Schedule RC-E – Deposit Liabilities
Memoranda
Item No.

Caption and Instructions
Does your institution offer one or more consumer deposit account products, i.e.,
transaction account or nontransaction savings account deposit products intended
primarily for individuals for personal, household, or family use? Indicate in the boxes
marked “Yes” and “No” whether your institution offers one or more transaction account or
nontransaction savings account deposit products intended, marketed, or presented to the
public primarily for consumer use, i.e., deposit products offered primarily to individuals for
personal, household, and family use. For purposes of this item, consumer deposit account
products exclude time deposits.
Your institution should answer “Yes” if it offers one or more transaction account or
nontransaction savings account deposit products intended primarily for consumer use even if
it also offers other transaction account or nontransaction savings account deposit products
intended for use by a broad range of depositors (which may include individuals) rather than
being intended, marketed, or presented to the public primarily for individuals for consumer
use and regardless of whether the products intended, marketed, or presented to the public
primarily for consumer use carry the same terms as other deposit products intended for use
by a broad range of depositors (which may include individuals).
Your institution should answer “No” if all of the transaction account and nontransaction
savings account deposit products it offers are intended for use by a broad range of depositors
(which may include individuals) or by non-consumer depositors and none of these products is
intended, marketed, or presented to the public primarily for individuals for personal,
household, or family use.
Transaction accounts include demand deposits, negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW)
accounts, automatic transfer service (ATS) accounts, and telephone and preauthorized
transfer accounts. Nontransaction savings accounts include money market deposit accounts
(MMDAs) and other savings deposits. For the definitions of these types of accounts, see the
Glossary entry for “deposits.”
Once a customer has opened a deposit account with the reporting institution that is a deposit
product intended primarily for individuals for personal, household, or family use, the institution
is not required thereafter to review the customer’s status or usage of the account to
determine whether the transaction account is being used for personal, household, or family
purposes. Thus, when reporting the amount of consumer deposit account balances in
Memorandum items 6 and 7 of Schedule RC-E, the reporting institution is not required to
identify those individual accounts within the population of a particular consumer deposit
account product that are not being used for personal, household, or family purposes and
remove the balances of these accounts from the total amount of deposit balances held in that
consumer deposit account product.

NOTE: Memorandum items 6 and 7 are to be completed by institutions with $1 billion or more in total
assets that answered “Yes” to Schedule RC-E, Memorandum item 5, above.

Components of total transaction account deposits of individuals, partnerships, and
corporations. Report in the appropriate subitem the specified component of total transaction
account deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations. The sum of Memorandum
items 6.a, 6.b, and 6.c must equal Schedule RC-E, item 1, column A, above.
If an institution offers one or more transaction account deposit products intended, marketed,
or presented to the public primarily for individuals for personal, household, or family use, but
has other transaction account deposit products intended for a broad range of depositors
(which may include individuals who would use the product for personal, household, or family
use), the institution should report the entire amount of these latter transaction account deposit
products in Memorandum item 6.c. For example, if an institution has a single negotiable
order of withdrawal (NOW) account deposit product that it offers to all depositors eligible to
hold such accounts, including individuals, sole proprietorships, certain nonprofit
organizations, and certain government units, the institution would report the entire amount of
its NOW accounts in Memorandum item 6.c. The institution should not identify the NOW
accounts held by individuals for personal, household, or family use and report the amount of
these accounts in Memorandum item 6.b, above.

6.a

Deposits in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts intended primarily for
individuals for personal, household, or family use. Report the amount of deposits
reported in Schedule RC-E, item 1, column A, held in noninterest-bearing transaction
accounts intended, marketed, or presented to the public primarily for individuals for personal,
household, or family use. Exclude certified and official checks as well as pooled funds and
commercial products with sub-account structures, such as escrow accounts, that are held for
individuals but not eligible for consumer transacting, saving, or investing.

6.b

Deposits in interest-bearing transaction accounts intended primarily for individuals for
personal, household, or family use. Report the amount of deposits reported in
Schedule RC-E, item 1, column A, held in interest-bearing transaction accounts intended,
marketed, or presented to the public primarily for individuals for personal, household, or
family use. Exclude pooled funds and commercial products with sub-account structures,
such as escrow accounts, that are held for individuals but not eligible for consumer
transacting, saving, or investing.

6.c

Deposits in all other transaction accounts of individuals, partnerships, and
corporations. Report the amount of all other transaction account deposits included in
Schedule RC-E, item 1, column A, that were not reported in Schedule RC-E, Memorandum
items 6.a and 6.b, above.

Components of total nontransaction savings account deposits of individuals,
partnerships, and corporations. Report in the appropriate subitem the specified
component of total nontransaction savings account deposits of individuals, partnerships, and
corporations. Exclude all time deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations
reported in Schedule RC-E, item 1, column C. The sum of Memorandum items 7.a.(1),
7.a.(2), 7.b,(1), and 7.b.(2) plus all time deposits of individuals, partnerships, and
corporations must equal Schedule RC-E, item 1, column C, above.

Caption and Instructions
Internet Web site addresses and physical office trade names. Because the Uniform
Resource Locators (URLs) of Internet Web sites and the physical office trade names reported
in items 8.a, 8.b, and 8.c are publicly available, each institution should ensure that it
accurately reports its URLs and physical office trade names, if any. URLs of Internet Web
sites and physical office trade names should not exceed 75 characters in length.
Examples of URLs are www.bank.com, www.isp.com/bank/, and bank.isp.com. When
entering the URL of an Internet Web site in items 8.a and 8.b, the URL should not be
prefaced with http:// because this is already included on the form. Do not provide e-mail
addresses in the spaces for URLs of Internet Web sites.

8.a

Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the reporting institution’s primary Internet Web site
(home page), if any. The URL of an institution’s primary Internet Web site is the URL of the
public-facing Web site that the institution’s customers or potential customers enter into Internet
browser software in order to find the first page of the institution’s principal Web site.
If the reporting institution has a primary Internet Web site or home page, report in this item the
URL of this Web site or home page (e.g., www.examplebank.com). If the reporting institution
does not have its own Web site or home page, but information on or functions of the institution
can be accessed through the URL of an affiliate’s Web site, the URL of that affiliate’s primary
Web site should be reported in this item.
An institution that maintains more than one Web site that prominently displays the institution’s
legal title should report in this item the URL of the Web site that best represents the institution.
In this situation, the institution should determine whether it should report the URLs of these
other Web sites in Schedule RC-M, item 8.b, below.
If an institution has no Web site or home page of its own and the institution cannot be
accessed through the URL of an affiliate’s Web site, this item should be left blank.

8.b

URLs of all other public-facing Internet Web sites that the reporting institution uses to
accept or solicit deposits from the public, if any. If the reporting institution directly or
indirectly operates one or more public-facing Internet Web sites besides its primary Internet
Web site, the institution should report the URLs of each of its other public-facing Web sites
that it uses to accept or solicit deposits from the public in the text fields for items 8.b.(1)
through 8.b.(10) and, if necessary, in Schedule RI-E, item 7, “Other explanations.” Do not
report the URLs of public-facing Internet Web sites operated by the reporting institution that
do not accept or solicit deposits from the public. In addition, do not report the URLs of
Internet Web sites of any non-bank affiliates or subsidiaries that do not accept or solicit
deposits from the public on behalf of the institution. Do not report the URLs of affiliated,
separately chartered insured depository institutions.
When reporting the URLs for public-facing Web sites used to accept or solicit deposits, report
only the highest level URLs. When an institution uses multiple top level domain names
(e.g., .com, .net, and .biz), it should separately report the URLs that are otherwise the same
except for the top level domain name.

8.b
(cont.)

For example, an institution with a legal title of XYZ Bank reports in Schedule RC-M that the
URL of its primary Internet Web site is www.xyzbank.com. The institution also solicits
deposits using the Web site address “www.safeandsoundbank.com” and provides more
specific deposit information at “www.safeandsoundbank.com/checking” and
“www.safeandsoundbank.com/CDs.” Only the first of these three URLs
(i.e., “www.safeandsoundbank.com”) should be reported in this item 8.b. XYZ Bank also
uses the Web site address “www.xyzbank.biz” in the solicitation of deposits and it should
report this URL in this item 8.b. Finally, XYZ Bank operates a Web site for which the URL is
“www.xyzautoloans.com.” This Web site does not accept or solicit deposits and its URL
should not be reported in this item 8.b.

8.c

Trade names other than the reporting institution’s legal title used to identify one or
more of the institution’s physical offices at which deposits are accepted or solicited
from the public, if any. An institution may use a trade name other than its legal title as
reflected in its charter to identify certain of its physical offices, for example, due to a merger
and an interest in maintaining the presence of the acquired institution’s well recognized name
in the community or communities it served.
If the reporting institution operates one or more physical offices to conduct banking activities
and uses one or more trade names other than its legal title to identify these physical offices
(for example, via signage displayed on the facilities), the institution should report each trade
name used by one or more of its physical offices at which it accepts or solicits deposits
from the public in the text fields for items 8.c.(1) through 8.c.(6) and, if necessary, in
Schedule RI-E, item 7, “Other explanations.” Do not report the trade names used by any
physical offices of the reporting institution at which the institution does not accept or solicit
deposits from the public. In addition, do not report the physical office trade names of any
non-bank affiliates or subsidiaries that do not accept or solicit deposits from the public on
behalf of the institution. Do not report the physical office trade names of affiliated, separately
chartered insured depository institutions.
For example, an institution with a legal title of XYZ Bank operates one or more branch offices
under the trade name of “Community Bank of ABC” (as identified by the signage displayed on
each facility) where it accepts and solicits deposits from the public. XYZ Bank should report
this trade name (and any other trade names it uses at other physical office locations where it
accepts or solicits deposits) in this item 8.c. XYZ Bank also has a loan production office that
operates under the trade name of “XYZ Consumer Loans” and a mortgage lending subsidiary
that operates physical offices using the trade name of “XYZ Mortgage Company”; deposits
are not accepted nor solicited on behalf of XYZ Bank at these physical offices. Thus, neither
of these two trade names should be reported in this item 8.c.

