INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF

Report of Selected Money
Market Rates
FR 2420

Introduction
The Report of Selected Money Market Rates
(FR 2420) is filed on a daily basis and collects data on
transactions in selected money market instruments
that were executed by banking institutions on the
report date. The report is comprised of four parts.
Part A collects data on federal funds purchased. Part B
collects data on Eurodollars. Part C collects data on
time deposits and certificates of deposit issued by
domestic offices. Part D collects data on selected
deposits.
Purpose
The FR 2420 is used to monitor market activity in
selected money market instruments. The data are also
aggregated to create rate or volume statistics for
publication.
Authority
The FR 2420 reports are authorized by law (12 U.S.C.
248(a), 12 U.S.C. 324, 12 U.S.C. 3105(c)(2), 12 U.S.C.
3106(a), 12 U.S.C. 1844(c)(1)(A)).
Confidentiality
The Federal Reserve Board regards the individual
reporting institution information provided by each
respondent as confidential (5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4)). The
Federal Reserve, however, publishes aggregate or summary information in a way that does not reveal an individual reporting institution’s confidential information.
If it should be determined subsequently that any individual information collected on this form must be
released, the reporting institution will be notified.

Note: Terms defined in the Glossary are hyperlinked throughout these
instructions.

General Instructions
Institutions Required to Report
The following banking institutions must file the
FR 2420 on a daily basis:
(1) U.S. Depository Institutions
U.S. depository institutions are required to
report the FR 2420 if they meet one of two
criteria:
(a) Asset-Size Criterion:
Every U.S. depository institution with total
assets of $18 billion or more as of the most
recent September 30 filing of the
FFIEC 31 or FFIEC 041 Report (Call
Report) is required to report the FR 2420.
(b) Activity Criterion:
Every U.S. depository institution with total
assets of $5 billion or more but less than
$18 billion as of the most recent filing of the
FFIEC 31 or FFIEC 041 Report (Call
Report) and federal funds purchased activity
(as described in Part A) totalling more than
$200 million on two or more days over the
preceding three months is required to report
the FR 2420.
(2) U.S. Branches and Agencies of a Foreign Bank
Every U.S. branch and agency of a foreign bank
with total third party assets of $2.5 billion or
more as of the most recent September 30 filing
of the FFIEC 002 report (Call Report) is
required to report on the FR 2420. Total third
party assets are calculated by taking the value
reported in the FFIEC 002 report in Schedule RAL, Item 3, Column A, and subtracting
GEN-1

FR 2420

October 2018

General Instructions

from it the value reported in the FFIEC 002
report in Schedule RAL, Item 2.a.
(3) International Banking Facilities
Each International Banking Facility (IBF) of a
U.S. depository institution or of a U.S. branch
or agency of a foreign bank that is required to
report the FR 2420 must report a separate
FR 2420 report for Part B (Eurodollars) only.
(4) Significant Banking Institution
The Federal Reserve may designate any banking
institution that is a participant in money markets and whose data are important to the analysis and monitoring of market activity as a “significant banking institution” even if it does not
meet the asset-size or activity criteria for
FR 2420 reporting. A significant banking institution will be expected to begin to report on the
FR 2420 within three months of its designation.

Changes in Reporting Status
Changes to a respondent’s reporting status based on
the asset-size criterion or activity criterion are governed as follows:

(2) Changes Based on the Activity Criterion
If a U.S. depository institution that does not
currently report on the FR 2420 meets the assetsize criterion of total assets of $5 billion or more
but less than $18 billion based on the most
recent filing of the Call Report, and has federal
funds purchased activity totalling more than
$200 million on two or more days over the preceding three months, the U.S. depository institution is required to begin to report on the
FR 2420 effective no later than three months
after meeting the activity threshold. U.S. depository institutions who meet the activity threshold
for the first time should contact the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York’s Data and Statistics
Function to discuss plans to begin reporting.
If a U.S. depository institution that reports on
the FR 2420 meets the asset-size threshold of
total assets of $5 billion or more but less than
$18 billion but subsequently falls below the
activity criterion, the U.S. depository institution
must continue to report until the activity criterion is not met for twelve consecutive months.
Requests for a change in reporting status based
on a U.S. depository institution’s federal funds
purchased activity falling below the activity
threshold should be made in writing and submitted to the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York’s Data and Statistics Function.

