Background Information [Abstract] | |
Nature of Operations [Text Block] | Background Information |
The Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (the FHLB), a federally chartered corporation, is one of 12 District Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks). The FHLBanks serve the public by enhancing the availability of credit for residential mortgages and targeted community development. The FHLB is regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (Finance Agency). |

Basis of Presentation [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting [Text Block] | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying interim financial statements of the FHLB have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates. These assumptions and estimates affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The interim financial statements presented are unaudited, but they include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for such periods. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the FHLB's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year. | |
The FHLB presents certain financial instruments, including derivative instruments and securities purchased under agreements to resell, on a net basis when it has a legal right of offset and all other requirements for netting are met (collectively referred to as the netting requirements). For these instruments, the FHLB has elected to offset its asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral received or pledged, when it has met the netting requirements. The FHLB did not have any offsetting liabilities related to its securities purchased under agreements to resell for the periods presented. | |
The net exposure for these financial instruments can change on a daily basis; therefore, there may be a delay between the time this exposure change is identified and additional collateral is requested, and the time this collateral is received or pledged. Likewise, there may be a delay for excess collateral to be returned. For derivative instruments that meet the requirements for netting, any excess cash collateral received or pledged is recognized as a derivative liability or derivative asset. Additional information regarding these agreements is provided in Note 10. Based on the fair value of the related collateral held, the securities purchased under agreements to resell were fully collateralized for the periods presented. For more information about the FHLB's investments in securities purchased under agreements to resell, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the FHLB's 2014 Form 10-K. | |
The FHLB has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure through the issuance of these financial statements and believes there have been no material subsequent events requiring additional disclosure or recognition in these financial statements. |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations [Text Block] | Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations |
Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. On April 15, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendments to clarify the accounting for cloud computing arrangements. The amendments provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and how to account for it. This guidance becomes effective for the FHLB for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The FHLB is in the process of evaluating this guidance and its effect on the FHLB's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. | |
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the statement of condition as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. This guidance becomes effective for the FHLB for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The guidance is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to each individual period presented on the statement of condition. The FHLB is in the process of evaluating this guidance and its effect on the FHLB's financial condition and cash flows. | |
Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. On August 8, 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance relating to the classification and measurement of certain government-guaranteed mortgage loans upon foreclosure. The amendments in this guidance require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if certain conditions are met. This guidance became effective for the FHLB for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2015, and was adopted prospectively. The adoption of this guidance had no material effect on the FHLB's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. | |
Repurchase-to Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. On June 12, 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings. This amendment requires secured borrowing accounting treatment for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and provides guidance on accounting for repurchase financing arrangements. In addition, this guidance requires additional disclosures, particularly on transfers accounted for as sales that are economically similar to repurchase agreements and on the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings. This guidance became effective for the FHLB for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2015. The adoption of this guidance had no material effect on the FHLB's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. | |
Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. On January 17, 2014, the FASB issued guidance clarifying when consumer mortgage loans collateralized by real estate should be reclassified to real estate owned. Specifically, such collateralized mortgage loans should be reclassified to real estate owned when either the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. This guidance became effective for the FHLB for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2015, and was adopted prospectively. The adoption of this guidance had no material effect on the FHLB's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. | |
Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention. On April 9, 2012, the Finance Agency issued an advisory bulletin that establishes a standard and uniform methodology for adverse classification and identification of special mention assets and off-balance sheet credit exposures at the FHLBanks, excluding investment securities. The adverse classification requirements were implemented as of January 1, 2014; this implementation did not have a material effect on the FHLB's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The charge-off requirements were implemented on January 1, 2015. The adoption of these requirements had no material effect on the FHLB's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. |

Realized Gains and Losses. From time to time the FHLB may sell securities out of its held-to-maturity portfolio. These securities, generally, have less than 15 percent of the acquired principal outstanding at the time of the sale. These sales are considered maturities for the purposes of security classification. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014, the FHLB did not sell any held-to-maturity securities. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Other than Temporary Impairment Analysis [Text Block] | Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis |
The FHLB evaluates its individual available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities holdings in an unrealized loss position for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. | |
For its Other U.S. obligations and GSE investments (mortgage-backed securities and non-mortgage-backed securities), the FHLB determined that the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations or support from the U.S. government is sufficient to protect the FHLB from losses based on current expectations. As a result, the FHLB determined that, as of March 31, 2015, all of the gross unrealized losses on these investments were temporary as the declines in market value of these securities were not attributable to credit quality. Furthermore, the FHLB does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that the FHLB will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. As a result, the FHLB did not consider any of these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015. | |
The FHLB also reviewed its available-for-sale securities that have experienced unrealized losses at March 31, 2015 and determined that the unrealized losses were temporary, based on the creditworthiness of the issuers and the related collateral characteristics, and that the FHLB will recover its entire amortized cost basis. Additionally, because the FHLB does not intend to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that the FHLB will be required to sell the securities before recovery, it did not consider the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015. | |
The FHLB did not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014. |

The FHLB offers Advances to members that may be prepaid on specified dates (call dates) without incurring prepayment or termination fees (callable Advances). If the call option is exercised, replacement funding may be available. Other Advances may only be prepaid subject to a prepayment fee paid to the FHLB that makes the FHLB financially indifferent to the prepayment of the Advance.