Remittance transfers offered to consumers.
When item 16 refers to “remittance transfers,” it refers to transfers that:
(1) Are “remittance transfers” as defined by Subpart B of Regulation E (12 CFR
§ 1005.30(e)), or
(2) Would qualify as “remittance transfers” under Subpart B of Regulation E (12 CFR
§ 1005.30(e)) but are excluded from that definition only because the provider is not
providing those transfers in the normal course of its business. See 12 CFR § 1005.30(f).
Subpart B of Regulation E took effect on October 28, 2013. For purposes of responding to
the questions in Schedule RC-M, items 16.a and 16.b, below, as they apply to periods in
2012 and 2013 prior to that date, institutions should apply the definitions and terms in
Subpart B of Regulation E as if they had nevertheless been in effect.
Under Subpart B of Regulation E, a ‘‘remittance transfer’’ is an electronic transfer of funds
requested by a sender to a designated recipient that is sent by a remittance transfer provider.
The term applies regardless of whether the sender holds an account with the remittance
transfer provider, and regardless of whether the transaction is also an “electronic fund
transfer,” as defined in Regulation E. See 12 CFR § 1005.30(e).
A “remittance transfer provider” is any person that provides remittance transfers for a
consumer in the normal course of its business, regardless of whether the consumer holds an
account with such person. See 12 CFR § 1005.30(f).
Examples of remittance transfers include the following (see Regulation E, Subpart B,
comment 30(e)-3.i):
(1) Transfers where the sender provides cash or another method of payment to a money
transmitter or financial institution and requests that funds be sent to a specified location
or account in a foreign country.
(2) Consumer wire transfers, where a financial institution executes a payment order upon a
sender’s request to wire money from the sender’s account to a designated recipient.
(3) An addition of funds to a prepaid card by a participant in a prepaid card program, such as
a prepaid card issuer or its agent, that is directly engaged with the sender to add these
funds, where the prepaid card is sent or was previously sent by a participant in the
prepaid card program to a person in a foreign country, even if a person located in a State
(including a sender) retains the ability to withdraw such funds.
(4) International automated clearing house (ACH) transactions sent by the sender’s financial
institution at the sender’s request.
(5) Online bill payments and other electronic transfers that a sender schedules in advance,
including preauthorized remittance transfers, made by the sender’s financial institution at
the sender’s request to a designated recipient.
Under Subpart B of Regulation E, the term “remittance transfer” does not include, for
example:
(1) Small value transactions, i.e., transfer amounts, as described in 12 CFR
§ 1005.31(b)(1)(i), of $15 or less. See 12 CFR § 1005.30(e)(2)(i).
(2) Securities and commodities transfers that are excluded from the definition of electronic
fund transfer under 12 CFR § 1005.3(c)(4). See 12 CFR § 1005.30(e)(2)(ii).

(3) A consumer’s provision of a debit, credit or prepaid card, directly to a foreign merchant as
payment for goods or services because the issuer is not directly engaged with the sender
to send an electronic transfer of funds to the foreign merchant when the issuer provides
payment to the merchant. See Regulation E, Subpart B, comment 30(e)-3.ii.A.
(4) A consumer’s deposit of funds to a checking or savings account located in a State,
because there has not been a transfer of funds to a designated recipient. See
Regulation E, Subpart B, comment 30(e)-3.ii.B.
(5) Online bill payments and other electronic transfers that senders can schedule in advance,
including preauthorized transfers, made through the Web site of a merchant located in a
foreign country and via direct provision of a checking account, credit card, debit card or
prepaid card number to the merchant, because the financial institution is not directly
engaged with the sender to send an electronic transfer of funds to the foreign merchant
when the institution provides payment to the merchant. See Regulation E, Subpart B,
comment 30(e)-3.ii.C.

NOTE: Items 16.a.(1)(a) through (d) are one-time items to be completed by all institutions only as of
March 31, 2014. Items 16.a.(2)(a) through (d) are to be completed by all institutions initially as of

NOTE: Item 16.b is to be completed by all institutions as of March 31, 2014. Item 16.b is to be
completed by all institutions annually thereafter in the June report only beginning June 30, 2014.
16.b

Did your institution provide more than 100 remittance transfers in the previous
calendar year or does your institution estimate that it will provide more than 100
remittance transfers in the current calendar year? Indicate your institution’s response to
this question in the boxes marked “Yes” and “No.” Mark “Yes” for this item if your institution
satisfies either of the criteria listed in the question. In other words, mark “Yes” if your
institution provided more than 100 remittance transfers in the previous calendar year
(regardless of how many transfers your institution estimates that it will provide in the current
calendar year). Also mark “Yes” if your institution estimates that it will provide more than 100
remittance transfers in the current calendar year (regardless of how many transfers your
institution provided in the previous calendar year).
Any estimates should be based on a reasonable and supportable estimation methodology. A
remittance transfer should be counted as the date of the transfer. Count only remittance
transfers for which your institution is the provider. Do not count or estimate remittance
transfers that your institution sent as an agent or a correspondent bank for another provider.

NOTE: Item 16.c is to be completed by institutions that answered “Yes” to item 16.b in the current report,
or, if item 16.b is not required to be completed in the current report, in the most recent prior report in

Indicate which of the mechanisms described in items 16.a.(2)(a), (b), and (c) above is
the mechanism that your institution estimates accounted for the largest number of
remittance transfers that your institution provided during [the specified period].
Consider whether your institution marked “Yes” in its responses to items 16.a.(2)(a), (b),
or (c). If you marked “Yes” in response to any of these subitems, estimate which of the three
listed mechanisms accounted for the greatest number of remittance transfers that your
institution provided during the appropriate specified period. For the March 2014 report, the
estimate should cover the period from October 28, 2013, to December 31, 2013. For reports
after the March 2014 report, the estimate should cover remittance transfers provided during
the two quarters ending on the report date.

The same definitions used in item 16.a.(2)(a), (b), and (c) apply to this item. Any estimation
methodology used should be reasonable and supportable. A remittance transfer should be
counted as of the date of the transfer.
If you estimate that international wire transfers accounted for the greatest number of
remittance transfers that your institution provided, enter “1.” If you estimate that international
ACH transactions accounted for the greatest number of remittance transfers that your
institution provided, enter “2.” If you estimate that proprietary services operated by your
institution accounted for the greatest number of remittance transfers that your institution
provided, enter “3.” If your institution did not provide any of the transfers described in items
16.a.(2)(a), (b), and (c), enter “0.”

NOTE: Item 16.d is to be completed by institutions that answered “Yes” to item 16.b in the current report,
or, if item 16.b is not required to be completed in the current report, in the most recent prior report in
which item 16.b was required to be completed. Item 16.d is to be completed initially as of March 31,
2014, and semiannually thereafter in the June and December reports beginning June 30, 2014 report.
16.d

Estimated number and dollar value of remittance transfers provided by your institution
during [the specified period]. Estimates should be based on a reasonable and supportable
methodology. Estimated figures should include only remittance transfers for which your
institution was the provider. Do not count transfers for which another entity was the provider
and your institution sent the transfer as a correspondent bank or agent for the other provider.
A remittance transfer should be counted as of the date of the transfer. For the March 2014
report, the estimate should cover the period from October 28, 2013 to December 31, 2013.
For reports after the March 2014 report, the estimate should cover remittance transfers
provided during the two quarters ending on the report date.

16.d.(1)

Estimated number of remittance transfers. Report the estimated number of remittance
transfers that your institution provided during the specified period.

16.d.(2)

Estimated dollar value of remittance transfers. Report the estimated dollar value of
remittance transfers that your institution provided during the specified period. The dollar
value is not required to be estimated in thousands of dollars. In other words, if an estimate is
in the millions of dollars, the institution may report zeros for the thousands of dollars.

16.d.(3)

Estimated number of remittance transfers for which your institution applied the
temporary exception. Report the estimated number of remittance transfers that your
institution provided during the specified period for which your institution applied the temporary
exception set forth in 12 CFR § 1005.32(a) under which insured institutions may provide
estimates for certain disclosures in some instances.

Components and Ratios. All institutions except advanced approaches institutions will complete
Schedule RC-R, Part I.A, in their Call Reports for March 31 through December 31, 2014.
No changes are being made to Part I.A for 2014.
o New Part I.B – Regulatory Capital Components and Ratios will be added to Schedule RC-R.
Advanced approaches institutions will complete Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, in their Call Reports for
March 31 through December 31, 2014.
o Existing items 34 through 62 and Memorandum items 1 and 2 of Schedule RC-R will be
designated Part II – Risk-Weighted Assets. All institutions will complete Schedule RC-R, Part II,
in their Call Reports for March 31 through December 31, 2014. No changes are being made to
Part II for 2014.

