Intangible Assets and Goodwill [Abstract]
Goodwill	*13. Goodwill* Goodwill was $2.2 billion and $2.6 billion at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and includes accumulated impairment losses of $54 million. In 2011, $398 million of goodwill has been allocated to the branch operations being sold to First Niagara and is classified within other branch assets held for sale. See Note 4, “Branch Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale,” for further discussion. As it relates to our discontinued operations, goodwill totaling $21 million was reclassified to the assets of our Asian Banknotes Operations in 2010. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” for further discussion. As a result of increased market volatility during the second half of 2011, we performed an interim impairment test of the goodwill associated with our Global Banking and Markets reporting unit as of December 31, 2011. As a result of this test, the fair value of the Global Banking and Markets reporting unit continued to exceed its carrying value, including goodwill. At December 31, 2011, goodwill totaling $612 million has been allocated to our Global Banking and Markets reporting unit. As of December 31, 2011 the book value including goodwill of our Global Banking and Markets reporting unit was 80 percent of fair value. Our goodwill impairment testing is however, highly sensitive to certain assumptions and estimates used as discussed above. We continue to perform periodic analyses of the risks and strategies of our business and product offerings. If significant deterioration in the economic and credit conditions occur, or changes in the strategy or performance of our business or product offerings occur, an interim impairment test will be required in 2012.
