Credit Losses
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses	These Updates replace the current long-standing incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects current expected credit losses (commonly referred to as CECL) for most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including loans, HTM debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures except for unconditionally cancellable commitments. CECL requires loss estimates for the remaining life of the financial asset at the time the asset is originated or acquired, considering historical experience, current conditions and R&S forecasts. In addition, the Update will require the use of a modified AFS debt security impairment model and eliminate the current accounting for PCI loans and debt securities.	On January 1, 2020, we adopted CECL using the modified retrospective method for financial assets measured at amortized cost, net investments in leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures. While these Updates change the measurement of the ACL, it does not change the credit risk of our lending portfolios or the ultimate losses in those portfolios. However, the CECL ACL methodology will produce higher volatility in the quarterly provision for credit losses than our prior reserve process. We created a cross-functional management steering group to govern implementation and the Audit and Risk Committees and the Board of Directors received regular updates. For financial assets measured at amortized cost we have implemented a new modeling platform and integrated other auxiliary models to support a calculation of expected credit losses under CECL. We have made decisions on segmentation, a R&S forecast period, a reversion method and period and a historical loss forecast covering the remaining contractual life, adjusted for prepayments as well as other criteria. Based on our portfolio composition and forecasts of relatively stable macroeconomic conditions over the next two years at the adoption date, we recorded an overall ACL of $301 million. This reflected an increase on the originated portfolio of $55 million, primarily driven by our longer duration commercial and consumer real estate loans and a "gross-up" for PCI loans of $50 million. There is no capital impact related to the PCI loans at adoption. The impact for the adoption of CECL was a reduction to retained earnings of $51 million, which included a $10 million increase to the AULC. The impact upon adoption was dependent on the portfolio composition and credit quality, as well as historical experience, current conditions and forecasts of economic conditions and interest rates at the time of adoption. The impact to our AFS and HTM debt securities was immaterial. Model development, as well as the development of policies and procedures and, internal controls were complete at the time of adoption.

Reference Rate Reform
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope	These Updates provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to financial contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by RRR if certain criteria are met. The following optional expedients, exceptions and elections are permitted for certain contracts that are modified because of RRR and meet certain scope guidance: •Contract modifications may be accounted for prospectively as a continuation of existing contracts rather than a new contract without remeasurement or reassessment of significant contract amendments •modifications of leases to be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contracts without reassessment of lease classification and discount rate or remeasurement of lease payments •to not reassess the original conclusion about whether a contract contains an embedded derivative that is clearly and closely related to the host contract •changes to critical terms of hedging relationships, on a hedge-by-hedge basis, without designation of the hedging relationship and various practical expedients and elections designed to allow hedge accounting to continue uninterrupted •modifications of certain derivatives modified to change the rate used for margining, discounting or contract price alignment. The Updates also allow an entity to make a one-time election to sell and/or transfer to HTM securities that are affected by RRR and were classified as HTM before January 1, 2020.	RRR Updates are effective for all entities from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020 and terminates on December 31, 2022 on a full retrospective or prospective basis. Although we do not expect RRR to have a material accounting impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, the Updates will ease the administrative burden in accounting for the effects of RRR. We adopted these updates on October 1, 2020 by retrospective application. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. We will continue to assess the impact of adoption through the termination date of these Updates on December 31, 2022.