•

Effective March 31, 2015:
o Part I.A – Regulatory Capital Components and Ratios will be removed from Schedule RC-R.
o Part I.B – Regulatory Capital Components and Ratios will be designated Part I of Schedule RC-R
and will be completed by all institutions beginning with the Call Report for March 31, 2015.
o Part II – Risk-Weighted Assets of Schedule RC-R is to be replaced with a revised version of
Part II that would incorporate the provisions of the banking agencies’ revised regulatory capital
rules. This revised version of Part II is to be completed by all institutions beginning with the Call
Report for March 31, 2015. The proposed revisions to Part II will be the subject of a reporting
proposal from the banking agencies in 2014.

Part I.B – Regulatory Capital Components and Ratios
General Instructions for Part I.B
The instructions for Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, should be read in conjunction with the revised regulatory
1
capital rules issued by the reporting institution’s primary federal supervisor.
2

Advanced approaches institutions: Advanced approaches institutions must complete
Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, starting on March 31, 2014. These institutions may use the amounts reported
in Schedule RC-R, Part I.B to complete FFIEC 101, Schedule A, as applicable. As described in the
General Instructions for FFIEC 101, an institution must begin reporting on the FFIEC 101, Schedule A,
except for a few specific line items, at the end of the quarter after the quarter in which the institution
1

See 78 FR 62018, October 11, 2013 (Board and OCC); 78 FR 55340, September 10, 2013 (FDIC).

2

An advanced approaches institution as defined in the federal supervisor’s revised regulatory capital rules (i) has
consolidated total assets (excluding assets held by an insurance underwriting subsidiary) on its most recent year-end
regulatory report equal to $250 billion or more; (ii) has consolidated total on-balance sheet foreign exposure on its
most recent year-end regulatory report equal to $10 billion or more (excluding exposures held by an insurance
underwriting subsidiary), as calculated in accordance with FFIEC 009; (iii) is a subsidiary of a depository institution
that uses the advanced approaches pursuant to subpart E of 12 CFR part 3 (OCC), 12 CFR part 217 (Board), or
12 CFR part 325 (FDIC) to calculate its total risk-weighted assets; (iv) is a subsidiary of a bank holding company or
savings and loan holding company that uses the advanced approaches pursuant to 12 CFR part 217 to calculate its
total risk-weighted assets; or (v) elects to use the advanced approaches to calculate its total risk-weighted assets. As
described in section 121 of the revised regulatory capital rules, an institution must adopt a written implementation
plan no later than 6 months after the institution meets the criteria above and work with its primary federal supervisor
on implementing the parallel run process.

triggers one of the threshold criteria for applying the advanced approaches rule or elects to use the
3
advanced approaches rule (an opt-in institution), and it must begin reporting data on the remaining
schedules of the FFIEC 101 at the end of the first quarter in which it has begun its parallel run period.
Advanced approaches institutions must continue to file Schedule RC-R, Regulatory Capital, as well as the
FFIEC 101. Advanced approaches institutions should not complete Schedule RC-R, Part I.A, for report
dates in 2014.
An institution that is subject to the advanced approaches rule remains subject to the rule unless its
primary federal supervisor determines in writing that application of the rule is not appropriate in light of the
institution’s asset size, level of complexity, risk profile, or scope of operations.
Institutions not subject to advanced approaches rule: Starting on March 31, 2015, all other
4
institutions must complete Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, using the instructions below for items 1 through 48.
Institutions must complete the applicable items using the mandatory transition provisions which are
included in certain items. Institutions, except for advanced approaches institutions, must apply the
transition provisions starting with calendar year 2015. In general, transition provisions apply to the
minimum regulatory capital ratios; the capital conservation buffer; the regulatory capital adjustments and
deductions; and non-qualifying capital instruments. For example, transition provisions for the regulatory
capital adjustments and deductions specify that certain items that were deducted from tier 1 capital
previously will be deducted from common equity tier 1 capital under the revised regulatory capital rules,
with the amount of the deduction changing each calendar year until the transition period ends. For some
regulatory capital deductions and adjustments, the non-deducted portion of the item is either riskweighted for the remainder of the transition period or deducted from additional tier 1 capital, as described
in the instructions for the applicable items below.

Item Instructions for Part I.B
Item No. Caption and Instructions
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital
1

Common stock plus related surplus, net of treasury stock and unearned employee
stock ownership plan (ESOP) shares. Report the sum of Schedule RC, items 24 and 25,
less item 26.c, as follows:
(1) Common stock: Report the amount of common stock reported in Schedule RC, item 24,
provided it meets the criteria for common equity tier 1 capital based on the regulatory
capital rules of the institution’s primary federal supervisor. Include capital instruments
issued by mutual banking organizations that meet the criteria for common equity tier 1
capital.

3

An institution is deemed to have elected to use the advanced approaches rule on the date that its primary federal
supervisor receives from the institution a board-approved implementation plan pursuant to section 121(b)(2) of the
revised regulatory capital rules. After that date, in addition to being required to report on the FFIEC 101, Schedule A,
the institution may no longer apply the AOCI opt-out election in section 22(b)(2) of the revised regulatory capital rules
and it becomes subject to the supplementary leverage ratio in section 10(c)(4) of the rules and its associated
transition provisions.

4

Beginning with the March 31, 2015, reporting date, Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, will replace Schedule RC-R, Part I.A.

contributions, and any amount received for common stock in excess of its par or stated
value on or before the report date; exclude adjustments arising from treasury stock
transactions.
(3) LESS: Treasury stock, unearned ESOP shares, and any other contra-equity
components: Report the amount of contra-equity components reported in Schedule RC,

Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Report the amount of AOCI as
reported under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. that is included
in Schedule RC, item 26.b, subject to the transition provisions described in section (ii) in
item 3.a below, if applicable.

3.a

AOCI opt-out election.
(i) All institutions, except advanced approaches institutions
An institution that is not an advanced approaches institution may make a one-time election to
become subject to the AOCI-related adjustments in Schedule RC-R, items 9.a through 9.e.
That is, such an institution may opt-out of the requirement to include most components of
AOCI in common equity tier 1 capital (with the exception of accumulated net gains and losses
on cash flow hedges related to items that are not recognized at fair value on the balance
sheet). An institution that makes an AOCI opt-out election must enter “1” for “Yes” in
item 3.a. There are no transition provisions applicable to reporting Schedule RC-R, item 3, if
an institution makes an AOCI opt-out election.
An institution (except an advanced approaches institution) must make its AOCI opt-out
election on the institution’s March 31, 2015, Call Report. For an institution that comes into
existence after March 31, 2015, the AOCI opt-out election must be made on the institution’s
first Call Report. Each of the institution’s depository institution subsidiaries, if any, must elect
the same option as the institution. With prior notice to its primary federal supervisor, an
institution resulting from a merger, acquisition, or purchase transaction may make a new
AOCI opt-out election, as described in section 22(b)(2) of the revised regulatory capital rules.
(ii) Institutions that do not make an AOCI opt-out election and all advanced
approaches institutions:
An institution that does not make an AOCI opt-out election and enters “0” for “No” in item 3.a
and all advanced approaches institutions are subject to the AOCI-related adjustment in
Schedule RC-R, item 9.f. In addition, beginning January 1, 2014, for advanced approaches
institutions and January 1, 2015, for all other institutions that report “No” in item 3.a and
through December 31, 2017, these institutions must report Schedule RC-R, item 3, subject to
the following transition provisions:

Transition provisions: Report AOCI adjusted for the transition AOCI adjustment amount in
Schedule RC-R, item 3, as described below. AOCI components must be reported net of
deferred tax effects, as reported under GAAP:
(i) Determine the aggregate amount of the following items:
(1) Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities that are preferred stock classified as
an equity security under GAAP or available-for-sale equity exposures, plus
(2) Net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities that are not preferred
stock classified as an equity security under GAAP or available-for-sale equity
exposures, plus
(3) Any amounts recorded in AOCI attributed to defined benefit postretirement plans
resulting from the initial and subsequent application of the relevant GAAP standards
that pertain to such plans (excluding, at the reporting institution’s option, the portion
relating to pension assets deducted in Schedule RC-R, item 10.b.(2)), plus
(4) Accumulated net gains (losses) on cash flow hedges related to items that are
reported on the balance sheet at fair value included in AOCI, plus
(5) Net unrealized gains (losses) on held-to-maturity securities that are included in AOCI.
(ii) Multiply the amount calculated in step (i) by the appropriate percentage in Table 1 below.
This amount is the calendar-year transition AOCI adjustment amount.
(iii) Report in Schedule RC-R, item 3, the amount of AOCI reported in Schedule RC,
item 26.b, minus the calendar-year transition AOCI adjustment amount calculated in
step (ii).

