Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments

Business Segments

Washington Trust segregates financial information in assessing its results among its Commercial Banking and Wealth Management Services operating segments.  The Corporate unit includes activity not allocated to the operating segments.

Management uses certain methodologies to allocate income and expenses to the business lines.  The methodologies are periodically reviewed and revised. Results may be restated, when necessary, to reflect changes in organizational structure or allocation methodology. A funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) methodology is used to assign interest income and interest expense to each interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability on a matched maturity funding basis.  The matched maturity funding concept considers the origination date and the earlier of the maturity date or the repricing date of a financial instrument to assign an FTP rate for loans and deposits originated. Loans are assigned a FTP rate for funds used and deposits are assigned a FTP rate for funds provided. Certain indirect expenses are allocated to segments.  These include indirect expenses such as technology, operations and other support functions.

Commercial Banking

The Commercial Banking operating segment includes commercial, residential and consumer lending activities; mortgage banking activities; deposit generation; cash management activities; and direct banking activities, which include the operation of ATMs, telephone banking, internet banking and mobile banking services and customer support and sales.

Wealth Management Services

The Wealth Management Services operating segment includes investment management; holistic financial planning services; personal trust and estate services, including services as trustee, personal representative, custodian and guardian; settlement of decedents’ estates; and institutional trust services, including custody and fiduciary services.

Corporate

Corporate includes the Treasury Unit, which is responsible for managing the wholesale investment portfolio and wholesale funding needs.  It also includes income from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”), as well as administrative and executive expenses not allocated to the operating segments and the residual impact of methodology allocations such as FTP offsets.

The following table presents the statement of operations and total assets for Washington Trust’s reportable segments:
