In the normal course of business, we conduct transactions with HSBC and its subsidiaries. HSBC policy requires that these transactions occur at prevailing market rates and terms and, where applicable, these transactions are compliant with United States banking regulations. All extensions of credit by (and certain credit exposures of) HSBC Bank USA to other HSBC affiliates (other than Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured banks) are legally required to be secured by eligible collateral.

Funding Arrangements with HSBC Affiliates:
We use HSBC affiliates to fund a portion of our borrowing and liquidity needs. At both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, long-term debt with affiliates reflected $6.5 billion of borrowings from HSBC North America. The outstanding balances include $2.0 billion of fixed-rate senior debt which matures in June 2025, $2.0 billion of fixed-rate senior debt which matures in September 2025, $0.5 billion of fixed-rate senior debt which matures in December 2027, $0.5 billion of fixed-rate senior debt which matures in December 2028 and $1.5 billion of fixed-rate senior debt which matures in June 2030.
We have a $4.0 billion uncommitted line of credit with HSBC North America. The available borrowing capacity under this facility is fungible between HSBC USA, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. ("HSI") and HSBC North America, but total borrowings cannot collectively exceed $4.0 billion at any time. We had no outstanding borrowing under this credit facility at either March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
We also incur short-term borrowings with certain affiliates. In addition, certain affiliates have placed deposits with us.
Lending and Derivative Related Arrangements Extended to HSBC Affiliates:
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had the following loan balances outstanding with HSBC affiliates:

Total loans$3,442 $2,618 
HMUS and subsidiaries We have extended loans and lines of credit, some of them uncommitted, to HMUS and its subsidiaries in the amount of $13.3 billion at both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, of which $2.1 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, was outstanding. The maturities of the outstanding balances range from overnight to one month. Each borrowing is re-evaluated prior to its maturity date and either extended or allowed to mature.
HSBC North America Under the $4.0 billion uncommitted fungible line of credit with HSBC North America as discussed above, there was $1.3 billion outstanding at both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The outstanding balance includes $1.0 billion that matures in May 2024 and $300 million that matures in July 2024.
We have extended lines of credit to various other HSBC affiliates totaling $3.4 billion which did not have any outstanding balances at either March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023
Other short-term affiliate lending In addition to loans and lines extended to affiliates discussed above, from time to time we may extend loans to affiliates which are generally short term in nature. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were $2 million and nil, respectively, of these loans outstanding.
Derivative contracts As part of a global HSBC strategy to offset interest rate or other market risks associated with certain securities, debt issues and derivative contracts with unaffiliated third parties, we routinely enter into derivative transactions with HSBC Bank plc and other HSBC affiliates. The notional value of derivative contracts related to these transactions was approximately $717.9 billion and $719.6 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The net credit exposure (defined as the net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, including any collateral received) related to the contracts was approximately $67 million and $29 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We account for these transactions on a mark to market basis, with the change in value of contracts with HSBC affiliates substantially offset by the change in value of related contracts entered into with unaffiliated third parties.
