Collateral Reporting

Loan Listing

Beginning July 1, 2020, FHLB Des Moines will be adding a Rate Index column to the General File Format. All members submitting their monthly loan listing using the General File Format will be required to use the new file with the Rate Index column included.

This change is being made to capture the index your institution is referencing regarding all adjustable-rate loans pledged to FHLB Des Moines via a loan listing.

Even if your institution does not pledge adjustable-rate loans, the column must be included in your file.