Allowance for Credit Losses [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Allowance for Credit Losses [Text Block] | Allowance for Credit Losses | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLB has established an allowance methodology for each of the FHLB's portfolio segments: credit products (Advances, Letters of Credit and other extensions of credit to members); FHA mortgage loans held for portfolio; and conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Credit products | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLB manages its credit exposure to credit products through an integrated approach that includes establishing a credit limit for each borrower, includes an ongoing review of each borrower's financial condition and is coupled with detailed collateral and lending policies to limit risk of loss while balancing borrowers' needs for a reliable source of funding. In addition, the FHLB lends to eligible borrowers in accordance with federal statutes, including the FHLBank Act, and Finance Agency regulations, which require the FHLB to obtain sufficient collateral to fully secure credit products. The estimated value of the collateral required to secure each member's credit products is calculated by applying collateral discounts, or haircuts, to the value of the collateral. The FHLB accepts certain investment securities, residential mortgage loans, deposits, and other real estate related assets as collateral. In addition, community financial institutions are eligible to utilize expanded statutory collateral provisions for small business and agriculture loans. The FHLB's capital stock owned by its member borrowers is also pledged as collateral. Collateral arrangements and a member’s borrowing capacity vary based on the financial condition and performance of the institution, the types of collateral pledged and the overall quality of those assets. The FHLB can also require additional or substitute collateral to protect its security interest. Management of the FHLB believes that these policies effectively manage the FHLB's credit risk from credit products. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Members experiencing financial difficulties are subject to FHLB-performed “stress tests” of the impact of poorly performing assets on the member’s capital and loss reserve positions. Depending on the results of these tests and the level of overcollateralization, a member may be allowed to maintain pledged loan assets in its custody, may be required to deliver those loans into the custody of the FHLB or its agent, and/or may be required to provide details on these loans to facilitate an estimate of their fair value. The FHLB perfects its security interest in all pledged collateral. The FHLBank Act affords any security interest granted to the FHLB by a member priority over the claims or rights of any other party except for claims or rights of a third party that would be entitled to priority under otherwise applicable law and that are held by a bona fide purchaser for value or by a secured party holding a prior perfected security interest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Using a risk-based approach, the FHLB considers the payment status, collateralization levels, and borrower's financial condition to be indicators of credit quality for its credit products. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLB had rights to collateral on a member-by-member basis with an estimated value in excess of its outstanding extensions of credit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLB evaluates and makes changes to its collateral guidelines, as necessary, based on current market conditions. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLB did not have any Advances that were past due, in non-accrual status, or impaired. In addition, there were no troubled debt restructurings related to credit products of the FHLB during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLB has not experienced any credit losses on Advances since it was founded in 1932. Based upon the collateral held as security, its credit extension and collateral policies, management's credit analysis and the repayment history on credit products, the FHLB did not record any credit losses on credit products as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. Accordingly, the FHLB did not record any allowance for credit losses on Advances. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no liability to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures was recorded. See Note 19 for additional information on the FHLB's off-balance sheet credit exposure. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio - FHA | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLB invests in fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties insured by the FHA. Any losses from such loans are expected to be recovered from the FHA. Any losses from these loans that are not recovered from the FHA would be due to a claim rejection by the FHA and, as such, would be recoverable from the selling participating financial institutions. Therefore, the FHLB only has credit risk for these loans if the seller or servicer fails to pay for losses not covered by the FHA insurance. As a result, the FHLB did not establish an allowance for credit losses on its FHA insured mortgage loans. Furthermore, due to the insurance, none of these mortgage loans have been placed on non-accrual status. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio - Conventional Mortgage Purchase Program (MPP) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The allowance for conventional loans is determined by analyses that include consideration of various data observations such as past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral-related characteristics, industry data, and prevailing economic conditions. The measurement of the allowance for credit losses consists of: (1) collectively evaluating homogeneous pools of residential mortgage loans; (2) reviewing specifically identified loans for impairment; and (3) considering other relevant qualitative factors. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Collectively Evaluated Mortgage Loans. The credit risk analysis of conventional loans evaluated collectively for impairment considers historical delinquency migration, applies estimated loss severities, and incorporates the associated credit enhancements in order to determine the FHLB's best estimate of probable incurred losses at the reporting date. The credit risk analysis of all conventional mortgage loans is performed at the individual Master Commitment Contract level to properly determine the credit enhancements available to recover losses on loans under each individual Master Commitment Contract. The Master Commitment Contract is an agreement with a member in which the member agrees to make every attempt to sell a specific dollar amount of loans to the FHLB over a one-year period. Migration analysis is a methodology for determining, through the FHLB's experience over a historical period, the rate of default on loans. The FHLB applies migration analysis to loans based on payment status categories such as current, 30, 60, and 90 days past due. The FHLB then estimates, based on historical experience, how many loans in these categories may migrate to a loss realization event and applies a current loss severity to estimate losses. The estimated losses are then reduced by the probable cash flows resulting from available credit enhancements. Any credit enhancement cash flows that are projected and assessed as not probable of receipt do not reduce estimated losses. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Individually Evaluated Mortgage Loans. Conventional mortgage loans that are considered troubled debt restructurings are specifically identified for purposes of calculating the allowance for credit losses. The FHLB measures impairment of these specifically identified loans by either estimating the present value of expected cash flows, estimating the loan's observable market price, or estimating the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Specifically identified loans evaluated for impairment are removed from the collectively evaluated mortgage loan population. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Qualitative Factors. The FHLB also assesses other qualitative factors in its estimation of loan losses for the collectively evaluated population. This amount represents a subjective management judgment, based on facts and circumstances that exist as of the reporting date, that is intended to cover other incurred losses that may not otherwise be captured in the methodology described above. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rollforward of Allowance for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans. The following tables present a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on conventional mortgage loans as well as the recorded investment in mortgage loans by impairment methodology. The recorded investment in a loan is the unpaid principal balance of the loan adjusted for accrued interest, unamortized premiums or discounts, hedging basis adjustments and direct write-downs. The recorded investment is not net of any allowance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Credit Enhancements. The conventional mortgage loans under the MPP are supported by some combination of credit enhancements (primary mortgage insurance (PMI), supplemental mortgage insurance (SMI) and the Lender Risk Account (LRA), including pooled LRA for those members participating in an aggregated MPP pool). The amount of credit enhancements needed to protect the FHLB against credit losses is determined through use of a third-party default model. These credit enhancements apply after a homeowner's equity is exhausted. Beginning in February 2011, the FHLB discontinued the use of SMI for all new loan purchases and replaced it with expanded use of the LRA. The LRA is funded by the FHLB as a portion of the purchase proceeds to cover expected losses. Excess funds over required balances are distributed to the member in accordance with a step-down schedule that is established upon execution of a Master Commitment Contract, subject to performance of the related loan pool. The LRA established for a pool of loans is limited to only covering losses of that specific pool of loans. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Troubled Debt Restructurings. A troubled debt restructuring is considered to have occurred when a concession is granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties and that concession would not have been considered otherwise. The FHLB's troubled debt restructurings primarily involve loans where an agreement permits the recapitalization of past due amounts up to the original loan amount and certain loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. A loan considered a troubled debt restructuring is individually evaluated for impairment when determining its related allowance for credit losses. Credit loss is measured by factoring in expected cash shortfalls (i.e., loss severity rate) incurred as of the reporting date. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLB's recorded investment in modified loans considered troubled debt restructurings was (in thousands) $8,933 and $8,639 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The amount of troubled debt restructurings is not considered material to the FHLB's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||