Common equity tier 1 minority interest includable in common equity tier 1 capital.
Report the aggregate amount of common equity tier 1 minority interest, calculated as
described below and in section 21 of the revised regulatory capital rules. Common equity
tier 1 minority interest is the portion of common equity tier 1 capital in a reporting institution’s
subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent institution. Note that a bank
may only include common equity tier 1 minority interest if: (a) the subsidiary is a depository
institution or a foreign bank; and (b) the capital instruments issued by the subsidiary meet all
of the criteria for common equity tier 1 capital (qualifying common equity tier 1 capital
instruments). In general, the minority interest limitation applies only if a subsidiary has a
surplus common equity tier 1 capital (that is, in excess of the subsidiary’s minimum capital
requirements and the applicable capital conservation buffer).
Example and a worksheet calculation: For each consolidated subsidiary that is a
depository institution or a foreign bank, calculate common equity tier 1 minority interest
includable at the reporting institution’s level as follows:

Risk-weighted assets of the consolidated subsidiary are the same as the risk-weighted
assets of the institution that relate to the subsidiary ($1,000);
The subsidiary’s common equity tier 1 capital is $80;
The subsidiary’s common equity tier 1 minority interest (that is, owned by minority
shareholders) is $24.
Determine the risk-weighted assets of the subsidiary using the risk-based
capital framework applicable to that subsidiary.
Determine the risk-weighted assets of the institution that relate to the
subsidiary depository institution. Note that the amount in this step (2)
may differ from the amount in step (1) due to intercompany transactions
and eliminations in consolidation.

Determine the lower of (1) or (2), and multiply that amount by 7.0%.
Determine the dollar amount of the subsidiary’s common equity tier 1
capital (assumed $80 in this example). If this amount is less than step
(3), include this amount in Schedule RC-R, item 4. Otherwise, continue
to step (5).
Subtract the amount in step (3) from the amount in step (4). This is the
“surplus common equity tier 1 capital of the subsidiary.”
Determine the percent of the subsidiary’s common equity tier 1 capital
owned by third parties (the minority shareholders).
Multiply the percentage from step (6) by the dollar amount in step (5).
This is the “surplus common equity tier 1 minority interest of the
subsidiary,” subject to the transition provisions below.
Subtract the amount in step (7) from the subsidiary’s common equity tier
1 minority interest.
This is the “common equity tier 1 minority interest includable at the
reporting institution’s level” to be included in Schedule RC-R, item 4, for
this subsidiary.

Transition provisions for surplus minority interest or non-qualifying minority interest:
a. Surplus minority interest:
An institution may include in common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital, or total capital the
percentage of the common equity tier 1 minority interest, tier 1 minority interest and total
capital minority interest outstanding as of January 1, 2014, that exceeds any common equity
tier 1 minority interest, tier 1 minority interest or total capital minority interest includable under
section 21 of the revised regulatory capital rules (surplus minority interest) as follows:
(i) Determine the amounts of outstanding surplus minority interest (for the case of common
equity tier 1, tier 1, and total capital).
5

The percentage multiplier in step (3) is the capital ratio necessary for the depository institution to avoid restrictions
on distributions and discretionary bonus payments. Advanced approaches institutions must adjust this percentage to
account for all the applicable buffers.

(ii) Multiply the amounts in (i) it by the appropriate percentage in Table 2 below.
(iii) Include the amounts in (ii) in the corresponding line items (that is, Schedule RC-R,
item 4, item 22, or item 29).
In the worksheet calculation above, the transition provisions for surplus minority interest
would apply at step (7). Specifically, if the institution has $3 of surplus common equity tier 1
minority interest of the subsidiary as of January 1, 2014, it may include $2.40 (that is, $3
multiplied by 80%) in Schedule RC-R, item 4, during calendar year 2014; $1.80 during
calendar year 2015; $1.20 during calendar year 2016; $0.60 during calendar year 2017; and
$0 starting on January 1, 2018.
b. Non-qualifying minority interest:
An institution may include in tier 1 capital or total capital the percentage of the tier 1 minority
interest and total capital minority interest outstanding as of January 1, 2014, that does not
meet the criteria for additional tier 1 or tier 2 capital instruments in section 20 of the revised
regulatory capital rules (non-qualifying minority interest). The institution must phase-out nonqualifying minority interest in accordance with Table 2, using the following steps for each
subsidiary:
(i) Determine the amounts of the outstanding non-qualifying minority interest (in the form of
additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital).
(ii) Multiply the amounts in (i) by the appropriate percentage in Table 2 below.
(iii) Include the amounts in (ii) in the corresponding item (that is, Schedule RC-R, item 22 or
item 29).
For example, if an institution has $10 of non-qualifying minority interest that previously
qualified as tier 1 capital, it may include $8 (that is, $10 multiplied by 80%) during calendar
year 2014, $6 during calendar year 2015, $4 during calendar year 2016, $2 during calendar
year 2017, and $0 starting in January 1, 2018.

Note 2: As described in section 22(e) of the revised regulatory capital rules, netting of
deferred tax liabilities (DTLs) against assets that are subject to deduction is permitted if the
following conditions are met:
(i) The DTL is associated with the asset;
(ii) The DTL would be extinguished if the associated asset becomes impaired or is
derecognized under GAAP; and
(iii) A DTL can only be netted against a single asset.
The amount of deferred tax assets (DTAs) that arise from net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards, net of any related valuation allowances, and of DTAs arising from temporary
differences that the institution could not realize through net operating loss carrybacks, net of
any related valuation allowances, may be offset by DTLs (that have not been netted against
assets subject to deduction) subject to the following conditions:
(i) Only the DTAs and DTLs that relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority and
that are eligible for offsetting by that authority may be offset for purposes of this
deduction.
(ii) The amount of DTLs that the institution nets against DTAs that arise from net operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards, net of any related valuation allowances, and against
DTAs arising from temporary differences that the institution could not realize through net
operating loss carrybacks, net of any related valuation allowances, must be allocated in
proportion to the amount of DTAs that arise from net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards (net of any related valuation allowances, but before any offsetting of DTLs)
and of DTAs arising from temporary differences that the institution could not realize
through net operating loss carrybacks (net of any related valuation allowances, but before
any offsetting of DTLs), respectively.
An institution may offset DTLs embedded in the carrying value of a leveraged lease portfolio
acquired in a business combination that are not recognized under GAAP against DTAs that
are subject to section 22(a) of the revised regulatory capital rules in accordance with
section 22(e).
An institution must net DTLs against assets subject to deduction in a consistent manner from
reporting period to reporting period. An institution may change its DTL netting preference
only after obtaining the prior written approval of the primary federal supervisor.
In addition, note that even though certain deductions may be net of associated DTLs, the
risk-weighted portion of those items may not be reduced by the associated DTLs.

6

LESS: Goodwill net of associated deferred tax liabilities (DTLs). Report the amount of
goodwill included in Schedule RC, item 10.a.
However, if the institution has a DTL that is specifically related to goodwill acquired in a
taxable purchase business combination that it chooses to net against the goodwill, the
amount of disallowed goodwill to be reported in this item should be reduced by the amount of
the associated DTL.
If an institution has significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial
institutions in the form of common stock, the institution should report in this item goodwill
18

(cont.)

embedded in the valuation of a significant investment in the capital of an unconsolidated
financial institution in the form of common stock (embedded goodwill). Such deduction of
embedded goodwill would apply to investments accounted for under the equity method.
Under GAAP, if there is a difference between the initial cost basis of the investment and the
amount of underlying equity in the net assets of the investee, the resulting difference should
be accounted for as if the investee were a consolidated subsidiary (which may include
imputed goodwill).
There are no transition provisions for this item.

7

LESS: Intangible assets (other than goodwill and mortgage servicing assets (MSAs)),
net of associated DTLs. Report all intangible assets (other than goodwill and MSAs) net of
associated DTLs, included in Schedule RC-M, items 2.b and 2.c, that do not qualify for
inclusion in common equity tier 1 capital based on the regulatory capital rules of the
institution’s primary federal supervisor. Generally, all purchased credit card relationships
(PCCRs) and non-mortgage servicing assets, reported in Schedule RC-M, item 2.b, and all
other identifiable intangibles, reported in Schedule RC-M, item 2.c, do not qualify for inclusion
in common equity tier 1 capital and should be included in this item.
Further, if the institution has a DTL that is specifically related to an intangible asset (other
than servicing assets and PCCRs) acquired in a nontaxable purchase business combination
that it chooses to net against the intangible asset for regulatory capital purposes, the amount
of disallowed intangibles to be reported in this item should be reduced by the amount of the
associated DTL. However, a DTL that the institution chooses to net against the related
intangible reported in this item may not also be netted against DTAs when the institution
determines the amount of DTAs that are dependent upon future taxable income and
calculates the maximum allowable amount of such DTAs for regulatory capital purposes.
For state member banks, if the amount reported for other identifiable intangible assets in
Schedule RC-M, item 2.c, includes intangible assets that were recorded on the reporting
bank's balance sheet on or before February 19, 1992, the remaining book value as of the
report date of these intangible assets may be excluded from this item.
Transition provisions:
(i) Calculate the amount as described in the instructions for this item 7.
(ii) Multiply the amount in (i) by the appropriate percentage in accordance with Table 3
below. Report the product in this item 7.
(iii) Subtract (ii) from (i), without regard to any associated DTLs, to calculate the balance
amount that must be risk weighted during the transition period.
(iv) Multiply the amount in (iii) by 100 percent and report the risk-weighted assets as part of
“All other assets” in Schedule RC-R, Part II.

If an institution already deducts its investment in its own shares (for example, treasury
stock) from its common equity tier 1 capital elements, it does not need to make such
deduction twice.
An institution may deduct gross long positions net of short positions in the same
underlying instrument only if the short positions involve no counterparty credit risk and all
other criteria in section 22(h) of the revised regulatory capital rules are met.

(cont.)