(1) Changes Based on the Asset-Size Criterion
If a U.S. depository institution or U.S. branch
or agency of a foreign bank that does not currently report on the FR 2420 meets the asset-size
reporting criterion based on the most recent
September filing of the Call Report, the U.S.
depository institution or U.S. branch or agency
of a foreign bank must begin to report on the
FR 2420 effective January 1 of the following
year.
If a U.S. depository institution or U.S. branch
or agency of a foreign bank that reports on the
FR 2420 subsequently falls below the asset-size
criterion based on the most recent September
filing of the Call Report, the U.S. depository
institution or U.S. branch or agency of a foreign
bank must continue to report on the
FR 2420 through the December 31 report date.

When to File FR 2420 Reports
Reporting institutions are required to file the
FR 2420 for each business day according to the following filing deadlines:

has a corresponding numerical value. The numerical
values and counterparty type descriptions are consistent across all Parts of the report.
Where to File Reports
Reports must be filed using the Federal Reserve
System’s Reporting Central application. The Federal
Reserve Bank of New York will provide technical assistance to any respondent requiring guidance on using
Reporting Central. The Reporting Central application
can be accessed at the following location: https://
www.federalreserve.org/reportingcentral/
DataEntryWeb/home.do.
Additional information on the Reporting Central
application can be found at the following link: https://
www.frbservices.org/central-bank/reporting-central/.

Preparation of FR 2420 Reports
Report Individual Transaction Level Data
Respondents must report the information specified on
the FR 2420 report for each individual transaction that
was executed on the report date as of the close of business for that report date. Please see the Glossary under
close of business for important additional information.
Respondents must consolidate into the FR 2420 report
the transaction data of their foreign or domestic offices
as specified in the Rules of Consolidation below. Each
transaction executed and settled on the report date and
each transaction for which the terms were agreed upon
on the report date that are scheduled to settle on a
future date must be reported individually with the
exact terms for that specific transaction.

Transaction Date and Forward Starting Transactions
Respondents must report all transactions in all Parts
of the FR 2420 on the trade date, regardless of when
the transactions settle; including forward starting
transactions.

Rules of Consolidation
(1) U.S. Depository Institutions:
For Part A, Part C, and Part D, a U.S. depository institution with foreign offices must include
in the U.S. depository institution’s
FR 2420 report individual transactions data for
all domestic branches and majority-owned
domestic subsidiaries whose data are included in
the institution’s FFIEC 031 according to the
FFIEC 031 Instructions for consolidation of
those domestic offices.
For Part A, Part C, and Part D, a U.S. depository institution with domestic offices only must
include in the U.S. depository institution’s
FR 2420 report individual transactions data for
all domestic branches and majority-owned
domestic subsidiaries whose data are included in
the institution’s FFIEC 041 according to the
FFIEC 041 Instructions for consolidation of
those domestic offices.

General Instructions

For Part B, a U.S. depository institution must
include in the U.S. depository institution’s FR
2420 report either:
• All Eurodollars for each significant branch or
office; or
• All Eurodollars for all foreign offices
(2) U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks:
For Part A, Part C, and Part D, U.S. branches
and agencies of a foreign bank must follow the
FFIEC 002 instructions for consolidation to
determine which activity to report. That is, each
designated branch or agency of a foreign bank
must file a separate FR 2420 report.
For Part B, U.S. branches and agencies of a foreign bank must report all Eurodollars for Cayman and Nassau branches. U.S. branches and
agencies of a foreign bank are to report either:
• All Eurodollars for each significant Cayman
and Nassau branch; or
• All Eurodollars for all Cayman and Nassau
branches
(3) All reporting institutions, including U.S.
Depository Institutions, U.S. Branches and
Agencies of Foreign Banks, International Banking Facilities, and Significant Banking Institutions, are not to consolidate:
(a) Affiliate transactions:
Transactions between the reporting institu-

tion and its affiliates are excluded from all
parts of the FR 2420.
(b) Intercompany transactions (transactions
with related parties):
All intercompany transactions are excluded
from all parts of the FR 2420.

Amended Reports
The Federal Reserve will require the filing of amended
reports if reports as previously submitted contain misstatements, omissions, or errors. In addition, a reporting institution should file an amended report when
misstatements or errors are found by the reporting
institution, for example, after the review of data or
through an audit. Please contact the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York’s Data and Statistics Function concerning amended reports. Respondents must submit
amended reports using the Federal Reserve System’s
Reporting Central application.
Federal Reserve Bank staff thoroughly review data
submitted on the FR 2420 report to ensure that the
data are accurate. As a result of that review, Federal
Reserve Bank staff may ask reporting institutions to
provide an explanation for certain transactions including the reason behind specific data reported, and, if
reported data are misstated or incorrect, Federal
Reserve Bank staff will ask the institution to submit
revisions. Since these data are extremely time sensitive,
reporting institutions should respond as quickly as
possible to these requests.

trades or continuing contracts
• Federal funds purchased from counterparty types
that are exempt entities

was executed and then again on each report date that
the transaction is rolled over with a change in any of
the terms, including the interest rate or dollar amount.
Alternatively, a reporting institution may opt to report
federal funds purchased under a continuing contract
on each report date instead of monitoring for changes
in terms if this option is more convenient for the institution’s operations or internal reporting framework.

