Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]  
Investment Securities INVESTMENT SECURITIES
With the adoption of the CECL standard on January 1, 2020, credit losses on investment securities are required to be recognized
through an allowance, instead of as a direct write-down to the amortized cost basis of the security. The amortized cost basis of
investment securities for which impairment had previously been recorded did not change upon adoption.

We maintain the allowance for investment securities at levels that we believe to be appropriate as of the balance sheet date to absorb
expected credit losses on our portfolio. As of December 31, 2020, the allowance for investment securities was $82 million and
primarily related to non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities in the available for sale portfolio and other debt securities in
the held to maturity portfolio. The provision for credit losses on investment securities totaled $80 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In the first quarter of 2020, upon the adoption of ASU 2019-04, we elected to transfer debt securities with an amortized cost of $16.2 billion and a fair value of $16.5 billion from the held to maturity to the available for sale portfolio. During the second quarter of 2020, pursuant to the guidance in ASU 2020-04, we elected to transfer debt securities with an amortized cost of $49 million and a fair value of $48 million from the held to maturity to the available for sale portfolio.

See Note 1 Accounting Policies for additional information related to the adoption of the CECL standard, including the methodologies
used to determine the allowance for investment securities, and the adoption of ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2020-04.
The following table summarizes our available for sale and held to maturity portfolios by major security type:

(a) The accrued interest associated with our available for sale and held to maturity portfolios totaled $238 million and $5 million at December 31, 2020, respectively. These amounts are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(b) Amortized cost is presented net of allowance of $79 million for securities available for sale and $3 million for securities held to maturity at December 31, 2020 in accordance with the CECL accounting standard. See the Recently Adopted Accounting Standards portion of Note 1 Accounting Policies for additional detail on the CECL accounting standard.
(c) Credit ratings represent a primary credit quality indicator used to monitor and manage credit risk. As of December 31, 2020, 85% of our securities held to maturity were rated AAA/AA.
The fair value of investment securities is impacted by interest rates, credit spreads, market volatility and liquidity conditions. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses included in Shareholders’ equity as AOCI, unless credit related. Net unrealized gains and losses are determined by taking the difference between the fair value of a security and its amortized cost, net of any allowance. Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost less any allowance. Investment securities at December 31, 2020 included $0.2 billion of net unsettled purchases which represent non-cash investing activity, and accordingly, are not reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The comparable amount for December 31, 2019 was $0.5 billion.

Table 42 presents the gross unrealized losses and fair value of securities available for sale that do not have an associated allowance for investment securities as of December 31, 2020. These securities are segregated between investments that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and twelve months or more, based on the point in time that the fair value declined below the amortized cost basis. All securities included in the table have been evaluated to determine if a credit loss exists. As part of that assessment, as of December 31, 2020, we concluded that we do not intend to sell and believe we will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis.