The institution must look through any holdings of index securities to deduct investments
in its own capital instruments. In addition:
(i) Gross long positions in investments in an institution’s own regulatory capital
instruments resulting from holdings of index securities may be netted against short
positions in the same underlying index;
(ii) Short positions in index securities to hedge long cash or synthetic positions may be
decomposed to recognize the hedge; and
(iii) The portion of the index composed of the same underlying exposure that is being
hedged may be used to offset the long position only if both the exposure being
hedged and the short position in the index are covered positions under the market
risk rule, and the hedge is deemed effective by the institution’s internal control
processes.
Transition provisions: Follow the transition provisions in Schedule RC-R, item 11.
(4) Reciprocal cross-holdings in the capital of financial institutions in the form of
common stock. Include investments in the capital of other financial institutions (in the
form of common stock) that the institution holds reciprocally (this is the corresponding
deduction approach). Such reciprocal crossholdings may result from a formal or informal

LESS: Non-significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial
institutions in the form of common stock that exceed the 10 percent threshold for nonsignificant investments. An institution has a non-significant investment in the capital of an
unconsolidated financial institution if it owns 10 percent or less of the issued and outstanding
common shares of that institution.
Report the amount of non-significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial
institutions in the form of common stock that, in the aggregate, exceed the 10 percent

apply associated DTLs to this deduction.
Example and a worksheet calculation:
Assumptions:
• Assume that an institution has a total of $200 in non-significant investments in the
capital of unconsolidated financial institutions, of which $100 is in common shares.
For this example, all of the $100 in common shares is in the common stock of a
publicly traded financial institution.
• Assume the amount reported on Schedule RC-R, item 5 (common equity tier 1
capital before adjustments and deductions (sum of items 1 through 4), is $1,000.
• Assume the amounts reported on Schedule RC-R, items 6 through 9.f, are all $0.

capital).
Determine the amount of non-significant investments in the
capital of unconsolidated financial institutions in the form of
common stock.
Subtract from Schedule RC-R, item 5, the amounts in
Schedule RC-R, items 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
Multiply the amount in step (3) by 10%. This is “the ten percent
threshold for non-significant investments.”
If (1) is greater than (4), subtract (4) from (1) and multiply the
result by the ratio of (2) divided by (1). Report this amount in
this Schedule RC-R, item 11.
If (1) is less than (4), enter zero in this item 11.

This subtotal will be used in Schedule RC-R, items 13 through 16, to calculate the amounts of
items subject to the 10 and 15 percent common equity tier 1 capital threshold deductions
(threshold items):
(i) Significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions in the form of
common stock, net of DTLs,
(ii) MSAs, net of associated DTLs; and
(iii) DTAs arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through net operating
loss carrybacks, net of related valuation allowances and net of DTLs.

LESS: Significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions in
the form of common stock, net of associated DTLs, that exceed the 10 percent
common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold. An institution has a significant
investment in the capital of an unconsolidated financial institution when it owns more than 10
percent of the issued and outstanding common shares of that institution.
Report the amount of significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial
institutions in the form of common stock, net of associated DTLs, that exceed the 10 percent
common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold, calculated as follows:
(1) Determine the amount of significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial
institutions in the form of common stock, net of associated DTLs.
(2) If the amount in (1) is greater than 10 percent of Schedule RC-R, item 12, report the
difference in this item 13.
(3) If the amount in (2) is less than 10 percent of Schedule RC-R, item 12, report zero.
If the institution included embedded goodwill in Schedule RC-R, item 6, to avoid double
counting, the institution may net such embedded goodwill already deducted against the

(cont.)

exposure amount of the significant investment. For example, if an institution has deducted
$10 of goodwill embedded in a $100 significant investment in the capital of an unconsolidated
financial institution in the form of common stock, the institution would be allowed to net such
embedded goodwill against the exposure amount of such significant investment (that is, the
value of the investment would be $90 for purposes of the calculation of the amount that would
be subject to deduction).
Transition provisions for items subject to the threshold deductions:
(i) Calculate the amount as described in the instructions for this item 13.
(ii) Multiply the amount in (i) by the appropriate percent in Table 6 below. Report this
product as this item amount. In addition:
(iii) From January 1, 2014, until January 1, 2018: Subtract the amount in (ii) from the amount
in (i), without regard to any associated DTLs; assign it a 100 percent risk weight in
accordance with transition provisions in section 300 of the revised regulatory capital
rules. Report this amount in Schedule RC-R, Part II, Risk-weighted Assets, in the “All
other assets” item.
(iv) Starting on January 1, 2018: Apply a 250 percent risk-weight to the aggregate amount of
the items subject to the 10 and 15 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction
thresholds that are not deducted from common equity tier 1 capital, without regard to any

LESS: DTAs arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through net
operating loss carrybacks, net of related valuation allowances and net of DTLs, that
exceed the 10 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold.
(1) Determine the amount of DTAs arising from temporary differences that could not be
realized through net operating loss carrybacks net of any related valuation allowances
and net of associated DTLs (for example, DTAs resulting from the institution’s ALLL).
(2) If the amount in (1) is higher than 10 percent of Schedule RC-R, item 12, report the
difference in this item 15.
(3) If the amount in (1) is lower than 10 percent of Schedule RC-R, item 12, enter zero.
DTAs arising from temporary differences that could be realized through net operating loss
carrybacks are not subject to deduction, and instead must be assigned to a 100 percent riskweight category. For an institution that is a member of a consolidated group for tax purposes,
the amount of DTAs that could be realized through net operating loss carrybacks may not
exceed the amount that the institution could reasonably expect to have refunded by its parent
holding company.
Transition provisions: Follow the transition provisions in Schedule RC-R, item 13 (that is,
use table 6 in item 13).

LESS: Amount of significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial
institutions in the form of common stock, net of associated DTLs; MSAs, net of
associated DTLs; and DTAs arising from temporary differences that could not be
realized through net operating loss carrybacks, net of related valuation allowances and
net of DTLs; that exceeds the 15 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction
threshold.
The aggregate amount of the threshold items (that is, significant investments in the capital of
unconsolidated financial institutions in the form of common stock, net of associated DTLs;
MSAs, net of associated DTLs; and DTAs arising from temporary differences that could not
be realized through net operating loss carrybacks, net of related valuation allowances and net
of DTLs) may not exceed 15 percent of the institution’s common equity tier 1 capital, net of
applicable adjustments and deductions (the 15 percent common equity tier 1 capital
deduction threshold).
Transition provisions:
A. From January 1, 2014, until January 1, 2018, calculate this item 16 as follows:
(i) Calculate the aggregate amount of the threshold items before deductions:
a. Significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions in the
form of common stock net of associated DTLs (Schedule RC-R, item 13, step 1);
b. MSAs net of associated DTLs (Schedule RC-R, item 14, step 1); and
c. DTAs arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through net
operating loss carrybacks net of any related valuation allowance and net of DTLs
(Schedule RC-R, item 15, step 1).
(ii) Multiply the amount in Schedule RC-R, item 12 (Subtotal) by 15 percent. This is the
15 percent common equity deduction threshold for transition purposes.
(iii) Sum up the amounts reported in Schedule RC-R, items 13, 14, and 15.
(iv) Deduct (iii) from (i).

(v) Deduct (ii) from (iv).
(vi) Multiply the amount in (iv) by the percentage in Table 6, in Schedule RC-R, item 13.
Report the resulting amount in this item 16.
Example and a worksheet calculation:
Assume the following balance sheet amounts prior to deduction of these items:
• Common equity tier 1 capital subtotal amount reported in Schedule RC-R, item 12 =
$100
• Significant investments in the common shares of unconsolidated financial institutions
net of associated DTLs = $15.
• MSAs net of associated DTLs = $7
• DTAs arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through net
operating loss carrybacks net of any related valuation allowance and net of DTLs =
$6
• Amounts of each item that exceed the 10% limit:
 Significant investments in the common shares of unconsolidated financial
institutions net of associated DTLs = $5 (reported in Schedule RC-R, item 13)
 MSAs net of associated DTLs = $0 (reported in Schedule RC-R, item 14)
 DTAs arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through net
operating loss carrybacks net of any related valuation allowances and net of
DTLs = $0 (reported in Schedule RC-R, item 15).
Calculation steps:
(i) Sum of the significant investments in the common shares of unconsolidated financial
institutions, MSAs, and DTAs (all net of associated DTLs) before deductions: $15 +
$7 + $6 = $28
(ii) 15% of the amount from Schedule RC-R, item 12: 15% x $100 = $15
(iii) Sum of the amounts reported in Schedule RC-R, items 13, 14, and 15: $5
(iv) Deduct the amount in step (iii) from the amount in step (i): $28 - $5 = $23 (This is the
amount of these three items that remains after the 10% deductions are taken.)
(v) Deduct the amount in step (ii) from the amount in step (iv): $23 - $15 = $8 (This is an
additional deduction that must be taken).
(vi) Determine the amount of the deduction for the applicable calendar year: $8 x 40%
(amount that applies in calendar year 2015) = $3.20
Report $3.20 in this item 16.
B. Starting on January 1, 2018, calculate this item 16 as follows:
Example and a worksheet calculation:
Assumptions:
• The amount reported in Schedule RC-R, item 12 is $130. (This amount is common
equity tier 1 after all deductions and adjustments, except for deduction of the
threshold items).
• Assume that the associated DTLs are zero; also assume the following balance sheet
amounts prior to deduction of these items:
 Significant investments in the common shares of unconsolidated financial
institutions net of associated DTLs = $10.