Derivatives and Hedging Activities [Text Block] | Derivatives and Hedging Activities | |||||||||||||||
Nature of Business Activity | ||||||||||||||||
The FHLB is exposed to interest rate risk primarily from the effect of interest rate changes on its interest-earning assets and on the funding sources that finance these assets. The goal of the FHLB's interest-rate risk management strategy is not to eliminate interest-rate risk, but to manage it within appropriate limits. To mitigate the risk of loss, the FHLB has established policies and procedures, which include guidelines on the amount of exposure to interest rate changes it is willing to accept. In addition, the FHLB monitors the risk to its interest income, net interest margin and average maturity of interest-earning assets and funding sources. | ||||||||||||||||
The FHLB transacts its derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Some of these banks and broker-dealers or their affiliates buy, sell, and distribute Consolidated Obligations. Derivative transactions may be either executed with a counterparty (bilateral derivatives) or cleared through a Futures Commission Merchant (i.e., clearing agent) with a Derivative Clearing Organization (cleared derivatives). | ||||||||||||||||
Once a derivative transaction has been accepted for clearing by a Derivative Clearing Organization (Clearinghouse), the derivative transaction is novated and the executing counterparty is replaced with the Clearinghouse. | ||||||||||||||||
Consistent with Finance Agency regulations, the FHLB enters into derivatives to manage the interest rate risk exposures inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and funding positions, to achieve the FHLB's risk management objectives and to act as an intermediary between its members and counterparties. The use of derivatives is an integral part of the FHLB's financial management strategy. However, Finance Agency regulations and the FHLB's financial management policy prohibit trading in, or the speculative use of, derivative instruments and limit credit risk arising from them. | ||||||||||||||||
The most common ways in which the FHLB uses derivatives are to: | ||||||||||||||||
▪ | reduce the interest rate sensitivity and repricing gaps of assets and liabilities; | |||||||||||||||
▪ | manage embedded options in assets and liabilities; | |||||||||||||||
▪ | reduce funding costs by combining a derivative with a Consolidated Obligation Bond, as the cost of a combined funding structure can be lower than the cost of a comparable Consolidated Obligation Bond; | |||||||||||||||
▪ | preserve a favorable interest rate spread between the yield of an asset (e.g., an Advance) and the cost of the related liability (e.g., the Consolidated Obligation Bond used to fund the Advance); without the use of derivatives, this interest rate spread could be reduced or eliminated when a change in the interest rate on the Advance does not match a change in the interest rate on the Bond; and | |||||||||||||||
▪ | protect the value of existing asset or liability positions. | |||||||||||||||
Types of Derivatives | ||||||||||||||||
The FHLB may enter into interest rate swaps (including callable and putable swaps), swaptions, interest rate cap and floor agreements, calls, puts, futures, and forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. | ||||||||||||||||
An interest rate swap is an agreement between two entities to exchange cash flows in the future. The agreement sets the dates on which the cash flows will be paid and the manner in which the cash flows will be calculated. One of the simplest forms of an interest rate swap involves the promise by one party to pay cash flows equivalent to the interest on a notional principal amount at a predetermined fixed rate for a given period of time. In return for this promise, this party receives cash flows equivalent to the interest on the same notional principal amount at a variable-rate index for the same period of time. The variable-rate transacted by the FHLB in its derivatives is LIBOR. | ||||||||||||||||
Application of Interest Rate Swaps | ||||||||||||||||
The FHLB may use derivatives as fair value hedges of associated financial instruments. However, because the FHLB uses interest rate swaps when they are considered to be the most cost-effective alternative to achieve the FHLB's financial and risk management objectives, it may enter into interest rate swaps that do not necessarily qualify for hedge accounting (economic hedges). The FHLB re-evaluates its hedging strategies from time to time and may change the hedging techniques it uses or adopt new strategies. | ||||||||||||||||
Types of Hedged Items | ||||||||||||||||
The FHLB documents at inception all relationships between derivatives designated as hedging instruments and the hedged items, its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions, and its method of assessing effectiveness. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to assets and liabilities on the Statements of Condition. The FHLB also formally assesses (both at the hedge's inception and at least quarterly) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain effective in future periods. The FHLB currently uses regression analyses to assess the effectiveness of its hedges. The types of assets and liabilities currently hedged with derivatives are: | ||||||||||||||||
