurings are not classified as TDRs. In addition, for loans modified in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that do not meet the above criteria (e.g., current payment status at December 31, 2019), the Corporation is applying the guidance included in an interagency statement issued by the bank regulatory agencies. This guidance states that loan modifications performed in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including loan payment deferrals that are up to six months in duration, that were granted to borrowers who were current as of the implementation date of a loan modification program or modifications granted under government mandated modification programs, are not TDRs. For loan modifications that include a payment deferral and are not TDRs, the borrowers' past due and nonaccrual status have not been impacted during the deferral period. The Corporation has continued to accrue interest during the deferral period using a constant effective yield method. For most mortgage, HELOC and commercial loan modifications, the contractual interest that accrued during the deferral period is payable at the maturity of the loan. The Corporation includes these amounts with the unpaid principal balance when computing its allowance for credit losses. Amounts that are subsequently deemed uncollectible

Revenue RecognitionPaycheck Protection Program
The FASB issuedCorporation is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which is a new accounting standard effective on January 1, 2018 for recognizing revenueloan program that originated from contractsthe CARES Act and was subsequently expanded by the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. The PPP is designed to provide U.S. small businesses with customers. The customer contracts withincash-flow assistance through loans fully guaranteed by the scopeSmall Business Administration (SBA). If the borrower meets certain criteria and uses the proceeds towards certain eligible expenses, the borrower’s obligation to repay the loan can be forgiven up to the full principal amount of the new standard have been identified,loan and any accrued interest. Upon borrower forgiveness, the Corporation's current evaluation indicates thatSBA pays the new standard will not impact the timing or measurement of its revenue recognition. The Corporation continues to evaluate the presentation of certain costs as either operating expenses or net against noninterest income; consequently, there may be an insignificant change in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the presentationprincipal and accrued interest owed on the loan. If the full principal of these costs. Overall, the loan is not forgiven, the loan will operate according to the original loan terms with the 100 percent SBA guaranty remaining. As of September 30, 2020,
the Corporation does not expecthad approximately 343,000 PPP loans with outstanding balances totaling $24.7 billion. As compensation for originating the new accounting standardloans, the Corporation received lender processing fees from the SBA, which are capitalized, along with the loan origination costs, and will be amortized over the loans’ contractual lives and recognized as interest income. Upon forgiveness of a loan and repayment by the SBA, any unrecognized net capitalized fees and costs related to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, resultsthe loan will be recognized as interest income in that period.

Derivative assets and liabilities reflect the effectsBank of contractual amendments by two central clearing counterparties to legally re-characterize daily cash variation margin from collateral, which secures an outstanding exposure, to settlement, which discharges an outstanding exposure. One of these central clearing counterparties amended its governing documents, which became effective in January 2017. In addition, the Corporation elected to transfer its existing positions to the settlement platform for the other central clearing counterparty in September 2017.America 60

Offsetting of Derivatives
The Corporation enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master netting agreements or similar agreements with substantially all of the Corporation’s derivative counterparties. Where legally enforceable, these master netting agreements give the Corporation, in the event of default by the counterparty, the right to liquidate securities held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty. For additionalmore information, on the offsetting of derivative assets and liabilities, see Note 23 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statementsof the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K.
The following table presents derivative instruments included in derivative assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 20162019 by primary risk (e.g., interest rate risk) and the platform, where
applicable, on which these derivatives are transacted. Balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty and cash collateral netting. Total gross derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements which includesinclude reducing the balance for counterparty netting and cash collateral received or paid.
For more information on offsetting of securities financing agreements, see Note 9 – Federal Funds Sold or Purchased, Securities Financing Agreements, and Short-term Borrowings and Restricted Cash.

ALM and Risk Management Derivatives
The Corporation’s asset and liability management (ALM) and risk management activities include the use of derivatives to mitigate risk to the Corporation including derivatives designated in qualifying hedge accounting relationships and derivatives used in other risk management activities. For additionalmore information on ALM and risk management derivatives, see Note 23 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Derivatives Designated as Accounting Hedges
The Corporation uses various types of interest rate commodity and foreign exchange derivative contracts to protect against changes in the fair value of its assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in
interest rates commodity prices and exchange rates (fair value hedges). The Corporation also uses these types of contracts and equity derivatives to protect against changes in the cash flows of its assets and liabilities, and other forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges). The Corporation hedges its net investment in consolidated non-U.S. operations determined to
have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar using forward exchange contracts and cross-currency basis swaps, and by issuing foreign currency-denominated debt (net investment hedges).

The table below summarizes the carrying value of hedged assets and liabilities that are designated and qualifying in fair value hedging relationships along with the cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments included in the carrying value that have been recorded in the current hedging relationships. These fair value hedging adjustments are open basis adjustments that are not subject to amortization as long as the hedging relationship remains designated.

(3)These amounts include the amortized cost basis of the prepayable financial assets used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the last layer expected to be remaining at the end of the hedging relationship. At September 30, 2020, the amortized cost of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was positive. As the derivatives mature, the fair value will approach zero. As a result, ineffectiveness will occur and the fair value changes$40.2 billion, of which $8.4 billion was designated in the derivatives and the long-term debt being hedged may be directionally the same in certain scenarios. Based on a regression analysis, the derivatives continue to be highly effective at offsetting changes in the fairhedging relationship. The cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships totaled $33 million.

Credit Derivatives
The Corporation enters into credit derivatives primarily to facilitate client transactions and to manage credit risk exposures. Credit derivatives derive value based on an underlying third-party referenced obligation or a portfolio of referenced obligations and generally require the Corporation, as the seller of credit protection, to make payments to a buyer upon the occurrence of a pre-defined credit event. Such credit events generally include bankruptcy of the referenced credit entity and failure to pay under the obligation, as well as acceleration of indebtedness and payment repudiation
or moratorium. For credit derivatives based on a portfolio of referenced credits or credit indices, the Corporation may not be required to make payment until a specified amount of loss has occurred and/or may only be required to make payment up to a specified amount.
Credit derivative instruments where the Corporation is the seller of credit protection and their expiration at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are summarized in the following table.

However, the Corporation does not monitor its exposure to credit derivatives based solely on the notional amount because this measure does not take into consideration the probability of occurrence. As such, the notional amount is not a reliable indicator of the Corporation’s exposure to these contracts.
Instead, a risk framework is used to define risk tolerances and establish limits to help ensureso that certain credit risk-related losses occur within acceptable, predefined limits.
Credit-related notes in the table on page 81above include investments in securities issued by collateralized debt obligation (CDO), collateralized loan obligation and credit-linked note vehicles. These instruments are primarily classified as trading securities.

Includes other-than-temporary impaired AFS debt securities on which an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) loss, primarily related to changes in interest rates, remains in accumulated OCI.
Bank of America 68
The Corporation had $0and $33 million of credit-related OTTI losses on AFS debt securities that were recognized in other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $2 million and $14 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The amount of noncredit-related OTTI losses, which are recognized in OCI, was insignificant for all periods presented.
The cumulative credit loss component of OTTI losses that have been recognized in income related to AFS debt securities that the Corporation does not intend to sell was $284 million and $248 million at September 30, 2017 and 2016.
The Corporation estimates the portion of a loss on a security that is attributable to credit using a discounted cash flow model and estimates the expected cash flows of the underlying collateral
using internal credit, interest rate and prepayment risk models that incorporate management’s best estimate of current key assumptions such as default rates, loss severity and prepayment rates. Assumptions used for the underlying loans that support the MBS can vary widely from loan to loan and are influenced by such factors as loan interest rate, geographic location of the borrower, borrower characteristics and collateral type. Based on these assumptions, the Corporation then determines how the underlying collateral cash flows will be distributed to each MBS issued from the applicable special purpose entity. Expected principal and interest cash flows on an impaired AFS debt security are discounted using the effective yield of each individual impaired AFS debt security.

Significant assumptions used in estimating the expected cash flows for measuring credit losses on non-agency RMBS were as follows at September 30, 2017.

The value of a variable below which the indicated percentile of observations will fall.
Annual constant prepayment speed and loss severity rates are projected considering collateral characteristics such as loan-to-value (LTV), creditworthiness of borrowers as measured using Fair
Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores, and geographic concentrations. The weighted-average severity by collateral type was 17.5 percent for prime, 18.4 percent for Alt-A and 29.5 percent for subprime at September 30, 2017. Additionally, default rates are projected by considering collateral characteristics including, but not limited to, LTV, FICO and geographic concentration. Weighted-average life default rates by collateral type were 15.6 percent for prime, 21.7 percent for Alt-A and 22.1 percent for subprime at September 30, 2017.
The remaining contractual maturity distribution and yields of the Corporation’s debt securities carried at fair value and HTM debt securities at September 30, 20172020 are summarized in the table below. Actual duration and yields may differ as prepayments on the loans underlying the mortgages or other asset-backed securities (ABS) are passed through to the Corporation.

The Corporation pledged $143.1 billion of loans to secure potential borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB. This amount is not included in the parenthetical disclosure of loans and leases pledged as collateral on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as there were no related outstanding borrowings.
The Corporation categorizes consumer real estate loans as core and non-core based on loan and customer characteristics such as origination date, product type, LTV, FICOFair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score and delinquency status consistent with its current consumer and mortgage servicing strategy. Generally, loans that were originated after January 1, 2010, qualified under government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) underwriting guidelines, or otherwise met the Corporation'sCorporation’s underwriting guidelines in place in 2015 are characterized as core loans. Loans held in legacy private-label securitizations, government-insuredAll other loans originated prior to 2010, loan products no longer originated, and loans originated prior to 2010 and classified as nonperforming or modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) prior to 2016 are generally characterized as non-core loans and are principally run-offrepresent runoff portfolios.
The Corporation has entered into long-term credit protection agreements with FNMAFannie Mae and FHLMCFreddie Mac on loans totaling $6.5$8.8 billion
and $6.4$7.5 billion at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, providing full credit protection on residential mortgage loans that become severely delinquent. All of these loans are individually insured, and therefore the Corporation does not record an allowance for credit losses related to these loans.
Nonperforming Loans and Leases
The Corporation classifies junior-lien home equityCommercial nonperforming loans as nonperforming when the first-lien loan becomes 90 days past due even if the junior-lien loan is performing. Atincreased to $2.2 billion at September 30, 2017 and2020 from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2016, $336 million2019 with broad-based increases across multiple industries. Consumer nonperforming loans increased to $2.4 billion at September 30, 2020 from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2019 driven by loans with deferrals that expired and $428have subsequently become nonperforming, as well as the inclusion of $137 million of such junior-lien home equity loans were included in nonperforming loans.
The Corporation classifies consumer real estatecertain loans that have been discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcywere previously classified as purchased credit-impaired loans and not reaffirmed by the borrower as TDRs, irrespective of payment history or delinquency status, even if the repayment termsaccounted for the loan have

not been otherwise modified. The Corporation continues to have a lien on the underlying collateral. At September 30, 2017, nonperforming loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy with no change in repayment terms were $379 million of which $224 million were current on their contractual payments, while $127 million were 90 days or more past due. Of the contractually current nonperforming loans, approximately 78 percent were discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy over 12 months ago, and approximately 68 percent were discharged 24 months or more ago.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation sold nonperforming and other delinquent consumer real estate loans with a carrying value of $700 million and $1.2 billion, including $538 million and $742 million of PCI loans, compared to $360 million and $1.8 billion, including $111 million and $435 million of PCI loans, for the same periods in 2016. The Corporation recorded net recoveries of $88 million and $102 million related to these sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net recoveries of $6 million and net charge-offs of $39 million for the same periods in 2016. Gains related to these sales of $38 million and $50 million
were recorded in other income in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to gains of $19 million and $63 million for the same periods in 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation transferred nonperforming loans with a net carrying value of $198 million to held-for-sale, which have been subsequently sold during the nine-month period. There were no transfers of nonperforming loans to held-for-sale for the same period in 2016.
The table below presents the Corporation’s nonperforming loans and leases including nonperforming TDRs, and loans accruing past due 90 days or more at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016.2019. Nonperforming loans held-for-sale (LHFS) are excluded from nonperforming loans and leases as they are recorded at either fair value or the lower of cost or fair value.