The 15 percent common equity tier 1 capital deduction
threshold
Calculate as follows:
a. Subtract the amount calculated in step (1.d) of this
table from Schedule RC-R, item 12;
b. Multiply the resulting amount by 17.65%
Amount of threshold items that exceed the 15 percent
common equity tier 1 capital deduction threshold
Report as follows:
a. If the amount in step (4.d) is greater than the amount in
step (5), then subtract (5) from (4.d) and report this
number in Schedule RC-R, item 16. (In addition, the
institution must risk-weight the items that are not
deducted at 250 percent in the risk-weighted asset
section of this form.)
b. If the amount in step (4.d) is less than the amount in
step (5) amount, report zero in Schedule RC-R,
item 16.
Advanced approaches institutions only need to complete
this calculation: if the amount in step (6) is above zero,
then pro-rate the threshold items’ deductions as follows:
a. Significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated
financial institutions in the form of common stock:
multiply (6.a) by the ratio of (1.a) over (1.d).
b. MSAs net of associated DTAs: multiply (6.a) by the
ratio of (1.b) over (1.d).
c. DTAs arising from temporary differences that could not
be realized through net operating loss carrybacks:
multiply (6.a) by the ratio of (1.c) over (1.d).

($130 - $60) x

permanently). Also include additional tier 1 capital instruments issued as part of an ESOP,
provided that the repurchase of such instruments is required solely by virtue of ERISA for an
institution that is not publicly-traded.

Non-qualifying capital instruments subject to phase out from additional tier 1 capital.
Report the amount of non-qualifying capital instruments that may not be included in additional
tier 1 capital, as described in item 20, and that is subject to phase out from additional tier 1
capital.
Depository institutions may include in regulatory capital debt or equity instruments issued
prior to September 12, 2010, that do not meet the criteria for additional tier 1 or tier 2 capital
instruments in section 20 of the revised regulatory capital rules but that were included in tier 1
or tier 2 capital, respectively, as of September 12, 2010 (non-qualifying capital instruments
issued prior to September 12, 2010) up to the percentage of the outstanding principal amount
of such non-qualifying capital instruments as of January 1, 2014, in accordance with Table 7
below, starting on January 1, 2014, for the case of advanced approaches depository
institutions and on January 1, 2015, for non-advanced depository institutions.
The amount of non-qualifying capital instruments that is excluded from additional tier 1 capital
in accordance with Table 7 may be included in tier 2 capital (in Schedule RC-R, item 28)
without limitation, provided the instruments meet the criteria for tier 2 capital set forth in
section 20(d) of the revised regulatory capital rules.
Transition provisions for non-qualifying capital instruments includable in additional
tier 1 or tier 2 capital:
Table 7 applies separately to additional tier 1 and tier 2 non-qualifying capital instruments.
For example, an advanced approaches institution that has $100 in non-qualifying tier 1
instruments may include up to $80 in additional tier 1 capital in 2014, and $70 in 2015. If
that same institution has $100 in non-qualifying tier 2 instruments, it may include up to $80 in
tier 2 capital in 2014 and $70 in 2015.
If the institution is involved in a merger or acquisition, it should treat its non-qualifying capital
instruments following the requirements in section 300 of the revised regulatory capital rules.

Tier 1 minority interest not included in common equity tier 1 capital. Report the amount
of tier 1 minority interest not included in common equity tier 1 capital that is includable at the
consolidated level, as described below.
For each consolidated subsidiary, perform the calculations in steps (1) through (10) of the
worksheet below. Sum up the results from step 10 for each consolidated subsidiary and
report the aggregate number in this item 22.
For tier 1 minority interest, there is no requirement that the subsidiary be a depository
institution or a foreign bank. However, the instrument that gives rise to tier 1 minority interest
must meet all the criteria for either common equity tier 1 capital or additional tier 1 capital
instrument.
Example and a worksheet calculation: calculate tier 1 minority interest not included in
common equity tier 1 capital includable at the institution level as follows:
Assumptions:
• This is a continuation of the example used for common equity tier 1 minority interest from
Schedule RC, item 4. Assume that risk-weighted assets of the subsidiary are the same
as the risk-weighted assets of the institution that relate to the subsidiary: $1,000 in each
case.
• Subsidiary’s tier 1 capital: $110, which is composed of subsidiary’s common equity tier 1
capital $80 and additional tier 1 capital of $30.
• Subsidiary’s common equity tier 1 owned by minority shareholders: $24.
• Subsidiary’s additional tier 1 capital owned by minority shareholders: $15
• Other relevant numbers are taken from the example in Schedule RC-R, item 4.

Determine the risk-weighted assets of the subsidiary.
Determine the risk-weighted assets of the institution that relate to the

Multiply the lower of (1) or (2) by 8.5%.

(4)

Determine the dollar amount of tier 1 capital for the subsidiary. If this
amount is less than step (3), go directly to step (9). Otherwise continue
on to step (5).
Subtract the amount in step (3) from the amount in step (4). This is the
“surplus tier 1 capital of the subsidiary.”
Determine the percent of the subsidiary’s qualifying capital instruments
that are owned by third parties (the minority shareholders).

(5)
(6)

(7)

Multiply the percentage from step (6) by the dollar amount in step (5).
This is the “surplus tier 1 minority interest of the subsidiary.”
Determine the total amount of tier 1 minority interest of the subsidiary.
Then subtract the surplus tier 1 minority interest of the subsidiary (step
7) from this amount.

(8)

(9)

(10)

The “tier 1 minority interest includable at the reporting institution’s level”
is the amount from step (8) (or from step (4) when there is no surplus tier
1 minority interest of the subsidiary).
Subtract any minority interest that is included in common equity tier 1
capital (from Schedule RC-R, item 4). The result is the minority interest
included in additional tier 1 capital.

$1,000 x
8.5% = $85
$110

$110 - $85 =
$25
$24 + 15 =
$39. Then
$39/$110 =
35.45%
35.45% x $25
= $8.86
$24 + $15 =
$39. Then
$39 - $8.86 =
$30.14
$30.14

$30.14 - $21
(from
example in
item 4) =
$9.14.

Note: As indicated, this example built onto the example under the instructions for item 4,
where the subsidiary was a depository institution, and where its common equity tier 1 minority
interest was includable in common equity tier 1 capital. However, if this were a subsidiary
other than a depository institution, none of its minority interest arising from common equity
tier 1 would have been includable in common equity tier 1 capital. If the subsidiary in the
example were not a depository institution, the full calculated amount of minority interest
($30.14) would be includable in additional tier 1 capital of the reporting institution since none
of it would have been includable in common equity tier 1 capital.
Transition provisions: For surplus minority interest and non-qualifying minority interest that
can be included in additional tier 1 capital during the transition period, follow the transition
provisions instructions for Schedule RC-R, item 4 after taking into consideration (that is,
excluding) any amount of surplus common equity tier 1 minority interest (see step 7 of the
worksheet in item 4). In the example (and assuming no outstanding amounts of nonqualifying minority interest), the institution has $5.86 of surplus tier 1 minority interest

The percentage multiplier in step (3) is the capital ratio necessary for the subsidiary depository institution to avoid
restrictions on distributions and discretionary bonus payments. Advanced approaches institutions must adjust this
percentage to account for all applicable buffers.

step 7 of the worksheet in item 22) of surplus tier 1 minority interest minus $3.00 (see step 7
of the worksheet in item 4) of common equity tier 1 minority interest). In 2015, the institution
would include an additional $3.52 in item 22 (60% of $5.86) and starting in 2018 the
institution would not include any surplus minority interest in regulatory capital.

Additional tier 1 capital before deductions. Report the sum of Schedule RC-R, items 20,
21, and 22.

24

LESS: Additional tier 1 capital deductions. Report additional tier 1 capital deductions as
the sum of the following elements.
Note that if an institution does not have a sufficient amount of additional tier 1 capital to
reflect these deductions, then the institution must deduct the shortfall from common equity
tier 1 capital (Schedule RC-R, item 17).
(1) Investments in own additional tier 1 capital instruments. Report the institution’s
investments in (including any contractual obligation to purchase) its own additional tier 1
instruments, whether held directly or indirectly.
An institution may deduct gross long positions net of short positions in the same
underlying instrument only if the short positions involve no counterparty risk.
The institution must look through any holdings of index securities to deduct investments
in its own capital instruments. In addition:
(i) Gross long positions in investments in an institution’s own regulatory capital
instruments resulting from holdings of index securities may be netted against short
positions in the same index;
(ii) Short positions in index securities that are hedging long cash or synthetic positions
can be decomposed to recognize the hedge; and
(iii) The portion of the index that is composed of the same underlying exposure that is
being hedged may be used to offset the long position if both the exposure being
hedged and the short position in the index are covered positions under the market
risk capital rule, and the hedge is deemed effective by the institution’s internal control
processes.
Transition provisions: Follow the transition provisions in Schedule RC-R, item 11.
(2) Reciprocal cross-holdings in the capital of financial institutions. Include investments
in the additional tier 1 capital instruments of other financial institutions that the institution
holds reciprocally, where such reciprocal crossholdings result from a formal or informal
arrangement to swap, exchange, or otherwise intend to hold each other’s capital
instruments. If the institution does not have a sufficient amount of a specific component
of capital to effect the required deduction, the shortfall must be deducted from the next
higher (that is, more subordinated) component of regulatory capital.
For example, if an institution is required to deduct a certain amount from additional tier 1
capital and it does not have additional tier 1 capital, then the deduction should be from
common equity tier 1 capital in Schedule RC-R, item 17.

