Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure Derivatives
Park uses certain derivative instruments to meet the needs of its clients while managing the interest rate risk associated with certain transactions. Park does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. A summary of derivative instruments utilized by Park follows.

Interest Rate Swaps
Park utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position and as a means to meet the financing, interest rate and other risk management needs of qualifying commercial banking customers. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent the amount exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Borrowing Derivatives: Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $25.0 million as of December 31, 2019 were designated as cash flow hedges of certain FHLB advances. There were no interest rate swaps of FHLB advances as of December 31, 2018.

Loan Derivatives: In conjunction with the Carolina Alliance acquisition, Park acquired interest rate swaps related to certain commercial loans. These interest rate swaps were simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that Carolina Alliance executed with a third party, such that Carolina Alliance minimized its net interest rate risk exposure resulting from such transactions. These interest rate swaps had a notional amount totaling $35.5 million as of December 31, 2019. There were no interest rate swaps of commercial loans as of December 31, 2018.

All of the Company's interest rate swaps were determined to be fully effective during the year ended December 31, 2019. As such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets and other liabilities with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income. The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive loss would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedges no longer be considered effective. Park expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining respective terms of the swaps.

Summary information about Park's interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2019 follows:

Mortgage Banking Derivatives
Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. In order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans, the Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into. These mortgage banking derivatives are not designated in hedge relationships. The fair value of the interest rate lock is recorded at the time the commitment to fund the mortgage loan is executed and is adjusted for the expected exercise of the commitment before the loan is funded. Fair values of these mortgage banking derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest on the loan is locked. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are included in "Other service income" in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Park had $15.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of interest rate lock commitments. The fair value of these mortgage banking derivatives was reflected by a derivative asset of $221,000 and $87,000 at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Other Derivatives
In connection with the sale of Park’s Class B Visa shares during 2009, Park entered into a swap agreement with the purchaser of the shares. The swap agreement adjusts for dilution in the conversion ratio of Class B Visa shares resulting from certain Visa litigation. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of the swap liability of $226,000 was an estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses.