Item Instructions
Dollar Amount
Report the dollar amount, denominated in millions of
U.S. dollars, of each federal funds purchase as of the
date the federal funds purchase was executed (i.e., the

Alternatively, a U.S. branch or agency of a foreign
bank may opt to report the Eurodollar activity of all
Cayman and Nassau branches each business day
instead of applying the significant branch or office test
every day if this method is more suited to the institution’s operations or internal reporting framework.

Time Deposits and Certificates of
Deposit
Respondents must report all time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars issued in amounts of $1 million or
more.
Include:
• Time deposits that were executed at arm’s length
• Time deposits that have an interest rate as part of the
terms (including those with an interest rate of zero or
a negative rate)

deposit executed by the institution’s U.S. offices.
Exclude:
• Market-linked CDs that use derivative transactions
as hedges
• Time deposits and CDs that are issued as collateral
for another transaction (e.g., a CD issued as collateral for a loan)

Reporting Instructions:
Matching Terms: Each transaction is to be reported
separately, even when all terms of the time deposits
issued match.
Brokered Deposits: Transactions such as brokered
deposits, where each deposit is placed by a third party

after the time deposit is executed, are to be reported as
one transaction.
Renewal of Existing Time Deposit: Report the renewal
of an existing time deposit on the day it becomes outstanding with its new terms.
Floating Rate Time Deposits: For floating rate time
deposits, report only on the date the time deposit is
executed, regardless of changes in the terms of the time
deposit before its maturity.
Open Time Deposits: Open time deposits are reported
on the report date the open time deposit was executed
and then again on each report date that the open time
deposit has a change in any of the terms, including the
interest rate or the dollar amount.
Alternatively, a reporting institution may opt to report
open time deposits on each report date instead of
monitoring for changes in terms if this option is more
convenient for the institution’s operations or internal
reporting framework.

Item Instructions
Dollar Amount
Report the dollar amount, denominated in millions of
U.S. dollars, of each time deposit as of the date the
time deposit is executed (i.e., the date the terms are

Brokered Deposit
Brokered deposits represent funds which the reporting
bank obtains, directly or indirectly, by or through any
deposit broker for deposit into one or more deposit
accounts. Brokered deposits include both those in
which the entire beneficial interest in a given bank
deposit account or instrument is held by a single
depositor and those in which the deposit broker sells
participations in a given bank deposit account or
instrument to one or more investors.
For purposes of the FR 2420, each individual brokered
deposit is reported as one transaction. Do not report
the reporting institution’s entire portfolio of brokered
deposits as one transaction.

Cayman and Nassau Branches
Branches located in the Cayman Islands or Nassau,
Bahamas that are managed and controlled by a U.S.
office of the reporting institution. Managed and controlled is defined as those branches for which the U.S.
branch or agency files an FFIEC 002S (as defined in
the FFIEC 002S instructions).

Close of Business
The time established by the reporting institution as the
cut-off time for receipt of work for posting transactions to its general ledger accounts for that day. The
time designated as the “close of business” should be
applied consistently over time.

therefore, the numerical value and counterparty type
description are consistent across all Parts of the report.

following conditions:
(a) Has an original maturity of one day
(overnight),
(b) Is in immediately available funds, and
(c) Is in connection with the clearance of securities transactions.

Fixed Interest Rate:
A CD or time deposit with a fixed interest rate has a
rate that is specified at the origination of the transaction, is fixed and invariable during the term, and is
known to both the borrower and the lender.
Also treated as having a fixed interest rate is a CD or
time deposit with a predetermined interest rate which is
a rate that changes during the term of the CD or time
deposit on a predetermined basis (i.e., there is a predetermined reset at which time the interest rate changes
to a predetermined rate which was set at origination).

time deposit is known with certainty to both the borrower and the lender at the origination of the CD or
time deposit.

Floating Interest Rate:

below, to non-U.S. residents of foreign countries, residents of Puerto Rico and U.S. territories and possessions, other IBFs, and U.S. and non-U.S. offices of the
establishing entity.