Consumer Real Estate
To estimate ECL for consumer loans secured by residential real estate, the Corporation estimates the number of loans that will default over the life of the existing portfolio, after factoring in estimated prepayments, using quantitative modeling methodologies. The attributes that are most significant in estimating the Corporation’s ECL include refreshed loan-to-value (LTV) or, in the case of a subordinated lien, refreshed combined LTV (CLTV), borrower credit score, months since origination and geography, all of which are further broken down by present collection status (whether the loan is current, delinquent, in default, or in bankruptcy). The estimates are based on the Corporation’s historical experience with the loan portfolio,
adjusted to reflect the economic outlook. The outlook on the unemployment rate and consumer real estate prices are key factors that impact the frequency and severity of loss estimates. The Corporation does not reserve for credit losses on the unpaid principal balance of loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and long-term standby loans, as these loans are fully insured. The Corporation records a reserve for unfunded lending commitments for the ECL associated with the undrawn portion of the Corporation’s HELOCs, which can only be canceled by the Corporation if certain criteria are met. The ECL associated with these unfunded lending commitments is calculated using the same models and methodologies noted above and incorporate utilization assumptions at time of default.
For loans that are more than 180 days past due and collateral-dependent TDRs, the Corporation bases the allowance on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral as of the reporting date less costs to sell. The fair value of the collateral securing these loans is generally determined using an automated valuation model (AVM) that estimates the value of a property by reference to market data including sales of comparable properties and price trends specific to the Metropolitan Statistical Area in which the property being valued is located. In the event that an AVM value is not available, the Corporation utilizes publicized indices or if these methods provide less reliable valuations, the Corporation uses appraisals or broker price opinions to estimate the fair value of the collateral. While there is inherent imprecision in these valuations, the Corporation believes that they are representative of this portfolio in the aggregate.
For loans that are more than 180 days past due and collateral-dependent TDRs, with the exception of the Corporation’s fully insured portfolio, the outstanding balance of loans that is in excess of the estimated property value after adjusting for costs to sell is charged off. If the estimated property value decreases in periods subsequent to the initial charge-off, the Corporation will record an additional charge-off; however, if the value increases in periods subsequent to the charge-off, the Corporation will adjust the allowance to account for the increase but not to a level above the cumulative charge-off amount.
Credit Quality IndicatorsCards and Other Consumer
Credit cards are revolving lines of credit without a defined maturity date. The estimated life of a credit card receivable is determined by estimating the amount and timing of expected future payments (e.g., borrowers making full payments, minimum payments or somewhere in between) that it will take for a receivable balance to pay off. The ECL on the future payments incorporates the spending behavior of a borrower through time using key borrower-specific factors and the economic outlook described above. The Corporation applies all expected payments in accordance with the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (i.e., paying down the highest interest rate bucket first). Then forecasted future payments are prioritized to pay off the oldest balance until it is brought to zero or an expected charge-off amount. Unemployment rate outlook, borrower credit score, delinquency status and historical payment behavior are all key inputs into the credit card receivable loss forecasting model. Future draws on the credit card lines are excluded from the ECL as they are unconditionally cancellable.

57Bank of America



The ECL for the consumer vehicle lending portfolio is also determined using quantitative methods supplemented with qualitative analysis. The quantitative model estimates ECL giving consideration to key borrower and loan characteristics such as delinquency status, borrower credit score, LTV ratio, underlying collateral type and collateral value.
Commercial
The ECL on commercial loans is forecasted using models that estimate credit losses over the loan’s contractual life at an individual loan level. The models use the contractual terms to forecast future principal cash flows while also considering expected prepayments. For open-ended commitments such as revolving lines of credit, changes in funded balance are captured by forecasting a borrower’s draw and payment behavior over the remaining life of the commitment. For loans collateralized with commercial real estate and for which the underlying asset is the primary source of repayment, the loss forecasting models consider key loan and customer attributes such as LTV ratio, net operating income and debt service coverage, and captures variations in behavior according to property type and region. The commercial real estate model also utilizes key economic variables to forecast market indicators such as rent levels and vacancy rates, which impact the ECL estimate. For all other commercial loans and leases, the loss forecasting model determines the probabilities of transition to different credit risk ratings or default at each point over the life of the asset based on the borrower’s current credit risk rating, industry sector, size of the exposure and the geographic market. The severity of loss is determined based on the type of collateral securing the exposure, the size of the exposure, the borrower’s industry sector, any guarantors and the geographic market. Assumptions of expected loss are conditioned to the economic outlook and the model considers key economic variables such as unemployment rate, gross domestic product, credit risk spreads, asset prices and equity market returns.
In addition to the allowance for loan and lease losses, the Corporation also estimates ECL related to unfunded lending commitments such as letters of credit, financial guarantees, unfunded bankers acceptances and binding loan commitments, excluding commitments accounted for under the fair value option. Reserves are estimated for the unfunded exposure using the same models and methodologies as the funded exposure and are reported as reserves for unfunded lending commitments.
Securities
The Corporation monitorsevaluates each available-for-sale (AFS) security where the value has declined below amortized cost. If the Corporation intends to sell or believes it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security, it is written down to fair value through earnings. For AFS debt securities the Corporation intends to hold, the Corporation evaluates the debt securities for ECL except for debt securities that are guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agencies or sovereign entities of high credit quality within its Consumer Real Estate, Credit Cardwhere the Corporation applies a zero credit loss assumption. For the remaining AFS debt securities, the Corporation considers qualitative parameters such as internal and Other Consumer,external credit ratings and Commercial portfolio segments based on primary credit quality indicators. Within the consumer portfolio segments, the primary credit quality indicators are refreshed LTV and refreshed FICO score. Refreshed LTV measures the carrying value of underlying collateral. If an AFS debt security fails any of the loanqualitative parameters, a discounted cash flow analysis is used by the Corporation to determine if a portion of the unrealized loss is a result of a credit loss. Any credit losses determined are recognized as a percentagean increase to the allowance for credit losses through provision expense recorded in other income. Cash flows
expected to be collected are estimated using all relevant information available such as, remaining payment terms, prepayment speeds, the financial condition of the issuer, expected defaults and the value of the property securing the loan, refreshed quarterly. FICO score measures the creditworthinessunderlying collateral. If any of the borrower baseddecline in fair value is related to market factors, that amount is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI). In certain instances, the credit loss may exceed the total decline in fair value, in which case, the allowance recorded is limited to the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the asset.
The Corporation separately evaluates its held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities for any credit losses, of which substantially all qualify for the zero loss assumption. For the remaining securities, the Corporation performs a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate any credit losses which are then recognized as part of the allowance for credit losses.
Other Assets
For the Corporation’s financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and are not included in debt securities or loans and leases on the financial obligationsConsolidated Balance Sheet, the Corporation evaluates these assets for ECL using various techniques. For assets that are subject to collateral maintenance provisions, including federal funds sold and securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell, where the collateral consists of daily margining of liquid and marketable assets where the margining is expected to be maintained into the foreseeable future, the expected losses are assumed to be 0. For all other assets, the Corporation performs qualitative analyses, including consideration of historical losses and current economic conditions, to estimate any ECL which are then included in a valuation account that is recorded as a contra-asset against the amortized cost basis of the borrowerfinancial asset.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
The Corporation has implemented various consumer and commercial loan modification programs to provide its borrowers relief from the borrower’s credit history. FICO scoreseconomic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), the Corporation has elected to not apply TDR classification to any COVID-19 related loan modifications that were performed after March 1, 2020 to borrowers who were current as of December 31, 2019. Accordingly, these restructurings are typically refreshed quarterly or more
frequently. Within the Commercial portfolio segment, loans are evaluated using the internal classifications of pass rated or reservable criticizednot classified as the primary credit quality indicators.TDRs. In addition, for loans modified in response to these primary credit quality indicators,the COVID-19 pandemic that do not meet the above criteria (e.g., current payment status at December 31, 2019), the Corporation uses otheris applying the guidance included in an interagency statement issued by the bank regulatory agencies. This guidance states that loan modifications performed in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including loan payment deferrals that are up to six months in duration, that were granted to borrowers who were current as of the implementation date of a loan modification program or modifications granted under government mandated modification programs, are not TDRs. For loan modifications that include a payment deferral and are not TDRs, the borrowers' past due and nonaccrual status have not been impacted during the deferral period. The Corporation has continued to accrue interest during the deferral period using a constant effective yield method. For most mortgage, HELOC and commercial loan modifications, the contractual interest that accrued during the deferral period is payable at the maturity of the loan. The Corporation includes these amounts with the unpaid principal balance when computing its allowance for credit quality indicatorslosses. Amounts that are subsequently deemed uncollectible

Paycheck Protection Program
The Corporation is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which is a loan program that originated from the CARES Act and was subsequently expanded by the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. The PPP is designed to provide U.S. small businesses with cash-flow assistance through loans fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA). If the borrower meets certain criteria and uses the proceeds towards certain eligible expenses, the borrower’s obligation to repay the loan can be forgiven up to the full principal amount of the loan and any accrued interest. Upon borrower forgiveness, the SBA pays the Corporation for the principal and accrued interest owed on the loan. If the full principal of the loan is not forgiven, the loan will operate according to the original loan terms with the 100 percent SBA guaranty remaining. As of September 30, 2020,
the Corporation had approximately 343,000 PPP loans with outstanding balances totaling $24.7 billion. As compensation for originating the loans, the Corporation received lender processing fees from the SBA, which are capitalized, along with the loan origination costs, and will be amortized over the loans’ contractual lives and recognized as interest income. Upon forgiveness of a loan and repayment by the SBA, any unrecognized net capitalized fees and costs related to the loan will be recognized as interest income in that period.

Offsetting of Derivatives
The Corporation enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master netting agreements or similar agreements with substantially all of the Corporation’s derivative counterparties. For more information, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statementsof the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following table presents derivative instruments included in derivative assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 by primary risk (e.g., interest rate risk) and the platform, where
applicable, on which these derivatives are transacted. Balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty and cash collateral netting. Total gross derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements which include reducing the balance for counterparty netting and cash collateral received or paid.

ALM and Risk Management Derivatives
The Corporation’s asset and liability management (ALM) and risk management activities include the use of derivatives to mitigate risk to the Corporation including derivatives designated in qualifying hedge accounting relationships and derivatives used in other risk management activities. For more information on ALM and risk management derivatives, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Derivatives Designated as Accounting Hedges
The Corporation uses various types of interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts to protect against changes in the fair value of its assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in
interest rates and exchange rates (fair value hedges). The Corporation also uses these types of contracts to protect against changes in the cash flows of its assets and liabilities, and other forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges). The Corporation hedges its net investment in consolidated non-U.S. operations determined to have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar using forward exchange contracts and cross-currency basis swaps, and by issuing foreign currency-denominated debt (net investment hedges).
Fair Value Hedges
The following table summarizes information related to fair value hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Cash Flow and Net Investment Hedges
The following table summarizes certain information related to cash flow hedges and net investment hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Of the $408 million after-tax net gain ($542 million pretax) on derivatives in accumulated OCI at September 30, 2020, gains of $191 million after-tax ($252 million pretax) related to open cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings
in the next 12 months. These net gains reclassified into earnings are expected to primarily increase net interest income related to the respective hedged items. For terminated cash flow hedges, the time period over which the majority of the forecasted transactions are hedged is approximately 3 years, with a maximum length of time for certain forecasted transactions of 16 years.

Transfers of Financial Assets with Risk Retained through Derivatives
The Corporation enters into certain transactions involving the transfer of financial assets that are accounted for as sales where substantially all of the economic exposure to the transferred financial assets is retained through derivatives (e.g., interest rate and/or credit), but the Corporation does not retain control over the assets transferred. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Corporation had transferred $5.1 billion and $5.2 billion of non-U.S. government-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities (MBS) to a third-party trust and retained economic exposure to the transferred assets through derivative contracts. In connection with these transfers, the Corporation received gross cash proceeds of $5.1 billion and $5.2 billion at the transfer dates. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of the transferred securities was $5.2 billion and $5.3 billion.
Sales and Trading Revenue
The Corporation enters into trading derivatives to facilitate client transactions and to manage risk exposures arising from trading
account assets and liabilities. It is the Corporation’s policy to include these derivative instruments in its trading activities, which include derivatives and non-derivative cash instruments. The resulting risk from these derivatives is managed on a portfolio basis as part of the Corporation’s Global Markets business segment. For more information on sales and trading revenue, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following table, which includes both derivatives and non-derivative cash instruments, identifies the amounts in the respective income statement line items attributable to the Corporation’s sales and trading revenue in Global Markets, categorized by primary risk, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. This table includes debit valuation adjustment (DVA) and funding valuation adjustment (FVA) gains (losses). Global Markets results in Note 17 – Business Segment Information are presented on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis. The table below is not presented on an FTE basis.

