Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisition	2. Acquisition On November 1, 2015, M&T completed the acquisition of Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. (“Hudson City”), headquartered in Paramus, New Jersey. On that date, Hudson City Savings Bank, the banking subsidiary of Hudson City, was merged into M&T Bank, a wholly owned banking subsidiary of M&T. Hudson City Savings Bank operated 135 banking offices in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York at the date of acquisition. The results of operations acquired in the Hudson City transaction have been included in the Company’s financial results since November 1, 2015. After application of the election, allocation and proration procedures contained in the merger agreement with Hudson City, M&T paid $2.1 billion in cash and issued 25,953,950 shares of M&T common stock in exchange for Hudson City shares outstanding at the time of the acquisition. The purchase price was approximately $5.2 billion based on the cash paid to Hudson City shareholders, the fair value of M&T stock exchanged and the estimated fair value of Hudson City stock awards converted into M&T stock awards. The acquisition of Hudson City expanded the Company’s presence in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York, and management expects that the Company will benefit from greater geographic diversity and the advantages of scale associated with a larger company. The Hudson City transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date. The consideration paid for Hudson City’s common equity and the amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date were as follows: (in thousands) Identifiable assets: Cash and due from banks $ 131,688 Interest-bearing deposits at banks 7,568,934 Investment securities 7,929,014 Loans 19,015,013 Goodwill 1,079,787 Core deposit intangible 131,665 Other assets 843,219 Total identifiable assets 36,699,320 Liabilities: Deposits 17,879,589 Borrowings 13,211,598 Other liabilities 405,025 Total liabilities 31,496,212 Total consideration $ 5,203,108 Cash paid $ 2,064,284 Common stock issued (25,953,950 shares) 3,110,581 Common stock awards converted 28,243 Total consideration $ 5,203,108 In early November 2015, the Company sold $5.8 billion of investment securities obtained in the acquisition and repaid $10.6 billion of borrowings assumed in the transaction. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded approximately $1.1 billion of goodwill and $132 million of core deposit intangible. The core deposit intangible asset is being amortized over a period of 7 years using an accelerated method. The following table presents certain pro forma information as if Hudson City had been included in the Company’s results of operations in the first quarter of 2015. These results combine the historical results of Hudson City into the Company’s consolidated statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair valuation adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place as indicated. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the impact of gains on securities transactions of $7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 that may not have been recognized had the investment securities been recorded at fair value. Additionally, the Company expects to achieve operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts that follow. Pro forma (in thousands) Total revenues(a) $ 1,253,445 Net income 285,237 (a) Represents net interest income plus other income. In connection with the Hudson City acquisition, the Company incurred merger-related expenses related to systems conversions and other costs of integrating and conforming acquired operations with and into the Company. Those expenses consisted largely of professional services and other temporary help fees associated with preparing for systems conversions and/or integration of operations; costs related to termination of existing contractual arrangements for various services; initial marketing and promotion expenses designed to introduce M&T Bank to its new customers; severance (for former Hudson City employees); travel costs; and other costs of completing the transaction and commencing operations in new markets and offices. The Company expects that there will be additional merger-related expenses in 2016. A summary of merger-related expenses included in the consolidated statement of income follows: Three months (in thousands) Salaries and employee benefits $ 5,274 Equipment and net occupancy 939 Printing, postage and supplies 937 Other cost of operations 16,012 Total $ 23,162 There were no merger-related expenses during the first quarter of 2015.

In establishing the allowance for credit losses, the Company estimates losses attributable to specific troubled credits identified through both normal and detailed or intensified credit review processes and also estimates losses inherent in other loans and leases on a collective basis. For purposes of determining the level of the allowance for credit losses, the Company evaluates its loan and lease portfolio by loan type. The amounts of loss components in the Company’s loan and lease portfolios are determined through a loan-by-loan analysis of larger balance commercial loans and commercial real estate loans that are in nonaccrual status and by applying loss factors to groups of loan balances based on loan type and management’s classification of such loans under the Company’s loan grading system. Measurement of the specific loss components is typically based on expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors that may impact the borrower’s ability to pay. In determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company utilizes a loan grading system which is applied to commercial and commercial real estate credits on an individual loan basis. Loan officers are responsible for continually assigning grades to these loans based on standards outlined in the Company’s Credit Policy. Internal loan grades are also monitored by the Company’s loan review department to ensure consistency and strict adherence to the prescribed standards. Loan grades are assigned loss component factors that reflect the Company’s loss estimate for each group of loans and leases. Factors considered in assigning loan grades and loss component factors include borrower-specific information related to expected future cash flows and operating results, collateral values, geographic location, financial condition and performance, payment status, and other information; levels of and trends in portfolio charge-offs and recoveries; levels of and trends in portfolio delinquencies and impaired loans; changes in the risk profile of specific portfolios; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in credit concentrations; and observed trends and practices in the banking industry. As updated appraisals are obtained on individual loans or other events in the market place indicate that collateral values have significantly changed, individual loan grades are adjusted as appropriate. Changes in other factors cited may also lead to loan grade changes at any time. Except for consumer and residential real estate loans that are considered smaller balance homogenous loans and acquired loans that are evaluated on an aggregated basis, the Company considers a loan to be impaired for purposes of applying GAAP when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is delinquent 90 days. Regardless of loan type, the Company considers a loan to be impaired if it qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring. Modified loans, including smaller balance homogenous loans, that are considered to be troubled debt restructurings are evaluated for impairment giving consideration to the impact of the modified loan terms on the present value of the loan’s expected cash flows. The following tables provide information with respect to loans and leases that were considered impaired as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Loan grades are utilized to differentiate risk within the portfolio and consider the expectations of default for each loan. Commercial loans and commercial real estate loans with a lower expectation of default are assigned one of ten possible “pass” loan grades and are generally ascribed lower loss factors when determining the allowance for credit losses. Loans with an elevated level of credit risk are classified as “criticized” and are ascribed a higher loss factor when determining the allowance for credit losses. Criticized loans may be classified as “nonaccrual” if the Company no longer expects to collect all amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is delinquent 90 days or more. All larger balance criticized commercial loans and commercial real estate loans are individually reviewed by centralized loan review personnel each quarter to determine the appropriateness of the assigned loan grade, including whether the loan should be reported as accruing or nonaccruing. Smaller balance criticized loans are analyzed by business line risk management areas to ensure proper loan grade classification. Furthermore, criticized nonaccrual commercial loans and commercial real estate loans are considered impaired and, as a result, specific loss allowances on such loans are established within the allowance for credit losses to the extent appropriate in each individual instance. The following table summarizes the loan grades applied to the various classes of the Company’s commercial loans and commercial real estate loans.

Loss rates on such loans are determined by reference to recent charge-off history and are evaluated (and adjusted if deemed appropriate) through consideration of other factors including near-term forecasted loss estimates developed by the Company’s Credit Department. In arriving at such forecasts, the Company considers the current estimated fair value of its collateral based on geographical adjustments for home price depreciation/appreciation and overall borrower repayment performance. With regard to collateral values, the realizability of such values by the Company contemplates repayment of any first lien position prior to recovering amounts on a second lien position. However, residential real estate loans and outstanding balances of home equity loans and lines of credit that are more than 150 days past due are generally evaluated for collectibility on a loan-by-loan basis giving consideration to estimated collateral values. The carrying value of residential real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit for which a partial charge-off has been recognized aggregated $52 million and $24 million, respectively, at March 31, 2016 and $55 million and $21 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015. Residential real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit that were more than 150 days past due but did not require a partial charge-off because the net realizable value of the collateral exceeded the outstanding customer balance totaled $20 million and $32 million, respectively, at March 31, 2016 and $20 million and $28 million, respectively, at December 31, 2015. The Company also measures additional losses for purchased impaired loans when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all cash flows expected at acquisition plus additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimates after acquisition. The determination of the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses is very subjective. Given that inherent subjectivity and potential imprecision involved in determining the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses, the Company also provides an inherent unallocated portion of the allowance. The unallocated portion of the allowance is intended to recognize probable losses that are not otherwise identifiable and includes management’s subjective determination of amounts necessary to provide for the possible use of imprecise estimates in determining the allocated portion of the allowance. Therefore, the level of the unallocated portion of the allowance is primarily reflective of the inherent imprecision in the various calculations used in determining the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses. Other factors that could also lead to changes in the unallocated portion include the effects of expansion into new markets for which the Company does not have the same degree of familiarity and experience regarding portfolio performance in changing market conditions, the introduction of new loan and lease product types, and other risks associated with the Company’s loan portfolio that may not be specifically identifiable. The allocation of the allowance for credit losses summarized on the basis of the Company’s impairment methodology was as follows: Commercial, Real Estate Commercial Residential Consumer Total (in thousands) March 31, 2016 Individually evaluated for impairment $ 58,714 20,611 11,348 13,615 $ 104,288 Collectively evaluated for impairment 264,652 308,897 55,970 145,841 775,360 Purchased impaired 500 2,477 1,053 1,363 5,393 Allocated $ 323,866 331,985 68,371 160,819 885,041 Unallocated 77,711 Total $ 962,752 December 31, 2015 Individually evaluated for impairment $ 44,752 19,175 12,727 13,306 $ 89,960 Collectively evaluated for impairment 255,615 307,000 57,624 163,511 783,750 Purchased impaired 37 656 1,887 1,503 4,083 Allocated $ 300,404 326,831 72,238 178,320 877,793 Unallocated 78,199 Total $ 955,992 The recorded investment in loans and leases summarized on the basis of the Company’s impairment methodology was as follows: Commercial, Real Estate Commercial Residential Consumer Total (in thousands) March 31, 2016 Individually evaluated for impairment $ 310,128 235,039 200,306 66,709 $ 812,182 Collectively evaluated for impairment 20,914,684 29,395,659 24,470,057 11,564,010 86,344,410 Purchased impaired 1,765 82,595 629,275 2,239 715,874 Total $ 21,226,577 29,713,293 25,299,638 11,632,958 $ 87,872,466 December 31, 2015 Individually evaluated for impairment $ 272,227 234,132 207,949 65,365 $ 779,673 Collectively evaluated for impairment 20,148,209 28,863,130 25,398,037 11,532,121 85,941,497 Purchased impaired 1,902 100,049 664,117 2,261 768,329 Total $ 20,422,338 29,197,311 26,270,103 11,599,747 $ 87,489,499 During the normal course of business, the Company modifies loans to maximize recovery efforts. If the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and a concession is granted, the Company considers such modifications as troubled debt restructurings and classifies those loans as either nonaccrual loans or renegotiated loans. The types of concessions that the Company grants typically include principal deferrals and interest rate concessions, but may also include other types of concessions. The tables below summarize the Company’s loan modification activities that were considered troubled debt restructurings for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015: Recorded investment Financial effects of Three months ended March 31, 2016 Number Pre- Post- Recorded Interest (dollars in thousands) Commercial, financial, leasing, etc. Principal deferral 24 $ 11,571 $ 12,721 $ 1,150 $ — Combination of concession types 7 6,157 5,952 (205 ) — Real estate: Commercial Principal deferral 16 3,483 3,448 (35 ) — Combination of concession types 5 3,933 3,924 (9 ) (35 ) Residential Principal deferral 17 1,981 2,191 210 — Combination of concession types 10 2,321 2,369 48 — Residential-limited documentation Principal deferral 1 125 138 13 — Combination of concession types 5 1,312 1,379 67 (339 ) Consumer: Home equity lines and loans Principal deferral 3 335 335 — — Combination of concession types 23 2,496 2,496 — (283 ) Automobile Principal deferral 48 521 521 — — Other 16 38 38 — — Combination of concession types 8 85 85 — (3 ) Other Principal deferral 26 374 374 — — Other 2 25 25 — — Combination of concession types 8 147 147 — (27 ) Total 219 $ 34,904 $ 36,143 $ 1,239 $ (687 ) (a) Financial effects impacting the recorded investment included principal payments or advances, charge-offs and capitalized escrow arrearages.