▪ | Consolidated Obligations | |||||||||||||||
▪ | Advances | |||||||||||||||
▪ | Firm Commitments | |||||||||||||||
Financial Statement Effect and Additional Financial Information | ||||||||||||||||
The notional amount of derivatives serves as a factor in determining periodic interest payments or cash flows received and paid. The notional amount reflects the FHLB's involvement in the various classes of financial instruments and represents neither the actual amounts exchanged nor the overall exposure of the FHLB to credit and market risk; the overall risk is much smaller. The risks of derivatives only can be measured meaningfully on a portfolio basis that takes into account the derivatives, the items being hedged and any offsets between the derivatives and the items being hedged. | ||||||||||||||||

Credit Risk on Derivatives | ||||||||||||||||
The FHLB is subject to credit risk due to the risk of non-performance by counterparties to its derivative transactions, and manages credit risk through credit analysis, collateral requirements and adherence to the requirements set forth in its policies, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations, and Finance Agency regulations. For bilateral derivatives, the degree of credit risk depends on the extent to which master netting arrangements are included in these contracts to mitigate the risk. The FHLB requires collateral agreements with collateral delivery thresholds on the majority of its bilateral derivatives. | ||||||||||||||||
For cleared derivatives, the Clearinghouse is the FHLB's counterparty. The Clearinghouse notifies the clearing agent of the required initial and variation margin and the clearing agent in turn notifies the FHLB. The requirement that the FHLB post initial and variation margin through the clearing agent, to the Clearinghouse, exposes the FHLB to credit risk if the clearing agent or the Clearinghouse fails to meet its obligations. The use of cleared derivatives is intended to mitigate credit risk exposure because a central counterparty is substituted for individual counterparties and collateral for changes in the value of cleared derivatives is posted daily through a clearing agent. | ||||||||||||||||
The FHLB has analyzed the enforceability of offsetting rights incorporated in its cleared derivative transactions and determined that the exercise of those offsetting rights by a non-defaulting party under these transactions should be upheld under applicable law upon an event of default including bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding involving the Clearinghouse or the FHLB's clearing agent, or both. Based on this analysis, the FHLB presents a net derivative receivable or payable for all of its transactions through a particular clearing agent with a particular Clearinghouse. | ||||||||||||||||
Certain of the FHLB's bilateral interest rate swap contracts contain provisions that require the FHLB to post additional collateral with its counterparties if there is deterioration in the FHLB's credit ratings. The aggregate fair value of all bilateral interest rate swaps with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position at March 31, 2015 was (in thousands) $114,914, for which the FHLB had posted collateral with a fair value of (in thousands) $60,115 in the normal course of business. | ||||||||||||||||
If one of the FHLB's credit ratings had been lowered to the next lower rating that would have triggered additional collateral to be delivered, the FHLB would have been required to deliver up to an additional (in thousands) $12,822 of collateral at fair value to its derivatives counterparties at March 31, 2015. | ||||||||||||||||
For cleared derivatives, the Clearinghouse determines initial margin requirements and generally credit ratings are not factored into the initial margin. However, clearing agents may require additional initial margin to be posted based on credit considerations, including, but not limited to, credit rating downgrades. At March 31, 2015, the FHLB was not required to post additional initial margin by its clearing agents based on credit considerations. |

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block] | Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans | |||||||||||||||
Qualified Defined Benefit Multi-employer Plan. The FHLB participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan. Under the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan, contributions made by one participating employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers because assets contributed by an employer are not segregated in a separate account or restricted to provide benefits only to employees of that employer. Also, in the event a participating employer is unable to meet its contribution requirements, the required contributions for the other participating employers could increase proportionately. The Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan covers substantially all officers and employees of the FHLB who meet certain eligibility requirements. Contributions to the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan charged to compensation and benefit expense were $1,500,000 and $1,529,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||
Qualified Defined Contribution Plan. The FHLB also participates in the Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial Institutions, a tax-qualified, defined contribution pension plan. The FHLB contributes a percentage of the participants' compensation by making a matching contribution equal to a percentage of voluntary employee contributions, subject to certain limitations. The FHLB contributed $374,000 and $373,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||
