Summary of Derivative Instruments [Abstract]  
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Accounting
Our primary objective for using derivatives is to manage risks, primarily interest rate risk. We use derivatives to manage volatility in interest income, interest expense, earnings, and capital by adjusting our interest rate sensitivity
to minimize the impact of fluctuations in interest rates. Derivatives are used to stabilize forecasted interest income from variable-rate assets and to modify the coupon or the duration of fixed-rate financial assets or liabilities as we consider advisable. We assist clients with their risk management needs through the use of derivatives. For a more detailed discussion of the use of and accounting policies regarding derivative instruments, see Note 7 of our 2020 Form 10-K.
Fair Value Hedges of Liabilities – At June 30, 2021, we had one receive-fixed interest rate swap with a notional amount of $500 million designated in a qualifying fair value hedge relationship of fixed-rate debt. The receive-fixed interest rate swap effectively converts the interest on our fixed-rate debt to floating. During the second quarter of 2021, derivatives designated as fair value hedges of debt increased in value by $12 million which was offset by changes in the fair value of the hedged debt instruments as shown in the schedules below. During the second quarter of 2021, we amortized $3 million of cumulative unamortized debt basis adjustments related to previously terminated fair value hedges of debt. We had $5 million of unamortized debt basis adjustments from previously designated fair value hedges remaining.
Fair Value Hedges of Assets – At June 30, 2021, we had pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $383 million designated as fair value hedges of certain AFS securities. These swaps effectively convert the fixed interest income to a floating rate on the hedged portion of the securities. During the second quarter of 2021, derivatives designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate AFS securities decreased in value by $25 million, which was offset by changes in value of the hedged securities, as shown in the schedules below. We had $7 million of unamortized basis adjustments to AFS securities from previously designated fair value hedges.
Cash Flow Hedges – At June 30, 2021, we had $4 billion notional amount of receive-fixed interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges of pools of floating-rate commercial loans. During the second quarter of 2021, our cash flow hedge portfolio decreased in value by $12 million, which was recorded in AOCI. The amounts deferred in AOCI are reclassified into earnings in the periods in which the interest payments occur (i.e., when the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings).
Collateral and Credit Risk
Exposure to credit risk arises from the possibility of nonperformance by counterparties. No significant losses on derivative instruments have occurred as a result of counterparty nonperformance. For a more detailed discussion of collateral and credit risk related to our derivative contracts, see Note 7 of our 2020 Form 10-K.
Our derivative contracts require us to pledge collateral for derivatives that are in a net liability position at a given balance sheet date. Certain of these derivative contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent features that include the requirement to maintain a minimum debt credit rating. We may be required to pledge additional collateral if a credit-risk-related feature were triggered, such as a downgrade of our credit rating. However, in past situations, not all counterparties have demanded that additional collateral be pledged when provided for by the contractual terms. At June 30, 2021, the fair value of our derivative liabilities was $295 million, for which we were required to pledge cash collateral of $61 million in the normal course of business. If our credit rating were downgraded one notch by either Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s at June 30, 2021, there would likely be $2 million of additional collateral required to be pledged. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”), all newly eligible derivatives entered into are cleared through a central clearinghouse. Derivatives that are centrally cleared do not have credit-risk-related features that require additional collateral if our credit rating were downgraded.

1 Customer-facing interest rate derivatives include a net CVA of $5 million at June 30, 2021, and an $18 million net credit valuation adjustment reducing the fair value amount at December 31, 2020. These adjustments are required to reflect both our nonperformance risk and that of the respective counterparty.
2 The fair value amounts for these derivatives do not include the settlement amounts for those trades that are centrally cleared. Once the settlement amounts with the clearing houses are included the derivative fair values would be the following:

Note: These schedules are not intended to present, at any given time, our long/short position with respect to our derivative contracts.
1 Amounts recognized in OCI and reclassified from AOCI represent the effective portion of the derivative gain (loss). For the 12 months following June 30, 2021, we estimate that $48 million will be reclassified from AOCI into interest income.
2 Adjustment to interest expense resulting from the amortization of the debt basis adjustment on fixed-rate debt previously hedged by terminated receive-fixed interest rate.
3The cumulative unamortized basis adjustment from previously terminated or redesignated fair value hedges at June 30, 2021 is $5 million and $7 million of terminated fair value debt and asset hedges, respectively. The amortization of the cumulative unamortized basis adjustment from asset hedges is not shown in the schedules because it is not significant.
