(A) DEPOSITS

Deposits are raised through the use of investment brokerage firms who package deposits qualifying for FDIC insurance into pools that are sold to the Bank. The rates paid on the deposits are highly competitive with market rates paid by other financial institutions. Additionally, a brokerage fee is paid, depending on the maturity of the deposits, which averages less than 0.15%. Interest on the deposits is accrued daily and paid monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or at maturity. All time deposits are in denominations of less than $250,000 and have been originated through certificates of deposit broker relationships. The table presents time deposits of $100,000 or more by their maturity:

(B) DZ LOAN

In December 2008, Trust III entered into the DZ loan agreement with DZ Bank, to provide up to $200,000,000 of financing through a commercial paper conduit to acquire medallion loans from MFC (DZ loan), which was extended in December 2013 until December 2016 through an amended and restated credit agreement, which has been further extended several times and currently terminates in September 2019. The line was reduced to $150,000,000, and was further reduced in stages to $125,000,000 on July 1, 2016, remained as an amortizing facility and was restructured during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Borrowings under Trust III’s DZ loan are collateralized by Trust III’s assets. MFC is the servicer of the loans owned by Trust III. In addition, if certain financial tests are not met, MFC can be replaced as the servicer. See Note 23 for more information about Trust III and the DZ loan.

Over the years, the SBA has approved commitments for MCI and FSVC, typically for a four and half year term and a 1% fee, which was paid.

In connection with the SBA Loan, FSVC executed a Note (the SBA Note), with an effective date of March 1, 2017, in favor of SBA, in the principal amount of $34,024,756. The SBA Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, required a minimum of $5,000,000 of principal and interest to be paid on or before February 1, 2018 (which was paid) and a minimum of $10,000,000 of principal and interest to be paid on or before March 15, 2019, and all remaining unpaid principal and interest on or before February 1, 2020, the final maturity date.