Transition provisions: Follow the transition provisions in Schedule RC-R, item 11.
(3) Non-significant investments in additional tier 1 capital of unconsolidated financial
institutions that exceed the 10 percent threshold for non-significant investments.
As noted in the instructions for RC-R, item 11 above, an institution has a non-significant
investment in the capital of an unconsolidated financial institution if it owns 10 percent or
less of the issued and outstanding common shares of that institution. Calculate this
amount as follows:
(1) Determine the aggregate amount of non-significant investments in the capital of
unconsolidated financial institutions in the form of common stock, additional tier 1,
and tier 2 capital.
(2) Determine the amount of non-significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated
financial institutions in the form of additional tier 1 capital.
(3) If the amount in (1) is greater than the ten percent threshold for non-significant
investments (Schedules RC-R, item 11, step (4)), then multiply the difference by the
ratio of (2) over (1). Report this product in this item 24.
(4) If the amount in (1) is less than the 10 percent threshold for non-significant
investments, report zero.
For example, assume an institution has a total of $200 in non-significant investments
(step 1), including $60 in the form of additional tier 1 capital (step 2), and its ten percent
threshold for non-significant investments is $100 (as calculated in step 4 of item 11).
Since the aggregate amount of non-significant investments exceeds the ten percent
threshold for non-significant investments by $100 ($200-$100), the institution would
multiply $100 by the ratio of 60/200 (step 3). Thus, the institution would need to deduct
$30 from its additional tier 1 capital.
Transition provisions: Follow the transition provisions in Schedule RC-R, item 11.
(4) Significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions not in
the form of common stock to be deducted from additional tier 1 capital. Report the
total amount of significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial
institutions in the form of additional tier 1 capital.
Transition provisions: Follow the transition provisions in Schedule RC-R, item 11.
(5) Other adjustments and deductions. Include adjustments and deductions applied to
additional tier 1 capital due to insufficient tier 2 capital to cover deductions (related to
reciprocal cross holdings, non-significant investments in the tier 2 capital of
unconsolidated financial institutions, and significant investments in the tier 2 capital of
unconsolidated financial institutions).
Also include adjustments and deductions related to the calculation of DTAs, gain-on-sale,
defined benefit pension fund assets, changes in fair value of liabilities due to changes in
own credit risk, and expected credit losses during the transition period described in
Schedule RC-R, item 8.
In addition, insured state banks with real estate subsidiaries whose continued operations

instruments that were included in tier 2 capital and outstanding as of January 1, 2014, and
that are subject to phase out.
Depository institutions may include in regulatory capital debt or equity instruments issued
prior to September 12, 2010, that do not meet the criteria for additional tier 1 or tier 2 capital
instruments in section 20 of the revised regulatory capital rules but that were included in tier 1
or tier 2 capital respectively as of September 12, 2010 (non-qualifying capital instruments
issued prior to September 12, 2010) up to the percentage of the outstanding principal amount

capital, as described below. For each consolidated subsidiary, perform the calculations in
steps (1) through (10) below. Sum up the results for each consolidated subsidiary and report

Determine the percent of the subsidiary’s total capital instruments that
are owned by third parties (the minority shareholders).

Multiply the percentage from step (6) by the dollar amount in step (5).
This is the “surplus total capital minority interest of the subsidiary”
Determine the total amount of total capital minority interest of the

the amount from step (8) or step (4) where there is no surplus total
capital minority interest of the subsidiary.
Subtract from (9) any minority interest that is included in common
equity tier 1 and additional tier 1 capital. The result is the total capital
minority interest not included in tier 1 capital includable in total capital.

Transition provisions: For surplus minority interest and non-qualifying minority interest that
can be included in tier 2 capital during the transition period, follow the transition provisions
instructions for Schedule RC-R, item 4 after taking into consideration (that is, excluding) any
amount of surplus tier 1 minority interest (see step 7 of the worksheet in item 22). In the
example (and assuming no outstanding amounts of non-qualifying minority interest), the
institution has $1.53 of surplus total capital minority interest available to be included during
the transition period in tier 2 capital ($10.39 (see step 7 of the worksheet in item 29) of
surplus total capital minority interest minus $8.86 (see step 7 of the worksheet in item 22) of
tier 1 minority interest). In 2015, the institution would include an additional $0.92 in item 29
(60% of $1.53) and starting in 2018 the institution would not include any surplus minority
interest in its regulatory capital.

Allowance for loan and lease losses includable in tier 2 capital. Report the portion of the
institution’s allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) that is includable in tier 2 capital.
None of the institution’s allocated transfer risk reserve, if any, is includable in tier 2 capital.
Advanced approaches institutions only: During the reporting periods in 2014, the amount
reported in this item cannot exceed 1.25 percent of the institution’s gross risk-weighted
assets as determined under sections 20(d) and 22 of the revised regulatory capital rules.
The starting point for this calculation is risk-weighted assets calculated under the general
risk-based capital rules reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 59, less market risk
equivalent assets reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II, item 58. The resulting amount must be
adjusted as follows:
(a) Add the amount of the following items reported in item 42, column B (All other assets) of
Schedule RC-R, Part II: any disallowed goodwill and other intangible assets reported;
disallowed servicing assets and purchased credit card relationships; disallowed deferred
tax; and the equity investments in unconsolidated banking and finance subsidiaries that
are reported in Schedule RC, item 8, and are deducted for risk-based capital purposes in
Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, item 10.b; and
(b) Subtract amounts deducted under section 22(a) of the revised regulatory capital rules
(Schedule RC-R, Part I.B, items 6 through 8, and the amounts reported in 10.b for aftertax gain-on-sale in connection with a securitization exposure; defined benefit pension
fund assets, net of associated DTLs; equity investments in financial subsidiaries, and, for
advanced approaches institutions only that exit parallel run, the amount of expected
credit loss that exceeds the institution’s eligible credit reserves). These subtractions must
be done in accordance with the applicable transition provisions of the revised regulatory
capital rules.
The allowance for loan and lease losses equals Schedule RC, item 4.c, “Allowance for loan
and lease losses,” less Schedule RI-B, part II, Memorandum item 1, “Allocated transfer risk
reserve included in Schedule RI-B, part II, item 7, above,” plus Schedule RC-G, item 3,
“Allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures.”
All institutions: Starting on January 1, 2015, the amount reported in this item cannot
exceed 1.25 percent of the institution’s risk-weighted assets base for the ALLL calculation
reported in Schedule RC-R, Part II. In calculating the risk-weighted assets base for this
purpose, an institution would not include items that are deducted from capital under
section 22(a). However, an institution would include risk-weighted asset amounts of items
deducted from capital under sections 22(c) through (f) of the revised regulatory capital rule, in

accordance with the applicable transition provisions. While amounts deducted from capital
under sections 22(c) through (f) are included in the risk-weighted asset base for the ALLL
calculation, such amounts are excluded from standardized total risk-weighted assets used in
the denominator of the risk-based capital ratios.
The allowance for loan and lease losses equals Schedule RC, item 4.c, “Allowance for loan
and lease losses,” less Schedule RI-B, part II, Memorandum item 1, “Allocated transfer risk
reserve included in Schedule RI-B, part II, item 7, above,” plus Schedule RC-G, item 3,

LESS: Tier 2 capital deductions. Report total tier 2 capital deductions as the sum of the
following elements.
If an institution does not have a sufficient amount of tier 2 capital to reflect these deductions,
then the institution must deduct the shortfall from additional tier 1 capital (Schedule RC-R,
item 24) or, if there is not enough additional tier 1 capital, from common equity tier 1 capital
(Schedule RC-R, item 17).
For example, if tier 2 capital is $98, and if the bank must make $110 in tier 2 deductions, it
would report $98 on line 33, and would take the additional $12 deduction in Schedule RC-R,
item 24 (and in Schedule RC-R, item 17, in the case of insufficient additional tier 1 capital to
make the deduction in Schedule RC-R, item 24).
In addition, advanced approaches institutions with insufficient tier 2 capital for deductions
will make the following adjustments: an advanced approaches institution will make
deductions on this schedule under the generally applicable rules that apply to all
institutions. It will use FFIEC 101 Schedule A, to calculate its capital requirements under the
advanced approaches. Therefore, in the case of an advanced approaches institution with
insufficient tier 2 capital to make tier 2 deductions, it will use the corresponding deduction
approach and the generally applicable rules to take excess tier 2 deductions from additional
tier 1 capital in Schedule RC-R, item 24, and if necessary from common equity tier 1 capital
in Schedule RC-R, item 17. It will use the advanced approaches rules to take deductions on
the FFIEC 101 form.

