“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about U.S. Bancorp. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and are based on the information available to, and assumptions and estimates made by, management as of the date made. These forward-looking statements cover, among other things, anticipated future revenue and expenses and the future plans and prospects of U.S. Bancorp. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Global and domestic economies could fail to recover from the recent economic downturn or could experience another severe contraction, which could adversely affect U.S. Bancorp’s revenues and the values of its assets and liabilities. Global financial markets could experience a recurrence of significant turbulence, which could reduce the availability of funding to certain financial institutions and lead to a tightening of credit, a reduction of business activity, and increased market volatility. Continued stress in the commercial real estate markets, as well as a delay or failure of recovery in the residential real estate markets, could cause additional credit losses and deterioration in asset values. In addition, U.S. Bancorp’s business and financial performance is likely to be negatively impacted by effects of recently enacted and future legislation and regulation. U.S. Bancorp’s results could also be adversely affected by continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions; changes in interest rates; deterioration in the credit quality of its loan portfolios or in the value of the collateral securing those loans; deterioration in the value of securities held in its investment securities portfolio; legal and regulatory developments; increased competition from both banks and non-banks; changes in customer behavior and preferences; effects of mergers and acquisitions and related integration; effects of critical accounting policies and judgments; and management’s ability to effectively manage credit risk, residual value risk, market risk, operational risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk.

For discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, refer to U.S. Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Corporate Risk Profile” contained in Exhibit 13, and all subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and U.S. Bancorp undertakes no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

OVERVIEW

Earnings Summary U.S. Bancorp and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) reported net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp of $1.3 billion for the third quarter of 2011, or $.64 per diluted common share, compared with $908 million, or $.45 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2010. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 1.57 percent and 16.1 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2011, compared with 1.26 percent and 12.8 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2010. The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2011 was $150 million lower than net charge-offs. The provision for credit losses equaled net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2010.

Total net revenue, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the third quarter of 2011 was $208 million (4.5 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2010, reflecting a 5.9 percent increase in net interest income and a 2.9 percent increase in total noninterest income. The increase in net interest income over a year ago was largely the result of an increase in average earning assets and continued growth in lower cost core deposit funding. Noninterest income increased over a year ago, primarily due to higher payments-related revenue, deposit service charges and commercial products revenue, partially offset by lower mortgage banking revenue.

Total noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2011 was $91 million (3.8 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to higher total compensation and employee benefits expense, including higher pension costs, higher professional services expense and other business initiatives.

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2011 was $519 million, or $476 million (47.8 percent) lower than the third quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2011 were $669 million, compared with $995 million in the third quarter of 2010. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

The Company reported net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp of $3.5 billion for the first nine months of 2011, or $1.77 per diluted common share, compared with $2.3 billion, or $1.24 per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2010. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 1.50 percent and 15.5 percent, respectively, for the first nine months of 2011, compared with 1.11 percent and 12.3 percent, respectively, for the first nine months of 2010. The Company’s results for the first nine months of 2011 included a $46 million gain related to the acquisition of First Community Bank of New Mexico (“FCB”) in a transaction with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) during the first quarter of 2011. Results for the first nine months of 2011 also included net securities losses of $22 million and a provision for credit losses lower than net charge-offs by $375 million. Diluted earnings per common share for the first nine months of 2010 included a non-recurring $.05 benefit in the second quarter related to an exchange of perpetual preferred stock for outstanding income trust securities. The first nine months of 2010 also included $200 million of provision for credit losses in excess of net charge-offs and $64 million of net securities losses.

Total net revenue, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the first nine months of 2011 was $577 million (4.3 percent) higher than the first nine months of 2010, reflecting a 5.3 percent increase in net interest income and a 3.1 percent increase in total noninterest income. The increase in net interest income over a year ago was largely the result of an increase in average earning assets and continued growth in lower cost core deposit funding. Noninterest income increased over a year ago, primarily due to higher payments-related revenue, commercial products revenue and other income, as well as lower net securities losses, partially offset by lower mortgage banking revenue.

Total noninterest expense in the first nine months of 2011 was $317 million (4.6 percent) higher than the first nine months of 2010, primarily due to higher total compensation and employee benefits expense, including higher pension costs, higher professional services expense and other business initiatives.

The provision for credit losses for the first nine months of 2011 was $1.8 billion, or $1.6 billion (46.4 percent) lower than the first nine months of 2010. Net charge-offs in the first nine months of 2011 were $2.2 billion, compared with $3.2 billion in the first nine months of 2010. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

STATEMENT OF INCOME ANALYSIS

Net Interest Income Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $2.6 billion in the third quarter of 2011, compared with $2.5 billion in the third quarter of 2010. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $7.7 billion in the first nine months of 2011, compared with $7.3 billion in the first nine months of 2010. The increases were primarily the result of growth in average earning assets and lower cost core deposit funding. Average earning assets increased $34.4 billion (13.6 percent) in the third quarter and $29.9 billion (12.0 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, driven by increases in investment securities, loans and other earning assets, which included cash balances held at the Federal Reserve. The net interest margin in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 was 3.65 percent and 3.67 percent, respectively, compared with 3.91 percent and 3.90 percent in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively. The decreases in the net interest margin reflected higher balances in lower yielding investment securities and growth in cash balances held at the Federal Reserve. Refer to the “Consolidated Daily Average Balance Sheet and Related Yields and Rates” tables for further information on net interest income.

Total average loans for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 were $9.6 billion (5.0 percent) and $7.3 billion (3.8 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2010, driven by growth in residential mortgages, commercial loans, commercial real estate loans and other retail loans, partially offset by decreases in credit card balances and loans covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC (“covered” loans). The increases were driven by demand for loans and lines by new and existing credit-worthy borrowers and the impact of the FCB acquisition. Average covered loans decreased for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, by $3.5 billion (18.2 percent) and $3.7 billion (18.1 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010.

Average investment securities in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 were $18.4 billion (38.4 percent) and $14.8 billion (31.5 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2010, primarily due to purchases of U.S. Treasury and government agency-related securities, as the Company increased its on-balance sheet liquidity in response to anticipated regulatory requirements.

Average total deposits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 were $32.7 billion (17.9 percent) and $26.9 billion (14.7 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2010. Excluding deposits from acquisitions, third quarter 2011 average total deposits increased $24.2 billion (13.2 percent) over the third quarter of 2010. Average noninterest-bearing deposits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 were $18.9 billion (47.5 percent) and $11.3 billion (28.9 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2010, with growth in Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate, Wealth Management and Securities Services, and Consumer and Small Business Banking balances. Average total savings deposits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 were $13.4 billion (13.5 percent) and $14.4 billion (14.5 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2010, primarily due to growth in corporate and institutional trust balances, including the impact of the December 30, 2010 acquisition of the securitization trust administration business of Bank of America, N.A. (“securitization trust administration acquisition”), as well as increases in Consumer and Small Business Banking balances, partially offset by lower broker-dealer balances. Average time certificates of deposit less than $100,000 were lower in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 by $773 million (4.8 percent) and $1.8 billion (10.6 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010, as a result of expected decreases in acquired certificates of deposit and decreases in Consumer and Small Business Banking balances. Average time deposits greater than $100,000 were $1.2 billion (4.4 percent) and $3.0 billion (11.0 percent) higher in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010, principally due to higher balances in Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate and institutional and corporate trust, including the impact of the securitization trust administration and FCB acquisitions.

Provision for Credit Losses The provision for credit losses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 decreased $476 million (47.8 percent) and $1.6 billion (46.4 percent), respectively, from the same periods of 2010. Net charge-offs decreased $326 million (32.8 percent) and $1.0 billion (31.5 percent) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010, principally due to improvement in the commercial, commercial real estate, credit card and other retail loan portfolios. The provision for credit losses was lower than net charge-offs by $150 million in the third quarter and $375 million in the first nine months of 2011, equaled net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2010, and exceeded net charge-offs by $200 million in the first nine months of 2010. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Noninterest Income Noninterest income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 was $2.2 billion and $6.3 billion, respectively, compared with $2.1 billion and $6.1 billion in the same periods of 2010, or increases of $61 million (2.9 percent) and $191 million (3.1 percent), respectively. Payments-related revenues and ATM processing services income were higher largely due to increased transaction volumes. Commercial products revenue increased due to higher commercial leasing revenue, syndication fees and other commercial loan fees. Investment products fees and commissions also increased due to business initiatives. Deposit service charges increased in the third quarter of 2011, compared with the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to new account growth, higher transaction volumes and recent product redesign initiatives, partially offset by 2010 legislative and pricing changes. Deposit service charges were lower in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same period of the prior year, due to the 2010 legislative and pricing changes, partially offset by account growth. Other income increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to higher retail lease residual revenue and customer-related derivative revenue. In addition, other income for the first nine months of 2011 also increased over the same period of the prior year due to a gain recognized on the FCB acquisition in the first quarter of 2011. Trust and investment management fees decreased as a result of the sale of the Company’s long-term asset management business in the fourth quarter of 2010 and increased money market investment fee waivers, partially offset by the positive impact of the securitization trust administration acquisition and improved market conditions. In addition, mortgage banking revenue decreased due to lower origination and sales revenue.

The Company anticipates the implementation of recently passed legislation, under the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, will reduce future noninterest income by approximately $300 million on an annualized basis beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, based on anticipated transaction volume excluding any mitigating actions the Company may take.

Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense was $2.5 billion in the third quarter and $7.2 billion in the first nine months of 2011, compared with $2.4 billion in the third quarter and $6.9 billion in the first nine months of 2010, or increases of $91 million (3.8 percent) and $317 million (4.6 percent), respectively. The increase in noninterest expense from a year ago was principally due to increased total compensation, employee benefits, net occupancy and equipment expense, and professional services expense, partially offset by decreases in other intangibles expense and other expense. Total compensation increased primarily due to an increase in staffing related to branch expansion and other business initiatives, and merit increases. Employee benefits expense increased due to higher pension costs and the impact of additional staff. Net occupancy and equipment expense increased principally due to business expansion and technology initiatives. Professional services expense increased due to mortgage servicing-related and other projects across multiple business lines. These increases were partially offset by decreases in other intangibles expense due to the reduction or completion of the amortization of certain intangibles. Other expense was also lower due to lower costs related to other real estate owned, insurance and litigation matters.

