All of these loans are individually insured, and therefore the Corporation does not record an allowance for credit losses related to these loans.
Nonperforming Loans and Leases
Commercial nonperforming loans increased to $2.0 billion at September 30, 2023 from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2022, driven by the commercial real estate office property type.
Consumer nonperforming loans were $2.8 billion at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The following table presents the Corporation’s nonperforming loans and leases and loans accruing past due 90 days or more at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Nonperforming LHFS are excluded from nonperforming loans and leases as they are recorded at either fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. For more information on the criteria for classification as nonperforming, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(1)Residential mortgage loans accruing past due 90 days or more are fully-insured loans. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 residential mortgage included $180 million and $260 million of loans on which interest had been curtailed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), and therefore were no longer accruing interest, although principal was still insured, and $85 million and $108 million of loans on which interest was still accruing.
(2)Primarily relates to loans for which the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less any costs to sell is greater than the amortized cost of the loans as of the reporting date.
n/a = not applicableCredit Quality Indicators
The Corporation monitors credit quality within its Consumer Real Estate, Credit Card and Other Consumer, and Commercial portfolio segments based on primary credit quality indicators. For more information on the portfolio segments, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Within the Consumer Real Estate portfolio segment, the primary credit quality indicators are refreshed loan-to-value (LTV) and refreshed Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score. Refreshed LTV measures the carrying value of the loan as a percentage of the value of the property securing the loan, refreshed quarterly. Home equity loans are evaluated using combined loan-to-value (CLTV), which measures the carrying value of the Corporation’s loan and available line of credit combined with any outstanding senior liens against the property as a percentage of the value of the property securing the loan, refreshed quarterly. FICO score measures the creditworthiness of the borrower based on the financial obligations of the borrower and the borrower’s credit history. FICO scores are typically refreshed quarterly or more frequently. Certain borrowers (e.g., borrowers that have had debts discharged in a bankruptcy proceeding) may not have their FICO scores updated.
FICO scores are also a primary credit quality indicator for the Credit Card and Other Consumer portfolio segment and the business card portfolio within U.S. small business commercial. Within the Commercial portfolio segment, loans are evaluated using the internal classifications of pass rated or reservable criticized as the primary credit quality indicators. The term reservable criticized refers to those commercial loans that are internally classified or listed by the Corporation as Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful, which are asset quality categories defined by regulatory authorities. These assets have an elevated level of risk and may have a high probability of default or total loss. Pass rated refers to all loans not considered reservable criticized. In addition to these primary credit quality indicators, the Corporation uses other credit quality indicators for certain types of loans.
The following tables present certain credit quality indicators and gross charge-offs for the Corporation's Consumer Real Estate, Credit Card and Other Consumer, and Commercial portfolio segments by year of origination, except for revolving loans and revolving loans that were modified into term loans, which are shown on an aggregate basis at September 30, 2023.
(1)Includes reverse mortgages of $788 million and home equity loans of $366 million, which are no longer originated.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, commercial reservable criticized utilized exposure increased to $23.7 billion at September 30, 2023 from $19.3 billion (to 3.83 percent from 3.12 percent of total commercial reservable utilized exposure) at December 31, 2022, primarily driven by commercial real estate and U.S. Commercial.Loan Modifications to Borrowers in Financial Difficulty
As part of its credit risk management, the Corporation may modify a loan agreement with a borrower experiencing financial difficulties through a refinancing or restructuring of the borrower’s loan agreement (modification programs).
Consumer Real Estate
The following modification programs are offered for consumer real estate loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications represented 0.25 percent and 0.35 percent of outstanding residential mortgage and home equity loans at September 30, 2023.
Forbearance and Other Payment Plans: Forbearance plans generally consist of the Corporation suspending the borrower’s payments for a defined period with those payments then due at the conclusion of the forbearance period. The aging status of a loan is generally frozen when it enters into a forbearance plan. Alternatively, the Corporation may offer the borrower a payment plan, which allows the borrower to repay past due amounts through payments over a defined period. At September 30, 2023, the amortized cost of residential mortgage loans that were modified through these plans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $270 million and $437 million. The amortized cost of home equity loans that were modified through these plans during the same periods was $39 million and $64 million. The weighted-average duration of residential mortgage loan modifications was approximately 4 months and 8 months for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the same periods, the weighted-average duration for home equity loan modifications was approximately 4 months and 9 months. The total forborne payments for residential mortgage loan modifications was $6 million and $19 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the same periods, the total forborne payments for home equity modifications was $2 million and $7 million. If a borrower is unable to fulfill their obligations under the forbearance plans, they may be offered a trial or permanent modification.
