International activities

17.    International activities

The Company engages in limited international activities including certain trust-related services in Europe, collecting Eurodollar deposits, engaging in foreign currency trading on behalf of customers, providing credit to support the international activities of domestic companies and holding certain loans to foreign borrowers. Assets and revenues associated with international activities represent less than 1% of the Company’s consolidated assets and revenues. International assets included $265 million and $213 million of loans to foreign borrowers at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Deposits at M&T Bank’s Cayman Islands office were $170 million and $177 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company uses such deposits to facilitate customer demand and as an alternative to short-term borrowings when the costs of such deposits seem reasonable. Revenues from providing international trust-related services were approximately $26 million in 2015, $31 million in 2014 and $26 million in 2013.
