Uninsured deposits, per regulatory requirements represent the portion of deposit accounts in U.S. offices that exceed the FDIC insurance limit as reported on Schedule RC-OM item 2 of the Bank’s Call Report. Management believes that presenting uninsured domestic deposits with an adjustment to exclude collateralized andaffiliate deposits provides a more accurate view of the deposits at risk, given that collateralized deposits are secured, and affiliate deposits are not customer-facing and are eliminated in consolidation.
The following table summarizes the Company’s uninsured domestic deposit balances reported on Schedule RC-OM item 2 of the Bank’s Call Report as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, after certain adjustments:
