- Short-term variable notes: $1.00B (maturity Aug 6, 2026), $1.00B (maturity Oct 6, 2026) and $1.05B (maturity Sep 2, 2026), each non-callable and structured as single-index floaters with settlement on February 3, 2026.

Key Details
- Total reported par amount: $3,090,000,000.
- Trade dates: primarily 2/2/2026 (settlements 2/3/2026 and 2/4/2026) and one trade dated 2/3/2026 (settlement 2/11/2026).
- Notes: three variable single-index floaters maturing within 2026 (par $3.05B); two fixed-rate Bermudan-callable bonds totaling $40M (coupons 4.05% and 3.77%).
- Regulatory context: consolidated obligations are joint and several obligations of the 11 Federal Home Loan Banks, are backed only by those banks’ resources (not by the U.S. government), and are issued under FHFA regulation.
Why It Matters
- This 8-K shows how the Bank funds operations and liquidity needs through the capital markets. The issuance increases the Bank’s consolidated obligations for which it is the primary obligor on the reported trades.
- Retail investors should note these are bank-supported obligations (not government-guaranteed) and that the Finance Agency (FHFA) can require any Federal Home Loan Bank to repay consolidated obligations for which another Bank is the primary obligor. The Bank will report total consolidated obligations outstanding in its periodic SEC filings.