Income Tax Expense The provision for income taxes was $490 million (an effective rate of 28.1 percent) for the third quarter and $1.3 billion (an effective rate of 27.5 percent) for the first nine months of 2011, compared with $260 million (an effective rate of 22.5 percent) and $620 million (an effective rate of 21.2 percent) for the same periods of 2010. The increases in the effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of the prior year, principally reflected the marginal impact of higher pretax earnings year-over-year. For further information on income taxes, refer to Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Loans The Company’s total loan portfolio was $204.8 billion at September 30, 2011, compared with $197.1 billion at December 31, 2010, an increase of $7.7 billion (3.9 percent). The increase was driven by increases in most major loan categories, partially offset by lower credit card and covered loans. The $5.4 billion (11.2 percent) increase in commercial loans was primarily driven by higher loan demand from new and existing customers, and the $908 million (2.6 percent) increase in commercial real estate loans was primarily due to the FCB acquisition.

Residential mortgages held in the loan portfolio increased $4.4 billion (14.3 percent) at September 30, 2011, compared with December 31, 2010, as a result of mortgage originations exceeding prepayments and paydowns in the portfolio. Most loans retained in the portfolio are to customers with prime or near-prime credit characteristics at the date of origination.

Total credit card loans decreased $471 million (2.8 percent) at September 30, 2011, compared with December 31, 2010. Other retail loans, which include retail leasing, home equity and other consumer loans, were essentially unchanged at September 30, 2011, compared with December 31, 2010.

Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale, consisting primarily of residential mortgages to be sold in the secondary market, were $5.4 billion at September 30, 2011, compared with $8.4 billion at December 31, 2010. The decrease in loans held for sale was principally due to a high level of mortgage loan origination and refinancing activity in the second half of 2010.

Most of the Company’s residential mortgage loans are originated to guidelines that allow the loans to be sold into existing, highly liquid secondary markets; in particular in government agency transactions and to government sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”). The Company also originates residential mortgages that follow its own investment guidelines with the intent to hold such loans in the loan portfolio, primarily well secured jumbo mortgages to borrowers with high credit quality, as well as near-prime non-conforming mortgages. The Company generally retains portfolio loans through maturity; however, the Company’s intent may change over time based upon various factors such as ongoing asset/liability management activities, assessment of product profitability, credit risk, liquidity needs, and capital implications. If the Company’s intent or ability to hold an existing portfolio loan changes, it is transferred to loans held for sale.

Investment Securities Investment securities totaled $68.4 billion at September 30, 2011, compared with $53.0 billion at December 31, 2010. The $15.4 billion (29.1 percent) increase primarily reflected $14.1 billion of net investment purchases, primarily in the held-to-maturity investment portfolio, as well as a $1.0 billion favorable change in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale investment securities. Held-to-maturity securities were $16.3 billion at September 30, 2011, compared with $1.5 billion at December 31, 2010, primarily reflecting increases in U.S. Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities, as the Company increased its on-balance sheet liquidity in response to anticipated regulatory requirements.

The Company conducts a regular assessment of its investment portfolio to determine whether any securities are other-than-temporarily impaired. At September 30, 2011, the Company’s net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities was $617 million, compared with a net unrealized loss of $346 million at December 31, 2010. The favorable change in net unrealized gains (losses) was primarily due to increases in the fair value of state and

political securities and agency mortgage-backed securities. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position totaled $646 million at September 30, 2011, compared with $1.2 billion at December 31, 2010. When assessing unrealized losses for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company considers the nature of the investment, the financial condition of the issuer, the extent and duration of unrealized loss, expected cash flows of underlying assets and market conditions. At September 30, 2011, the Company had no plans to sell securities with unrealized losses and believes it is more likely than not that it would not be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

There is limited market activity for non-agency mortgage-backed securities held by the Company. As a result, the Company estimates the fair value of these securities using estimates of expected cash flows, discount rates and management’s assessment of various other market factors, which are judgmental in nature. The Company recorded $9 million and $24 million of impairment charges in earnings during the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively, predominately on non-agency mortgage-backed securities. These impairment charges were due to changes in expected cash flows primarily resulting from increases in defaults in the underlying mortgage pools. Further adverse changes in market conditions may result in additional impairment charges in future periods. Refer to Notes 4 and 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on investment securities.

Deposits Total deposits were $222.6 billion at September 30, 2011, compared with $204.3 billion at December 31, 2010, the result of increases in noninterest-bearing and savings account deposits, partially offset by decreases in money market and time deposits greater than $100,000. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $18.9 billion (41.7 percent), primarily due to increases in Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate, and corporate trust balances. Savings account balances increased $3.0 billion (12.5 percent), primarily due to continued strong participation in a savings product offered by Consumer and Small Business Banking. Money market balances decreased $2.0 billion (4.3 percent) primarily due to lower Consumer and Small Business Banking, and broker-dealer balances, partially offset by higher corporate trust balances. Time deposits greater than $100,000, which are managed as an alternative to other funding sources such as wholesale borrowing, based largely on relative pricing, decreased $1.5 billion (5.0 percent) at September 30, 2011, compared with December 31, 2010. Interest checking balances decreased $160 million (.4 percent) primarily due to lower institutional trust balances, partially offset by higher Consumer and Small Business Banking, and corporate trust balances.

Borrowings The Company utilizes both short-term and long-term borrowings as part of its asset/liability management and funding strategies. Short-term borrowings, which include federal funds purchased, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, borrowings secured by high-grade assets and other short-term borrowings, were $32.0 billion at September 30, 2011, compared with $32.6 billion at December 31, 2010. The $528 million (1.6 percent) decrease in short-term borrowings was primarily due to lower repurchase agreements, partially offset by higher commercial paper and other borrowed funds balances. Long-term debt was $30.6 billion at September 30, 2011, compared with $31.5 billion at December 31, 2010. The $913 million (2.9 percent) decrease was primarily due to $1.7 billion of medium-term note and subordinated debt repayments and maturities, $.8 billion of extinguishments of junior subordinated debentures, and a $.6 billion decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, partially offset by $1.0 billion of medium-term note issuances and a $1.0 billion increase in long-term debt related to certain consolidated variable interest entities. Refer to the “Liquidity Risk Management” section for discussion of liquidity management of the Company.

CORPORATE RISK PROFILE

Overview Managing risks is an essential part of successfully operating a financial services company. The most prominent risk exposures are credit, residual value, operational, interest rate, market and liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting the interest and/or the principal balance of a loan, investment or derivative contract when it is due. Residual value risk is the potential reduction in the end-of-term value of leased assets. Operational risk includes risks related to fraud, legal and compliance, processing errors, technology, breaches of internal controls and business continuation and disaster recovery. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates, which can affect the re-pricing of assets and liabilities differently. Market risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and security prices that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as trading and available-for-sale securities, mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and derivatives that are accounted for on a fair value basis. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations to depositors, investors or borrowers. In addition, corporate strategic decisions, as well as the risks

described above, could give rise to reputation risk. Reputation risk is the risk that negative publicity or press, whether true or not, could result in costly litigation or cause a decline in the Company’s stock value, customer base, funding sources or revenue.

Credit Risk Management The Company’s strategy for credit risk management includes well-defined, centralized credit policies, uniform underwriting criteria, and ongoing risk monitoring and review processes for all commercial and consumer credit exposures. In evaluating its credit risk, the Company considers changes, if any, in underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, the level of allowance coverage relative to similar banking institutions and macroeconomic factors, such as changes in unemployment rates, gross domestic product and consumer bankruptcy filings. In addition, credit quality ratings as defined by the Company, are an important part of the Company’s overall credit risk management and evaluation of its allowance for credit losses. Loans with a pass rating represent those not classified on the Company’s rating scale for problem credits, as minimal risk has been identified. Loans with a special mention or classified rating, including all of the Company’s loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing, nonaccrual loans, and those considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), encompass all loans held by the Company that it considers to have a potential or well-defined weakness that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk. Refer to Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Company’s loan portfolios including internal credit quality ratings. In addition, Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Credit Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for a more detailed discussion on credit risk management processes.

The Company manages its credit risk, in part, through diversification of its loan portfolio and limit setting by product type criteria and concentrations. As part of its normal business activities, the Company offers a broad array of lending products. The Company categorizes its loan portfolio into three segments, which is the level at which it develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses. The Company’s three loan portfolio segments are commercial lending, consumer lending and covered loans. The commercial lending segment includes loans and leases made to small business, middle market, large corporate, commercial real estate, financial institution, and public sector customers. Key risk characteristics relevant to commercial lending segment loans include the industry and geography of the borrower’s business, purpose of the loan, repayment source, borrower’s debt capacity and financial flexibility, loan covenants, and nature of pledged collateral, if any. These risk characteristics, among others, are considered in determining estimates about the likelihood of default by the borrowers and the severity of loss in the event of default. The Company considers these risk characteristics in assigning internal risk ratings to these loans which is the primary factor in determining the allowance for credit losses for loans in the commercial lending segment.

The consumer lending segment represents loans and leases made to consumer customers including residential mortgages, credit cards, and other retail loans such as revolving consumer lines, auto loans and leases, student loans, and home equity loans and lines. Home equity or second mortgage loans are junior lien closed-end accounts fully disbursed at origination. These loans typically are fixed rate loans with a 10 or 15 year fixed payment amortization schedule. Home equity lines are revolving accounts originated giving the borrower the ability to draw and repay balances repeatedly, up to a maximum commitment, and are secured by residential real estate. These include accounts in either a first or junior lien position. Typical terms on home equity lines are variable rates benchmarked to the prime rate, with a 15 year draw period during which a minimum payment is equivalent to the monthly interest, followed by a 10 year amortization period. At September 30, 2011, substantially all of the Company’s home equity lines were in the draw period. Key risk characteristics relevant to consumer lending segment loans primarily relate to the borrowers’ capacity and willingness to repay and include unemployment rates and other economic factors, and customer payment history. These risk characteristics, among others, are reflected in forecasts of delinquency levels, bankruptcies and losses which are the primary factors in determining the allowance for credit losses for the consumer lending segment.

The covered loan segment represents loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions that are covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC that greatly reduce the risk of future credit losses to the Company. Key risk characteristics for covered segment loans are consistent with the segment they would otherwise be included in had the loss share coverage not been in place but consider the indemnification provided by the FDIC.

The Company further disaggregates its loan portfolio segments into various classes based on their underlying risk characteristics. The two classes within the commercial lending segment are commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. The three classes within the consumer lending segment are residential

mortgages, credit card loans and other retail loans. The covered loan segment consists of only one class.

The Company’s consumer lending segment utilizes several distinct business processes and channels to originate consumer credit, including traditional branch lending, indirect lending, portfolio acquisitions and a consumer finance division. Generally, loans managed by the Company’s consumer finance division exhibit higher credit risk characteristics, but are priced commensurate with the differing risk profile. With respect to residential mortgages originated through these channels, the Company may either retain the loans on its balance sheet or sell its interest in the balances into the secondary market while retaining the servicing rights and customer relationships. For residential mortgages that are retained in the Company’s portfolio and for home equity and second mortgages, credit risk is also diversified by geography and managed by adherence to loan-to-value and borrower credit criteria during the underwriting process.