(b) Represents the present value of interest rate concessions discounted at the effective rate of the original loan. Troubled debt restructurings are considered to be impaired loans and for purposes of establishing the allowance for credit losses are evaluated for impairment giving consideration to the impact of the modified loan terms on the present value of the loan’s expected cash flows. Impairment of troubled debt restructurings that have subsequently defaulted may also be measured based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. Charge-offs may also be recognized on troubled debt restructurings that have subsequently defaulted. Loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings during the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and for which there was a subsequent payment default during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were not material. The amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the Company was $169 million and $172 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. There were $309 million and $315 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, of loans secured by residential real estate that were in the process of foreclosure.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Borrowings	5. Borrowings M&T had $515 million of fixed and variable rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (“Junior Subordinated Debentures”) outstanding at March 31, 2016 that are held by various trusts that were issued in connection with the issuance by those trusts of preferred capital securities (“Capital Securities”) and common securities (“Common Securities”). The proceeds from the issuances of the Capital Securities and the Common Securities were used by the trusts to purchase the Junior Subordinated Debentures. The Common Securities of each of those trusts are wholly owned by M&T and are the only class of each trust’s securities possessing general voting powers. The Capital Securities represent preferred undivided interests in the assets of the corresponding trust. Under the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guidelines, beginning in 2016 none of the securities are includable in M&T’s Tier 1 regulatory capital, but do qualify for inclusion in Tier 2 regulatory capital. Holders of the Capital Securities receive preferential cumulative cash distributions unless M&T exercises its right to extend the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures as allowed by the terms of each such debenture, in which case payment of distributions on the respective Capital Securities will be deferred for comparable periods. During an extended interest period, M&T may not pay dividends or distributions on, or repurchase, redeem or acquire any shares of its capital stock. In general, the agreements governing the Capital Securities, in the aggregate, provide a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee by M&T of the payment of distributions on, the redemption of, and any liquidation distribution with respect to the Capital Securities. The obligations under such guarantee and the Capital Securities are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all senior indebtedness of M&T. The Capital Securities will remain outstanding until the Junior Subordinated Debentures are repaid at maturity, are redeemed prior to maturity or are distributed in liquidation to the trusts. The Capital Securities are mandatorily redeemable in whole, but not in part, upon repayment at the stated maturity dates (ranging from 2027 to 2033) of the Junior Subordinated Debentures or the earlier redemption of the Junior Subordinated Debentures in whole upon the occurrence of one or more events set forth in the indentures relating to the Capital Securities, and in whole or in part at any time after an optional redemption prior to contractual maturity contemporaneously with the optional redemption of the related Junior Subordinated Debentures in whole or in part, subject to possible regulatory approval. On April 15, 2015, M&T redeemed all of the issued and outstanding Capital Securities issued by M&T Capital Trust I, M&T Capital Trust II and M&T Capital Trust III, and the related Junior Subordinated Debentures held by those respective trusts. In the aggregate, $323 million of Junior Subordinated Debentures were redeemed. Also included in long-term borrowings are agreements to repurchase securities of $1.9 billion at each of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The agreements reflect various repurchase dates through 2020, however, the contractual maturities of the underlying investment securities extend beyond such repurchase dates. The agreements are subject to legally enforceable master netting arrangements, however, the Company has not offset any amounts related to these agreements in its consolidated financial statements. The Company posted collateral consisting primarily of government guaranteed mortgage-backed securities of $2.1 billion and $2.0 billion at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative financial instruments	10. Derivative financial instruments As part of managing interest rate risk, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of the Company’s portfolios of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company designates interest rate swap agreements utilized in the management of interest rate risk as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. Interest rate swap agreements are generally entered into with counterparties that meet established credit standards and most contain master netting and collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. Based on adherence to the Company’s credit standards and the presence of the netting and collateral provisions, the Company believes that the credit risk inherent in these contracts was not significant as of March 31, 2016. The net effect of interest rate swap agreements was to increase net interest income by $10 million and $11 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Information about interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management purposes summarized by type of financial instrument the swap agreements were intended to hedge follows: Weighted- Notional Average average rate amount maturity Fixed Variable (in thousands) (in years) March 31, 2016 Fair value hedges: Fixed rate long-term borrowings (a) $ 1,400,000 1.4 4.42 % 1.59 % December 31, 2015 Fair value hedges: Fixed rate long-term borrowings (a) $ 1,400,000 1.7 4.42 % 1.39 % (a) Under the terms of these agreements, the Company receives settlement amounts at a fixed rate and pays at a variable rate. The Company utilizes commitments to sell residential and commercial real estate loans to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of real estate loans held for sale. Such commitments have generally been designated as fair value hedges. The Company also utilizes commitments to sell real estate loans to offset the exposure to changes in fair value of certain commitments to originate real estate loans for sale. Derivative financial instruments used for trading account purposes included interest rate contracts, foreign exchange and other option contracts, foreign exchange forward and spot contracts, and financial futures. Interest rate contracts entered into for trading account purposes had notional values of $18.9 billion and $18.4 billion at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The notional amounts of foreign currency and other option and futures contracts entered into for trading account purposes aggregated $2.8 billion and $1.6 billion at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

As a result of these activities, net unrealized pre-tax gains related to hedged loans held for sale, commitments to originate loans for sale and commitments to sell loans were approximately $22 million and $18 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Changes in unrealized gains and losses are included in mortgage banking revenues and, in general, are realized in subsequent periods as the related loans are sold and commitments satisfied. The Company does not offset derivative asset and liability positions in its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s exposure to credit risk by entering into derivative contracts is mitigated through master netting agreements and collateral posting requirements. Master netting agreements covering interest rate and foreign exchange contracts with the same party include a right to set-off that becomes enforceable in the event of default, early termination or under other specific conditions. The aggregate fair value of derivative financial instruments in a liability position, which are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements, was $98 million and $59 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. After consideration of such netting arrangements, the net liability positions with counterparties aggregated $95 million and $55 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company was required to post collateral relating to those positions of $84 million and $52 million, at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Certain of the Company’s derivative financial instruments contain provisions that require the Company to maintain specific credit ratings from credit rating agencies to avoid higher collateral posting requirements. If the Company’s debt rating were to fall below specified ratings, the counterparties to the derivative financial instruments could demand immediate incremental collateralization on those instruments in a net liability position. The aggregate fair value of all derivative financial instruments with such credit risk-related contingent features in a net liability position on March 31, 2016 was $19 million, for which the Company had posted collateral of $13 million in the normal course of business. If the credit risk-related contingent features had been triggered on March 31, 2016, the maximum amount of additional collateral the Company would have been required to post with counterparties was $6 million. The aggregate fair value of derivative financial instruments in an asset position, which are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements, was $24 million and $23 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. After consideration of such netting arrangements, the net asset positions with counterparties aggregated $21 million and $19 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Counterparties posted collateral relating to those positions of $21 million and $22 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Trading account interest rate swap agreements entered into with customers are subject to the Company’s credit risk standards and often contain collateral provisions. In addition to the derivative contracts noted above, the Company clears certain derivative transactions through a clearinghouse rather than directly with counterparties. Those transactions cleared through a clearinghouse require initial margin collateral and additional collateral for contracts in a net liability position. The net fair values of derivative financial instruments cleared through clearinghouses at March 31, 2016 was a net liability position of $156 million and at December 31, 2015 was a net liability position of $50 million. Collateral posted with clearinghouses was $204 million and $99 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Variable interest entities and asset securitizations	11. Variable interest entities and asset securitizations In accordance with GAAP, at December 31, 2015 the Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of a residential mortgage loan securitization trust considering its role as servicer and its retained subordinated interests in the trust. As a result, the Company had included the one-to-four family residential mortgage loans that were included in the trust in its consolidated financial statements. In the first quarter of 2016, the securitization trust was terminated as the Company exercised its right to purchase the underlying mortgage loans pursuant to the clean-up call provisions of the trust. At December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the loans in the securitization trust was $81 million. The outstanding principal amount of mortgage-backed securities issued by the qualified special purpose trust that was held by parties unrelated to the Company at December 31, 2015 was $13 million. As described in note 5, M&T has issued junior subordinated debentures payable to various trusts that have issued Capital Securities. M&T owns the common securities of those trust entities. The Company is not considered to be the primary beneficiary of those entities and, accordingly, the trusts are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At each of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company included the junior subordinated debentures as “long-term borrowings” in its consolidated balance sheet and recognized $24 million in other assets for its “investment” in the common securities of the trusts that will be concomitantly repaid to M&T by the respective trust from the proceeds of M&T’s repayment of the junior subordinated debentures associated with preferred capital securities described in note 5. The Company has invested as a limited partner in various partnerships that collectively had total assets of approximately $1.1 billion at each of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Those partnerships generally construct or acquire properties for which the investing partners are eligible to receive certain federal income tax credits in accordance with government guidelines. Such investments may also provide tax deductible losses to the partners. The partnership investments also assist the Company in achieving its community reinvestment initiatives. As a limited partner, there is no recourse to the Company by creditors of the partnerships. However, the tax credits that result from the Company’s investments in such partnerships are generally subject to recapture should a partnership fail to comply with the respective government regulations. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss of its investments in such partnerships was $290 million, including $80 million of unfunded commitments, at March 31, 2016 and $295 million, including $78 million of unfunded commitments, at December 31, 2015. Contingent commitments to provide additional capital contributions to these partnerships were not material at March 31, 2016. The Company has not provided financial or other support to the partnerships that was not contractually required. Management currently estimates that no material losses are probable as a result of the Company’s involvement with such entities. The Company, in its position as a limited partner, does not direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the partnerships and, therefore, in accordance with the accounting provisions for variable interest entities, the partnership entities are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s investment cost is amortized to income taxes in the consolidated statement of income as tax credits and other tax benefits resulting from deductible losses associated with the projects are received. The Company amortized $11 million and $10 million of its investments in qualified affordable housing projects to income tax expense during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and recognized $14 million of tax credits and other tax benefits during each of those respective periods. The Company serves as investment advisor for certain registered money-market funds. The Company has no explicit arrangement to provide support to those funds, but may waive portions of its management fees. Such waivers were not material during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair value measurements	12. Fair value measurements GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has not made any fair value elections at March 31, 2016. Pursuant to GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy exists in GAAP for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. • Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. • Level 2 – Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market. • Level 3 – Valuation is derived from model-based and other techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and which may be based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability. When available, the Company attempts to use quoted market prices in active markets to determine fair value and classifies such items as Level 1 or Level 2. If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair value is often determined using model-based techniques incorporating various assumptions including interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit losses. Assets and liabilities valued using model-based techniques are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the lowest level classification of an input that is considered significant to the overall valuation. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at estimated fair value. Trading account assets and liabilities Trading account assets and liabilities consist primarily of interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts with customers who require such services with offsetting positions with third parties to minimize the Company’s risk with respect to such transactions. The Company generally determines the fair value of its derivative trading account assets and liabilities using externally developed pricing models based on market observable inputs and, therefore, classifies such valuations as Level 2. Mutual funds held in connection with deferred compensation and other arrangements have been classified as Level 1 valuations. Valuations of investments in municipal and other bonds can generally be obtained through reference to quoted prices in less active markets for the same or similar securities or through model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable and, therefore, such valuations have been classified as Level 2. Investment securities available for sale The majority of the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities have been valued by reference to prices for similar securities or through model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable and, therefore, such valuations have been classified as Level 2. Certain investments in mutual funds and equity securities are actively traded and, therefore, have been classified as Level 1 valuations. Included in collateralized debt obligations are securities backed by trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and other entities. The Company could not obtain pricing indications for many of these securities from its two primary independent pricing sources. The Company, therefore, performed internal modeling to estimate the cash flows and fair value of its portfolio of securities backed by trust preferred securities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The modeling techniques included estimating cash flows using bond-specific assumptions about future collateral defaults and related loss severities. The resulting cash flows were then discounted by reference to market yields observed in the single-name trust preferred securities market. In determining a market yield applicable to the estimated cash flows, a margin over LIBOR ranging from 4% to 10%, with a weighted-average of 8%, was used. Significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of estimated fair value of collateralized debt obligations are included in the accompanying table of significant unobservable inputs to Level 3 measurements. At March 31, 2016, the total amortized cost and fair value of securities backed by trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and other entities were $28 million and $45 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2015 were $28 million and $47 million, respectively. Privately issued mortgage-backed securities and securities backed by trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions and other entities constituted all of the available-for-sale investment securities classified as Level 3 valuations. The Company ensures an appropriate control framework is in place over the valuation processes and techniques used for significant Level 3 fair value measurements. Internal pricing models used for significant valuation measurements have generally been subjected to validation procedures including testing of mathematical constructs, review of valuation methodology and significant assumptions used. Real estate loans held for sale The Company utilizes commitments to sell real estate loans to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value of real estate loans held for sale. The carrying value of hedged real estate loans held for sale includes changes in estimated fair value during the hedge period. Typically, the Company attempts to hedge real estate loans held for sale from the date of close through the sale date. The fair value of hedged real estate loans held for sale is generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell real estate loans with similar characteristics and, accordingly, such loans have been classified as a Level 2 valuation. Commitments to originate real estate loans for sale and commitments to sell real estate loans The Company enters into various commitments to originate real estate loans for sale and commitments to sell real estate loans. Such commitments are considered to be derivative financial instruments and, therefore, are carried at estimated fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. The estimated fair values of such commitments were generally calculated by reference to quoted prices in secondary markets for commitments to sell real estate loans to certain government-sponsored entities and other parties. The fair valuations of commitments to sell real estate loans generally result in a Level 2 classification. The estimated fair value of commitments to originate real estate loans for sale are adjusted to reflect the Company’s anticipated commitment expirations. The estimated commitment expirations are considered significant unobservable inputs contributing to the Level 3 classification of commitments to originate real estate loans for sale. Significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of estimated fair value of commitments to originate real estate loans for sale are included in the accompanying table of significant unobservable inputs to Level 3 measurements. Interest rate swap agreements used for interest rate risk management The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of the management of interest rate risk to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of its portfolios of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company generally determines the fair value of its interest rate swap agreements using externally developed pricing models based on market observable inputs and, therefore, classifies such valuations as Level 2. The Company has considered counterparty credit risk in the valuation of its interest rate swap agreement assets and has considered its own credit risk in the valuation of its interest rate swap agreement liabilities. The following tables present assets and liabilities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis: Fair value Level 1(a) Level 2(a) Level 3 (in thousands) Trading account assets $ 467,987 69,689 398,298 — Investment securities available for sale: U.S. Treasury and federal agencies 202,192 — 202,192 — Obligations of states and political subdivisions 5,448 — 5,448 — Mortgage-backed securities: Government issued or guaranteed 11,750,062 — 11,750,062 — Privately issued 65 — — 65 Collateralized debt obligations 45,040 — — 45,040 Other debt securities 112,708 — 112,708 — Equity securities 85,132 67,150 17,982 — 12,200,647 67,150 12,088,392 45,105 Real estate loans held for sale 396,764 — 396,764 — Other