Trial Modifications: Trial modification plans generally consist of the Corporation offering a borrower modified loan terms that reduce their contractual payments temporarily over a
-to-four-month trial period. If the customer successfully makes the modified payments during the trial period and formally accepts the modified terms, the modified loan terms become permanent. At September 30, 2023, the amortized cost of residential mortgage loans entering trial modifications during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $33 million and $83 million. The amortized cost of home equity loans entering trial modifications during the same periods was $10 million and $31 million.
Permanent Modifications: Permanent modifications include borrowers that have completed a trial modification and have had their contractual payment terms permanently modified, as well as borrowers that proceed directly to a permanent modification without a trial period. In a permanent modification, the borrower’s payment terms are typically modified in more than one manner but generally include a term extension and an interest rate reduction. At times, the permanent modification may also include principal forgiveness and/or a deferral of past due principal and interest amounts to the end of the loan term. The combinations utilized are based on modifying the terms that give the borrower an improved ability to meet the contractual obligations. At September 30, 2023, the amortized cost of residential mortgage loans that were granted a permanent modification during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $47 million and $128 million. The amortized cost of home equity loans that were granted a permanent modification during the same periods was $9 million and $26 million. The term extensions granted for residential mortgage and home equity permanent modifications vary widely and can be up to 30 years, but are mostly in the range of 1 to 20 years for both residential mortgage and home equity loans. The weighted-average term extension of permanent modifications for residential mortgage loans was 12.1 years and 9.9 years for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, while the weighted-average interest rate reduction was 1.31 percent and 1.50 percent. For the same periods, the weighted-average term extension of permanent modifications for home equity loans was 17.2 years and 16.2 years, while the weighted-average interest rate reduction was 2.69 percent and 3.11 percent. Principal forgiveness and payment deferrals were insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
For consumer real estate borrowers in financial difficulty that received a forbearance, trial or permanent modification, there were no commitments to lend additional funds at September 30, 2023. Borrowers with a home equity line of credit that received a forbearance plan could have all or a portion of their lines reinstated in the future if they cure their payment default and meet certain Bank conditions.
Chapter 7 Discharges: If a borrower’s consumer real estate obligation is discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding, the contractual payment terms of the loan are not modified, although they can no longer be enforced against the individual borrower. The Corporation’s ability to collect amounts due on the loan is limited to enforcement against the property through the foreclosure and sale of the collateral. The Corporation will only pursue foreclosure upon default by the borrower, and otherwise will recover pursuant to the loan terms or at the time of a sale. Residential mortgage and home equity loans that were granted a Chapter 7 discharge were insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The Corporation tracks the performance of modified loans to assess effectiveness of modification programs. Defaults of modified residential mortgage and home equity loans since January 1, 2023 were $160 million and $26 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The table below provides aging information as of September 30, 2023 for consumer real estate loans modified since January 1, 2023.
(1)Excludes trial modifications and Chapter 7 discharges
Consumer real estate foreclosed properties totaled $93 million and $121 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The carrying value of consumer real estate loans, including fully-insured loans, for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $684 million and $871 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Corporation reclassified $86 million and $151 million of consumer real estate loans to foreclosed properties or, for properties acquired upon foreclosure of certain government-guaranteed loans (principally FHA-insured loans), to other assets. The reclassifications represent non-cash investing activities and, accordingly, are not reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Credit Card and Other Consumer
Credit card and other consumer loans are primarily modified by placing the customer on a fixed payment plan with a significantly reduced fixed interest rate, with terms ranging from 6 months to 72 months. As of September 30, 2023, substantially all payment plans provided to customers had a 60-month term. In certain circumstances, the Corporation will forgive a portion of the outstanding balance if the borrower makes payments up to a set amount. The Corporation makes modifications directly with borrowers for loans held by the Corporation (internal programs) as well as through third-party renegotiation agencies that provide solutions to customers’ entire unsecured debt structures (external programs). The September 30, 2023 amortized cost of credit card and other consumer loans that were modified through these programs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $196 million and $455 million. The weighted-average interest rate reduction for the modifications was 19.40 percent and 19.02 percent, and
principal forgiveness was $16 million and $41 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The Corporation tracks the performance of modified loans to assess the effectiveness of modification programs. Defaults of modified credit card and other consumer loans since January 1, 2023 were insignificant during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Of the $455 million in modified credit card and other consumer loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as of September 30, 2023, $370 million were current, $47 million were 30-89 days past due, and $38 million were greater than 90 days past due. These modifications represented 0.22 percent of outstanding credit card and other consumer loans at September 30, 2023.