Nonqualified Supplemental Defined Benefit Retirement Plan. The FHLB maintains a nonqualified, unfunded defined benefit plan. The plan ensures that participants receive the full amount of benefits to which they would have been entitled under the qualified defined benefit plan in the absence of limits on benefit levels imposed by the IRS. There are no funded plan assets. The FHLB has established a grantor trust, which is included in held-to-maturity securities on the Statements of Condition, to meet future benefit obligations and current payments to beneficiaries. | ||||||||||||||||
Postretirement Benefits Plan. The FHLB also sponsors a postretirement benefits plan that includes health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees. Future retirees are eligible for the postretirement benefits plan if they were hired prior to August 1, 1990, are age 55 or older, and their age plus years of continuous service at retirement are greater than or equal to 80. Spouses are covered subject to required contributions. There are no funded plan assets that have been designated to provide postretirement benefits. | ||||||||||||||||

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | Fair Value Disclosures | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The fair value amounts recorded on the Statements of Condition and presented in the related note disclosures have been determined by the FHLB using available market information and the FHLB's best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. The fair values reflect the FHLB's judgment of how a market participant would estimate the fair values. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value Hierarchy. The FHLB records trading securities, available-for-sale securities, derivative assets, derivative liabilities, certain Advances and certain Consolidated Obligation Bonds at fair value on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The inputs are evaluated and an overall level for the measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of how market observable the fair value measurement is. An entity must disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 1 Inputs - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the reporting entity can access on the measurement date. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: (1) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (2) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; (3) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, and implied volatilities); and (4) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLB reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out at fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur. The FHLB did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Table 18.1 presents the carrying value, fair value, and fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities of the FHLB. These values do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the FHLB as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets versus liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Fair Value Option. The fair value option provides an irrevocable option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments not previously carried at fair value. It requires a company to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which it has chosen to use fair value on the face of the Statements of Condition. Fair value is used for both the initial and subsequent measurement of the designated assets, liabilities and commitments, with the changes in fair value recognized in net income. If elected, interest income and interest expense on Advances and Consolidated Bonds carried at fair value are recognized based solely on the contractual amount of interest due or unpaid. Any transaction fees or costs are immediately recognized into other non-interest income or other non-interest expense. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLB has elected the fair value option for certain Advances and Consolidated Obligation Bonds that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or may be at risk for not meeting hedge effectiveness requirements. These fair value elections were made primarily in an effort to mitigate the potential income statement volatility that can arise from economic hedging relationships in which the carrying value of the hedged item is not adjusted for changes in fair value. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Legal Proceedings. From time to time, the FHLB is subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In March 2010, the FHLB was advised by representatives of the Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. bankruptcy estate that they believed that the FHLB had been unjustly enriched in connection with the close out of its interest rate swap transactions with Lehman at the time of the Lehman bankruptcy in 2008 and that the bankruptcy estate was entitled to the $43 million difference between the settlement amount the FHLB paid Lehman in connection with the close-out transactions and the market value payment the FHLB received when replacing the swaps with other counterparties. In May 2010, the FHLB received a Derivatives Alternative Dispute Resolution notice from the Lehman bankruptcy estate with a settlement demand of $65.8 million, plus interest accruing primarily at LIBOR plus 14.5 percent since the bankruptcy filing, based on their view of how the settlement amount should have been calculated. In accordance with the Alternative Dispute Resolution Order of the Bankruptcy Court administering the