Announcing the Callable Adjustable Rate Credit Advance Pilot Program
The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY) is pleased to announce the pilot* launch of the Callable Adjustable Rate Credit Advance (Callable ARC).
The Callable ARC offers two distinct option structures that give members the flexibility to meet the demands of a fluctuating balance sheet. Members can use the call feature to strategically extinguish (and potentially rebook) the advance when the remaining term reaches either a 1-month-left-to-maturity or 1-year-left-to-maturity window, affording greater control in managing liquidity needs with no additional prepayment fees.
The Callable ARC will be available with either 1-month LIBOR or Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) indices with the following product structures:
Callable ARC Advance: 1-Month Call at the End |
||
Terms |
7-month minimum term with a 1-month-left-to-maturity call option |
|
Available Indices | 1-month LIBOR or SOFR | |
Maturities | 1-month LIBOR maturities not available beyond 12/31/2021; 3-year maximum term for advances tied to SOFR | |

Can be tailored to meet specific financing needs
Allows members to take advantage of potential changes to ARC rates, should the rate on the ARC advance improve or worsen with market volatility
No prepayment fees when the call option is exercised on the pre-determined date, adding flexibility to extinguish or rebook the advance
Can be linked to either 1-month LIBOR or SOFR indices, enabling members to match the interest rate characteristics of adjustable-rate assets