assets (b) 59,028 — 42,099 16,929 Total assets $ 13,124,426 136,839 12,925,553 62,034 Trading account liabilities $ 295,869 — 295,869 — Other liabilities (b) 5,700 — 5,656 44 Total liabilities $ 301,569 — 301,525 44 Fair value Level 1(a) Level 2(a) Level 3 (in thousands) Trading account assets $ 273,783 56,763 217,020 — Investment securities available for sale: U.S. Treasury and federal agencies 299,997 — 299,997 — Obligations of states and political subdivisions 6,028 — 6,028 — Mortgage-backed securities: Government issued or guaranteed 11,686,628 — 11,686,628 — Privately issued 74 — — 74 Collateralized debt obligations 47,393 — — 47,393 Other debt securities 118,880 — 118,880 — Equity securities 83,671 65,178 18,493 — 12,242,671 65,178 12,130,026 47,467 Real estate loans held for sale 392,036 — 392,036 — Other assets (b) 56,551 — 46,269 10,282 Total assets $ 12,965,041 121,941 12,785,351 57,749 Trading account liabilities $ 160,745 — 160,745 — Other liabilities (b) 1,905 — 1,502 403 Total liabilities $ 162,650 — 162,247 403 (a) There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015. (b) Comprised predominantly of interest rate swap agreements used for interest rate risk management (Level 2), commitments to sell real estate loans (Level 2) and commitments to originate real estate loans to be held for sale (Level 3). The changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2016 were as follows: Investment securities available for sale Privately issued Collateralized Other assets (in thousands) Balance – January 1, 2016 $ 74 $ 47,393 $ 9,879 Total gains (losses) realized/unrealized: Included in earnings — — 23,898 (b) Included in other comprehensive income — (2,148 )(c) — Settlements (9 ) (205 ) — Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 (a) — — (16,892 )(d) Balance – March 31, 2016 $ 65 $ 45,040 $ 16,885 Changes in unrealized gains included in earnings related to assets still held at March 31, 2016 $ — $ — $ 14,539 (b) The changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2015 were as follows: Investment securities available for sale Privately issued Collateralized Other assets (in thousands) Balance – January 1, 2015 $ 103 $ 50,316 $ 17,347 Total gains (losses) realized/unrealized: Included in earnings — — 29,770 (b) Included in other comprehensive income — (2,004 )(c) — Settlements (8 ) (1,034 ) — Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 (a) — — (20,887 )(d) Balance – March 31, 2015 $ 95 $ 47,278 $ 26,230 Changes in unrealized gains included in earnings related to assets still held at March 31, 2015 $ — $ — $ 22,636 (b) (a) The Company’s policy for transfers between fair value levels is to recognize the transfer as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. (b) Reported as mortgage banking revenues in the consolidated statement of income and includes the fair value of commitment issuances and expirations. (c) Reported as net unrealized losses on investment securities in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. (d) Transfers out of Level 3 consist of interest rate locks transferred to closed loans. The Company is required, on a nonrecurring basis, to adjust the carrying value of certain assets or provide valuation allowances related to certain assets using fair value measurements. The more significant of those assets follow. Loans Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan and, as a result, the carrying value of the loan less the calculated valuation amount does not necessarily represent the fair value of the loan. Real estate collateral is typically valued using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace and the related nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments have generally been classified as Level 2, unless significant adjustments have been made to the valuation that are not readily observable by market participants. Non-real estate collateral supporting commercial loans generally consists of business assets such as receivables, inventory and equipment. Fair value estimations are typically determined by discounting recorded values of those assets to reflect estimated net realizable value considering specific borrower facts and circumstances and the experience of credit personnel in their dealings with similar borrower collateral liquidations. Such discounts were generally in the range of 10% to 90% at March 31, 2016. As these discounts are not readily observable and are considered significant, the valuations have been classified as Level 3. Automobile collateral is typically valued by reference to independent pricing sources based on recent sales transactions of similar vehicles, and the related non-recurring fair value measurement adjustments have been classified as Level 2. Collateral values for other consumer installment loans are generally estimated based on historical recovery rates for similar types of loans. As these recovery rates are not readily observable by market participants, such valuation adjustments have been classified as Level 3. Loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement were $226 million at March 31, 2016 ($127 million and $99 million of which were classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively), $210 million at December 31, 2015 ($106 million and $104 million of which were classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively) and $101 million at March 31, 2015 ($67 million and $34 million of which were classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively). Changes in fair value recognized for partial charge-offs of loans and loan impairment reserves on loans held by the Company on March 31, 2016 and 2015 were decreases of $27 million and $8 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans are primarily comprised of commercial and residential real property and are generally measured at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. The fair value of the real property is generally determined using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace, and the related nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments have generally been classified as Level 2. Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement were $62 million and $11 million at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Changes in fair value recognized for those foreclosed assets held by the Company were not material during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Significant unobservable inputs to Level 3 measurements The following tables present quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements for Level 3 assets and liabilities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015: Fair value at Valuation technique Unobservable input/assumptions Range (in thousands) Recurring fair value measurements Privately issued mortgage–backed securities $ 65 Two independent pricing quotes — — Collateralized debt obligations 45,040 Discounted cash flow Probability of default 10%-56% (31%) Loss severity 100% Net other assets (liabilities) (a) 16,885 Discounted cash flow Commitment expirations 0%-66% (31%) Fair value at Valuation technique Unobservable input/assumptions Range (in thousands) Recurring fair value measurements Privately issued mortgage–backed securities $ 74 Two independent pricing quotes — — Collateralized debt obligations 47,393 Discounted cash flow Probability of default 10%-56% (31%) Loss severity 100% Net other assets (liabilities) (a) 9,879 Discounted cash flow Commitment expirations 0%-60% (39%) (a) Other Level 3 assets (liabilities) consist of commitments to originate real estate loans. Sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs An increase (decrease) in the probability of default and loss severity for collateralized debt securities would generally result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement. An increase (decrease) in the estimate of expirations for commitments to originate real estate loans would generally result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement.