The following tables provide summary information of the loan-to-values of residential mortgages and home equity and second mortgages by distribution channel and type at September 30, 2011:

The total amount of consumer lending segment residential mortgage, home equity and second mortgage loans to customers that may be defined as sub-prime borrowers represented only .7 percent of total assets at September 30, 2011, compared with .9 percent at December 31, 2010. Covered loans included $1.6 billion in loans with negative-amortization payment options at September 30, 2011, unchanged from December 31, 2010. The Company does not have any residential mortgages with payment schedules that would cause balances to increase over time other than certain covered loans.

Loan Delinquencies Trends in delinquency ratios are an indicator, among other considerations, of credit risk within the Company’s loan portfolios. The Company measures delinquencies, both including and excluding nonperforming loans, to enable comparability with other companies. Accruing loans 90 days or more past due

totaled $1.6 billion ($814 million excluding covered loans) at September 30, 2011, compared with $2.2 billion ($1.1 billion excluding covered loans) at December 31, 2010. These balances exclude loans purchased from Government National Mortgage Association mortgage pools whose repayments are primarily insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The $280 million (25.6 percent) decrease, excluding covered loans, reflected a moderation in the level of stress in economic conditions in the first nine months of 2011. These loans are not included in nonperforming assets and continue to accrue interest because they are adequately secured by collateral, are in the process of collection and are reasonably expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status, or are managed in homogeneous portfolios with specified charge-off timeframes adhering to regulatory guidelines. The ratio of accruing loans 90 days or more past due to total loans was .78 percent (.43 percent excluding covered loans) at September 30, 2011, compared with 1.11 percent (.61 percent excluding covered loans) at December 31, 2010.

Restructured Loans In certain circumstances, the Company may modify the terms of a loan to maximize the collection of amounts due when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties or is expected to experience difficulties in the near-term. In most cases the modification is either a concessionary reduction in interest rate, extension of the maturity date or reduction in the principal balance that would otherwise not be considered. Concessionary modifications are classified as TDRs unless the modification results in only an insignificant delay in the payments to be received. TDRs accrue interest if the borrower complies with the revised terms and conditions and has demonstrated repayment performance at a level commensurate with the modified terms over several payment cycles. Loans classified as TDRs are considered impaired loans for reporting and measurement purposes.

Troubled Debt Restructurings The Company continues to work with customers to modify loans for borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulties, including those acquired through FDIC-assisted acquisitions. Many of the Company’s TDRs are determined on a case-by-case basis in connection with ongoing loan collection processes. The modifications vary within each of the Company’s loan classes. Commercial lending segment TDRs generally include extensions of the maturity date and may be accompanied by an increase or decrease to the interest rate. The Company may also work with the borrower to make other changes to the loan to mitigate losses, such as obtaining additional collateral and/or guarantees to support the loan.

The Company has also implemented certain residential mortgage loan restructuring programs that

XBRL Paragraph Pagebreak XBRL Pagebreak Begin

U.S. Bancorp 13

END PAGE WIDTH PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

BEGIN PAGE WIDTH XBRL Pagebreak End

may result in TDRs. The Company participates in the U.S. Department of the Treasury Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”). HAMP gives qualifying homeowners an opportunity to permanently modify their loan and achieve more affordable monthly payments, with the U.S. Department of the Treasury compensating the Company for a portion of the reduction in monthly amounts due from borrowers participating in this program. The Company also modifies residential mortgage loans under Federal Housing Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, or other internal programs. Under these programs, the Company provides concessions to qualifying borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The concessions may include adjustments to interest rates, conversion of adjustable rates to fixed rates, extensions of maturity dates or deferrals of payments, capitalization of accrued interest and/or outstanding advances, or in limited situations, partial forgiveness of loan principal. In most instances, participation in residential mortgage loan restructuring programs requires the customer to complete a short-term trial period. A permanent loan modification is contingent on the customer successfully completing the trial period arrangement and the loan documents are not modified until that time. Loans in trial period arrangements are not reported as TDRs. Loans permanently modified are reported as TDRs. Loans in trial period arrangements were $96 million at September 30, 2011.

Modifications in the credit card class are generally part of a workout program providing customers modification solutions over a specified time period, generally up to 60 months. The Company also provides modification programs to qualifying customers experiencing a temporary financial hardship in which reductions are made to monthly required minimum payments for up to 12 months.

Modifications to loans in the covered segment are similar in nature to that described above for non-covered loans, and the evaluation and determination of TDR status is similar, except that acquired loans restructured after acquisition are not considered TDRs for purposes of the Company’s accounting and disclosure if the loans evidenced credit deterioration as of the acquisition date and are accounted for in pools. Losses associated with modifications on covered loans, including the economic impact of interest rate reductions, are generally eligible for reimbursement under the loss sharing agreements.

The following table provides a summary of TDRs by loan class, including the delinquency status for TDRs that continue to accrue interest and TDRs included in nonperforming assets:

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that provided clarification to the scope of determining whether loan modifications should be considered TDRs. The adoption of this guidance resulted in additional restructurings considered to be TDRs, but did not have a material impact on the Company’s allowance for credit losses.

Short-term Modifications The Company makes short-term modifications that it does not consider to be TDRs in limited circumstances to assist borrowers experiencing temporary hardships. Consumer lending programs include payment reductions, deferrals of up to three past due payments, and the ability to return to current status if the borrower makes required payments. The Company may also make short-term modifications to commercial lending loans, with the most common modification being an extension of the maturity date of three months or less. Such extensions generally are used when the maturity date is imminent and the borrower is experiencing some level of financial stress, but the Company believes the borrower will pay all contractual amounts owed.

Nonperforming Assets The level of nonperforming assets represents another indicator of the potential for future credit losses. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans not performing in accordance with modified terms, other real estate and other nonperforming assets owned by the Company, and are generally either originated by the Company or acquired under FDIC loss sharing agreements that substantially reduce the risk of credit losses to the Company. At September 30, 2011, total nonperforming assets were $4.3 billion, compared with $5.0 billion at December 31, 2010. Excluding covered assets, nonperforming assets were $3.0 billion at September 30, 2011, compared with $3.4 billion at December 31, 2010. The $315 million (9.4 percent) decline was principally in the commercial portfolio, reflecting the stabilizing economy. However, stress continued in the commercial real estate and residential mortgage portfolios due to the overall duration of the economic slowdown. Nonperforming covered assets at September 30, 2011, were $1.3 billion, compared with $1.7 billion at December 31, 2010. The ratio of total nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate was 2.11 percent (1.60 percent excluding covered assets) at September 30, 2011, compared with 2.55 percent (1.87 percent excluding covered assets) at December 31, 2010.

Analysis of Loan Net Charge-Offs Total net charge-offs were $669 million for the third quarter and $2.2 billion for the first nine months of 2011, compared with net charge-offs of $995 million and $3.2 billion for the same periods of 2010. The ratio of total loan net charge-offs to average loans outstanding on an annualized basis for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 was 1.31 percent and 1.49 percent, respectively, compared with 2.05 percent and 2.26 percent, for the same periods of 2010. The year-over-year decreases in total net charge-offs were principally due to stabilizing economic conditions. The Company expects the level of net charge-offs to continue to trend lower in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2011 were $224 million (1.01 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $378 million (1.85 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the third quarter of 2010. Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2011 were $748 million (1.17 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $1.3 billion (2.18 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the first nine months of 2010. The decreases reflected the impact of efforts to resolve and reduce exposure to problem assets in the Company’s commercial real estate portfolios and improvement in the other commercial portfolios due to the stabilizing economy.

Residential mortgage loan net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2011 were $122 million (1.42 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $132 million (1.88 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the third quarter of 2010. Residential mortgage loan net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2011 were $370 million (1.51 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $415 million (2.05 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the first nine months of 2010. Credit card loan net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2011 were $178 million (4.40 percent of average loans

outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $296 million (7.11 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the third quarter of 2010. Credit card loan net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2011 were $641 million (5.35 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $925 million (7.54 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the first nine months of 2010. Other retail loan net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2011 were $142 million (1.16 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $182 million (1.51 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the third quarter of 2010. Other retail loan net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2011 were $452 million (1.25 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $570 million (1.61 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the first nine months of 2010. The year-over-year decreases in residential mortgage, credit card and other retail loan net charge-offs reflected the impact of more stable economic conditions.

Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses reserves for probable and estimable losses incurred in the Company’s loan and lease portfolio and includes certain amounts that do not represent loss exposure to the Company because those losses are recoverable under loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. The allowance for credit losses is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. Management evaluates the allowance each quarter to ensure it appropriately reserves for incurred losses.

The allowance recorded for loans in the commercial lending segment is generally based on quarterly reviews of individual credit relationships and considers the migration analysis of commercial lending segment loans and actual loss experience. The Company currently uses an 11 year period of historical losses in considering actual loss experience. This timeframe and the results of the analysis are evaluated quarterly to determine the appropriateness. The allowance recorded for impaired loans greater than $5 million in the commercial lending segment is based on an individual loan analysis utilizing expected cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate, the observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. The allowance recorded for all other commercial lending segment loans is determined on a homogenous pool basis and includes consideration of product mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, bankruptcy experience, and historical losses, adjusted for current trends.

The allowance recorded for purchased impaired and TDR loans in the consumer lending segment is determined on a homogenous pool basis utilizing expected cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate of the pool. The allowance recorded for all other consumer lending segment loans is determined on a homogenous pool basis and includes consideration of product mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, bankruptcy experience, and historical losses, adjusted for current trends. In addition, when evaluating the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses for any loans and lines in a junior lien position, the Company considers the default and/or delinquency status of any first lien account serviced by the Company, as well as whether the first lien account has been modified by the Company. At September 30, 2011, the Company serviced the first lien on 30 percent of the home equity loans and lines in a junior lien position. The Company also considers the results of this analysis in evaluating the potential exposure to credit losses for the population of home equity loans and lines in a junior lien position where the Company does not service the first lien.

The allowance for covered segment loans is evaluated each quarter in a manner similar to that described for non-covered loans, and represents any decreases in expected cash flows on those loans after the acquisition date. The provision for credit losses for covered segment loans considers the indemnification provided by the FDIC.