Commercial Loans
Modifications of loans to commercial borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are designed to reduce the Corporation’s loss exposure while providing borrowers with an opportunity to work through financial difficulties, often to avoid foreclosure or bankruptcy. Each modification is unique, reflects the borrower’s individual circumstances and is designed to benefit the borrower while mitigating the Corporation’s risk exposure. Commercial modifications are primarily term extensions and payment forbearances. Payment forbearances involve the Bank forbearing its contractual right to collect certain payments or payment in full (maturity forbearance) for a defined period of time. Reductions in interest rates and principal forgiveness occur infrequently for commercial borrowers. Principal forgiveness may occur in connection with foreclosure, short sales or other settlement agreements, leading to termination or sale of the loan. The table below provides the ending amortized cost of commercial loans modified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Term extensions granted increased the weighted-average life of the impacted loans by 1.8 years at both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The weighted-average duration of loan payments deferred under the Corporation’s commercial loan forbearance program was 8 months for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 9 months for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The deferral period for loan payments can vary, but are mostly in the range of 9 months to 24 months. The weighted-average interest rate reduction was 0.59 percent for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Modifications of loans to troubled borrowers for Commercial Lease Financing and U.S. Small Business Commercial were not significant during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Corporation tracks the performance of modified loans to assess effectiveness of modification programs. Defaults of modified Commercial loans since January 1, 2023 were insignificant during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The table below provides aging information as of September 30, 2023 for commercial loans modified since January 1, 2023.
Prior-period Troubled Debt Restructuring Disclosures
Prior to adopting the new accounting standard on loan modifications, the Corporation accounted for modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as TDRs, when the modification resulted in a concession. The following discussion reflects loans that were considered TDRs prior to January 1, 2023. For more information on TDR accounting policies, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Consumer Real Estate
The table below presents the September 30, 2022 unpaid principal balance, carrying value, and average pre- and post-modification interest rates of consumer real estate loans that were modified in TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The following Consumer Real Estate portfolio segment tables include loans that were initially classified as TDRs during the period and also loans that had previously been classified as TDRs and were modified again during the period. Binding trial modifications are classified as TDRs when the trial offer is made and continue to be classified as TDRs regardless of whether the borrower enters into a permanent modification.
At December 31, 2022, remaining commitments to lend additional funds to debtors whose terms have been modified in a consumer real estate TDR were not significant.
(1)The post-modification interest rate reflects the interest rate applicable only to permanently completed modifications, which exclude loans that are in a trial modification period.
The table below presents the September 30, 2022 carrying value for consumer real estate loans that were modified in a TDR during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, by type of modification.
(1)Includes loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy with no change in repayment terms that are classified as TDRs.
The table below presents the carrying value of consumer real estate loans that entered into payment default during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 that were modified in a TDR during the 12 months preceding payment default. A payment default for consumer real estate TDRs is recognized when a borrower has missed three monthly payments (not necessarily consecutively) since modification.
(1)Includes loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy with no change in repayment terms that are classified as TDRs.
(2)Includes trial modification offers to which the customer did not respond.
Credit Card and Other Consumer The table below provides information on the Corporation’s Credit Card and Other Consumer TDR portfolio including the September 30, 2022 unpaid principal balance, carrying value, and average pre- and post-modification interest rates of loans that were modified in TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
(1)Includes accrued interest and fees.
The table below presents the September 30, 2022 carrying value for Credit Card and Other Consumer loans that were modified in a TDR during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 by program type.
Commercial Loans
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the carrying value of the Corporation’s commercial loans that were modified as TDRs was $745 million and $1.7 billion. At December 31, 2022, the Corporation had commitments to lend $358 million to commercial borrowers whose loans were classified as TDRs. The balance of commercial TDRs in payment default was $105 million at December 31, 2022.