The Company, in attempting to comply with the provisions of GAAP that require disclosures of fair value of financial instruments, has not attempted to market its financial instruments to potential buyers, if any exist. Since negotiated prices in illiquid markets depend greatly upon the then present motivations of the buyer and seller, it is reasonable to assume that actual sales prices could vary widely from any estimate of fair value made without the benefit of negotiations. Additionally, changes in market interest rates can dramatically impact the value of financial instruments in a short period of time. The following assumptions, methods and calculations were used in determining the estimated fair value of financial instruments not measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. Cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits at banks, deposits at Cayman Islands office, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents and the near maturity of interest-bearing deposits at banks, deposits at Cayman Islands office, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable, the Company estimated that the carrying amount of such instruments approximated estimated fair value. Investment securities Estimated fair values of investments in readily marketable securities were generally based on quoted market prices. Investment securities that were not readily marketable were assigned amounts based on estimates provided by outside parties or modeling techniques that relied upon discounted calculations of projected cash flows or, in the case of other investment securities, which include capital stock of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, at an amount equal to the carrying amount. Loans and leases In general, discount rates used to calculate values for loan products were based on the Company’s pricing at the respective period end. A higher discount rate was assumed with respect to estimated cash flows associated with nonaccrual loans. Projected loan cash flows were adjusted for estimated credit losses. However, such estimates made by the Company may not be indicative of assumptions and adjustments that a purchaser of the Company’s loans and leases would seek. Deposits Pursuant to GAAP, the estimated fair value ascribed to noninterest-bearing deposits, savings deposits and interest-checking deposits must be established at carrying value because of the customers’ ability to withdraw funds immediately. Time deposit accounts are required to be revalued based upon prevailing market interest rates for similar maturity instruments. As a result, amounts assigned to time deposits were based on discounted cash flow calculations using prevailing market interest rates based on the Company’s pricing at the respective date for deposits with comparable remaining terms to maturity. The Company believes that deposit accounts have a value greater than that prescribed by GAAP. The Company feels, however, that the value associated with these deposits is greatly influenced by characteristics of the buyer, such as the ability to reduce the costs of servicing the deposits and deposit attrition which often occurs following an acquisition. Long-term borrowings The amounts assigned to long-term borrowings were based on quoted market prices, when available, or were based on discounted cash flow calculations using prevailing market interest rates for borrowings of similar terms and credit risk. Other commitments and contingencies As described in note 13, in the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are outstanding, such as loan commitments, credit guarantees and letters of credit. The Company’s pricing of such financial instruments is based largely on credit quality and relationship, probability of funding and other requirements. Loan commitments often have fixed expiration dates and contain termination and other clauses which provide for relief from funding in the event of significant deterioration in the credit quality of the customer. The rates and terms of the Company’s loan commitments, credit guarantees and letters of credit are competitive with other financial institutions operating in markets served by the Company. The Company believes that the carrying amounts, which are included in other liabilities, are reasonable estimates of the fair value of these financial instruments. The Company does not believe that the estimated information presented herein is representative of the earnings power or value of the Company. The preceding analysis, which is inherently limited in depicting fair value, also does not consider any value associated with existing customer relationships nor the ability of the Company to create value through loan origination, deposit gathering or fee generating activities. Many of the estimates presented herein are based upon the use of highly subjective information and assumptions and, accordingly, the results may not be precise. Management believes that fair value estimates may not be comparable between financial institutions due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made. Furthermore, because the disclosed fair value amounts were estimated as of the balance sheet date, the amounts actually realized or paid upon maturity or settlement of the various financial instruments could be significantly different.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and contingencies	13. Commitments and contingencies In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are outstanding. The following table presents the Company’s significant commitments. Certain of these commitments are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. March 31, December 31, (in thousands) Commitments to extend credit Home equity lines of credit $ 5,604,610 5,631,680 Commercial real estate loans to be sold 184,198 57,597 Other commercial real estate 5,727,946 5,949,933 Residential real estate loans to be sold 520,694 488,621 Other residential real estate 281,735 212,619 Commercial and other 12,077,612 11,802,850 Standby letters of credit 3,330,241 3,330,013 Commercial letters of credit 45,798 55,559 Financial guarantees and indemnification contracts 2,773,590 2,794,322 Commitments to sell real estate loans 958,337 782,885 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, generally having fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses that may require payment of a fee. Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party, whereas commercial letters of credit are issued to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being funded when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and a third party. The credit risk associated with commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved with extending loans to customers and is subject to normal credit policies. Collateral may be obtained based on management’s assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness. Financial guarantees and indemnification contracts are oftentimes similar to standby letters of credit and include mandatory purchase agreements issued to ensure that customer obligations are fulfilled, recourse obligations associated with sold loans, and other guarantees of customer performance or compliance with designated rules and regulations. Included in financial guarantees and indemnification contracts are loan principal amounts sold with recourse in conjunction with the Company’s involvement in the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing program. The Company’s maximum credit risk for recourse associated with loans sold under this program totaled approximately $2.6 billion and $2.5 billion at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Since many loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and guarantees and indemnification contracts expire without being funded in whole or in part, the contract amounts are not necessarily indicative of future cash flows. The Company utilizes commitments to sell real estate loans to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of real estate loans held for sale. Such commitments are considered derivatives and along with commitments to originate real estate loans to be held for sale are generally recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at estimated fair market value. The Company also has commitments under long-term operating leases. The Company is contractually obligated to repurchase previously sold residential real estate loans that do not ultimately meet investor sale criteria related to underwriting procedures or loan documentation. When required to do so, the Company may reimburse loan purchasers for losses incurred or may repurchase certain loans. The Company reduces residential mortgage banking revenues by an estimate for losses related to its obligations to loan purchasers. The amount of those charges is based on the volume of loans sold, the level of reimbursement requests received from loan purchasers and estimates of losses that may be associated with previously sold loans. Subject to the outcome of the matter discussed in the following paragraph, at March 31, 2016, management believes that any further liability arising out of the Company’s obligation to loan purchasers is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position. The Company is the subject of an investigation by government agencies relating to the origination of Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) insured residential home loans and residential home loans sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. A number of other U.S. financial institutions have announced similar investigations. Regarding FHA loans, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) Office of Inspector General and the Department of Justice (collectively, the “Government”) are investigating whether the Company complied with underwriting guidelines concerning certain loans where HUD paid FHA insurance claims. The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation. The Government has advised the Company that based upon its review of a sample of loans for which an FHA insurance claim was paid by HUD, some of the loans do not meet underwriting guidelines. The Company, based on its own review of the sample, does not agree with the sampling methodology and loan analysis employed by the Government. Regarding loans originated by the Company and sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the investigation concerns whether the mortgages sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae comply with applicable underwriting guidelines. The Company is also cooperating with that portion of the investigation. The investigation could lead to claims by the Government under the False Claims Act and the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, which allow treble and other special damages substantially in excess of actual losses. Remedies in these proceedings or settlements may include restitution, fines, penalties, or alterations in the Company’s business practices. The Company and the Government continue settlement discussions regarding the investigation and although progress has been made, the parties have not yet reached a definitive agreement. Based upon the current status of these negotiations, management expects that this potential settlement should not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations in future periods. M&T and its subsidiaries are subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and other matters in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. On an on-going basis management, after consultation with legal counsel, assesses the Company’s liabilities and contingencies in connection with such proceedings. For those matters where it is probable that the Company will incur losses and the amounts of the losses can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements. To the extent the pending or threatened litigation could result in exposure in excess of that liability, the amount of such excess is not currently estimable. Although not considered probable, the range of reasonably possible losses for such matters in the aggregate, beyond the existing recorded liability, was between $0 and $40 million. Although the Company does not believe that the outcome of pending litigations will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, it cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes will be material to the consolidated results of operations for a particular reporting period in the future.