Lehman estate, senior management of the FHLB participated in a non-binding mediation in New York in August 2010, and counsel for the FHLB continued discussions with the court-appointed mediator for several weeks thereafter. The mediation concluded in October 2010 without a settlement of the claims asserted by the Lehman bankruptcy estate. In April 2013, Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc., through Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and the Plan Administrator under the Modified Third Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors, filed an adversary complaint in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York against the FHLB seeking (a) a declaratory judgment on the interpretation of certain provisions and the calculation of amounts due under the agreement governing the 2008 swap transactions described above, and (b) additional amounts alleged as due as part of the termination of such transactions. The FHLB believes that it correctly calculated, and fully satisfied its obligation to Lehman in September 2008, and the FHLB intends to vigorously defend itself. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLB also is subject to other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The FHLB would record an accrual for a loss contingency when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. After consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these matters will have a material effect on the FHLB's financial condition or results of operations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

The FHLB notes all transactions with other FHLBanks on the face of its financial statements. Occasionally, the FHLB loans short-term funds to and borrows short-term funds from other FHLBanks. These loans and borrowings are transacted at then current market rates when traded. There were no such loans or borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. The following table details the average daily balance of lending and borrowing between the FHLB and other FHLBanks for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. | ||||||||

The FHLB may, from time to time, assume the outstanding primary liability for Consolidated Obligations of another FHLBank (at then current market rates on the day when the transfer is traded) rather than issuing new debt for which the FHLB is the primary obligor. The FHLB then becomes the primary obligor on the transferred debt. There were no Consolidated Obligations transferred to the FHLB during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014. The FHLB had no Consolidated Obligations transferred to other FHLBanks during these periods. |

Nonmember Affiliates. The FHLB has relationships with three nonmember affiliates, the Kentucky Housing Corporation, the Ohio Housing Finance Agency and the Tennessee Housing Development Agency. The FHLB had no investments in or borrowings to any of these nonmember affiliates at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. The FHLB has executed standby bond purchase agreements with one state housing authority whereby the FHLB, for a fee, agrees as a liquidity provider if required, to purchase and hold the authority's bonds until the designated marketing agent can find a suitable investor or the housing authority repurchases the bond according to a schedule established by the standby agreement. During the first three months of 2015 and 2014, the FHLB was not required to purchase any bonds under these agreements. |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
Finance, Loan and Lease Receivables, Held-for-investment, Allowance and Nonperforming Loans, Nonperforming Loans Policy [Policy Text Block] | Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio - FHA |
The FHLB invests in fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties insured by the FHA. Any losses from such loans are expected to be recovered from the FHA. Any losses from these loans that are not recovered from the FHA would be due to a claim rejection by the FHA and, as such, would be recoverable from the selling participating financial institutions. Therefore, the FHLB only has credit risk for these loans if the seller or servicer fails to pay for losses not covered by the FHA insurance. As a result, the FHLB did not establish an allowance for credit losses on its FHA insured mortgage loans. Furthermore, due to the insurance, none of these mortgage loans have been placed on non-accrual status. | |
Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio - Conventional Mortgage Purchase Program (MPP) | |
The allowance for conventional loans is determined by analyses that include consideration of various data observations such as past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral-related characteristics, industry data, and prevailing economic conditions. The measurement of the allowance for credit losses consists of: (1) collectively evaluating homogeneous pools of residential mortgage loans; (2) reviewing specifically identified loans for impairment; and (3) considering other relevant qualitative factors. | |