Foreign Office

Permissible IBF assets include extensions of credit to
the following:

A branch or consolidated subsidiary located in a foreign country (non-U.S.), or in Puerto Rico or a U.S.
territory or possession. Branches on U.S. military
facilities, wherever located, are treated as domestic
offices, not foreign offices.

Forward Starting Transaction
A forward starting transaction is a transaction that
does not settle until a future date.

Interest Rate
An interest rate reported on the FR 2420 should be
reported as a percent expressed out to five decimal
places with a leading 0 if the rate is less than one percent. A negative interest rate is to be preceded with a
minus (-) sign.
• Example 1: An interest rate of 2.53 percent would be
reported as 2.53000.
• Example 2: An interest rate of ½ percent would be
reported as 0.50000.
• Example 3: A negative interest rate of -1.0 percent
would be reported as -1.00000.

International Banking Facility (IBF)
An International Banking Facility (IBF) is a set of
asset and liability accounts, segregated on the books
and records of the establishing entity, which reflect
international transactions. An IBF is established in
accordance with the terms of Federal Reserve Regulation D (Section 204.8) and after appropriate notification to the Federal Reserve. The establishing entity may
be a U.S. depository institution, a U.S. office of an
Edge Act or Agreement corporation, or a U.S. branch
or agency of a foreign bank pursuant to Federal
Reserve Regulation D. An IBF is permitted to hold
only certain assets and liabilities. In general, IBF
accounts are limited, as specified in the paragraphs

• Non-U.S. residents (including foreign branches of
other U.S. banks)
• Other IBFs
• U.S. and non-U.S. offices of the establishing entity
Credit may be extended to non-U.S. nonbank residents
only if the funds are used in their operations outside
the United States. IBFs may extend credit in the form
of a loan, deposit, placement, advance, security, or
other similar asset.
Permissible IBF liabilities include (as specified in Federal Reserve Regulation D) liabilities to non-U.S. nonbank residents only if such liabilities have a minimum
maturity or notice period of at least two business days.
IBF liabilities also may include overnight liabilities to:
• Non-U.S. offices of other depository institutions and
of Edge Act or Agreement corporations
• Non-U.S. offices of foreign banks
• Foreign governments and official institutions
• Other IBFs
• The establishing entity
IBF liabilities may be issued in the form of deposits,
borrowings, placements, and other similar instruments.
However, IBFs are prohibited from issuing negotiable
certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, or other
negotiable or bearer instruments.

Negotiable and Non-negotiable Time Deposits
Negotiable Time Deposit:
A negotiable time deposit is a large time deposit, which
is defined as a time deposit with a minimum value of
$100,000 that can be purchased and sold. The holder
of the negotiable time deposit can sell it to a third
party. The negotiable time deposit cannot be redeemed
before it has reached full maturity (without penalty)
even if the deposit is sold.
GL-7

FR 2420

October 2018

Glossary

Non-negotiable Time Deposit:

Open Trade

A non-negotiable time deposit cannot be purchased
and sold.

A trade with no specific maturity date. An open trade
is a contract or agreement that remains in effect for
more than one business day, but has no specified maturity and does not require advance notice of either party
to terminate. Such contracts may also be known as
continuing contracts, open-ended agreements, or
rollovers.

Non-exempt entity
A non-exempt entity is drawn from Regulation D, Section 204.2 (a) (vii)(A). Note that this section of Regulation D defines which entities are designated as
exempt and when certain entities are designated as
exempt under specific conditions/transactions. All
other entities are non-exempt (i.e., those entities and
transactions that are not specifically cited in this section of Regulation D).
Examples of non-exempt entities are provided below;
however, the citations in Regulation D supersede this
list.
• A partnership or corporation, wherever located
• A securities dealer, wherever located, when a borrowing by a depository institution from the securities
dealer meets the following conditions:
(a) Has an original maturity that is longer than
one day, and
(b) Is not in connection with the clearance of
securities.
• State and local governments in the United States
and their political subdivisions

Report Date
The report date is the as-of date for reporting purposes. It is the date upon which the reportable transaction was executed (i.e., the date that terms are agreed
on and the contract confirmed); even if the funds are
made available to the reporting institution on a subsequent date (transaction scheduled to settle on a future
date). For example, a report date of January 20 would
reflect all transactions executed and settled on January 20, as well as all transactions that were executed on
January 20 and are scheduled to settle on January 21.

transaction is settled and monies from the transaction
are available to the reporting institution.

The trade date is the date on which the transaction was

upon and confirmed). The trade date should be the
same as the report date (“as-of ” date).
