“The Bank’s position continued to improve in the third quarter while we prepared for the Fed to begin their easing cycle. Margin and expenses were stable, with minimal benefit from the Fed’s late-quarter rate cut.

We also fully exited the Bank Term Funding Program well in advance of its March 2025 maturity.”