Credit Derivatives
The Corporation enters into credit derivatives primarily to facilitate client transactions and to manage credit risk exposures. Credit derivatives are classified as investment and non-investment grade based on the credit quality of the underlying referenced obligation. The Corporation considers ratings of BBB- or higher as investment grade. Non-investment grade includes non-rated credit derivative instruments. The Corporation discloses internal categorizations of investment
grade and non-investment grade consistent with how risk is managed for these instruments. For more information on credit derivatives, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Credit derivative instruments where the Corporation is the seller of credit protection and their expiration at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are summarized in the following table.

The notional amount represents the maximum amount payable by the Corporation for most credit derivatives. However, the Corporation does not monitor its exposure to credit derivatives based solely on the notional amount because this measure does not take into consideration the probability of occurrence. As such, the notional amount is not a reliable indicator of the Corporation’s exposure to these contracts.
Instead, a risk framework is used to define risk tolerances and establish limits so that certain credit risk-related losses occur within acceptable, predefined limits.
Credit-related notes in the table above include investments in securities issued by collateralized debt obligation (CDO), collateralized loan obligation and credit-linked note vehicles. These instruments are primarily classified as trading securities.
65Bank of America



The carrying value of these instruments equals the Corporation’s maximum exposure to loss. The Corporation is not obligated to make any payments to the entities under the terms of the securities owned.
Credit-related Contingent Features and Collateral
Certain of the Corporation’s derivative contracts contain credit risk-related contingent features, primarily in the form of ISDA master netting agreements and credit support documentation that enhance the creditworthiness of these instruments compared to other obligations of the respective counterparty with whom the Corporation has transacted. These contingent features may be for the benefit of the Corporation as well as its counterparties with respect to changes in the Corporation’s creditworthiness and the mark-to-market exposure under the derivative transactions. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Corporation held cash and securities collateral of $91.7 billion and $84.3 billion and posted cash and securities collateral of $79.9 billion and $69.1 billion in the normal course of business under derivative agreements, excluding cross-product margining agreements where clients are permitted to margin on a net basis for both derivative and secured financing arrangements.
In connection with certain over-the-counter derivative contracts and other trading agreements, the Corporation can be required to provide additional collateral or to terminate transactions with certain counterparties in the event of a downgrade of the senior debt ratings of the Corporation or certain subsidiaries. The amount of additional collateral required depends on the contract and is usually a fixed incremental amount and/or the market value of the exposure. For more information on credit-related contingent features and collateral, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At September 30, 2020, the amount of collateral, calculated based on the terms of the contracts, that the Corporation and certain subsidiaries could be required to post to counterparties but had not yet posted to counterparties was $1.9 billion, including $945 million for Bank of America, National Association.

Some counterparties are currently able to unilaterally terminate certain contracts, or the Corporation or certain subsidiaries may be required to take other action such as find a suitable replacement or obtain a guarantee. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the liability recorded for these derivative contracts was not significant.

The following table presents the amount of additional collateral that would have been contractually required by derivative contracts and other trading agreements at September 30, 2020 if the rating agencies had downgraded their long-term senior debt ratings for the Corporation or certain subsidiaries by one incremental notch and by an additional second incremental notch.

(4)The Corporation held debt securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that each exceeded 10 percent of shareholders’ equity, with an amortized cost of $193.8 billion and $76.9 billion, and a fair value of $201.0 billion and $79.3 billion at September 30, 2020, and an amortized cost of $157.2 billion and $54.1 billion, and a fair value of $160.6 billion and $55.1 billion at December 31, 2019.

At September 30, 2020, the accumulated net unrealized gain on AFS debt securities, excluding the amount related to debt securities previously transferred to held to maturity, included in accumulated OCI was $4.8 billion, net of the related income tax expense of $1.6 billion. The Corporation had nonperforming AFS debt securities of $25 million and $9 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Effective January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted the new accounting standard for credit losses that requires evaluation of AFS and HTM debt securities for any expected losses with recognition of an allowance for credit losses, when applicable. For more information, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles. At September 30, 2020, the Corporation had $194.8 billion in AFS debt securities, which were primarily
U.S. agency and U.S. Treasury securities that have a zero credit loss assumption. For the remaining $38.9 billion in AFS debt securities, the amount of ECL was insignificant. Substantially all of the Corporation's HTM debt securities are U.S. agency and U.S. Treasury securities and have a zero credit loss assumption.
At September 30, 2020, the Corporation held equity securities at an aggregate fair value of $809 million and other equity securities, as valued under the measurement alternative, at a carrying value of $261 million, both of which are included in other assets. At September 30, 2020, the Corporation also held money market investments at a fair value of $385 million, which are included in time deposits placed and other short-term investments.

Consumer real estate loans 60-89 days past due includes fully-insured loans of $206 million and nonperforming loans of $114 million. Consumer real estate loans 90 days or more past due includes fully-insured loans of $1.1 billion. Consumer real estate loans current or less than 30 days past due includes $856 million and direct/indirect consumer includes $45 million of nonperforming loans.
(2)Total outstandings primarily includes auto and specialty lending loans and leases of $50.4 billion, U.S. securities-based lending loans of $36.7 billion and non-U.S. consumer loans of $2.8 billion.
(3)Consumer loans accounted for under the fair value option includes residential mortgage loans of $257 million and home equity loans of $337 million. Commercial loans accounted for under the fair value option includes U.S. commercial loans of $4.7 billion and non-U.S. commercial loans of $3.1 billion. For more information, see Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements and Note 15 – Fair Value Option.
(4)Total outstandings includes U.S. commercial real estate loans of $59.0 billion and non-U.S. commercial real estate loans of $3.7 billion.
(5)Total outstandings includes loans and leases pledged as collateral of $25.9 billion. The Corporation also pledged $168.2 billion of loans with no related outstanding borrowings to secure potential borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank.
The Corporation categorizes consumer real estate loans as core and non-core based on loan and customer characteristics such as origination date, product type, LTV, Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score and delinquency status consistent with its current consumer and mortgage servicing strategy. Generally, loans that were originated after January 1, 2010, qualified under government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) underwriting guidelines, or otherwise met the Corporation’s underwriting guidelines in place in 2015 are characterized as core loans. All other loans are generally characterized as non-core loans and represent runoff portfolios.
The Corporation has entered into long-term credit protection agreements with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on loans totaling $8.8 billion and $7.5 billion at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, providing full credit protection on residential mortgage loans that become severely delinquent. All of these loans are individually insured, and therefore the Corporation does not record an allowance for credit losses related to these loans.
Nonperforming Loans and Leases
Commercial nonperforming loans increased to $2.2 billion at September 30, 2020 from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2019 with broad-based increases across multiple industries. Consumer nonperforming loans increased to $2.4 billion at September 30, 2020 from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2019 driven by loans with deferrals that expired and have subsequently become nonperforming, as well as the inclusion of $137 million of certain loans that were previously classified as purchased credit-impaired loans and accounted for under a pool basis.
The table below presents the Corporation’s nonperforming loans and leases including nonperforming TDRs, and loans accruing past due 90 days or more at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Nonperforming loans held-for-sale (LHFS) are excluded from nonperforming loans and leases as they are recorded at either fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. For information on the Corporation's interest accrual policies and delinquency status for loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles. For more information on the criteria for classification as nonperforming, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principlesto the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Included in the September 30, 2020 nonperforming loans are $120 million and $17 million of residential mortgage and home equity loans that prior to the January 1, 2020 adoption of the new credit loss standard were not included in nonperforming loans, as they were previously classified as purchased credit-impaired loans and accounted for under a pool basis.
Consumer Real Estate
ImpairedTo estimate ECL for consumer loans secured by residential real estate, the Corporation estimates the number of loans that will default over the life of the existing portfolio, after factoring in estimated prepayments, using quantitative modeling methodologies. The attributes that are most significant in estimating the Corporation’s ECL include refreshed loan-to-value (LTV) or, in the case of a subordinated lien, refreshed combined LTV (CLTV), borrower credit score, months since origination and geography, all of which are further broken down by present collection status (whether the loan is current, delinquent, in default, or in bankruptcy). The estimates are based on the Corporation’s historical experience with the loan portfolio,
adjusted to reflect the economic outlook. The outlook on the unemployment rate and consumer real estate prices are key factors that impact the frequency and severity of loss estimates. The Corporation does not reserve for credit losses on the unpaid principal balance of loans withininsured by the Consumer Real EstateFederal Housing Administration (FHA) and long-term standby loans, as these loans are fully insured. The Corporation records a reserve for unfunded lending commitments for the ECL associated with the undrawn portion of the Corporation’s HELOCs, which can only be canceled by the Corporation if certain criteria are met. The ECL associated with these unfunded lending commitments is calculated using the same models and methodologies noted above and incorporate utilization assumptions at time of default.
For loans that are more than 180 days past due and collateral-dependent TDRs, the Corporation bases the allowance on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral as of the reporting date less costs to sell. The fair value of the collateral securing these loans is generally determined using an automated valuation model (AVM) that estimates the value of a property by reference to market data including sales of comparable properties and price trends specific to the Metropolitan Statistical Area in which the property being valued is located. In the event that an AVM value is not available, the Corporation utilizes publicized indices or if these methods provide less reliable valuations, the Corporation uses appraisals or broker price opinions to estimate the fair value of the collateral. While there is inherent imprecision in these valuations, the Corporation believes that they are representative of this portfolio segment consist entirelyin the aggregate.
For loans that are more than 180 days past due and collateral-dependent TDRs, with the exception of TDRs. Excluding PCIthe Corporation’s fully insured portfolio, the outstanding balance of loans most modificationsthat is in excess of the estimated property value after adjusting for costs to sell is charged off. If the estimated property value decreases in periods subsequent to the initial charge-off, the Corporation will record an additional charge-off; however, if the value increases in periods subsequent to the charge-off, the Corporation will adjust the allowance to account for the increase but not to a level above the cumulative charge-off amount.
Credit Cards and Other Consumer
Credit cards are revolving lines of credit without a defined maturity date. The estimated life of a credit card receivable is determined by estimating the amount and timing of expected future payments (e.g., borrowers making full payments, minimum payments or somewhere in between) that it will take for a receivable balance to pay off. The ECL on the future payments incorporates the spending behavior of a borrower through time using key borrower-specific factors and the economic outlook described above. The Corporation applies all expected payments in accordance with the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (i.e., paying down the highest interest rate bucket first). Then forecasted future payments are prioritized to pay off the oldest balance until it is brought to zero or an expected charge-off amount. Unemployment rate outlook, borrower credit score, delinquency status and historical payment behavior are all key inputs into the credit card receivable loss forecasting model. Future draws on the credit card lines are excluded from the ECL as they are unconditionally cancellable.