Segment information

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment information	14. Segment information Reportable segments have been determined based upon the Company’s internal profitability reporting system, which is organized by strategic business unit. Certain strategic business units have been combined for segment information reporting purposes where the nature of the products and services, the type of customer and the distribution of those products and services are similar. The reportable segments are Business Banking, Commercial Banking, Commercial Real Estate, Discretionary Portfolio, Residential Mortgage Banking and Retail Banking. The financial information of the Company’s segments was compiled utilizing the accounting policies described in note 22 of Notes to Financial Statements in the 2015 Annual Report. The management accounting policies and processes utilized in compiling segment financial information are highly subjective and, unlike financial accounting, are not based on authoritative guidance similar to GAAP. As a result, reported segment results are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions. Furthermore, changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in changes in reported segment financial data. Effective July 1, 2015, the Company changed its internal profitability reporting to move a builder and developer lending unit from the Residential Mortgage Banking segment to the Commercial Real Estate segment. Accordingly, financial information presented herein for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. As a result, total revenues and net income decreased in the Residential Mortgage Banking segment and increased in the Commercial Real Estate segment by $6 million and $3 million, respectively, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 from that which was previously reported. As also described in note 22 in the 2015 Annual Report, neither goodwill nor core deposit and other intangible assets (and the amortization charges associated with such assets) resulting from acquisitions of financial institutions have been allocated to the Company’s reportable segments, but are included in the “All Other” category. The Company does, however, assign such intangible assets to business units for purposes of testing for impairment. Information about the Company’s segments is presented in the following table: Three months ended March 31 2016 2015 Total Inter- Net Total Inter- Net (in thousands) Business Banking $ 113,689 991 25,448 $ 108,560 1,045 24,811 Commercial Banking 253,617 1,056 101,327 246,581 1,085 96,423 Commercial Real Estate 177,380 387 80,529 169,021 82 82,591 Discretionary Portfolio 86,835 (14,323 ) 39,988 15,474 (5,443 ) 5,954 Residential Mortgage Banking 96,935 19,660 17,077 105,757 11,387 29,460 Retail Banking 339,046 3,014 63,288 300,391 3,137 68,888 All Other 225,395 (10,785 ) (29,129 ) 154,007 (11,293 ) (66,514 ) Total $ 1,292,897 — 298,528 $ 1,099,791 — 241,613 Average total assets Three months ended Year ended 2016 2015 2015 (in millions) Business Banking $ 5,424 5,300 5,339 Commercial Banking 24,838 23,683 24,143 Commercial Real Estate 19,839 18,334 (b) 18,827 Discretionary Portfolio 42,509 22,714 26,648 Residential Mortgage Banking 2,647 3,197 (b) 2,918 Retail Banking 11,568 10,788 11,035 All Other 16,427 11,876 12,870 Total $ 123,252 95,892 101,780 (a) Total revenues are comprised of net interest income and other income. Net interest income is the difference between taxable-equivalent interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities owed by a segment and a funding charge (credit) based on the Company’s internal funds transfer pricing and allocation methodology. Segments are charged a cost to fund any assets (e.g. loans) and are paid a funding credit for any funds provided (e.g. deposits). The taxable-equivalent adjustment aggregated $6,332,000 and $5,838,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and is eliminated in “All Other” total revenues. Intersegment revenues are included in total revenues of the reportable segments. The elimination of intersegment revenues is included in the determination of “All Other” total revenues. (b) Average assets of the Commercial Real Estate and Residential Mortgage Banking segments for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 differ by approximately $315 million from the previously reported balances reflecting the noted change in the Company’s internal profitability reporting to move a builder and developer lending unit from the Residential Mortgage Banking segment to the Commercial Real Estate segment.

Sale of trust accounts	16. Sale of trust accounts In April 2015, the Company sold the trade processing business within the retirement services division of its Institutional Client Services business. That sale resulted in an after-tax gain of $23 million ($45 million pre-tax) that reflected the allocation of approximately $11 million of previously recorded goodwill to the divested business. Revenues of the sold business had been included in “trust income” and were $9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. After considering related expenses, net income attributable to the business that was sold was not material to the consolidated results of operations of the Company during the first quarter of 2015.

Net interest income is the difference between taxable-equivalent interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities owed by a segment and a funding charge (credit) based on the Company’s internal funds transfer pricing and allocation methodology. Segments are charged a cost to fund any assets (e.g. loans) and are paid a funding credit for any funds provided (e.g. deposits). The taxable-equivalent adjustment aggregated $6,332,000 and $5,838,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and is eliminated in “All Other” total revenues. Intersegment revenues are included in total revenues of the reportable segments. The elimination of intersegment revenues is included in the determination of “All Other” total revenues. (b) Average assets of the Commercial Real Estate and Residential Mortgage Banking segments for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 differ by approximately $315 million from the previously reported balances reflecting the noted change in the Company’s internal profitability reporting to move a builder and developer lending unit from the Residential Mortgage Banking segment to the Commercial Real Estate segment.
