(1) Approximately 49% and 43% of asset-backed securities held as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, were Federal Family Education Loan Program Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities collateralized by credit card receivables represented approximately 37% and 42% of the asset-backed securities held as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
(2) As of September 30, 2020 approximately 47% of the total AFS, and as of December 31, 2019 approximately 32%, of the total AFS and HTM investments in corporate debt securities and commercial paper were issued by institutions in the financial services industry.
(3) Included in cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, but excluded from this table is $2.5 billion of AFS commercial paper as of December 31, 2019 (none as of September 30, 2020). These holdings have maturities of three months or less and an aggregate market value equal to amortized cost.

In October 2019, the Federal Reserve issued a final enhanced prudential standards rule, and the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the FDIC jointly issued a final regulatory capital and liquidity rule. With total consolidated assets of $294.0 billion at December 31, 2019, CSC is designated as a Category III firm pursuant to the framework established by the final rules. Accordingly, the Company opted to exclude AOCI from its regulatory capital as permitted by the regulatory capital and liquidity rule beginning January 1, 2020. In accordance with ASC 320 and as of January 1, 2020, the Company transferred all of its investment securities designated as HTM to the AFS category without tainting our intent to hold other debt securities to maturity. At the date of transfer, these securities had a total amortized cost of $134.7 billion and a total net unrealized gain of $1.4 billion.

At September 30, 2020, our banking subsidiaries had pledged securities with a fair value of $36.9 billion as collateral to secure borrowing capacity on secured credit facilities with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) (see Note 9). Our banking subsidiaries also pledge investment securities as collateral to secure borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve discount
window, and had pledged securities with a fair value of $7.6 billion as collateral for this facility at September 30, 2020. The Company also pledges securities issued by federal agencies to secure certain trust deposits. The fair value of these pledged securities was $1.3 billion at September 30, 2020.

Securities with unrealized losses, aggregated by category and period of continuous unrealized loss, are as follows:

At September 30, 2020, substantially all rated securities in the investment portfolios were investment grade. U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities do not have explicit credit ratings; however, management considers these to be of the highest credit quality and rating given the guarantee of principal and interest by the U.S. government or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.

For a description of management’s quarterly evaluation of AFS securities in unrealized loss positions see Note 2. No amounts were recognized as credit loss expense and no securities were written down to fair value through earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. None of the Company’s AFS securities held as of September 30, 2020 had an allowance for credit losses. No amounts were recognized as OTTI in earnings or other comprehensive income during the year ended December 31, 2019, and as of December 31, 2019, Schwab did not hold any securities on which OTTI was previously recognized.

The Company had $597 million of accrued interest receivable as of September 30, 2020 for AFS securities, and $471 million of accrued interest receivable for AFS and HTM securities as of December 31, 2019. These amounts are excluded from the amortized cost basis of AFS and HTM securities and included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no write-offs of accrued interest receivable on AFS securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, or write-offs of accrued interest receivable on AFS securities or HTM securities during the year ended December 31, 2019.
In the table below, mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities have been allocated to maturity groupings based on final contractual maturities. As borrowers may have the right to call or prepay certain obligations underlying our investment securities, actual maturities may differ from the scheduled contractual maturities presented below.
