1.2.2: Credit Rating
The FHLBank System maintains a triple-A credit rating. Other Information:
The lowest cost credit is available to FHLBank members when the FHLBank System maintains the highest credit rating. This rating
allows the FHLBanks to issue consolidated obligations (the funding source for the FHLBanks’ credit products) at terms that
are competitive with other government sponsored enterprises (GSEs), and only slightly higher than U.S. Treasury rates. FHLBank
members use advances to finance long-term portfolio investments in residential mortgages, including affordable housing, and
to fund small business and agricultural loans.