The Company’s methodology for determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses for all the loan segments also considers the imprecision inherent in the methodologies used. As a result, in addition to the amounts determined under the methodologies described above, management also considers the potential impact of other qualitative factors which include, but are not limited to, economic factors; geographic and other concentration risks; delinquency and nonaccrual trends; current business conditions; changes in lending policy, underwriting standards, internal review and other relevant business practices; and the regulatory environment. The consideration of these items results in adjustments to allowance amounts included in the Company’s allowance for credit losses for each of the above loan segments.

Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Credit Losses” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on the analysis and determination of the allowance for credit losses.

At September 30, 2011, the allowance for credit losses was $5.2 billion (2.53 percent of total loans and 2.66 percent of loans excluding covered loans), compared with an allowance of $5.5 billion (2.81 percent of total loans and 3.03 percent of loans excluding covered loans) at December 31, 2010. The Company increased the allowance for credit losses by $32 million and $34 million during the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared with increases of $4 million and $76 million for the same periods of the prior year, to reflect covered loan losses reimbursable by the FDIC. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 145 percent (196 percent excluding covered loans) at September 30, 2011, compared with 136 percent (192 percent excluding covered loans) at December 31, 2010. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to annualized loan net charge-offs was 196 percent at September 30, 2011, compared with 132 percent of full year 2010 net charge-offs at December 31, 2010, as net charge-offs continue to decline due to stabilizing economic conditions.

Residual Value Risk Management The Company manages its risk to changes in the residual value of leased assets through disciplined residual valuation setting at the inception of a lease, diversification of its leased assets, regular residual asset valuation reviews and monitoring of residual value gains or losses upon the disposition of assets. As of September 30, 2011, no significant change in the amount of residual values or concentration of the portfolios had occurred since December 31, 2010. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Residual Value Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on residual value risk management.

Operational Risk Management The Company manages operational risk through a risk management framework and its internal control processes. Within this framework, the Risk Management Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors provides oversight and assesses the most significant operational risks facing the Company within its business lines. Under the guidance of the Risk Management Committee, enterprise risk management personnel establish policies and interact with business lines to monitor significant operating risks on a regular basis. Business lines have direct and primary responsibility and accountability for identifying, controlling, and monitoring operational risks embedded in their business activities. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Operational Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on operational risk management.

Interest Rate Risk Management In the banking industry, changes in interest rates are a significant risk that can impact earnings, market valuations and the safety and soundness of an entity. To minimize the volatility of net interest income and the market value of assets and liabilities, the Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates through asset and liability management activities within guidelines established by its Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) and approved by the Board of Directors. The ALCO has the responsibility for approving and ensuring compliance with the ALCO management policies, including interest rate risk exposure. The Company uses net interest income simulation analysis and market value of equity modeling for measuring and analyzing consolidated interest rate risk.

Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis Management estimates the impact on net interest income of changes in market interest rates under a number of scenarios, including gradual shifts, immediate and sustained parallel shifts, and flattening or steepening of the yield curve. The table below summarizes the projected impact to net interest income over the next 12 months of various potential interest rate changes. The ALCO policy limits the estimated change in net interest income in a gradual 200 basis point (“bps”) rate change scenario to a 4.0 percent decline of forecasted net interest income over the next 12 months. At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company was within policy. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on net interest income simulation analysis.

Market Value of Equity Modeling The Company also manages interest rate sensitivity by utilizing market value of equity modeling, which measures the degree to which the market values of the Company’s assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments will change given a change in interest rates. Management measures the impact of changes in market interest rates under a number of scenarios, including immediate and sustained parallel shifts, and flattening or steepening of the yield curve. The ALCO policy limits the change in market value of equity in a 200 bps parallel rate shock to a 15.0 percent decline. A 200 bps increase would have resulted in a 2.5 percent decrease in the market value of equity at September 30, 2011, compared with a 3.6 percent decrease at December 31, 2010. A 200 bps decrease, where possible given current rates, would have resulted in a 6.2 percent decrease in the market value of equity at September 30, 2011, compared with a 5.2 percent decrease at December 31, 2010. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Market Value of Equity Modeling” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on market value of equity modeling.

XBRL,dnap,"Derivatives Policy"

Use of Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate and Other Risks To reduce the sensitivity of earnings to interest rate, prepayment, credit, price and foreign currency fluctuations (“asset and liability management positions”), the Company enters into derivative transactions. The Company uses derivatives for asset and liability management purposes primarily in the following ways:

| • | To convert fixed-rate debt from fixed-rate payments to
floating-rate payments; |
| --- | --- |
| • | To convert the cash flows associated with floating-rate loans
and debt from floating-rate payments to fixed-rate
payments; and |
| • | To mitigate changes in value of the Company’s mortgage
origination pipeline, funded mortgage loans held for sale and
MSRs. |

To manage these risks, the Company may enter into exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivative contracts, including interest rate swaps, swaptions, futures, forwards and options. In addition, the Company enters into interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts to support the business requirements of its customers (“customer-related positions”). The Company minimizes the market and liquidity risks of customer-related positions by entering into similar offsetting positions with broker-dealers. The Company does not utilize derivatives for speculative purposes.

The Company does not designate all of the derivatives that it enters into for risk management purposes as accounting hedges because of the inefficiency of applying the accounting requirements and may instead elect fair value accounting for the related hedged items. In particular, the Company enters into U.S. Treasury futures, options on U.S. Treasury futures contracts, interest rate swaps and forward commitments to buy residential mortgage loans to mitigate fluctuations in the value of its MSRs, but does not designate those derivatives as accounting hedges.

Additionally, the Company uses forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans at specified prices to economically hedge the interest rate risk in its residential mortgage loan production activities. At September 30, 2011, the Company had $12.6 billion of forward commitments to sell mortgage loans hedging $5.2 billion of mortgage loans held for sale and $13.2 billion of unfunded mortgage loan commitments. The forward commitments to sell and the unfunded mortgage loan commitments are considered derivatives under the accounting guidance related to accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, and the Company has elected the fair value option for the mortgage loans held for sale.

Derivatives are subject to credit risk associated with counterparties to the contracts. Credit risk associated with derivatives is measured by the Company based on the probability of counterparty default. The Company manages the credit risk of its derivative positions by diversifying its positions among various counterparties, entering into master netting agreements where possible with its counterparties, requiring collateral agreements with credit-rating thresholds and, in certain cases, though insignificant, transferring the counterparty credit risk related to interest rate swaps to third-parties through the use of risk participation agreements.

For additional information on derivatives and hedging activities, refer to Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Market Risk Management In addition to interest rate risk, the Company is exposed to other forms of market risk, principally related to trading activities which support customers’ strategies to manage their own foreign currency, interest rate risk and funding activities. The ALCO established the Market Risk Committee (“MRC”), which oversees market risk management. The MRC monitors and reviews the Company’s trading positions and establishes policies for market risk management, including exposure limits for each portfolio. The Company also manages market risk of non-trading business activities, including its MSRs and loans held for sale. The Company uses a Value at Risk (“VaR”) approach to measure general market risk. Theoretically, VaR represents the statistical risk of loss

the Company has to adverse market movements over a one-day time horizon. The Company uses the Historical Simulation method to calculate VaR for its trading businesses measured at the ninety-ninth percentile using a one-year look-back period for distributions derived from past market data. The market factors used in the calculations include those pertinent to market risks inherent in the underlying trading portfolios, principally those that affect its investment grade bond trading business, foreign currency transaction business, client derivatives business, loan trading business and municipal securities business. On average, the Company expects the one-day VaR to be exceeded two to three times per year in each business. The Company monitors the effectiveness of its risk programs by back-testing the performance of its VaR models, regularly updating the historical data used by the VaR models and stress testing. If the Company were to experience market losses in excess of the estimated VaR more often than expected, the VaR models and associated assumptions would be analyzed and adjusted. The Company stress tests its market risk measurements to provide management with perspectives on market events that may not be captured by its VaR models, including worst case historical market movement combinations that have not necessarily occurred on the same date.

The average, high and low VaR amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $2 million, $4 million and $1 million, respectively, compared with $2 million, $5 million and $1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. There have been no incidents where the actual trading losses exceeded the bank-wide one-day VaR during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Liquidity Risk Management The Company’s liquidity risk management framework is designed to maintain sufficient liquidity in both normal operating environments as well as in periods of severe stress. The ALCO reviews and approves the Company’s liquidity policies and guidelines, and regularly reviews the overall liquidity position of the Company.

The Company maintains a substantial level of total available liquidity in the form of on- and off-balance sheet funding sources. These include cash at the Federal Reserve, unencumbered liquid assets, and capacity to borrow at the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Discount Window. The Company monitors liquidity risk through various metrics and reporting, including analysis of scenarios that estimate the impact of stress events on the Company’s consolidated liquidity position.

In addition to assessing liquidity risk on a consolidated basis, the Company monitors the parent company liquidity and maintains sufficient funding to meet expected parent company obligations, without access to the wholesale funding markets or dividends from subsidiaries, for 12 months when forecasted payments of common stock dividends are included and 24 months assuming dividends were reduced to zero. The parent company currently has available funds considerably greater than the amounts required to satisfy these conditions.

Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Liquidity Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on liquidity risk management.

At September 30, 2011, parent company long-term debt outstanding was $13.4 billion, compared with $13.0 billion at December 31, 2010. The $.4 billion increase was primarily due to $1.0 billion of medium-term note issuances, partially offset by $.6 billion of extinguishments of junior subordinated debentures. As of September 30, 2011, there was no parent company debt scheduled to mature in the remainder of 2011.

Federal banking laws regulate the amount of dividends that may be paid by banking subsidiaries without prior approval. The amount of dividends available to the parent company from its banking subsidiaries after meeting the regulatory capital requirements for well-capitalized banks was approximately $7.1 billion at September 30, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Off-balance sheet arrangements include any contractual arrangements to which an unconsolidated entity is a party under which the Company has an obligation to provide credit or liquidity enhancements or market risk support. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into an array of commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and various forms of guarantees that may be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.

information on these arrangements. The Company has not significantly utilized private label asset securitizations or conduits as a source of funding. Off-balance sheet arrangements also include any obligation related to a variable interest held in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, credit enhancement or market risk support. Refer to Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to the Company’s interests in variable interest entities.

Capital Management The Company is committed to managing capital to maintain strong protection for depositors and creditors and for maximum shareholder benefit. The Company also manages its capital to exceed regulatory capital requirements for well-capitalized bank holding companies. Table 9 provides a summary of regulatory capital ratios as of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010. All regulatory ratios exceeded regulatory “well-capitalized” requirements. Total U.S. Bancorp shareholders’ equity was $33.2 billion at September 30, 2011, compared with $29.5 billion at December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily the result of corporate earnings, the issuance of $.7 billion of perpetual preferred stock in exchange for the extinguishment of income trust securities and changes in unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities included in other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends and common share repurchases. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Capital Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on capital management.