Collectively Evaluated Mortgage Loans. The credit risk analysis of conventional loans evaluated collectively for impairment considers historical delinquency migration, applies estimated loss severities, and incorporates the associated credit enhancements in order to determine the FHLB's best estimate of probable incurred losses at the reporting date. The credit risk analysis of all conventional mortgage loans is performed at the individual Master Commitment Contract level to properly determine the credit enhancements available to recover losses on loans under each individual Master Commitment Contract. The Master Commitment Contract is an agreement with a member in which the member agrees to make every attempt to sell a specific dollar amount of loans to the FHLB over a one-year period. Migration analysis is a methodology for determining, through the FHLB's experience over a historical period, the rate of default on loans. The FHLB applies migration analysis to loans based on payment status categories such as current, 30, 60, and 90 days past due. The FHLB then estimates, based on historical experience, how many loans in these categories may migrate to a loss realization event and applies a current loss severity to estimate losses. The estimated losses are then reduced by the probable cash flows resulting from available credit enhancements. Any credit enhancement cash flows that are projected and assessed as not probable of receipt do not reduce estimated losses. | |
Individually Evaluated Mortgage Loans. Conventional mortgage loans that are considered troubled debt restructurings are specifically identified for purposes of calculating the allowance for credit losses. The FHLB measures impairment of these specifically identified loans by either estimating the present value of expected cash flows, estimating the loan's observable market price, or estimating the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Specifically identified loans evaluated for impairment are removed from the collectively evaluated mortgage loan population. | |
Qualitative Factors. The FHLB also assesses other qualitative factors in its estimation of loan losses for the collectively evaluated population. This amount represents a subjective management judgment, based on facts and circumstances that exist as of the reporting date, that is intended to cover other incurred losses that may not otherwise be captured in the methodology described above. | |
Loans and Leases Receivable, Troubled Debt Restructuring Policy [Policy Text Block] | A loan considered a troubled debt restructuring is individually evaluated for impairment when determining its related allowance for credit losses. Credit loss is measured by factoring in expected cash shortfalls (i.e., loss severity rate) incurred as of the reporting date. |
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Types of Derivatives |
The FHLB may enter into interest rate swaps (including callable and putable swaps), swaptions, interest rate cap and floor agreements, calls, puts, futures, and forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. | |
An interest rate swap is an agreement between two entities to exchange cash flows in the future. The agreement sets the dates on which the cash flows will be paid and the manner in which the cash flows will be calculated. One of the simplest forms of an interest rate swap involves the promise by one party to pay cash flows equivalent to the interest on a notional principal amount at a predetermined fixed rate for a given period of time. In return for this promise, this party receives cash flows equivalent to the interest on the same notional principal amount at a variable-rate index for the same period of time. The variable-rate transacted by the FHLB in its derivatives is LIBOR. | |
Application of Interest Rate Swaps | |
The FHLB may use derivatives as fair value hedges of associated financial instruments. However, because the FHLB uses interest rate swaps when they are considered to be the most cost-effective alternative to achieve the FHLB's financial and risk management objectives, it may enter into interest rate swaps that do not necessarily qualify for hedge accounting (economic hedges). The FHLB re-evaluates its hedging strategies from time to time and may change the hedging techniques it uses or adopt new strategies. | |
Derivatives, Methods of Accounting, Hedging Derivatives [Policy Text Block] | The FHLB documents at inception all relationships between derivatives designated as hedging instruments and the hedged items, its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions, and its method of assessing effectiveness. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to assets and liabilities on the Statements of Condition. |
Derivatives, Methods of Accounting, Hedge Effectiveness [Policy Text Block] | The FHLB also formally assesses (both at the hedge's inception and at least quarterly) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain effective in future periods. The FHLB currently uses regression analyses to assess the effectiveness of its hedges. |
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | The FHLB has identified two primary operating segments based on its method of internal reporting: Traditional Member Finance and the MPP. These segments reflect the FHLB's two primary Mission Asset Activities and the manner in which they are managed from the perspective of development, resource allocation, product delivery, pricing, credit risk and operational administration. The segments identify the principal ways the FHLB provides services to member stockholders. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | The fair value amounts recorded on the Statements of Condition and presented in the related note disclosures have been determined by the FHLB using available market information and the FHLB's best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. The fair values reflect the FHLB's judgment of how a market participant would estimate the fair values. |
Fair Value Transfer, Policy [Policy Text Block] | The FHLB reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out at fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur. |