Loans Held-for-sale
The Corporation had LHFS of $7.6 billion and $6.9 billion at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Cash and non-
cash proceeds from sales and paydowns of loans originally classified as LHFS were $10.8 billion and $27.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Cash used for originations and purchases of LHFS totaled $11.5 billion and $18.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Also included were non-cash net transfers into LHFS of $634 million and $2.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Accrued Interest Receivable
Accrued interest receivable for loans and leases and loans held-for-sale at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $4.3 billion and $3.8 billion and is reported in on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Outstanding credit card loan balances include unpaid principal, interest and fees. Credit card loans are not classified as nonperforming but are charged off no later than the end of the month in which the account becomes 180 days past due, within 60 days after receipt of notification of death or bankruptcy, or upon confirmation of fraud. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Corporation
reversed $152 million and $409 million of interest and fee income against the income statement line item in which it was originally recorded upon charge-off of the principal balance of the loan compared to $81 million and $241 million for the same periods in 2022.For the outstanding residential mortgage, home equity, direct/indirect consumer and commercial loan balances classified as nonperforming during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, interest and fee income reversed at the time the loans were classified as nonperforming was not significant. For more information on the Corporation's nonperforming loan policies, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-KAllowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is estimated using quantitative and qualitative methods that consider a variety of factors, such as historical loss experience, the current credit quality of the portfolio and an economic outlook over the life of the loan. Qualitative reserves cover losses that are expected but, in the Corporation's assessment, may not be adequately reflected in the quantitative methods or the economic assumptions. The Corporation incorporates forward-looking information through the use of several macroeconomic scenarios in determining the weighted economic outlook over the forecasted life of the assets. These scenarios include key macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product, unemployment rate, real estate prices and corporate bond spreads. The scenarios that are chosen each quarter and the weighting given to each scenario depend on a variety of factors including recent economic events, leading economic indicators, internal and third-party economist views, and industry trends. For more information on the Corporation's credit loss accounting policies including the allowance for credit losses, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The September 30, 2023 estimate for allowance for credit losses was based on various economic scenarios, including a baseline scenario derived from consensus estimates, an adverse scenario reflecting an extended moderate recession, a downside scenario reflecting persistent inflation and interest rates above the baseline scenario, a tail risk scenario similar to the severely adverse scenario used in stress testing and an upside scenario that considers the potential for improvement above the baseline scenario. The overall weighted economic outlook of the above scenarios is estimating a mild recessionary environment in late 2023 and early 2024, which has modestly improved compared to the weighted economic outlook
estimated as of December 31, 2022. The weighted economic outlook assumes that the U.S. average unemployment rate will be just above five percent by the fourth quarter of 2024 and will remain near this level through the fourth quarter of 2025. Additionally, in this economic outlook, U.S. real gross domestic product is forecasted to grow at 0.5 percent and at 1.6 percent year-over-year in the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2025.
The allowance for credit losses increased $418 million from December 31, 2022 to $14.6 billion at September 30, 2023, which included a $921 million reserve increase related to the consumer portfolio and a $503 million reserve decrease related to the commercial portfolio. The increase in the allowance reflected a reserve build in the Corporation’s consumer portfolio primarily due to credit card loan growth and asset quality, partially offset by a reserve release in the Corporation’s commercial portfolio primarily driven by certain improved macroeconomic conditions. The allowance also includes the impact of the accounting change to remove the recognition and measurement guidance on TDRs, which reduced the allowance for credit losses by $243 million on January 1, 2023. The change in the allowance for credit losses was comprised of a net increase of $605 million in the allowance for loan and lease losses and a decrease of $187 million in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The provision for credit losses increased $336 million to $1.2 billion, and $1.8 billion to $3.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. The provision for credit losses for the current-year periods was driven by the Corporation’s consumer portfolio primarily due to credit card loan growth and asset quality, partially offset by certain improved macroeconomic conditions that primarily benefited the Corporation’s commercial portfolio. In addition, provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 benefited from commercial net paydowns. For the three-month period in the prior year, the provision for credit losses was primarily driven by loan growth and a dampened macroeconomic outlook and the nine-month period was driven by the same factors as well as a reserve build related to Russian exposure, partially offset by asset quality improvement and reduced COVID-19 pandemic uncertainties.
Outstanding loans and leases excluding loans accounted for under the fair value option increased $4.9 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 driven by consumer loans, which increased $2.5 billion driven by credit card, partially offset by declines in securities-based lending. Commercial loans increased $2.4 billion driven by broad-based growth.
The changes in the allowance for credit losses, including net charge-offs and provision for loan and lease losses, are detailed in the following table.