57Bank of America



The ECL for the consumer vehicle lending portfolio is also determined using quantitative methods supplemented with qualitative analysis. The quantitative model estimates ECL giving consideration to key borrower and loan characteristics such as delinquency status, borrower credit score, LTV ratio, underlying collateral type and collateral value.
Commercial
The ECL on commercial loans is forecasted using models that estimate credit losses over the loan’s contractual life at an individual loan level. The models use the contractual terms to forecast future principal cash flows while also considering expected prepayments. For open-ended commitments such as revolving lines of credit, changes in funded balance are captured by forecasting a borrower’s draw and payment behavior over the remaining life of the commitment. For loans collateralized with commercial real estate and for which the underlying asset is the primary source of repayment, the loss forecasting models consider key loan and customer attributes such as LTV ratio, net operating income and debt service coverage, and captures variations in behavior according to property type and region. The commercial real estate model also utilizes key economic variables to forecast market indicators such as rent levels and vacancy rates, which impact the ECL estimate. For all other commercial loans and leases, the loss forecasting model determines the probabilities of transition to different credit risk ratings or default at each point over the life of the asset based on the borrower’s current credit risk rating, industry sector, size of the exposure and the geographic market. The severity of loss is determined based on the type of collateral securing the exposure, the size of the exposure, the borrower’s industry sector, any guarantors and the geographic market. Assumptions of expected loss are conditioned to the economic outlook and the model considers key economic variables such as unemployment rate, gross domestic product, credit risk spreads, asset prices and equity market returns.
In addition to the allowance for loan and lease losses, the Corporation also estimates ECL related to unfunded lending commitments such as letters of credit, financial guarantees, unfunded bankers acceptances and binding loan commitments, excluding commitments accounted for under the fair value option. Reserves are estimated for the unfunded exposure using the same models and methodologies as the funded exposure and are reported as reserves for unfunded lending commitments.
Securities
The Corporation evaluates each available-for-sale (AFS) security where the value has declined below amortized cost. If the Corporation intends to sell or believes it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security, it is written down to fair value through earnings. For AFS debt securities the Corporation intends to hold, the Corporation evaluates the debt securities for ECL except for debt securities that are guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agencies or sovereign entities of high credit quality where the Corporation applies a zero credit loss assumption. For the remaining AFS debt securities, the Corporation considers qualitative parameters such as internal and external credit ratings and the value of underlying collateral. If an AFS debt security fails any of the qualitative parameters, a discounted cash flow analysis is used by the Corporation to determine if a portion of the unrealized loss is a result of a credit loss. Any credit losses determined are recognized as an increase to the allowance for credit losses through provision expense recorded in other income. Cash flows
expected to be collected are estimated using all relevant information available such as, remaining payment terms, prepayment speeds, the financial condition of the issuer, expected defaults and the value of the underlying collateral. If any of the decline in fair value is related to market factors, that amount is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI). In certain instances, the credit loss may exceed the total decline in fair value, in which case, the allowance recorded is limited to the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the asset.
The Corporation separately evaluates its held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities for any credit losses, of which substantially all qualify for the zero loss assumption. For the remaining securities, the Corporation performs a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate any credit losses which are then recognized as part of the allowance for credit losses.
Other Assets
For the Corporation’s financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and are not included in debt securities or loans and leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Corporation evaluates these assets for ECL using various techniques. For assets that are subject to collateral maintenance provisions, including federal funds sold and securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell, where the collateral consists of daily margining of liquid and marketable assets where the margining is expected to be maintained into the foreseeable future, the expected losses are assumed to be 0. For all other assets, the Corporation performs qualitative analyses, including consideration of historical losses and current economic conditions, to estimate any ECL which are then included in a valuation account that is recorded as a contra-asset against the amortized cost basis of the financial asset.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
The Corporation has implemented various consumer and commercial loan modification programs to provide its borrowers relief from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), the Corporation has elected to not apply TDR classification to any COVID-19 related loan modifications that were performed after March 1, 2020 to borrowers who were current as of December 31, 2019. Accordingly, these restructurings are not classified as TDRs. In addition, for loans modified in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that do not meet the definitionabove criteria (e.g., current payment status at December 31, 2019), the Corporation is applying the guidance included in an interagency statement issued by the bank regulatory agencies. This guidance states that loan modifications performed in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including loan payment deferrals that are up to six months in duration, that were granted to borrowers who were current as of the implementation date of a loan modification program or modifications granted under government mandated modification programs, are not TDRs. For loan modifications that include a payment deferral and are not TDRs, the borrowers' past due and nonaccrual status have not been impacted during the deferral period. The Corporation has continued to accrue interest during the deferral period using a constant effective yield method. For most mortgage, HELOC and commercial loan modifications, the contractual interest that accrued during the deferral period is payable at the maturity of the loan. The Corporation includes these amounts with the unpaid principal balance when a binding offer is extended to a borrower.computing its allowance for credit losses. Amounts that are subsequently deemed uncollectible

Paycheck Protection Program
The Corporation is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which is a loan program that originated from the CARES Act and was subsequently expanded by the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. The PPP is designed to provide U.S. small businesses with cash-flow assistance through loans fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA). If the borrower meets certain criteria and uses the proceeds towards certain eligible expenses, the borrower’s obligation to repay the loan can be forgiven up to the full principal amount of the loan and any accrued interest. Upon borrower forgiveness, the SBA pays the Corporation for the principal and accrued interest owed on the loan. If the full principal of the loan is not forgiven, the loan will operate according to the original loan terms with the 100 percent SBA guaranty remaining. As of September 30, 2020,
the Corporation had approximately 343,000 PPP loans with outstanding balances totaling $24.7 billion. As compensation for originating the loans, the Corporation received lender processing fees from the SBA, which are capitalized, along with the loan origination costs, and will be amortized over the loans’ contractual lives and recognized as interest income. Upon forgiveness of a loan and repayment by the SBA, any unrecognized net capitalized fees and costs related to the loan will be recognized as interest income in that period.

ALM and Risk Management Derivatives
The Corporation’s asset and liability management (ALM) and risk management activities include the use of derivatives to mitigate risk to the Corporation including derivatives designated in qualifying hedge accounting relationships and derivatives used in other risk management activities. For more information on ALM and risk management derivatives, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Derivatives Designated as Accounting Hedges
The Corporation uses various types of interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts to protect against changes in the fair value of its assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in
interest rates and exchange rates (fair value hedges). The Corporation also uses these types of contracts to protect against changes in the cash flows of its assets and liabilities, and other forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges). The Corporation hedges its net investment in consolidated non-U.S. operations determined to have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar using forward exchange contracts and cross-currency basis swaps, and by issuing foreign currency-denominated debt (net investment hedges).

(2)At September 30, 2020, the cumulative fair value adjustments remaining on long-term debt and AFS debt securities from discontinued hedging relationships resulted in an increase in the related liability of $1.3 billion and a decrease in the related asset of $6 million compared to a decrease in the related liability of $1.3 billion and an increase in the related asset of $8 million at December 31, 2019, which are being amortized over the remaining contractual life of the de-designated hedged items.
(3)These amounts include the amortized cost basis of the prepayable financial assets used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the last layer expected to be remaining at the end of the hedging relationship. At September 30, 2020, the amortized cost of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $40.2 billion, of which $8.4 billion was designated in the hedging relationship. The cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships totaled $33 million.
(4)Carrying value represents amortized cost.
Cash Flow and Net Investment Hedges
The following table summarizes certain information related to cash flow hedges and net investment hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Of the $408 million after-tax net gain ($542 million pretax) on derivatives in accumulated OCI at September 30, 2020, gains of $191 million after-tax ($252 million pretax) related to open cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings
in the next 12 months. These net gains reclassified into earnings are expected to primarily increase net interest income related to the respective hedged items. For terminated cash flow hedges, the time period over which the majority of the forecasted transactions are hedged is approximately 3 years, with a maximum length of time for certain forecasted transactions of 16 years.

Transfers of Financial Assets with Risk Retained through Derivatives
The Corporation enters into certain transactions involving the transfer of financial assets that are accounted for as sales where substantially all of the economic exposure to the transferred financial assets is retained through derivatives (e.g., interest rate and/or credit), but the Corporation does not retain control over the assets transferred. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Corporation had transferred $5.1 billion and $5.2 billion of non-U.S. government-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities (MBS) to a third-party trust and retained economic exposure to the transferred assets through derivative contracts. In connection with these transfers, the Corporation received gross cash proceeds of $5.1 billion and $5.2 billion at the transfer dates. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of the transferred securities was $5.2 billion and $5.3 billion.
Sales and Trading Revenue
The Corporation enters into trading derivatives to facilitate client transactions and to manage risk exposures arising from trading
account assets and liabilities. It is the Corporation’s policy to include these derivative instruments in its trading activities, which include derivatives and non-derivative cash instruments. The resulting risk from these derivatives is managed on a portfolio basis as part of the Corporation’s Global Markets business segment. For more information on sales and trading revenue, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following table, which includes both derivatives and non-derivative cash instruments, identifies the amounts in the respective income statement line items attributable to the Corporation’s sales and trading revenue in Global Markets, categorized by primary risk, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. This table includes debit valuation adjustment (DVA) and funding valuation adjustment (FVA) gains (losses). Global Markets results in Note 17 – Business Segment Information are presented on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis. The table below is not presented on an FTE basis.

Credit Derivatives
The Corporation enters into credit derivatives primarily to facilitate client transactions and to manage credit risk exposures. Credit derivatives are classified as investment and non-investment grade based on the credit quality of the underlying referenced obligation. The Corporation considers ratings of BBB- or higher as investment grade. Non-investment grade includes non-rated credit derivative instruments. The Corporation discloses internal categorizations of investment
grade and non-investment grade consistent with how risk is managed for these instruments. For more information on credit derivatives, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Credit derivative instruments where the Corporation is the seller of credit protection and their expiration at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are summarized in the following table.

The notional amount represents the maximum amount payable by the Corporation for most credit derivatives. However, the Corporation does not monitor its exposure to credit derivatives based solely on the notional amount because this measure does not take into consideration the probability of occurrence. As such, the notional amount is not a reliable indicator of the Corporation’s exposure to these contracts.
Instead, a risk framework is used to define risk tolerances and establish limits so that certain credit risk-related losses occur within acceptable, predefined limits.
Credit-related notes in the table above include investments in securities issued by collateralized debt obligation (CDO), collateralized loan obligation and credit-linked note vehicles. These instruments are primarily classified as trading securities.
65Bank of America



The carrying value of these instruments equals the Corporation’s maximum exposure to loss. The Corporation is not obligated to make any payments to the entities under the terms of the securities owned.
Credit-related Contingent Features and Collateral
Certain of the Corporation’s derivative contracts contain credit risk-related contingent features, primarily in the form of ISDA master netting agreements and credit support documentation that enhance the creditworthiness of these instruments compared to other obligations of the respective counterparty with whom the Corporation has transacted. These contingent features may be for the benefit of the Corporation as well as its counterparties with respect to changes in the Corporation’s creditworthiness and the mark-to-market exposure under the derivative transactions. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Corporation held cash and securities collateral of $91.7 billion and $84.3 billion and posted cash and securities collateral of $79.9 billion and $69.1 billion in the normal course of business under derivative agreements, excluding cross-product margining agreements where clients are permitted to margin on a net basis for both derivative and secured financing arrangements.
In connection with certain over-the-counter derivative contracts and other trading agreements, the Corporation can be required to provide additional collateral or to terminate transactions with certain counterparties in the event of a downgrade of the senior debt ratings of the Corporation or certain subsidiaries. The amount of additional collateral required depends on the contract and is usually a fixed incremental amount and/or the market value of the exposure. For more information on credit-related contingent features and collateral, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At September 30, 2020, the amount of collateral, calculated based on the terms of the contracts, that the Corporation and certain subsidiaries could be required to post to counterparties but had not yet posted to counterparties was $1.9 billion, including $945 million for Bank of America, National Association.
Some counterparties are currently able to unilaterally terminate certain contracts, or the Corporation or certain subsidiaries may be required to take other action such as find a suitable replacement or obtain a guarantee. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the liability recorded for these derivative contracts was not significant.
The following table presents the amount of additional collateral that would have been contractually required by derivative contracts and other trading agreements at September 30, 2020 if the rating agencies had downgraded their long-term senior debt ratings for the Corporation or certain subsidiaries by one incremental notch and by an additional second incremental notch.

(3)Includes securities pledged as collateral of $55.7 billion and $67.0 billion at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
(4)The Corporation held debt securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that each exceeded 10 percent of shareholders’ equity, with an amortized cost of $193.8 billion and $76.9 billion, and a fair value of $201.0 billion and $79.3 billion at September 30, 2020, and an amortized cost of $157.2 billion and $54.1 billion, and a fair value of $160.6 billion and $55.1 billion at December 31, 2019.

At September 30, 2020, the accumulated net unrealized gain on AFS debt securities, excluding the amount related to debt securities previously transferred to held to maturity, included in accumulated OCI was $4.8 billion, net of the related income tax expense of $1.6 billion. The Corporation had nonperforming AFS debt securities of $25 million and $9 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Effective January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted the new accounting standard for credit losses that requires evaluation of AFS and HTM debt securities for any expected losses with recognition of an allowance for credit losses, when applicable. For more information, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles. At September 30, 2020, the Corporation had $194.8 billion in AFS debt securities, which were primarily
U.S. agency and U.S. Treasury securities that have a zero credit loss assumption. For the remaining $38.9 billion in AFS debt securities, the amount of ECL was insignificant. Substantially all of the Corporation's HTM debt securities are U.S. agency and U.S. Treasury securities and have a zero credit loss assumption.
At September 30, 2020, the Corporation held equity securities at an aggregate fair value of $809 million and other equity securities, as valued under the measurement alternative, at a carrying value of $261 million, both of which are included in other assets. At September 30, 2020, the Corporation also held money market investments at a fair value of $385 million, which are included in time deposits placed and other short-term investments.

