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
Nonperforming loans were $5.5 billion at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Commercial nonperforming loans were $2.8 billion at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 primarily driven by the commercial real estate office property
type. Consumer nonperforming loans were $2.7 billion at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, driven primarily by residential mortgage.
The following table presents the Corporation’s nonperforming loans and leases and loans accruing past due 90 days or more at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Nonperforming loans held-for-sale (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 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(1)Residential mortgage loans accruing past due 90 days or more are fully-insured loans. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 residential mortgage included $125 million and $156 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 $86 million and $96 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.

Credit 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 2023 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 June 30, 2024.

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). Effective January 1, 2023, the Corporation adopted the new accounting standard on loan modifications. Accordingly, June 30, 2024 balances presented in payment status tables represent loans that were modified over the last 12 months, and June 30, 2023 balances presented in payment status tables represent loans that were modified during the first half of 2023.
Consumer Real Estate
The following modification programs are offered for consumer real estate loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Residential mortgage modifications represented 0.04 percent and 0.07 percent of outstanding residential mortgage loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 0.14 percent and 0.19 percent for the same periods in 2023. Home equity modifications represented 0.04 percent and 0.07 percent of outstanding home equity loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 0.19 percent and 0.28 percent for the same periods in 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 over a defined period of time or at the conclusion of the forbearance period. The aging status of a loan is generally frozen when it enters into a forbearance plan. If a borrower is unable to fulfill their obligations under the forbearance plans, they may be offered a trial offer or permanent modification.
Trial Offer and Permanent Modifications: Trial offer for 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. Some borrowers may enter into permanent modifications 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. 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. Principal forgiveness and payment deferrals were insignificant during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
The table below provides the ending amortized cost of the Corporation’s modified consumer real estate loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
The table below presents the financial effect of modified consumer real estate loans.
n/a = not applicable
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 June 30, 2024 and 2023.
The Corporation tracks the performance of modified loans to assess effectiveness of modification programs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, modified
residential and home equity loans that defaulted were insignificant. The table below provides aging information as of June 30, 2024 for consumer real estate loans that were modified over the last 12 months and as of June 30, 2023 for consumer real estate loans that were modified during the first half of 2023.
Consumer real estate foreclosed properties totaled $92 million and $83 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The carrying value of consumer real estate loans, including fully-insured loans, for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was $588 million and $633 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Corporation reclassified $56 million and $68 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, most of which had a 60-month term at June 30, 2024. 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 June 30, 2024 amortized cost of credit card and other consumer loans that were modified through these programs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $200 million and $401 million compared to $168 million and $303 million for the same periods in 2023. These modifications represented 0.10 percent and 0.20 percent of outstanding credit card and other consumer loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 0.08 percent and 0.15 percent for the same periods in 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the financial effect of modifications resulted in a weighted-average interest rate reduction of 19.59 percent and 19.66 percent compared to 19.02 percent and 18.82 percent for the same periods in 2023, and principal forgiveness of $29 million and $57 million, compared to $14 million and $25 million for the same periods in 2023.
The Corporation tracks the performance of modified loans to assess effectiveness of modification programs. As of June 30, 2024, defaults of modified credit card and other consumer loans over the last 12 months were insignificant. Defaults of modified credit card and other consumer loans since January 1, 2023 were insignificant during the first half of 2023. At June 30, 2024, modified credit card and other consumer loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty over the last 12 months totaled $674 million, of which $566 million were
current, $58 million were 30-89 days past due, and $50 million were greater than 90 days past due. At June 30, 2023, modified credit card and other consumer loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty totaled $303 million, of which $237 million were current, $35 million were 30-89 days past due, and $31 million were greater than 90 days past due.
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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Term extensions granted increased the weighted-average life of the impacted loans by 1.3 years for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 1.6 years for the same periods in 2023. The weighted-average duration of loan payments deferred under the Corporation’s commercial loan forbearance program was 8 months and 12 months for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 11 months for the same periods in 2023. The deferral period for loan payments can vary, but are mostly in the range of 8 months to 24 months. Modifications of loans to troubled borrowers for Commercial Lease Financing and U.S. Small Business Commercial were not significant during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Corporation tracks the performance of modified loans to assess effectiveness of modification programs. As of June 30, 2024, defaults of commercial loans modified during the last 12 months were insignificant. As of June 30, 2023, defaults of commercial loans modified during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were insignificant. The table below provides aging information as of June 30, 2024 for commercial loans that were modified over the last 12 months and as of June 30, 2023 for commercial loans that were modified during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Corporation had commitments to lend $916 million and $687 million to commercial borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose loans were modified during the period.
Loans Held-for-sale
The Corporation had LHFS of $7.0 billion and $6.0 billion at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Cash and non-cash proceeds from sales and paydowns of loans originally classified as LHFS were $15.7 billion and $7.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Cash used for originations and purchases of LHFS totaled $17.0 billion and $7.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Also included were non-cash net transfers into LHFS of $0 and $457 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Accrued Interest Receivable
Accrued interest receivable for loans and leases and loans held-for-sale was $4.5 billion at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and is reported in customer and other receivables 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, the Corporation reversed $215 million and $420 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 $138 million and $256 million for the same periods in 2023.
For the outstanding residential mortgage, home equity, direct/indirect consumer and commercial loan balances classified as nonperforming during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 2023 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 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The June 30, 2024 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 continued inflation and interest rates with minimal rate cuts, 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 has improved compared to the weighted economic outlook estimated as of December 31, 2023. The weighted economic outlook assumes that the U.S. average unemployment rate will be four and a half percent by the fourth quarter of 2024 and will increase to just below five percent by the fourth quarter of 2025. The weighted economic outlook assumes sluggish growth with U.S. real gross domestic product forecasted to grow at 1.0 percent and 1.5 percent year-over-year in the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2025.
The allowance for credit losses decreased $209 million from December 31, 2023 to $14.3 billion at June 30, 2024, which included a $33 million reserve decrease related to the consumer portfolio and a $176 million reserve decrease related to the commercial portfolio. The reserve decrease was primarily driven by commercial due to an improved macroeconomic outlook. The change in the allowance for credit losses was comprised of a net decrease of $104 million in the allowance for loan and lease losses and a decrease of $105 million in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The decline in the allowance for credit losses was attributed to decreases in the commercial portfolio of $176 million and the consumer real estate portfolio of $66 million, partially offset by an increase in the credit card and other consumer portfolios of $33 million. The provision for credit losses increased $383 million to $1.5 billion, and $771 million to $2.8 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The provision for credit losses for the current-year periods was primarily driven by credit card loans and the commercial real estate office portfolio.
Outstanding loans and leases excluding loans accounted for under the fair value option increased $3.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily driven by commercial, which increased $6.4 billion due to broad-based growth. Consumer loans decreased $3.0 billion driven by credit card loans.
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.