For example, assume tier 2 capital is $100 under the advanced approaches and $98 under
the generally applicable rules (due to the difference between the amount of eligible credit
reserves includable in tier 2 capital under the advanced approaches, and ALLL includable in
tier 2 capital under the standardized approach). If the required deduction from tier 2 capital is
$110, then the advanced approaches institution would add $10 to the required additional
tier 1 capital deductions (on FFIEC 101 Schedule A, item 42, and FFIEC 101 Schedule A,
item 27, if necessary), and would add $12 to its required additional tier 1 capital deductions
for the calculation of the standardized approach regulatory capital ratios in this schedule
(Schedule RC-R, item 24, and Schedule RC-R, item 17, if necessary).
(1) Investments in own additional tier 2 capital instruments. Report the institution’s
investments in (including any contractual obligation to purchase) its own tier 2
instruments, whether held directly or indirectly.
An institution may deduct gross long positions net of short positions in the same
underlying instrument only if the short positions involve no counterparty risk.
The institution must look through any holdings of index securities to deduct investments
in its own capital instruments. In addition:
(i) Gross long positions in investments in an institution’s own regulatory capital
instruments resulting from holdings of index securities may be netted against short
positions in the same index;
(ii) Short positions in index securities that are hedging long cash or synthetic positions
can be decomposed to recognize the hedge; and
(iii) The portion of the index that is composed of the same underlying exposure that is
being hedged may be used to offset the long position if both the exposure being
hedged and the short position in the index are covered positions under the market
risk capital rule, and the hedge is deemed effective by the institution’s internal control
processes.
Transition provisions: Follow the transition provisions in Schedule RC-R, item 11.
(2) Reciprocal cross-holdings in the capital of financial institutions. Include investments
in the tier 2 capital instruments of other financial institutions that the institution holds
reciprocally, where such reciprocal crossholdings result from a formal or informal
arrangement to swap, exchange, or otherwise intend to hold each other’s capital
instruments.
Transition provisions: Follow the transition provisions in Schedule RC-R, item 11.
(3) Non-significant investments in tier 2 capital of unconsolidated financial institutions
that exceed the 10 percent threshold for non-significant investments.
Calculate this amount as follows (similar to Schedule RC-R, item 11):
(1) Determine the aggregate amount of non-significant investments in the capital of
unconsolidated financial institutions in the form of common stock, additional tier 1,
and tier 2 capital.

41

(cont.)

(2) Determine the amount of non-significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated
financial institutions in the form of tier 2 capital.
(3) If (1) is greater than the ten percent threshold for non-significant investments
(Schedules RC-R, item 11, step (4)), then, multiply the difference by the ratio of (2)
over (1). Report this product in this item.
(4) If (1) is less than the ten percent threshold for non-significant investments, enter zero.
For example, assume an institution has a total of $200 in non-significant investments
(step 1), including $40 in the form of tier 2 capital (step 2), and its ten percent threshold
for non-significant investments is $100 (as calculated in Schedule RC-R, item 11, step 4).
Since the aggregate amount of non-significant investments exceed the ten percent
threshold for non-significant investments by $100 ($200-$100), the institution would
multiply $100 by the ratio of 40/200 (step 3). Thus, the institution would need to deduct
$20 from its tier 2 capital.
Transition provisions: Follow the transition provisions in Schedule RC-R, item 11.
(4) Significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions not in
the form of common stock to be deducted from tier 2 capital. Report the total
amount of significant investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions in
the form of tier 2 capital.
Transition provisions: Follow the transition provisions in Schedule RC-R, item 11.
(5) Other adjustments and deductions. Include any other applicable adjustments and
deductions applied to tier 2 capital in accordance with the revised regulatory capital rules
of the primary federal supervisor.

if applicable. If the amount is a net deduction, report it as a positive value in this item. If the
amount is a net addition, report it as a negative value in this item.
Institutions that do not make an AOCI opt-out election and all advanced approaches
institutions:
Available-for-sale debt securities and available-for-sale equity securities are reflected at
amortized cost and at the lower of cost or fair value, respectively, when calculating average
total consolidated assets for Schedule RC-K, item 9. Therefore, include in this item as
deductions from (additions to) assets for leverage ratio purposes the amounts needed to
adjust (i) the quarterly average for available-for-sale debt securities included in
Schedule RC-K, item 9, from an average based on amortized cost to an average based on
fair value, and (ii) the quarterly average for available-for-sale equity securities included in
Schedule RC-K, item 9, from an average based on the lower of cost or fair value to an
average based on fair value. If the deferred tax effects of any net unrealized gains (losses)
on available-for-sale debt securities were excluded from the determination of average total
consolidated assets for Schedule RC-K, item 9, also include in this item as a deduction from
(addition to) assets for leverage ratio purposes the quarterly average amount necessary to
reverse the effect of this exclusion on the quarterly average amount of net deferred tax
assets included in Schedule RC-K, item 9.
Transition provisions for institutions that do not make an AOCI opt-out election and all
advanced approaches institutions: Include in this item 38 the amount of deductions from
(additions to) assets for leverage ratio purposes for available-for-sale debt and equity
securities and deferred tax effects as determined above reduced by the appropriate
percentage in Table 1 in Schedule RC-R, item 3.a. For example, in 2015, if the amount of
these deductions (additions) is a $10,000 deduction, include $4,000 in this item 38 [$10,000 –
($10,000 x 60%) = $4,000].

Note: Advanced approaches institutions, including those that have not exited parallel run, will
need to consult the regulation for the transition period if the countercyclical buffer is in place
or if the institution is subject to countercyclical buffers in other jurisdictions. Starting on
January 1, 2016, any countercyclical buffer amount applicable to an advanced approaches

Service charges on deposit accounts (in domestic offices). Memorandum items 15.a
through 15.d are to be completed by institutions with $1 billion or more in total assets that
answered “Yes” to Schedule RC-E, (part I,) Memorandum item 5, “Does your institution offer
one or more consumer deposit account products, i.e., transaction account or nontransaction
savings account deposit products intended primarily for individuals for personal, household,
or family use?” Such institutions should report in the appropriate subitem service charges on
deposit accounts (in domestic offices) included in Schedule RI, item 5.b, “Service charges on
deposit accounts (in domestic offices).
Once a customer has opened a deposit account with the reporting institution that is a deposit
product intended primarily for individuals for personal, household, or family use, the institution
is not required thereafter to review the customer’s status or usage of the account to
determine whether the transaction account is being used for personal, household, or family
purposes. Thus, when reporting the amount of service charges on consumer deposit account
products in Schedule RI, Memorandum items 15.a through 15.c, below, the reporting
institution is not required to identify those individual accounts within the population of a
particular consumer deposit product that are not being used for personal, household, or
family purposes and remove any service charges levied against these accounts from the total
amounts of overdraft-related, periodic maintenance, and customer automated teller machine
(ATM) fees charged to customer accounts within that consumer deposit product.
The sum of Memorandum items 15.a through 15.d must equal Schedule RI, item 5.b.

15.a

Consumer overdraft-related service charges levied on those transaction account and
nontransaction savings account deposit products intended primarily for individuals
for personal, household, or family use. For deposit account products intended, marketed,
or presented to the public primarily for individuals for personal, household, or family use,
report the amount of service charges and fees related to the processing of payments and
debits against insufficient funds, including “nonsufficient funds (NSF) check charges,” that the
reporting institution assesses with respect to items that it either pays or returns unpaid, and
all subsequent charges levied against overdrawn accounts, such as extended or sustained
overdraft fees charged when accounts maintain a negative balance for a specified period of
time, but excluding those fees equivalent to interest and reported in Schedule RI, item 1,
“Interest and fee income on loans.”

15.b

Consumer account periodic maintenance charges levied on those transaction account
and nontransaction savings account deposit products intended primarily for
individuals for personal, household, or family use. For deposit account products
intended, marketed, or presented to the public primarily for individuals for personal,
household, or family use, report the amount of service charges for account holders’
maintenance of their deposit accounts with the reporting institution (often labeled “monthly
maintenance charges”), including charges resulting from the account owners’ failure to

maintain specified minimum deposit balances or meet other requirements (e.g., requirements
related to transacting and purchasing other services), as well as fees for transactional activity
in excess of specified limits for an account and recurring fees not subject to waiver.
Recurring fees not subject to waiver include fixed monthly or other periodic charges levied
against a consumer deposit account that the account owner cannot avoid under any
circumstances, including, for example, by maintaining other deposit or loan accounts with the
institution, maintaining a minimum deposit balance, or engaging in a specified level of
account activity (such as the number of debit card transactions) during a month or other
period.

15.c

Consumer customer automated teller machine (ATM) fees levied on those transaction
account and nontransaction savings account deposit products intended primarily for
individuals for personal, household, or family use. For deposit account products
maintained at the reporting institution and intended, marketed, or presented to the public
primarily for individuals for personal, household, or family use, report the amount of service
charges levied by the reporting institution for transactions, including deposits to or
withdrawals from deposit accounts, conducted through the use of ATMs or remote service
units (RSUs) owned, operated, or branded by the institution, other institutions, or other thirdparty, non-bank ATM operators.
Exclude service charges levied by the reporting institution against deposit accounts
maintained at other institutions for transactions conducted through the use of ATMs or RSUs
owned, operated, or branded by the reporting institution. Also exclude debit card interchange
fees. Such service charges and interchange fees should be reported in Schedule RI, item 5.l,
“Other noninterest income,” not in Schedule RI, item 5.b.

15.d

All other service charges on deposit accounts. Report all other service charges on
deposit accounts (in domestic offices) levied by the reporting institution and not reported in
Schedule RI, Memorandum items 15.a, 15.b, and 15.c. Include service charges and fees on
the reporting institution’s deposit account products intended for use by a broad range of
depositors (which may include individuals), rather than being intended, marketed, or
presented to the public primarily for individuals for personal, household, or family use. For
deposit account products intended for use by a broad range of depositors, the reporting
institution need not identify the fees charged to accounts held by individuals for personal,
household, or family use and need not report these fees in one of the three categories of
consumer deposit account fees above.