The Company believes certain capital ratios in addition to regulatory capital ratios are useful in evaluating its capital adequacy. The Company’s Tier 1 common equity (using Basel I definition) and tangible common equity, as a percent of risk-weighted assets, were 8.5 percent and 8.1 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2011, compared with 7.8 percent and 7.2 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2010. The Company’s tangible common equity divided by tangible assets was 6.6 percent at September 30, 2011, compared with 6.0 percent at December 31, 2010. Additionally, the Company’s Tier 1 common as a percent of risk-weighted assets, under anticipated Basel III guidelines, was 8.2 percent at September 30, 2011, compared with 7.3 percent at December 31, 2010. Refer to “Non-Regulatory Capital Ratios” for further information regarding the calculation of these measures.

On March 18, 2011, the Company announced its Board of Directors had approved an authorization to repurchase 50 million shares of common stock through December 31, 2011. All shares repurchased during the third quarter of 2011 were repurchased under this authorization.

Designations, assignments and allocations change from time to time as management systems are enhanced, methods of evaluating performance or product lines change or business segments are realigned to better respond to the Company’s diverse customer base. During 2011, certain organization and methodology changes were made and, accordingly, 2010 results were restated and presented on a comparable basis.

Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate offers lending, equipment finance and small-ticket leasing, depository, treasury management, capital markets, foreign exchange, international trade services and other financial services to middle market, large corporate, commercial real estate, financial institution and public sector clients. Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate contributed $304 million of the Company’s net income in the third quarter and $781 million in the first nine months of 2011, or increases of $160 million and $526 million, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases were primarily driven by higher net revenue and lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.

Total net revenue increased $69 million (8.7 percent) in the third quarter and $220 million (9.5 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $26 million (5.0 percent) in the third quarter and $111 million (7.5 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The year-over-year increases in net interest income were primarily due to higher average loan and deposit balances and increases in loan fees, partially offset by the impact of declining rates on the margin benefit from deposits. Total noninterest income increased $43 million (15.6 percent) in the third quarter and $109 million (13.2 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases were primarily due to growth in commercial products revenue, including syndication and other capital markets fees, commercial leasing, foreign exchange and international trade revenue, and commercial loan fees. In addition, other revenue increased due to higher equity investment and customer-related derivative revenue.

Total noninterest expense increased $12 million (3.9 percent) in the third quarter and $66 million (7.5 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases were primarily due to higher total compensation and employee benefits expense, and increased net shared services costs. The provision for credit losses decreased $198 million (75.3 percent) in the third quarter and $672 million (65.4 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The favorable changes were primarily due to lower net charge-offs in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Nonperforming assets were $1.2 billion at September 30, 2011, $1.3 billion at June 30, 2011, and $1.8 billion at September 30, 2010. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of period-end loans were 2.01 percent at September 30, 2011, 2.22 percent at June 30, 2011, and 3.26 percent at September 30, 2010. Refer to the “Corporate Risk Profile” section for further information on factors impacting the credit quality of the loan portfolios.

Consumer and Small Business Banking Consumer and Small Business Banking delivers products and services through banking offices, telephone servicing and sales, on-line services, direct mail, ATM processing and over mobile devices. It encompasses community banking, metropolitan banking, in-store banking, small business banking, consumer lending, mortgage banking, consumer finance, workplace banking, student banking and 24-hour banking. Consumer and Small Business Banking contributed $228 million of the Company’s net income in the third quarter and $556 million in the first nine months of 2011, or increases of $1 million (.4 percent), and $16 million (3.0 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010.

Within Consumer and Small Business Banking, the retail banking division contributed $117 million of the total net income in the third quarter and $196 million in the first nine months of 2011, compared with $41 million and $108 million in the same periods of 2010. Mortgage banking contributed $111 million and $360 million of Consumer and Small Business Banking’s net income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared with $186 million and $432 million in the same periods of 2010.

Total net revenue decreased $7 million (.4 percent) in the third quarter and increased $74 million (1.4 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $18 million (1.6 percent) in the third quarter and $176 million (5.4 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The year-over-year increases in net interest income were due to higher loan and deposit volumes, partially offset by declines in the margin benefit from deposits. Total noninterest income decreased $25 million (3.4 percent) in the third quarter and $102 million (4.9 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The decline in third quarter noninterest income, compared to

the same period of 2010, was driven by a reduction in mortgage origination and sales revenue. Partially offsetting this decline was higher deposit service charges due to new account growth, higher transaction volumes and recent product redesign initiatives, partially offset by the impact of 2010 legislative and pricing changes. In addition, other income increased year-over-year due to higher retail lease residual revenue and ATM processing services income. The decline in noninterest income for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 was primarily due to reductions in mortgage origination and sales revenue, and lower deposit service charges due to the impact of 2010 legislative and pricing changes, partially offset by new account growth, higher transaction volumes and recent product redesign initiatives.

Total noninterest expense increased $56 million (5.0 percent) in the third quarter and $189 million (5.8 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases reflected higher compensation and employee benefits expense, mortgage servicing-related professional service projects, net shared services costs and net occupancy and equipment expenses related to business initiatives, partially offset by lower other intangibles expense.

The provision for credit losses decreased $62 million (15.7 percent) in the third quarter and $134 million (10.8 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, principally due to lower net charge-offs. As a percentage of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis, net charge-offs decreased to 1.16 percent in the third quarter of 2011, compared with 1.43 percent in the third quarter of 2010. Nonperforming assets were $1.6 billion at September 30, 2011, $1.7 billion at June 30, 2011, and $1.6 billion at September 30, 2010. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of period-end loans were 1.41 percent at September 30, 2011, 1.58 percent at June 30, 2011, and 1.55 percent at September 30, 2010. Refer to the “Corporate Risk Profile” section for further information on factors impacting the credit quality of the loan portfolios.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company’s two primary banking subsidiaries, U.S. Bank National Association and U.S. Bank National Association ND, entered into a Consent Order with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regarding residential mortgage servicing and foreclosure processes. The Company also entered into a related Consent Order with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Consent Orders were the result of an interagency horizontal review of the foreclosure practices of the 14 largest mortgage servicers in the United States.

The Consent Orders mandate certain changes to the Company’s mortgage servicing and foreclosure processes. Specifically, the Consent Orders require the Company, U.S. Bank National Association and U.S. Bank National Association ND to, among other things, submit a comprehensive action plan setting forth the steps necessary to ensure residential mortgage servicing and foreclosure processes are conducted in accordance with the Consent Orders; develop and implement other plans and programs to enhance residential mortgage servicing and foreclosure processes; retain an independent consultant to conduct a review of certain residential mortgage foreclosure actions and to remediate errors or deficiencies identified by the consultant; and oversee compliance with the Consent Orders and the new plans and programs. The Company has made significant progress in complying with these requirements during the last several months.

The Company has long been committed to sound modification and foreclosure practices and is committed to revising its practices where necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Consent Orders. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any outstanding issues will materially affect its financial position, results of operations, or ability to conduct normal business activities.

Wealth Management and Securities Services Wealth Management and Securities Services provides private banking, financial advisory services, investment management, retail brokerage services, insurance, trust, custody and fund servicing through five businesses: Wealth Management, Corporate Trust Services, U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Institutional Trust & Custody and Fund Services. Wealth Management and Securities Services contributed $42 million of the Company’s net income in the third quarter and $141 million in the first nine months of 2011, or decreases of $12 million (22.2 percent) and $29 million (17.1 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010. The decreases were due to lower net revenue and higher total noninterest expense, partially offset by lower provision for credit losses.

Total net revenue decreased $12 million (3.4 percent) in the third quarter and increased $8 million (.8 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $11 million (13.9 percent) in the third quarter and $44 million (20.5 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The year-over-year increases in net interest income were primarily due to higher average deposit balances, including the impact of the securitization trust

administration acquisition. Total noninterest income declined $23 million (8.3 percent) in the third quarter and $36 million (4.3 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Trust and investment management fees declined, primarily due to the sale of the long-term asset management business in the fourth quarter of 2010 and money market investment fee waivers, partially offset by the impact of the fourth quarter 2010 securitization trust administration acquisition and improved market conditions during the third quarter and first nine months of 2011. Additionally, investment product fees were higher due to increased sales volumes.

Total noninterest expense increased $20 million (7.8 percent) in the third quarter and $69 million (9.0 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases in noninterest expense were primarily due to higher compensation and employee benefits expense, higher net shared services expense and the impact of the securitization trust administration acquisition, partially offset by reductions in other intangibles expense and expenses related to the sale of the long-term asset management business.

Payment Services Payment Services includes consumer and business credit cards, stored-value cards, debit cards, corporate and purchasing card services, consumer lines of credit and merchant processing. Payment Services contributed $357 million of the Company’s net income in the third quarter and $1.0 billion in the first nine months of 2011, or increases of $140 million (64.5 percent) and $495 million (95.7 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases were primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses and higher total net revenue, partially offset by an increase in total noninterest expense.

Total net revenue increased $50 million (4.4 percent) in the third quarter and $89 million (2.7 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, decreased $1 million (.3 percent) in the third quarter and $22 million (2.2 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, primarily due to lower retail credit card average loan balances. Noninterest income increased $51 million (6.3 percent) in the third quarter and $111 million (4.7 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, primarily due to increased transaction volumes.

Total noninterest expense increased $8 million (1.7 percent) in the third quarter and $51 million (3.7 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases were driven by higher compensation and employee benefits expense and processing costs, partially offset by lower other intangibles expense. The provision for credit losses decreased $181 million (59.3 percent) in the third quarter and $752 million (66.7 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The decreases were due to lower net charge-offs and favorable changes in the reserve allocation due to improved loss rates. As a percentage of average loans outstanding, net charge-offs were 3.78 percent in the third quarter of 2011, compared with 6.08 percent in the third quarter of 2010.

Treasury and Corporate Support Treasury and Corporate Support includes the Company’s investment portfolios, most covered commercial and commercial real estate loans and related other real estate owned, funding, capital management, asset securitization, interest rate risk management, the net effect of transfer pricing related to average balances and the residual aggregate of those expenses associated with corporate activities that are managed on a consolidated basis. Treasury and Corporate Support recorded net income of $342 million in the third quarter and $1.0 billion in the first nine months of 2011, compared with $266 million in the third quarter and $861 million in the first nine months of 2010.

Total net revenue increased $108 million (25.2 percent) in the third quarter and $186 million (13.5 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $93 million (22.7 percent) in the third quarter and $77 million (5.7 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, reflecting the impact of growth in the investment portfolio, wholesale funding decisions and the Company’s asset/liability position. Total noninterest income increased $15 million (75.0 percent) in the third quarter of 2011, compared with the third quarter of 2010, due to income from sales of tax-advantaged projects and higher commercial products revenue. Total noninterest income increased $109 million in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same period of 2010, principally due to the FCB gain recorded in the first quarter of 2011 and lower net securities losses.

Total noninterest expense decreased $5 million (2.2 percent) in the third quarter and $58 million (9.3 percent) in the first nine months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, as favorable variances in net shared services expense and lower litigation and insurance costs, were partially offset by increased compensation and employee benefits expense.

Income taxes are assessed to each line of business at a managerial tax rate of 36.4 percent with the residual tax expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate included in Treasury and Corporate Support.

NON-REGULATORY CAPITAL RATIOS

In addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators, the Company considers various other measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including:

• Tangible common equity to tangible assets,
• Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets using Basel I
definition,
• Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets using
anticipated Basel III definition, and
• Tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets using Basel I
definition.

These non-regulatory capital ratios are viewed by management as useful additional methods of reflecting the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions. Additionally, presentation of these ratios allows readers to compare the Company’s capitalization to other financial services companies. These ratios differ from capital ratios defined by banking regulators principally in that the numerator excludes preferred securities, the nature and extent of which varies among different financial services companies. These ratios are not defined in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) or federal banking regulations. As a result, these non-regulatory capital ratios disclosed by the Company may be considered non-GAAP financial measures.

Because there are no standardized definitions for these non-regulatory capital ratios, the Company’s calculation methods may differ from those used by other financial services companies. Also, there may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, the Company encourages readers to consider the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this report in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure.

The following table shows the Company’s calculation of these measures:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The Company’s financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions, which are integral to understanding the Company’s financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those policies management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or complex. Most accounting policies are not considered by management to be critical accounting policies. Those policies considered to be critical accounting policies relate to the allowance for credit losses, fair value estimates, purchased loans and related indemnification assets, MSRs, goodwill and other intangibles and income taxes. Management has discussed the development and the selection of critical accounting policies with the Company’s Audit Committee. These accounting policies are discussed in detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Critical Accounting Policies” and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there was no change made in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

XBRL,body XBRL,dnap,"Basis Of Presentation Policy"

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management of U.S. Bancorp (the “Company”), all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods have been made. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Accounting policies for the lines of business are generally the same as those used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements with respect to activities specifically attributable to each business line. However, the preparation of business line results requires management to establish methodologies to allocate funding costs, expenses and other financial elements to each line of business. Table 10 “Line of Business Financial Performance” included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis provides details of segment results. This information is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2 Accounting Changes

XBRL,body XBRL,dnap,"Loans And Leases Receivable Troubled Debt Restructuring Policy"

Troubled Debt Restructurings On July 1, 2011, the Company adopted accounting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board related to identifying and disclosing troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), applicable to modifications occurring on or after January 1, 2011. This guidance provides clarification in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for the purpose of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR. The adoption of this guidance resulted in $1.4 billion of additional loan modifications considered to be TDRs which the Company had not previously considered to be impaired. The allowance for credit losses had previously been measured under a collective allowance for credit losses methodology. Under the new accounting guidance, the allowance for credit losses associated with these loans as of September 30, 2011, was $94 million. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s total allowance for credit losses.

Note 3 Business Combinations

XBRL,body

In January 2011, the Company acquired the banking operations of First Community Bank of New Mexico (“FCB”) from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FCB transaction did not include a loss sharing agreement. The Company acquired 38 branch locations and approximately $2.1 billion in assets, assumed approximately $2.1 billion in liabilities, and received approximately $412 million in cash from the FDIC. In addition, the Company recognized a $46 million gain on this transaction during the first quarter of 2011.

In 2007, the Company purchased certain structured investment securities (“SIVs”) from certain money market funds managed by an affiliate of the Company. Subsequent to the initial purchase, the Company exchanged its interest in the SIVs for a pro-rata portion of the underlying investment securities according to the applicable restructuring agreements. The SIVs and the investment securities received are collectively referred to as “SIV-related securities.”

Some of the SIV-related securities evidenced credit deterioration at the time of acquisition by the Company. Investment securities with evidence of credit deterioration at acquisition had an unpaid principal balance and fair value of $429 million and $157 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011, and $485 million and $173 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010.

The Company determined the other-than-temporary impairment recorded in earnings for securities by estimating the future cash flows of each individual security, using market information where available, and discounting the cash flows at the original effective rate of the security. Other-than-temporary impairment recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) was measured as the difference between that discounted amount and the fair value of each security. The following table includes the ranges for principal assumptions used for those available-for-sale non-agency mortgage-backed securities determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired:

| (a) | The
Company has $334 million of unrealized losses on
residential non-agency mortgage-backed securities.
Credit-related other-than-temporary impairment on these securities may occur if there is further
deterioration in underlying collateral pool performance.
Borrower defaults may increase if current economic conditions
persist or worsen. Additionally, further deterioration in home
prices may increase the severity of projected losses. |

securities are those designated as such by the issuer or those
with underlying asset characteristics and/or credit enhanacements consistent with securities designated as

The Company does not consider these unrealized losses to be credit-related. These unrealized losses primarily relate to changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to purchase. A substantial portion of securities that have unrealized losses are either corporate debt, obligations of state and political subdivisions or mortgage-backed securities issued with high investment grade credit ratings. In general, the issuers of the investment securities are contractually prohibited from prepayment at less than par, and the Company did not pay significant purchase premiums for these securities. At September 30, 2011, the Company had no plans to sell securities with unrealized losses, and believes it is more likely than not it would not be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

The Company had loans of $62.8 billion at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, pledged at the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), and loans of $46.1 billion at September 30, 2011, and $44.6 billion at December 31, 2010, pledged at the Federal Reserve Bank.

Net gains on the sale of loans of $74 million and $105 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $340 million and $308 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were included in noninterest income, primarily in mortgage banking revenue.

Originated loans are presented net of unearned interest and deferred fees and costs, which amounted to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2011, and $1.3 billion at December 31, 2010. In accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance, all purchased loans and related indemnification assets are recorded at fair value at the date of purchase. The Company evaluates purchased loans for impairment at the date of purchase in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance. Purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered “purchased impaired loans”. All other purchased loans are considered “purchased nonimpaired loans”.

Covered assets represent loans and other assets acquired from the FDIC subject to loss sharing agreements in the Downey Savings and Loan Association, F.A.; PFF Bank and Trust; and First Bank of Oak Park Corporation transactions and included expected reimbursements from the FDIC of approximately $2.4 billion at September 30, 2011 and $3.1 billion at December 31, 2010.

At September 30, 2011, $.3 billion of the purchased impaired loans included in covered loans were classified as nonperforming assets, compared with $.5 billion at December 31, 2010, because the expected cash flows are primarily based on the liquidation of underlying collateral and the timing and amount of the cash flows could not be reasonably estimated. Interest income is recognized on other purchased impaired loans through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of those loans and their expected cash flows. The initial determination of the fair value of the purchased loans includes the impact of expected credit losses and, therefore, no allowance for credit losses is recorded at the purchase date. To the extent credit deterioration occurs after the date of acquisition, the Company records an allowance for credit losses.

On the acquisition date, the estimate of the contractually required payments receivable for all purchased impaired loans acquired in the FCB transaction were $502 million, the cash flows expected to be collected were $338 million including interest, and the estimated fair values of the loans were $238 million. These amounts were determined based upon the estimated remaining life of the underlying loans, which includes the effects of estimated prepayments. For the purchased nonimpaired loans acquired in the FCB transaction, the estimate as of the acquisition date of the contractually required payments receivable were $1.2 billion, the contractual cash flows not expected to be collected were $184 million, and the estimated fair value of the loans was $828 million.

Changes in the accretable balance for all purchased impaired loans, including those acquired in the FCB transaction, were as follows:

The allowance for credit losses reserves for probable and estimable losses incurred in the Company’s loan and lease portfolio and includes certain amounts that do not represent loss exposure to the Company because those losses are recoverable under loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. The allowance for credit losses is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. Management evaluates the allowance each quarter to ensure it appropriately reserves for incurred losses.

The allowance recorded for loans in the commercial lending segment is generally based on quarterly reviews of individual credit relationships and considers the migration analysis of commercial lending segment loans and actual loss experience. The Company currently uses an 11 year period of historical losses in considering actual loss experience. This timeframe and the results of the analysis are evaluated quarterly to determine the appropriateness. The allowance recorded for impaired loans greater than $5 million in the commercial lending segment is based on an individual loan analysis utilizing expected cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate, the

observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. The allowance recorded for all other commercial lending segment loans is determined on a homogenous pool basis and includes consideration of product mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, bankruptcy experience, and historical losses, adjusted for current trends. The Company also considers the impacts of any loan modifications made to commercial lending segment loans and any subsequent payment defaults to its expectations of cash flows, principal balance, and current expectations about the borrower’s ability to pay in determining the allowance for credit losses.

The allowance recorded for purchased impaired and TDR loans in the consumer lending segment is determined on a homogenous pool basis utilizing expected cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate of the pool. The allowance recorded for all other consumer lending segment loans is determined on a homogenous pool basis and includes consideration of product mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, bankruptcy experience, and historical losses, adjusted for current trends. The Company also considers any modifications made to consumer lending segment loans including the impacts of any subsequent payment defaults since modification in determining the allowance for credit losses, such as borrower’s ability to pay under the restructured terms, and the timing and amount of payments.

The allowance for covered segment loans is evaluated each quarter in a manner similar to that described for non-covered loans and represents any decreases in expected cash flows of those loans after the acquisition date. The provision for credit losses for covered segment loans considers the indemnification provided by the FDIC.

The Company’s methodology for determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses for all the loan segments also considers the imprecision inherent in the methodologies used. As a result, in addition to the amounts determined under the methodologies described above, management also considers the potential impact of other qualitative factors which include, but are not limited to, economic factors; geographic and other concentration risks; delinquency and nonaccrual trends; current business conditions; changes in lending policy, underwriting standards, internal review and other relevant business practices; and the regulatory environment. The consideration of these items results in adjustments to allowance amounts included in the Company’s allowance for credit losses for each of the above loan segments.

The Company also assesses the credit risk associated with off-balance sheet loan commitments, letters of credit, and derivatives. Credit risk associated with derivatives is reflected in the fair values recorded for those positions. The liability for off-balance sheet credit exposure related to loan commitments and other credit guarantees is included in other liabilities. Because business processes and credit risks associated with unfunded credit commitments are essentially the same as for loans, the Company utilizes similar processes to estimate its liability for unfunded credit commitments.

Credit Quality The quality of the Company’s loan portfolios is assessed as a function of net credit losses, levels of nonperforming assets and delinquencies, and credit quality ratings as defined by the Company. These credit quality ratings are an important part of the Company’s overall credit risk management process and evaluation of its allowance for credit losses.

For all loan classes, loans are considered past due based on the number of days delinquent except for monthly amortizing loans which are classified delinquent based upon the number of contractually required payments not made (for example, two missed payments is considered 30 days delinquent).

Commercial lending segment loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal and interest has become 90 days past due or is otherwise considered doubtful. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Commercial lending segment loans are generally fully or partially charged down to the fair value of the collateral securing the loan, less costs to sell, when the loan is considered uncollectible.

Consumer lending segment loans are generally charged-off at a specific number of days or payments past due. Residential mortgages and other retail loans secured by 1-4 family properties are generally charged down to fair market value, less costs to sell, at 180 days past due, and placed on nonaccrual status in instances where a partial charge-off occurs unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Credit card loans continue to accrue interest until the account is charged off. Credit cards are charged off at 180 days past due. Other retail loans not secured by 1-4 family properties are charged-off at 120 days past due; and revolving consumer lines are charged off at 180 days past due. Similar to credit cards, other retail loans are generally not placed on nonaccrual status because of the relative short period of time to charge-off. Certain retail customers having financial difficulties may have the terms of their credit card and other loan agreements modified to require only principal payments and, as such, are reported as nonaccrual.

For all loan classes, interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally recorded as a reduction to the loan carrying amount. Interest payments recorded as reductions to a loan’s carrying amount while a loan is on nonaccrual are recognized as interest income only upon payoff of the loan. In certain circumstances, loans in any class may be restored to accrual status, such as when none of the principal and interest is past due and prospects for future payment are no longer in doubt; or the loan becomes well secured and is in the process of collection. Loans where there has been a partial charge-off may be returned to accrual status if all principal and interest (including amounts previously charged-off) is expected to be collected and the loan is current.

Covered loans not considered to be purchased impaired are evaluated for delinquency, nonaccrual status and charge-off consistent with the class of loan they would be included in had the loss share coverage not been in place. Generally, purchased impaired loans are considered accruing loans. However, the timing and amount of future cash flows for some loans is not reasonably estimable. Those loans are classified as nonaccrual loans and interest income is not recognized until the timing and amount of the future cash flows can be reasonably estimated.

The Company classifies its loan portfolios using internal credit quality ratings on a quarterly basis. These ratings include: pass, special mention and classified, and are an important part of the Company’s overall credit risk management process and evaluation of the allowance for credit losses. Loans with a pass rating represent those not classified on the Company’s rating scale for problem credits, as minimal credit risk has been identified. Special mention loans are those that have a potential weakness deserving management’s close attention. Classified loans are those where a well-defined weakness has been identified that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk. It is possible that others, given the same information, may reach different reasonable conclusions regarding the credit quality rating classification of specific loans.

For all loan classes, a loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current events or information, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due per the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include all nonaccrual and TDR loans. For all loan classes, interest income on TDR loans is recognized under the modified terms and conditions if the borrower has demonstrated repayment performance at a level commensurate with the modified terms over several payment cycles. Interest income is not recognized on other impaired loans until the loan is paid off.

Factors used by the Company in determining whether all principal and interest payments due on commercial and commercial real estate loans will be collected and therefore whether those loans are impaired, include but are not limited to, the financial condition of the borrower, collateral and/or guarantees on the loan, and the borrower’s estimated future ability to pay based on industry, geographic location and certain financial ratios. The evaluation of impairment on residential mortgages, credit card and other retail loans is primarily driven by delinquency status of individual loans or whether a loan has been modified. Individual covered loans, whose future losses are covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC that substantially reduce the risk of credit losses to the Company, are evaluated for impairment and accounted for in a manner consistent with the class of loan they would have been included in had the loss sharing coverage not been in place.

Troubled Debt Restructurings In certain circumstances, the Company may modify the terms of a loan to maximize the collection of amounts due when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties or is expected to experience difficulties in the near-term. Concessionary modifications are classified as TDRs unless the modification results in only an insignificant delay in payments to be received. The Company accrues interest on TDRs if the borrower complies with the revised terms and conditions as agreed upon with the Company and has demonstrated repayment performance at a level commensurate with the modified terms over several payment cycles. To the extent a previous restructuring was insignificant, the Company considers the cumulative effect of past restructurings related to the receivable when determining whether a current restructuring is a TDR. Loans classified as TDRs are considered impaired loans for reporting and measurement purposes.

Many of the Company’s TDRs are determined on a case-by-case basis in connection with ongoing loan collection processes. However, the Company has also implemented certain restructuring programs that may result in TDRs. The modifications made to each of the loans presented in the table above varies within each of the portfolio classes, however, generally result in revisions to interest rates, changes to payment frequency, extensions of maturity dates, forgiveness of accrued interest and/or fees, and in limited circumstances, reductions of principal.

For the commercial lending segment, modifications generally result in the Company working with borrowers on a case-by-case basis. Commercial and commercial real estate modifications generally include extensions of the maturity date and may be accompanied by an increase or decrease to the interest rate, which may not be deemed a market rate of interest. In addition, the Company may work with the borrower in identifying other changes that mitigate loss to the Company, which may include additional collateral or guarantees to support the loan. To a lesser extent, the Company may waive contractual principal. The Company classifies these concessions as TDRs to the extent the Company determines that the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty.

Modifications for the consumer lending segment are generally part of programs the Company has initiated. The Company participates in the U.S. Department of Treasury Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”). HAMP gives qualifying homeowners an opportunity to permanently modify their loan and achieve more affordable monthly payments, with the U.S. Department of Treasury compensating the Company for a portion of the reduction in monthly amounts due from borrowers participating in this program. The Company also modifies residential mortgage loans under Federal Housing Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, or other internal programs. Under these programs, the Company provides concessions to qualifying borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. The concessions may include adjustments to interest rates, conversion of adjustable rates to fixed rates, extension of maturity dates or deferrals of payments, capitalization of accrued interest and/or outstanding advances, or in limited situations, partial forgiveness of loan principal. In most instances, participation in residential mortgage loan restructuring programs requires the customer to complete a short-term trial period. A permanent loan modification is contingent on the customer successfully completing the trial period arrangement and the loan documents are not modified until that time. Loans in trial period arrangements are not reported as TDRs. Loans permanently modified are reported as TDRs. Loans in trial period arrangements were $96 million at September 30, 2011.

Credit card and other retail loan modifications are generally part of two distinct restructuring programs. The Company offers workout programs providing customers experiencing financial difficulty with modifications whereby balances may be amortized up to 60 months, and generally include waiver of fees and reduced interest rates. The Company also provides modification programs to qualifying customers experiencing a temporary financial hardship in which reductions are made to monthly required minimum payments for up to 12 months. Balances related to these programs are generally frozen, however, may be reopened upon successful exit of the program, in which account privileges may be restored.

Modifications to loans in the covered segment are similar in nature to that described above for non-covered loans, and the evaluation and determination of TDR status is similar, except that acquired loans restructured after acquisition are not considered TDRs for purposes of the Company’s accounting and disclosure if the loans evidenced credit deterioration as of the acquisition date and are accounted for in pools. Losses associated with the modification

on covered loans, including the economic impact of interest rate reductions, are generally eligible for reimbursement under the loss sharing agreements.

Note 6 Accounting For Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Variable Interest Entities

XBRL,body

The Company sells financial assets in the normal course of business. The majority of the Company’s financial asset sales are residential mortgage loan sales primarily to government-sponsored enterprises through established programs, the sale or syndication of tax-advantaged investments, commercial loan sales through participation agreements, and other individual or portfolio loan and securities sales. In accordance with the accounting guidance for asset transfers, the Company considers any ongoing involvement with transferred assets in determining whether the assets can be derecognized from the balance sheet. For loans sold under participation agreements, the Company also considers the terms of the loan participation agreement and whether they meet the definition of a participating interest and thus qualify for derecognition. With the exception of servicing and certain performance-based guarantees, the Company’s continuing involvement with financial assets sold is minimal and generally limited to market customary representation and warranty clauses. The guarantees provided to certain third-parties in connection with the sale or syndication of certain assets, primarily loan portfolios and tax-advantaged investments, are further discussed in Note 14. When the Company sells financial assets, it may retain servicing rights and/or other interests in the transferred financial assets. The gain or loss on sale depends on the previous carrying amount of the transferred financial assets and the consideration received and any liabilities incurred in exchange for the transferred assets. Upon transfer, any servicing assets and other interests that continue to be held by the Company are initially recognized at fair value. For further information on mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), refer to Note 7. The Company has no asset securitizations or similar asset-backed financing arrangements that are off-balance sheet.

The Company is involved in various entities that are considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The Company’s investments in VIEs primarily represent private investment funds or partnerships that make equity investments, provide debt financing or support community-based investments in affordable housing development entities that provide capital for communities located in low-income districts and for historic rehabilitation projects that may enable the Company to ensure regulatory compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. In addition, the Company sponsors entities to which it transfers tax-advantaged investments. The Company’s investments in these entities are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal and state income tax credits over specified time periods. The Company realized federal and state income tax credits related to these investments of $191 million and $189 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $510 million and $500 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company amortizes its investments in these entities as the tax credits are realized. Tax credit amortization expense is recorded in tax expense for investments meeting certain characteristics, and in other noninterest expense for other investments. Amortization expense recorded in tax expense was $60 million and $72 million, and in other noninterest expense was $144 million and $136 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amortization expense recorded in tax expense was $175 million and $159 million, and in other noninterest expense was $386 million and $391 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

At September 30, 2011, approximately $5.1 billion of the Company’s assets and $3.7 billion of its liabilities included on the consolidated balance sheet were related to community development and tax-advantaged investment

VIEs, compared with $3.8 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2010. The majority of the assets of these consolidated VIEs are reported in other assets, and the liabilities are reported in long-term debt. The assets of a particular VIE are the primary source of funds to settle its obligations. The creditors of the VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company’s exposure to the consolidated VIEs is generally limited to the carrying value of its variable interests plus any related tax credits previously recognized or sold to others.

In addition, the Company sponsors a conduit to which it previously transferred high-grade investment securities. The Company consolidates the conduit because of its ability to manage the activities of the conduit. At September 30, 2011, $214 million of the held-to-maturity investment securities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet related to the conduit, compared with $400 million at December 31, 2010.