67Bank of America



In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Corporation recorded gross realized gains on sales of AFS debt securities of $4 million and $383 million and gross realized losses of $2 million and $4 million, resulting in net gains of $2 million and $379 million, with $1 million and $95 million of income taxes attributable to the realized net gain on sales of these AFS debt securities. Sales of AFS debt securities during the three months ended September 30, 2019 were not significant. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Corporation recorded gross realized gains on sales of AFS debt
securities of $228 million and gross realized losses of $112 million, resulting in net gains of $116 million with $28 million of income taxes attributable to the realized net gains on sales of these AFS debt securities.
The table below presents the fair value and the associated gross unrealized losses on AFS debt securities and whether these securities have had gross unrealized losses for less than 12 months or for 12 months or longer at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

(5)Total outstandings includes loans and leases pledged as collateral of $25.9 billion. The Corporation also pledged $168.2 billion of loans with no related outstanding borrowings to secure potential borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank.
The Corporation categorizes consumer real estate loans as core and non-core based on loan and customer characteristics such as origination date, product type, LTV, Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score and delinquency status consistent with its current consumer and mortgage servicing strategy. Generally, loans that were originated after January 1, 2010, qualified under government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) underwriting guidelines, or otherwise met the Corporation’s underwriting guidelines in place in 2015 are characterized as core loans. All other loans are generally characterized as non-core loans and represent runoff portfolios.
The Corporation has entered into long-term credit protection agreements with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on loans totaling $8.8 billion and $7.5 billion at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, providing full credit protection on residential mortgage loans that become severely delinquent. All of these loans are individually insured, and therefore the Corporation does not record an allowance for credit losses related to these loans.
Nonperforming Loans and Leases
Commercial nonperforming loans increased to $2.2 billion at September 30, 2020 from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2019 with broad-based increases across multiple industries. Consumer nonperforming loans increased to $2.4 billion at September 30, 2020 from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2019 driven by loans with deferrals that expired and have subsequently become nonperforming, as well as the inclusion of $137 million of certain loans that were previously classified as purchased credit-impaired loans and accounted for under a pool basis.
The table below presents the Corporation’s nonperforming loans and leases including nonperforming TDRs, and loans accruing past due 90 days or more at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Nonperforming loans held-for-sale (LHFS) are excluded from nonperforming loans and leases as they are recorded at either fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. For information on the Corporation's interest accrual policies and delinquency status for loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles. For more information on the criteria for classification as nonperforming, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2)Residential mortgage loans accruing past due 90 days or more are fully-insured loans. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 residential mortgage includes $561 million and $740 million of loans on which interest had been curtailed by the FHA, and therefore were no longer accruing interest, although principal was still insured, and $276 million and $348 million of loans on which interest was still accruing.
(3)At September 30, 2020, Residential Mortgage and Home Equity include negative allowance on nonperforming loans of $170 million and $106 million.
n/a = not applicable
Included in the September 30, 2020 nonperforming loans are $120 million and $17 million of residential mortgage and home equity loans that prior to the January 1, 2020 adoption of the new credit loss standard were not included in nonperforming loans, as they were previously classified as purchased credit-impaired loans and accounted for under a pool basis.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Corporation monitors credit quality within its Consumer Real Estate, Credit Card and Other Consumer, and Commercial portfolio segments based on primary credit quality indicators. For more information on the portfolio segments, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles. Within the Consumer Real Estate portfolio segment, the primary credit quality indicators are refreshed LTV and refreshed FICO score. Refreshed LTV measures the carrying value of the loan as a percentage of the value of the property securing the loan, refreshed quarterly. Home equity loans are evaluated using CLTV, which measures the carrying value of the Corporation’s loan and available line of credit combined with any outstanding senior liens against the property as a percentage of the value of the property securing the loan, refreshed quarterly. FICO score measures the creditworthiness of the borrower based on the financial obligations of the borrower and the borrower’s credit history. FICO scores are typically refreshed quarterly or more
frequently. Certain borrowers (e.g., borrowers that have had debts discharged in a bankruptcy proceeding) may not have their FICO scores updated. FICO scores are also a primary credit quality indicator for the Credit Card and Other Consumer portfolio segment and the business card portfolio within U.S. small business commercial. Within the Commercial portfolio segment, loans are evaluated using the internal classifications of pass rated or reservable criticized as the primary credit quality indicators. The term reservable criticized refers to those commercial loans that are internally classified or listed by the Corporation as Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful, which are asset quality categories defined by regulatory authorities. These assets have an elevated level of risk and may have a high probability of default or total loss. Pass rated refers to all loans not considered reservable criticized. In addition to these primary credit quality indicators, the Corporation uses other credit quality indicators for certain types of loans.
The following tables present certain credit quality indicators for the Corporation's Consumer Real Estate, Credit Card and Other Consumer, and Commercial portfolio segments by class of financing receivables and year of origination for term loan balances at September 30, 2020, including revolving loans that converted to term loans without an additional credit decision after origination or through a TDR.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
The Corporation began entering into loan modifications with borrowers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which have not been classified as TDRs, and therefore are not included in the discussion below. For more information on the criteria for classifying loans as TDRs, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
Consumer Real Estate
Modifications of consumer real estate loans are classified as TDRs when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and a concession has been granted. Concessions may include reductions in interest rates, capitalization of past due amounts, principal and/or interest forbearance, payment extensions, principal and/or interest forgiveness, or combinations thereof. Prior to permanently modifying a loan, the Corporation may enter into trial modifications with certain borrowers under both government and proprietary programs. Trial modifications generally represent a three- to four-month period during which
the borrower makes monthly payments under the anticipated modified payment terms. Upon successful completion of the trial period, the Corporation and the borrower enter into a permanent modification. Binding trial modifications are classified as TDRs when the trial offer is made and continue to be classified as TDRs regardless of whether the borrower enters into a permanent modification.
Consumer real estate loans of $385 million that have been discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy with no change in repayment terms and not reaffirmed by the borrower of $1.2 billion were included in TDRs at September 30, 2017,2020, of which $379$101 million were classified as nonperforming and $442$71 million were loans fully-insured byfully insured.
Consumer real estate TDRs are measured primarily based on the net present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. If the carrying value of a TDR exceeds this amount, a specific allowance is recorded as a component of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Alternatively, consumer real estate TDRs that are considered to be dependent solely on the collateral for repayment (e.g., due to the lack of income verification) are measured based on the estimated fair value of the collateral, and a charge-off is recorded if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the collateral. Consumer real estate loans that reach 180 days past due prior to modification are charged off to their net realizable value, less costs to sell, before they are modified as TDRs in accordance with established policy. Subsequent declines in the fair value of the collateral after a loan has reached 180 days

FHA. For more information
past due are recorded as charge-offs. Fully-insured loans are protected against principal loss, and therefore, the Corporation does not record an allowance for loan and lease losses on loans dischargedthe outstanding principal balance, even after they have been modified in Chapter 7 bankruptcy, see Nonperforming Loans and Leases in this Note.a TDR.
At both September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, remaining commitments to lend additional funds to debtors whose terms have been modified in a consumer real estate TDR were immaterial.not significant. Consumer real estate foreclosed properties totaled $259$135 million and $363$229 million at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016.2019. The carrying value of consumer real estate loans, including fully-insured and PCI loans, for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process at September 30, 20172020 was $3.7$1.3 billion. DuringAlthough the threeCorporation has paused formal loan foreclosure proceedings and foreclosure sales for occupied properties, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, the Corporation reclassified $198 million and $624$169 million of consumer real
estate loans completed or which were in process prior to the pause in foreclosures, to foreclosed properties or, for properties acquired upon foreclosure of certain government-guaranteed loans (principally FHA-insured loans), to other assets. This compared to reclassifications of $326 million and $1.1 billion for the same periods in 2016. The reclassifications represent non-cash investing activities and, accordingly, are not reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The table below provides the unpaid principal balance, carrying value and related allowance at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and the average carrying value and interest income recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 for impaired loans in the Corporation’s Consumer Real Estate portfolio segment. Certain impaired consumer real estate loans do not have a related allowance as the current valuation of these impaired loans exceeded the carrying value, which is net of previously recorded charge-offs.

Credit Card and Other Consumer
Impaired loans within the Credit Card and Other Consumer portfolio segment consist entirely of loans that have been modified in TDRs. The Corporation seeks to assist customers that are experiencing financial difficulty by modifying loans while ensuring compliance with federal local and internationallocal laws and guidelines. Credit card and other consumer loan modifications generally involve reducing the interest rate on the account, and placing the customer on a fixed payment plan not exceeding 60 months all of which are considered TDRs. In substantially all cases,and canceling the customer’s available line of credit, is canceled.all of which are considered TDRs. The Corporation makes loan modifications directly with borrowers for debt held only by the Corporation (internal programs). Additionally, the Corporation makes loan modifications for borrowers working with third-party renegotiation
renegotiation agencies that provide solutions to customers’ entire unsecured debt structures (external programs). The Corporation classifies other secured consumer loans that have been discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy as TDRs which are written down to collateral value and placed on nonaccrual status no later than the time of discharge. For more information on the regulatory guidance on loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy, see Nonperforming Loans and Leases in this Note.

Credit card and other consumer loans are deemed to be in payment default during the quarter in which a borrower misses the second of two2 consecutive payments. Payment defaults are one of the factors considered when projecting future cash flows in the calculation of the allowance for loan and lease losses for impaired credit card and other consumer loans.consumer. Based on historical experience, the Corporation estimates that 1314 percent of both new U.S. credit card TDRs and 22 percent of new direct/indirect consumer TDRs may be in payment default within 12 months after modification. Loans that entered into payment default during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 that had been modified in a TDR during the preceding 12 months were $7 million and $19 million for U.S. credit card and $1 million and $3 million for direct/indirect consumer. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, loans that entered into payment default that had been modified in a TDR during the preceding 12 months were $7 million
and $23 million for U.S. credit card, $31 million and $95 million for non-U.S. credit card, and $0 and $2 million for direct/indirect consumer.
Commercial Loans
ImpairedModifications of loans to commercial borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty are designed to reduce the Corporation’s loss exposure while providing the borrower with an opportunity to work through financial difficulties, often to avoid foreclosure or bankruptcy. Each modification is unique and reflects the individual circumstances of the borrower. Modifications that result in a TDR may include extensions of maturity at a concessionary (below market) rate of interest, payment forbearances or other actions designed to benefit the borrower while mitigating the Corporation’s risk exposure.
Reductions in interest rates are rare. Instead, the interest rates are typically increased, although the increased rate may not represent a market rate of interest. Infrequently, concessions may also include principal forgiveness in connection with foreclosure, short sale or other settlement agreements leading to termination or sale of the loan.
At the time of restructuring, the loans include nonperforming loans and TDRs (both performing and nonperforming).are remeasured to reflect the impact, if any, on projected cash flows resulting from the modified terms. If a portion of the loan is deemed to be uncollectible, a charge-off may be recorded at the time of restructuring. Alternatively, a charge-off may have already been recorded in a previous period such that no charge-off is required at the time of modification.

A commercial TDR is generally deemed to be in payment default when the loan is 90 days or more past due, including delinquencies that were not resolved as part of the modification. U.S. small business commercial TDRs are deemed to be in payment default during the quarter in which a borrower misses the second of two consecutive payments. Payment defaults are one of the factors considered when projecting future cash flows, along with observable market prices or fair value of collateral when measuring the allowance for loan and lease losses. TDRs that were in payment default had a carrying value of $57 million and $123 million for U.S. commercial, $32 million and $17 million for commercial real estate and $0 and $2 million for U.S. small business commercial at September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Purchased Credit-impaired Loans
The table below shows activity for the accretable yield on PCI loans, which include the Countrywide Financial Corporation (Countrywide) portfolio and loans repurchased in connection with the 2013 settlement with FNMA. The amount of accretable yield is affected by changes in credit outlooks, including metrics such as default rates and loss severities, prepayment speeds, which can change the amount and period of time over which interest payments are expected to be received, and the interest rates on variable rate loans. The reclassifications from nonaccretable difference in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were primarily due to an increase in the expected principal and interest cash flows due to lower default estimates.

NOTE 5 Allowance for Credit Losses
The table below summarizes the changesmonth in which the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment foraccount becomes 180 days past due, within 60 days after receipt of notification of death or bankruptcy, or upon confirmation of fraud. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020, the Corporation reversed $111 million and 2016.$417 million of interest and fee income against the income statement line item in which it was originally recorded upon charge-off of the principal balance of the loan.
For the outstanding residential mortgage, home equity, direct/indirect consumer and commercial loan balances classified as nonperforming during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Corporation reversed $11 million and $29 million of interest and fee income at the time the loans were classified as nonperforming against the income statement line item in which it was originally recorded. For more information on the Corporation's nonperforming loan policies, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted the new accounting standard that requires the measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be based on management’s best estimate of lifetime ECL inherent in the Corporation’s relevant financial assets. Upon adoption of the new accounting standard, the Corporation recorded a $3.3 billion, or 32 percent, increase in the allowance for credit losses on January 1, 2020, which was comprised of a net increase of $2.9 billion in the allowance for loan and lease losses and a $310 million increase in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The net increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses was primarily driven by a $3.1 billion increase in credit card as the Corporation now reserves for the life of these receivables. The increase in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments included $119 million in the consumer portfolio for the undrawn portion of HELOCs and $191 million in the commercial portfolio. For more information on the Corporation's credit loss accounting policies including the allowance for credit losses see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles.

