Investments in mortgage-backed securities represent securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. U.S. Treasury investments represents T-bills and Notes issued by the U.S. Treasury. Investments in government agency securities represent securities issued by the Small Business Association (“SBA”), Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and other agencies. Investments in supranational securities represent securities issued by the Supranational Entities and Multilateral Development Banks. Investments in corporate bonds represent positions in debt securities of other financial institutions. Investments in marketable equity securities represent positions in common stock of publicly traded financial institutions. Other held to maturity investments include certificates of deposit with other financial institutions.

BancShares also holds approximately 354,000 shares of Class B common stock of Visa, Inc. (“Visa”). Until the resolution of certain litigation, at which time the Visa Class B common stock will convert to publicly traded Visa Class A common stock, these shares are only transferable to other stockholders of Visa Class B common stock. As a result, there is limited transfer activity in private transactions between buyers and sellers. Given this limited trading activity and the continuing uncertainty regarding the likelihood, ultimate timing and eventual exchange rate for shares of Visa Class B common stock into shares of Visa Class A common stock, these shares are not considered to have a readily determinable fair value and have no carrying value. BancShares continues to monitor the trading activity in Visa Class B common stock and the status of the resolution of certain litigation matters at Visa that would trigger the conversion of the Visa Class B common stock into Visa Class A common stock.

Accrued interest receivables for available for sale and held to maturity debt securities were excluded from the estimate for credit losses. At March 31, 2023, accrued interest receivables for available for sale and held to maturity debt securities were $30 million and $17 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022, accrued interest receivables for available for sale and held to maturity debt securities were $33 million and $19 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no accrued interest that was deemed uncollectible and written off against interest income.

The following table provides the amortized cost and fair value by contractual maturity. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities on certain securities because borrowers and issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties. Residential and commercial mortgage-backed and government agency securities are stated separately as they are not due at a single maturity date.

(1) Balances as of March 31, 2023 are presented net of the allowance for credit losses of $4 million.

As of March 31, 2023, there were 337 investment securities available for sale with continuous unrealized losses for more than 12 months, of which 315 were government sponsored enterprise-issued mortgage-backed securities, government agency securities, or U.S. treasury securities and the remaining 22 were corporate bonds. BancShares has the ability and intent to retain these securities for a period of time sufficient to recover all unrealized losses. Given the consistently strong credit rating of the U.S. Treasury, and the long history of no credit losses on debt securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, as of March 31, 2023, no ACL was required. For corporate bonds, we analyzed the changes in interest rates relative to when the investment securities were purchased and considered other factors including changes in credit ratings, delinquencies, and other macroeconomic factors. As a result of this analysis, we determined that one corporate bond had a credit-related loss of $4 million as of March 31, 2023, which is reflected in the provision for credit losses as further discussed in Note 5 — Allowance for Credit Losses.

BancShares’ portfolio of held to maturity debt securities consists of mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, U.S. Treasury notes, unsecured bonds issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, and securities issued by the Supranational Entities and Multilateral Development Banks. Given the consistently strong credit rating of the U.S. Treasury, the Supranational Entities and Multilateral Development Banks and the long history of no credit losses on debt securities issued by government agencies and government sponsored entities, as of March 31, 2023, no ACL was required for held to maturity debt securities.

Investment securities having an aggregate carrying value of $4.16 billion at March 31, 2023, and $4.20 billion at December 31, 2022, were pledged as collateral to secure public funds on deposit and certain short-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required by law.

A security is considered past due once it is 30 days contractually past due under the terms of the agreement. There were no securities past due as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

There were no debt securities held to maturity on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Certain investments held by BancShares were recorded in other assets. BancShares held FHLB stock of $393 million and $197 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively; these securities are recorded at cost. BancShares held $62 million and $58 million of nonmarketable securities without readily determinable fair values, which are measured at cost at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Investments in qualified affordable housing projects, all of which qualify for the proportional amortization method were $1.66 billion and $598 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