The allowance for credit losses is estimated using quantitative and qualitative methods that consider a variety of factors such as historical loss experience, the current credit quality of the portfolio as well as an economic outlook over the life of the loan. Qualitative reserves cover losses that are expected but, in the Corporation's assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative methods or the economic assumptions. The Corporation incorporates forward-looking information through the use of several macroeconomic scenarios in determining the weighted economic outlook over the forecasted life of the assets. These scenarios include key macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rate and home price index. The scenarios that are chosen each quarter and the weighting given to each scenario depend on a variety of factors including recent economic events, leading economic indicators, internal and third-party economist views, and industry trends.

As of January 1, 2020, to determine the allowance for credit losses, the Corporation used a series of economic outlooks that resulted in an economic outlook that was weighted towards the potential of a recession with some expectation of tail risk similar to the severely adverse scenario used in stress testing. Various economic outlooks were also used in the September 30, 2020 estimate for allowance for credit losses that included consensus estimates, multiple downside scenarios which assumed a significantly longer period until economic recovery, a tail risk scenario similar to the severely adverse scenario used in stress testing and an upside scenario to reflect the potential for continued improvement in the consensus outlooks. The unemployment rate under this weighted economic outlook is nearly 9 percent as of the fourth quarter of 2020 and continues to gradually decline to 7 percent in late 2021. Additionally, in this economic outlook, gross domestic product returns to pre-pandemic levels in late 2022.
The Corporation also factored into its allowance for credit losses an estimated impact from higher-risk segments that included leveraged loans and industries such as travel and entertainment, which have been adversely impacted from the effects of COVID-19, as well as the energy sector. The Corporation also holds additional reserves for borrowers who requested deferrals that take into account their credit characteristics and payment behavior subsequent to deferral.
The allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2020 was $21.5 billion, an increase of $8.0 billion compared to January 1, 2020. The increase in the allowance for credit losses was driven by the deterioration in the economic outlook resulting from the impact of COVID-19. The increase in the allowance for credit losses was comprised of a net increase of $7.2 billion in the allowance for loan and lease losses and a $787 million increase in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses was attributed to $415 million in the consumer real estate portfolio, $2.4 billion in the credit card and other consumer portfolio, and $4.4 billion in the commercial portfolio.
Outstanding loans and leases excluding loans accounted for under the fair value option decreased $27.2 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, driven by consumer loans, which decreased $26.0 billion primarily due to a decline in credit card loans from reduced consumer spending.

NOTE 7Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees
For information on representations and warranties obligations and corporate guarantees and related settlement actions, see Note 7 – Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Unresolved Repurchase Claims
Unresolved representations and warranties repurchase claims represent the notional amount of repurchase claims made by counterparties, typically the outstanding principal balance or the unpaid principal balance at the time of default. In the case of first-lien mortgages, the claim amount is often significantly greater than the expected loss amount due to the benefit of collateral and, in some cases, mortgage insurance (MI) or mortgage guarantee payments. Claims received from a counterparty remain outstanding until the underlying loan is repurchased, the claim is rescinded by the counterparty, the Corporation determines that
the applicable statute of limitations has expired, or representations and warranties claims with respect to the applicable trust are settled, and fully and finally released. The Corporation does not include duplicate claims in the amounts disclosed.
The following table presents unresolved repurchase claims at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The unresolved repurchase claims include only claims where the Corporation believes that the counterparty has the contractual right to submit claims. The unresolved repurchase claims predominantly relate to subprime and pay option first-lien loans and home equity loans.

Total unresolved repurchase claims by counterparty, net of duplicate claims$17,602
 $18,277
(1)
Includes $11.3 billion and $11.9 billion of claims based on individual file reviews and $4.7 billion and $4.8 billion of claims submitted without individual file reviews at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation received $71 million in new repurchase claims and $746 million in claims were resolved, including $640 million related to settlements. Of the remaining unresolved monoline claims, substantially all of the claims pertain to second-lien loans and are currently the subject of litigation with a single monoline insurer. There may be additional claims or file requests in the future.
In addition to the unresolved repurchase claims in the Unresolved Repurchase Claims by Counterparty, net of Duplicate Claims table, the Corporation has received notifications from a sponsor of third-party securitizations with whom the Corporation engaged in whole-loan transactions indicating that the Corporation may have indemnity obligations with respect to specific loans for which the Corporation has not received a repurchase request. These notifications were received prior to 2015, and totaled $1.3 billion at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Corporation reached an agreement with the party requesting indemnity, subject to acceptance of a settlement agreement by a securitization trustee; the impact of this agreement is included in the reserve for representations and warranties.
The presence of repurchase claims on a given trust, receipt of notices of indemnification obligations and receipt of other communications, as discussed above, are all factors that inform the Corporation’s reserve for representations and warranties and the corresponding estimated range of possible loss.

Private-label Securitizations and Whole-loan Sales Experience
Prior to 2009, legacy companies and certain subsidiaries sold pools of first-lien residential mortgage loans and home equity loans as private-label securitizations or in the form of whole loans. For more information on private-label securitizations and whole-loan sales experience, see Note 7 – Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the notional amount of unresolved repurchase claims submitted by private-label securitization trustees, whole-loan investors, including third-party securitization sponsors, and others was $16.0 billion and $16.7 billion. The notional amount of unresolved repurchase claims at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 included $6.9 billionand$5.6 billion of claims related to loans in specific private-label securitization groups or tranches where the Corporation owns substantially all of the outstanding securities or will otherwise realize the benefit of any repurchase claims paid.
The overall decrease in the notional amount of outstanding unresolved repurchase claims in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to claims that were resolved as a result of settlements. Outstanding repurchase claims remained unresolved primarily due to (1) the level of detail, support and analysis accompanying such claims, which impact
overall claim quality and, therefore, claims resolution, and (2) the lack of an established process to resolve disputes related to these claims.
Reserve for Representations and Warranties and Corporate Guarantees and Estimated Range of Possible Loss
The reserve for representations and warranties and corporate guarantees is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related provision is included in mortgage banking income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
The Corporation’s representations and warranties reserve and the corresponding estimated range of possible loss at September 30, 2017 considers, among other things, the repurchase experience implied in the settlements with BNY Mellon and other counterparties. Since the securitization trusts that were included in the settlements with BNY Mellon and other counterparties differ from other securitization trusts, the Corporation adjusts the experience implied by those prior settlements based on the characteristics of those trusts where the Corporation has a continuing possibility of timely claims in order to determine the representations and warranties reserve and the corresponding estimated range of possible loss.
The table below presents a rollforward of the reserve for representations and warranties and corporate guarantees.

In February 2016, the Corporation made an $8.5 billion settlement payment to BNY Mellon as part of the settlement with BNY Mellon.
The representations and warranties reserve represents the Corporation’s best estimate of probable incurred losses as of September 30, 2017. However, it is reasonably possible that future representations and warranties losses may occur in excess of the amounts recorded for these exposures. The Corporation currently estimates that the range of possible loss for representations and warranties exposures could be up to $2 billion over existing accruals at September 30, 2017. The Corporation treats claims that are time-barred as resolved and does not consider such claims in the estimated range of possible loss. The estimated range of possible loss reflects principally exposures related to loans in private-label securitization trusts, including related indemnity claims. It represents a reasonably possible loss, but does not
represent a probable loss, and is based on currently available information, significant judgment and a number of assumptions that are subject to change. For more information on the reserve for representations and warranties exposures and the corresponding estimated range of possible loss, see Note 7 – Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017, and Note 7 – Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Offsetting of Securities Financing Agreements
The Corporation enters into securities financing agreements to accommodate customers (also referred to as “matched-book transactions”), obtain securities to cover short positions and to finance inventory positions. Substantially all of the Corporation’s securities financing activities are transacted under legally enforceable master repurchase agreements or legally enforceable master securities lending agreements that give the Corporation, in the event of default by the counterparty, the right to liquidate securities held and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty. For more information on the securities financing agreements and the offsetting of securities financing transactions, see Note 1011 – Federal Funds Sold or Purchased, Securities Financing Agreements, and Short-term Borrowings and Restricted Cash to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Securities Financing Agreements table presents securities financing agreements included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in federal funds sold and securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell, and in federal funds purchased and securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016.2019. Balances are presented on a gross basis, prior to the application of counterparty netting. Gross assets and liabilities are adjusted on an aggregate basis to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements. For more information on the offsetting of derivatives, see Note 23 – Derivatives.

The Corporation is required to post collateral with a market value equal to or in excess of the principal amount borrowed under repurchase agreements. For securities loaned transactions, the Corporation receives collateral in the form of cash, letters of credit or other securities. To help ensure that the market value of the underlying collateral remains sufficient, collateral is generally valued daily, and the Corporation may be required to deposit
additional collateral or may receive or return collateral pledged when appropriate. Repurchase agreements and securities loaned transactions are generally either overnight, continuous (i.e., no stated term) or short-term. The Corporation manages liquidity risks related to these agreements by sourcing funding from a diverse group of counterparties, providing a range of securities collateral and pursuing longer durations, when appropriate.

The Corporation has entered into agreements to purchase retail automotive loans from certain auto loan originators. These agreements provide for stated purchase amounts and contain cancellation provisions that allow the Corporation to terminate its commitment to purchase at any time, with a minimum notification period.

This commitment extends through November 2022 and can be terminated with this commitment expiring on December 31, 2017.12 months prior notice.
The Corporation is a party to operating leases for certain of its premises and equipment. Commitments under these leases are approximately $576 million, $2.3 billion, $2.1 billion, $1.9 billion and $1.6 billion for the remainder of 2017 and the years through 2021, respectively, and $5.8 billion in the aggregate for all years thereafter.
Other Guarantees
Bank-owned Life Insurance Book Value Protection
The Corporation sells products that offer book value protection to insurance carriers who offer group life insurance policies to corporations, primarily banks. At September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the notional amount of these guarantees which are recorded as derivatives totaled $14.0$7.1 billion and $13.9$7.3 billion. At both September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, the Corporation’s maximum exposure related to these guarantees totaled $3.2$1.1 billion, with estimated maturity dates between 20312033 and 2039. The net fair value including the fee receivable associated with these guarantees was $2 million and $4 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and reflects the probability of surrender as well as the multiple structural protection features in the contracts.
Merchant Services
In accordance with credit and debit card association rules, the Corporation sponsors merchant processing servicers that process credit and debit card transactions on behalf of various merchants. In connection with these services,Prior to July 1, 2020, a liability may arise in the event of a billing dispute between the merchant and a cardholder that is ultimately resolved in the cardholder’s favor. If the merchant defaults on its obligation to reimburse the cardholder, the cardholder, through its issuing bank, generally has until six months after the date of the transaction to present a chargeback to the merchant processor, which is primarily liable for any losses on covered transactions. However, if the merchant processor fails to meet its obligation to reimburse the cardholder for disputed transactions, then the Corporation, as the sponsor, could be held liable for the disputed amount. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the sponsored entities processed and settled $200.4 billion and $591.8 billion of transactions and recorded losses of $7 million and $22 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the sponsored entities processed and settled $189.9 billion and $527.7 billion of transactions and recorded losses of $9 million and $23 million. A significant portion of thisthe Corporation's merchant processing activity was processedperformed by a joint venture in which it held a 49 percent ownership interest. On July 29, 2019, the Corporation holdsgave notice to the joint venture partner of the termination of the joint venture upon the conclusion of its current term on June 30, 2020. Effective July 1, 2020, the Corporation received its share of the joint venture's merchant contracts and began performing merchant processing services for these merchants. While merchants bear responsibility for any credit or debit card charges properly reversed by the cardholder, the Corporation, in its role as merchant acquirer, may be held liable for any reversed charges that cannot be collected from the merchants due to, among other things, merchant fraud or insolvency.
The Corporation, as a 49 percent ownership,card network member bank, also sponsors other merchant acquirers, principally its former joint venture partner with respect to merchants distributed to that partner upon the termination of the joint venture. If reversed charges applicable to these merchants cannot be collected from either the merchants or merchant acquirers, the Corporation may be held liable for these reversed charges. The Corporation’s risk in this area primarily relates to circumstances where a cardholder has purchased goods or services for future delivery. The Corporation mitigates this risk by requiring cash deposits, guarantees, letters of credit or other types of collateral from certain merchants. The total amount of transactions processed for the preceding six-month period, which was $311.7 billion, is an estimate of the Corporation’s maximum potential exposure as of September 30, 2020. However, for the reasons described above, the Corporation does not believe the maximum potential exposure is representative of the actual potential loss exposure. At September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Corporation’s reserves for contingent losses and the losses incurred related to the merchant processing activity were not significant. The Corporation will continue to monitor its exposure in this area due to the potential economic impacts of COVID-19.

Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees
For more information on representations and warranties obligations and corporate guarantees, see Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The reserve for representations and warranties obligations and corporate guarantees was $1.4 billion and $1.8 billion at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and is recordedincluded in accrued expenses and other assetsliabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related provision is included in All Other. At bothother income in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The representations and warranties reserve represents the Corporation’s best estimate of probable incurred losses, is based on our experience in previous negotiations, and is subject to judgment, a variety of assumptions, and known or unknown uncertainties. Future representations and warranties losses may occur in excess of the amounts recorded for these exposures; however, the Corporation does not expect such amounts to be material to the Corporation's financial condition and liquidity. See Litigation and Regulatory Matters below for the Corporation's combined range of possible loss in excess of the reserve for representations and warranties and the accrued liability for litigation.
Fixed Income Clearing Corporation Sponsored Member Repo Program
The Corporation acts as a sponsoring member in a repo program whereby the Corporation clears certain eligible resale and repurchase agreements through the Government Securities Division of the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation on behalf of clients that are sponsored members in accordance with the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation’s rules. As part of this program, the Corporation guarantees the payment and performance of its sponsored members to the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation. The Corporation’s guarantee obligation is secured by a security interest in cash or high-quality securities collateral placed by clients with the clearinghouse and therefore, the potential for the Corporation to incur significant losses under this arrangement is remote. The Corporation’s maximum potential exposure, without taking into consideration the related collateral, was $8.0 billion and $9.3 billion at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value of the Corporation's investment in the merchant services joint venture was $2.9 billion.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the maximum potential exposure for sponsored transactions totaled $334.9 billion and $325.7 billion. However, the Corporation believes that the maximum potential exposure is not representative of the actual potential loss exposure and does not expect to make material payments in connection with these guarantees.2019.
Other Guarantees
The Corporation has entered into additional guarantee agreements and commitments, including sold risk participation swaps, liquidity facilities, lease-end obligation agreements, partial credit guarantees on certain leases, real estate joint venture guarantees, divested business commitments and sold put options that require gross settlement. The maximum potential future paymentpayments under these agreements wasare approximately $6.5$9.0 billion and $6.7$8.7 billion at September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016.2019. The estimated maturity dates of these obligations extend up to 2040.2049. The Corporation has made no material payments under these guarantees. For more information on maximum potential future payments under VIE-related liquidity commitments, see Note 6 – Securitizations and Other Variable Interest Entities.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters
The following disclosure supplements the disclosure in Note 1213 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017 (the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure).
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to many pending and threatened legal, regulatory and governmental actions and proceedings.
In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages or where the matters present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, the Corporation generally cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters, will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters, will be, or what the expense,any eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each matter may be.
pending matter.

Bank of America110


In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Corporation establishes an accrued liability when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. As a matter develops, the Corporation, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. Once the loss contingency is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Corporation will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount of litigation-related expense. The Corporation continues to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. Excluding expenses of internal and external legal service providers, litigation-related expense of $140$636 million and $606$717 million was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172020 compared to $250$352 million and $908$539 million for the same periods in 2016.2019.
For a limited number of the matters disclosed in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure, for which a loss, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, is reasonably possible in future periods, the Corporation is able to estimate a range of possible loss. In determining whether it is possible to estimate a range of possible loss, the Corporation reviews and evaluates itsthese matters on an ongoing basis, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments. InWith respect to such matters, in cases in which the Corporation possesses sufficient appropriate information to estimate a range of possible loss, that estimate is aggregated and disclosed below. There may be other previously disclosed matters for which a loss is probable or
reasonably possible but such an estimate of the range of possible loss may not be possible. For those disclosed matters where an estimate of the range of possible loss is possible, as well as for representations and warranties exposures, management currently estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss for these exposures is $0 to $1.5$1.3 billion in excess of the accrued liability, (if any) related to those matters. Thisif any.
The estimated range of possible loss, as well as the Corporation's accrued liability, is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment, and a variety of assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range of possible loss and liability accrual are unpredictable and will change from time to time, and actual resultslosses may vary significantly from the current estimate.estimate or accrual. Therefore, this estimated range of possible loss represents what the Corporation believes to be an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent the Corporation’s maximum loss exposure.
Information has beenis provided in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure regarding the nature of all of these contingenciesthe litigation and, where specified, the amount of the claim associated with these loss contingencies.claimed damages. Based on current knowledge, and taking into account accrued liabilities, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters including the matters described in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosure will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial positioncondition or liquidity of the Corporation. However, in light of the inherentsignificant judgment, variety of assumptions and uncertainties involved in these matters, some of which are beyond the Corporation’s control, and the very large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to the Corporation’s businesses or results of operations or liquidity for any particular reporting period.period, or cause significant reputational harm.

In June 2020, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve) announced that due to economic uncertainty resulting from COVID-19, all large banks would be required to suspend share repurchase programs in the third quarter of 2020, except for repurchases to offset shares awarded under equity-based compensation plans, and to limit dividends to existing rates that do not exceed the average of the last four quarters’ net income.
The Federal Reserve’s directives regarding share repurchases aligned with the Corporation's decision to voluntarily suspend repurchases during the first half of 2020. The suspension of the Corporation's repurchases did not include repurchases to offset shares awarded under its equity-based compensation plans.

In 2017 and through October 30, 2017.


During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, the Corporation repurchased and retired 1244 million and 216 million shares of common stock, in connection with the 2017 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review capital plan, which reduced shareholders'shareholders’ equity by $3.0$114 million and $6.8 billion. This includes shares repurchased to offset the dilution resulting from certain equity-based compensation awards.
The Corporation has warrants outstanding and exercisable to purchase 122 million shares of its common stock expiring on October 28, 2018, and warrants outstanding and exercisable to purchase 150 million shares of common stock expiring on January 16, 2019. These warrants were originally issued in connection with preferred stock issuances to the U.S. Department of the Treasury in 2009 and 2008, and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The exercise price of the warrants expiring on January 16, 2019 is subject to continued adjustment each time the quarterly cash dividend is in excess of $0.01 per common share to compensate the holders of the warrants for dilution resulting from an increased dividend. As a result of the Corporation’s third-quarter 2017 dividend of $0.12 per common share, the exercise price of the warrants expiring on January 16, 2019 was adjusted to $12.807 per share. The warrants expiring on October 28, 2018, which have an exercise price of $30.79 per share, also contain this anti-dilution provision except the adjustment is triggered only when the Corporation declares quarterly dividends at a level greater than $0.32 per common share.

In connection with an investment in the Corporation’s Series T preferred stock in 2011, the Series T holders also received warrants to purchase 700 million shares of the Corporation’s commonunits, restricted stock at an exercise price of $7.142857 per share. On August 24, 2017, the Series T holders exercised the warrants and acquired the 700 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock using the Series T preferred stock as consideration for the exercise price, which increased common shares outstanding, but had no effect on diluted earnings per share as this conversion had been included in the Corporation’s diluted earnings per share calculation under the applicable accounting guidance. The use of the Series T preferred stock as consideration represents a non-cash financing activity and, accordingly, is not reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the 700 million average dilutive potential common shares were included in the diluted share count under the “if-converted” method.warrants.

NOTE 14Fair Value Measurements
Under applicable accounting standards, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Corporation determines the fair values of its financial instruments under applicable accounting standards and conducts a review of its fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Transfers into or out of fair value hierarchy classifications are considered to be effective asmade if the significant inputs used in the financial models measuring the fair values of the beginning ofassets and liabilities become unobservable or observable in the quarter in which they occur.current
marketplace. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2020, there were no changes to valuation approaches or techniques that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Assets (liabilities). For assets, increase (decrease) to Level 3 and for liabilities, (increase) decrease to Level 3.
(2)
Includes gains/losses reported in earnings in the following income statement line items: Trading account assets/liabilities - primarily trading account profits (losses); Net derivative assets - primarily trading account profits (losses) and mortgage banking income (loss); MSRs - primarily mortgage banking income (loss); Long-term debt - trading account profits (losses). For MSRs, the amounts reflect the changes in modeled MSR fair value due to observed changes in interest rates, volatility, spreads and the shape of the forward swap curve, and periodic adjustments to the valuation model to reflect changes in the modeled relationships between inputs and projected cash flows, as well as changes in cash flow assumptions including cost to service.  
(3)
Includes gains/losses in OCI related to unrealized gains/losses on AFS securities, foreign currency translation adjustments and the impact of changes in the Corporation’s credit spreads on long-term debt accounted for under the fair value option. For additional information, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(4)
Net derivatives include derivative assets of $3.9 billion and derivative liabilities of $5.9 billion.
(5)
Amounts represent instruments that are accounted for under the fair value option.
(6)
Issuances represent loan originations and MSRs recognized following securitizations or whole-loan sales.
(7)
Settlements represent the net change in fair value of the MSR asset due to the recognition of modeled cash flows and the passage of time.
Significant transfers Transfers into Level 3 occur primarily due
to decreased price observability, during the three months ended September 30, 2017 included $388 million of trading account assets and $244 million of long-term debt. Transfers occur on a regular basis for long-term debt instruments due to changes in the impact of
unobservable inputs on the value of the embedded derivative in relation to the instrument as a whole.
Significant transfers out of Level 3 occur primarily due to increased price observability, during the three months ended September 30, 2017 included $182 million of trading account assets.

In the previous tables, instruments backed by residential and commercial real estate assets include RMBS, commercial MBS, whole loans and mortgage CDOs. Commercial loans, debt securities and other include corporate CLOs and CDOs, commercial loans and bonds, and securities backed by non-real estate assets. Structured liabilities primarily include equity-linked notes that are accounted for under the fair value option.
The Corporation uses multiple market approaches in valuing certain of its Level 3 financial instruments. For example, market comparables and discounted cash flows are used together. For a given product, such as corporate debt securities, market comparables may be used to estimate some of the unobservable inputs and then these inputs are incorporated into a discounted cash flow model. Therefore, the balances disclosed encompass both of these techniques.
The level of aggregation and diversity within the products disclosed in the tables results in certain ranges of inputs being wide and unevenly distributed across asset and liability categories.
SensitivityUncertainty of Fair Value Measurements to Changes infrom Unobservable Inputs
LoansFor information on the types of instruments, valuation approaches and Securities
A significant increase in market yields, default rates, loss severities or duration would result in a significantly lower fair value for long positions. Short positions would be impacted in a directionally opposite way. Thethe impact of changes in prepayment speeds would have differing impacts depending onunobservable inputs used in Level 3 measurements, see Note 21 – Fair Value Measurements to the seniorityConsolidated Financial Statements of the instrument and, in the case of CLOs, whether prepayments can be reinvested. A significant increase in price would result in a significantly higher fair value for long positions and short positions would be impacted in a directionally opposite way.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
The weighted-average lives and fair value of MSRs are sensitive to changes in modeled assumptions. The weighted-average life is a product of changes in market rates of interest, prepayment rates and other model and cash flow assumptions. The weighted-average life represents the average period of time that the MSRs' cash flows are expected to be received. Absent other changes, an increase (decrease) to the weighted-average life would generally result in an increase (decrease) in the fair value of the MSRs. For example, a 10 percent or 20 percent decrease in prepayment rates, which impact the weighted-average life, could result in an increase in fair value of $88 million or $183 million, while a 10 percent or 20 percent increase in prepayment rates could result in a decrease in fair value of $81 million or $156 million. A 100 bp or 200 bp decrease in option-adjusted spread (OAS) levels could result in an increase in fair value of $74 million or $154 million, while a 100 bp or 200 bp increase in OAS levels could result in a decrease in
fair value of $69 million or $135 million. These sensitivities are hypothetical and actual amounts may vary materially. As the amounts indicate, changes in fair value basedCorporation’s 2019 Annual Report on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of MSRs that continue to be held by the Corporation is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities. In addition, these sensitivities do not reflect any hedge strategies that may be undertaken to mitigate such risk. The Corporation manages the risk in MSRs with derivatives such as options and interest rate swaps, which are not designated as accounting hedges, as well as securities including MBS and U.S. Treasury securities. The securities used to manage the risk in the MSRs are classified in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Structured Liabilities and Derivatives
For credit derivatives, a significant increase in market yield, upfront points (i.e., a single upfront payment made by a protection buyer at inception), credit spreads, default rates or loss severities would result in a significantly lower fair value for protection sellers and higher fair value for protection buyers. The impact of changes in prepayment speeds would have differing impacts depending on the seniority of the instrument.
Structured credit derivatives are impacted by credit correlation. Default correlation is a parameter that describes the degree of dependence among credit default rates within a credit portfolio that underlies a credit derivative instrument. The sensitivity of this input on the fair value varies depending on the level of subordination of the tranche. For senior tranches that are net purchases of protection, a significant increase in default correlation would result in a significantly higher fair value. Net short protection positions would be impacted in a directionally opposite way.
For equity derivatives, commodity derivatives, interest rate derivatives and structured liabilities, a significant change in long-dated rates and volatilities and correlation inputs (i.e., the degree of correlation between an equity security and an index, between two different commodities, between two different interest rates, or between interest rates and foreign exchange rates) would result in a significant impact to the fair value; however, the magnitude and direction of the impact depend on whether the Corporation is long or short the exposure. For structured liabilities, a significant increase in yield or decrease in price would result in a significantly lower fair value. A significant decrease in duration may result in a significantly higher fair value.

Glossary
Alt-A Mortgage A type of U.S. mortgage that is considered riskier than A-paper, or "prime,"“prime,” and less risky than "subprime,"“subprime,” the riskiest category. Alt-A interest rates therefore tend to be between those of prime and subprime consumer real estate loans. Typically, Alt-A mortgages are characterized by borrowers with less than full documentation, lower credit scores and higher LTVs.
Assets in Custody – Consist largely of custodial and non-discretionary trust assets excluding brokerage assets administered for clients. Trust assets encompass a broad range of asset types including real estate, private company ownership interest, personal property and investments.
Assets Under Management (AUM)– The total market value of assets under the investment advisory and/or discretion of GWIM which generate asset management fees based on a percentage of the assets’ market values. AUM reflects assets that are generally managed for institutional, high net worth and retail clients, and are distributed through various investment products including mutual funds, other commingled vehicles and separate accounts.
Banking Book – All on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments of the Corporation except for those positions that are held for trading purposes.
Carrying Value (with respect to loans)Brokerage and Other AssetsThe amount at which a loan is recorded on the balance sheet. For loans recorded at amortized cost, carrying value is the unpaid principal balance net of unamortized deferred loan origination fees and costs and unamortized purchase premiums or discounts, less net charge-offs and interest payments applied as a reduction of principal under the cost recovery method for loans that have been on nonaccrual status. For PCI loans, the carrying value equals fair value upon acquisition adjusted for subsequent cash collections and yield accreted to date. For credit card loans, the carrying value also includes interest that has been billed to the customer. For loans classified as held-for-sale, carrying value is the lower of carrying value as described above, or fair value. For loans where we have elected the fair value option, the carrying value is fair value.
Client Brokerage Assets– ClientNon-discretionary client assets which are held in brokerage accounts including non-discretionary brokerage and fee-based assets that generate brokerage income and asset management fee revenue.or held for safekeeping.
Committed Credit ExposureIncludes anyAny funded portion of a facility plus the unfunded portion of a facility on which the lender is legally bound to advance funds during a specified period under prescribed conditions.
Credit Derivatives – Contractual agreements that provide protection against a specified credit event on one or more referenced obligations. The nature of a credit event is established by the protection purchaser and the protection seller at the inception of the transaction, and such events generally include bankruptcy or insolvency of the referenced credit entity, failure to meet payment obligations when due, as well as acceleration of indebtedness and payment repudiation or moratorium. The purchaser of the credit derivative pays a periodic fee in return for a payment by the protection seller upon the occurrence, if any, of such a credit event. A CDS is a type of a credit derivative.
Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) – A portfolio adjustment required to properly reflect the counterparty credit risk exposure as part of the fair value of derivative instruments.
Debit Valuation Adjustment (DVA)– A portfolio adjustment required to properly reflect the Corporation’s own credit risk exposure as part of the fair value of derivative instruments and/or structured liabilities.
Funding Valuation Adjustment (FVA)– A portfolio adjustment required to include funding costs on uncollateralized derivatives and derivatives where the Corporation is not permitted to use the collateral it receives.
Interest Rate Lock Commitment (IRLC)– Commitment with a loan applicant in which the loan terms including interest rate and price, are guaranteed for a designated period of time subject to credit approval.
Letter of Credit– A document issued on behalf of a customer to a third party promising to pay the third party upon presentation of specified documents. A letter of credit effectively substitutes the issuer’s credit for that of the customer.
Loan-to-value (LTV)– A commonly used credit quality metric. LTV is calculated as the outstanding carrying value of the loan divided by the estimated value of the property securing the loan. Estimated property values are generally determined through the use of automated valuation models (AVMs) or the CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index. An AVM is a tool that estimates the value of a property by reference to large volumes of market data including sales of comparable properties and price trends specific to the Metropolitan Statistical Area in which the property being valued is located. CoreLogic Case-Shiller is a widely used index based on data from repeat sales of single family homes. CoreLogic Case-Shiller indexed-based values are reported on a three-month or one-quarter lag.

Margin Receivable An extension of credit secured by eligible securities in certain brokerage accounts.
Matched Book – Repurchase and resale agreements or securities borrowed and loaned transactions where the overall asset and liability position is similar in size and/or maturity. Generally, these are entered into to accommodate customers where the Corporation earns the interest rate spread.
Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR) – The right to service a mortgage loan when the underlying loan is sold or securitized. Servicing includes collections for principal, interest and escrow payments from borrowers and accounting for and remitting principal and interest payments to investors.
Net Interest Yield– Net interest income divided by average total interest-earning assets.
Nonperforming Loans and Leases– Includes loans and leases that have been placed on nonaccrual status, including nonaccruing loans whose contractual terms have been restructured in a manner that grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. Loans accounted for under the fair value option, PCI loans and LHFS are not reported as nonperforming loans and leases. Credit card receivables, residential mortgage loans that are insured by the FHA or through long-term credit protection agreements with FNMA and FHLMC (fully-insured loan portfolio) and certain other consumer loans are not placed on nonaccrual status and are, therefore, not reported as nonperforming loans and leases.
Operating Margin – Income before income taxes divided by total revenue, net of interest expense.
Pay Option Loans – Pay option adjustable-rate mortgages have interest rates that adjust monthly and minimum required payments that adjust annually. During an initial five- or ten-year period, minimum required payments may increase by no more than 7.5 percent. If payments are insufficient to pay all of the monthly interest charges, unpaid interest is added to the loan balance (i.e., negative amortization) until the loan balance increases to a specified limit, at which time a new monthly payment amount adequate to repay the loan over its remaining contractual life is established.
Prompt Corrective Action (PCA)– A framework established by the U.S. banking regulators requiring banks to maintain certain levels of regulatory capital ratios, comprised of five categories of capitalization: “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” Insured depository institutions that fail to meet certain of these capital levels are subject to increasingly strict limits on their activities, including their ability to make capital distributions, pay management compensation, grow assets and take other actions.
Purchased Credit-impaired (PCI) Loan– A loan purchased as an individual loan, in a portfolio of loans or in a business combination with evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination for which it is probable, upon acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments. These loans are recorded at fair value upon acquisition.
Subprime Loans – Although a standard industry definition for subprime loans (including subprime mortgage loans) does not exist, the Corporation defines subprime loans as specific product offerings for higher risk borrowers, including individuals with one or a combination of high credit risk factors, such as low FICO scores, high debt to income ratios and inferior payment history.borrowers.
Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)– Loans whose contractual terms have been restructured in a manner that grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. Certain consumer loans for which a binding offer to restructure has been extended are also classified as TDRs. Concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate to a rate that is below market on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, loans discharged in bankruptcy or other actions intended to maximize collection. Secured consumer loans that have been discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy and have not been reaffirmed by the borrower are classified as TDRs at the time of discharge from bankruptcy.
Value-at-Risk (VaR)– VaR is a model that simulates the value of a portfolio under a range of hypothetical scenarios in order to generate a distribution of potential gains and losses. VaR represents the loss the portfolio is expected to experience with a given confidence level based on historical data. A VaR model is an effective tool in estimating ranges of potential gains and losses on our trading portfolios.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part 1, Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation's 2016Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (2019 Form 10-K) describes market, credit, geopolitical and business operations risk factors that could affect our businesses, results of operations or financial condition due to, among other things, “widespread health emergencies or pandemics.” On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a strain of novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, a global pandemic. As conditions and circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic evolved subsequent to our 2019 Form 10-K filing, the Corporation disclosed a risk factor in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 captioned “Coronavirus Disease 2019” to supplement the risk factors described in its 2019 Form 10-K. The following supplements the risk factors described in the Corporation’s 2019 Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.
Coronavirus Disease 2019
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant global economic downturn that has adversely affected, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, the Corporation’s businesses and results of operations, and the duration and future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. and/or global economy and the Corporation’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition remain uncertain.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures intended to contain the spread and impact of COVID-19, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and limitations on business activity, including closures. These measures have severely restricted economic activity, reduced economic output and resulted in a deterioration in economic conditions, globally and in the U.S. This has led to, among other things, high rates of unemployment and underemployment and caused volatility and disruptions in consumer spending and the global financial markets, including the energy and commodity markets. Although some of these restrictive measures have been eased in certain areas, many of the restrictive measures remain in place or have been reinstated, and in some cases additional restrictive measures are being or may need to be implemented. Businesses, market participants, our counterparties and clients, and the U.S. and global economy have been negatively impacted and may continue to be so for an extended period of time, as there remains significant uncertainty about the timing and strength of an economic recovery.
The negative economic conditions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted our financial results during the third quarter in various respects, including allowance for credit losses and noninterest expense. These negative economic conditions may have a continued adverse effect on
our businesses and results of operations, which could include, but not be limited to: decreased demand for and use of our products and services; protracted periods of historically low interest rates; lower fees, including asset management fees; lower sales and trading revenue due to decreased market liquidity resulting from heightened volatility; increased noninterest expense, including operational losses; and increased credit losses due to our customers' and clients' inability to fulfill contractual obligations and deterioration in the financial condition of our consumer and commercial borrowers, which may vary by region, sector or industry, that may increase our provision for credit losses and net charge-offs. Our provision for credit losses and net charge-offs may also continue to be impacted by volatility in the energy and commodity markets. Additionally, our liquidity and/or regulatory capital could be adversely impacted by customers’ withdrawal of deposits, volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets, volatility in foreign exchange rates and customer draws on lines of credit. Continued adverse macroeconomic conditions caused by COVID-19 could also result in potential downgrades to our credit ratings, negative impacts to regulatory capital and liquidity and further restrictions on dividends and/or repurchases of our common stock, which could limit the capital we return to shareholders.
If we become unable to operate our business from remote locations including, for example, because of an internal or external failure of our information technology infrastructure, we experience increased rates of employee illness or unavailability, or governmental restrictions are placed on our employees or operations, this could also have an adverse effect on our business continuity status and result in disruption to our businesses. Additionally we rely on third parties who could experience adverse effects on their business continuity status and business interruptions, which could increase our risks and have an adverse impact on the Corporation's businesses. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect the U.S. and/or global economy and/or adversely affects our businesses, results of operations or financial condition, it may also have the effect of increasing the likelihood and/or magnitude of other risks described in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Form 10-K or risks described in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In response to the economic and market conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, governments and regulatory authorities, including central banks, have acted and may take further action to provide fiscal and monetary stimuli to support the global economy. However, there can be no assurance that these measures will stimulate the global economy or avert continued recessionary conditions in markets or economies in which we conduct operations. Our participation in and execution of measures taken by governments and regulatory authorities could result in reputational harm and government actions and proceedings, and has resulted in, and may continue to result in, litigation, including class actions. Such actions may result in judgments, settlements, penalties, and fines adverse to the Corporation.
We continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and related risks as they evolve globally and in the U.S. The magnitude and duration of the current outbreak of COVID-19, the likelihood of further surges of COVID-19 cases, the timing and availability of effective medical treatments and vaccines, future actions taken by governmental authorities and/or other

third parties in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its future direct and indirect effects on the global economy and our businesses, results of operation and financial condition are highly uncertain. The COVID-19 pandemic may cause prolonged
global or national recessionary economic conditions or longer lasting effects on economic conditions than currently exist, which could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, results of operations and financial condition.