The Company also sponsors a municipal bond securities tender option bond program. The Company controls the activities of the program’s entities, is entitled to the residual returns and provides credit, liquidity and remarketing arrangements to the program. As a result, the Company has consolidated the program’s entities. At September 30, 2011, $5.3 billion of available-for-sale securities and $5.3 billion of short-term borrowings on the consolidated balance sheet were related to the tender option bond program, compared with $5.3 billion of available-for-sale securities and $5.7 billion of short-term borrowings at December 31, 2010.

The Company is not required to consolidate VIEs in which it has concluded it does not have a controlling financial interest, and thus is not the primary beneficiary. In such cases, the Company does not have both the power to direct the entities’ most significant activities and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. The Company’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs ranged from less than $1 million to $70 million, with an aggregate amount of approximately $1.9 billion at September 30, 2011, and from less than $1 million to $41 million, with an aggregate amount of approximately $2.0 billion at December 31, 2010. The Company’s investments in these unconsolidated VIEs generally are carried in other assets on the balance sheet. While the Company believes potential losses from these investments are remote, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss from these unconsolidated VIEs was approximately $4.7 billion at September 30, 2011, compared with $5.0 billion at December 31, 2010. The maximum exposure to loss was primarily related to community development tax-advantaged investments and included $1.8 billion at September 30, 2011 and $1.9 billion at December 31, 2010 recorded on the Company’s balance sheet and $2.9 billion at September 30, 2011 and $3.0 billion at December 31, 2010 of previously recorded tax credits which remain subject to recapture by taxing authorities based on compliance features required to be met at the project level. The remaining amounts related to investments in private investment funds and partnerships for which the maximum exposure to loss included amounts recorded on the balance sheet and any unfunded commitments. The maximum exposure was determined by assuming a scenario where the separate investments within the individual private funds were to become worthless, and the community-based business and housing projects and related tax credits completely failed and did not meet certain government compliance requirements.

/XBRL,dn

The fair value of MSRs and their sensitivity to changes in interest rates is influenced by the mix of the servicing portfolio and characteristics of each segment of the portfolio. The Company’s servicing portfolio consists of the distinct portfolios of government-insured mortgages, conventional mortgages, and Mortgage Revenue Bond Programs (“MRBP”). The servicing portfolios are predominantly comprised of fixed-rate agency loans with limited adjustable-rate or jumbo mortgage loans. The MRBP division specializes in servicing loans made under state and local housing authority programs. These programs provide mortgages to low-income and moderate-income borrowers and are generally government-insured programs with a favorable rate subsidy, down payment and/or closing cost assistance.

Note 12 Derivative Instruments

XBRL,body

The Company recognizes all derivatives in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value as other assets or liabilities. On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as either a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (“fair value hedge”); a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”); a hedge of the volatility of an investment in foreign operations driven by changes in foreign currency exchange rates (“net investment hedge”); or a designation is not made as it is a customer-related transaction, an economic hedge for asset/liability risk management purposes or another stand-alone derivative created through the Company’s operations (“free-standing derivative”).

Of the Company’s $53.1 billion of total notional amount of asset and liability management positions at September 30, 2011, $14.9 billion was designated as a fair value, cash flow or net investment hedge. When a derivative is designated as a fair value, cash flow or net investment hedge, the Company performs an assessment, at inception and, at a minimum, quarterly thereafter, to determine the effectiveness of the derivative in offsetting changes in the value or cash flows of the hedged item(s).

Fair Value Hedges These derivatives are primarily interest rate swaps that hedge the change in fair value related to interest rate changes of underlying fixed-rate debt and junior subordinated debentures. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges, and changes in the fair value of the hedged items, are recorded in earnings. All fair value hedges were highly effective for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and the change in fair value attributed to hedge ineffectiveness was not material.

Cash Flow Hedges These derivatives are interest rate swaps that are hedges of the forecasted cash flows from the underlying variable-rate loans and debt. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until expense from the cash flows of the hedged items is realized. If a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is terminated or ceases to be highly effective, the gain or loss in other comprehensive income (loss) is amortized to earnings over the period the forecasted hedged transactions impact earnings. If a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable, hedge accounting is ceased and any gain or loss included in other comprehensive income (loss) is reported in earnings immediately, unless the forecasted transaction is at least reasonably possible of occurring, whereby the amounts within other comprehensive income (loss) remain. At September 30, 2011, the Company had $510 million (net-of-tax) of realized and unrealized losses on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), compared with $414 million (net-of-tax) at December 31, 2010. The estimated amounts to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the remainder of 2011 and the next 12 months are losses of $34 million (net-of-tax) and $129 million (net-of-tax), respectively. This includes gains and losses related to hedges that were terminated early for which the forecasted transactions are still probable. All cash flow hedges were highly effective for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and the change in fair value attributed to hedge ineffectiveness was not material.

Net Investment Hedges The Company uses forward commitments to sell specified amounts of certain foreign currencies to hedge the volatility of its investment in foreign operations driven by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The ineffectiveness on all net investment hedges was not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Other Derivative Positions The Company enters into free-standing derivatives to mitigate interest rate risk and for other risk management purposes. These derivatives include forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans, which are used to economically hedge the interest rate risk related to residential mortgage loans held for sale. The Company also enters into U.S. Treasury futures, options on U.S. Treasury futures contracts, interest rate swaps and forward commitments to buy residential mortgage loans to economically hedge the change in the fair value of the Company’s residential MSRs. In addition, the Company acts as a seller and buyer of interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange contracts for its customers. To mitigate the market and liquidity risk associated with these customer derivatives, the Company enters into similar offsetting positions with broker-dealers. The Company also has derivative contracts that are created through its operations, including commitments to originate mortgage loans held for sale and certain derivative financial guarantee contracts.

For additional information on the Company’s purpose for entering into derivative transactions and its overall risk management strategies, refer to “Management Discussion and Analysis — Use of Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate and Other Risks” which is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note: The fair value of asset and liability derivatives are included in Other assets and Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, respectively.

(a) Represents netting of derivative asset and liability balances, and related collateral, with the same counterparty subject to master netting agreements. Authoritative accounting guidance permits the netting of derivative receivables and payables when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists between the Company and a derivative counterparty. A master netting agreement is an agreement between two counterparties who have multiple derivative contracts with each other that provide for the net settlement of contracts through a single payment, in a single currency, in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. At September 30, 2011, the amount of cash and money market investments collateral posted by counterparties that was netted against derivative assets was $111 million and the amount of cash collateral posted by the Company that was netted against derivative liabilities was $1.4 billion. At December 31, 2010, the amount of cash and money market investments collateral posted by counterparties that was netted against derivative assets was $55 million and the amount of cash collateral posted by the Company that was netted against derivative liabilities was $936 million.

Derivatives are subject to credit risk associated with counterparties to the derivative contracts. The Company measures that credit risk based on its assessment of the probability of counterparty default and includes that within the fair value of the derivative. The Company manages counterparty credit risk through diversification of its derivative positions among various counterparties, by entering into master netting agreements where possible and by requiring collateral agreements which allow the Company to call for immediate, full collateral coverage when credit-rating thresholds are triggered by counterparties.

The Company’s collateral agreements are bilateral and, therefore, contain provisions that require collateralization of the Company’s net liability derivative positions. Required collateral coverage is based on certain net liability thresholds and contingent upon the Company’s credit rating from two of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. If the Company’s credit rating were to fall below credit ratings thresholds established in the collateral agreements, the counterparties to the derivatives could request immediate full collateral coverage for derivatives in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivatives under collateral agreements that were in a net liability position at September 30, 2011, was $2.0 billion. At September 30, 2011, the Company had $1.4 billion of cash posted as collateral against this net liability position.

Note 13 Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

XBRL,body

The Company uses fair value measurements for the initial recording of certain assets and liabilities, periodic remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities, and disclosures. Derivatives, trading and available-for-sale investment securities, certain mortgage loans held for sale (“MLHFS”) and MSRs are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-fair value accounting or impairment write-downs of individual assets.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement reflects all of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset, and the risk of nonperformance.

The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy for valuation techniques used to measure financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:

| • | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 includes U.S.
Treasury and exchange-traded instruments. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Level 2 — Observable inputs other than
Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data for substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes debt securities
that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments
and which are valued using third-party pricing services;
derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing
model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be
derived principally from or corroborated by observable market
data; and MLHFS whose values are determined using quoted prices
for similar assets or pricing models with inputs that are
observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable
market data. |
| • | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported
by little or no market activity and that are significant to the
fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and
liabilities include financial instruments whose values are
determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow
methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for
which the determination of fair value requires significant
management judgment or estimation. This category includes
residential MSRs, certain debt securities, including the
Company’s SIV-related securities and non-agency
mortgage-backed securities, and certain derivative contracts. |

When the Company changes its valuation inputs for measuring financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value, either due to changes in current market conditions or other factors, it may need to transfer those assets or liabilities to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Company recognizes these transfers at the end of the reporting period that the transfers occur. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no significant transfers of financial assets or financial liabilities between the hierarchy levels.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure financial assets and liabilities at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value as required under disclosure guidance related to the fair value of financial instruments. In addition, for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the following section includes an indication of the level of the fair value hierarchy in which the assets or liabilities are classified. Where appropriate, the description includes information about the valuation models and key inputs to those models.

Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying value of cash, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements was assumed to approximate fair value.

Investment Securities When available, quoted market prices are used to determine the fair value of investment securities and such items are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

For other securities, the Company determines fair value based on various sources and may apply matrix pricing with observable prices for similar securities where a price for the identical security is not observable. Prices are verified, where possible, to prices of observable market trades as obtained from independent sources. Securities measured at fair value by such methods are classified within Level 2.

The fair value of securities for which there are no market trades, or where trading is inactive as compared to normal market activity, are classified within Level 3. Securities classified within Level 3 include non-agency mortgage-backed securities, certain asset-backed securities, certain collateralized debt obligations and collateralized loan obligations, certain corporate debt securities and SIV-related securities. Due to the limited number of trades of non-agency mortgage-backed securities and lack of reliable evidence about transaction prices, the Company determines the fair value of these securities using a cash flow methodology and incorporating observable market information, where available.

Cash flow methodologies and other market valuation techniques involving management judgment use assumptions regarding housing prices, interest rates and borrower performance. Inputs are refined and updated to reflect market developments. The primary valuation drivers of these securities are the prepayment rates, default rates and default severities associated with the underlying collateral, as well as the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the projected cash flows.

The following table shows the valuation assumption ranges for Level 3 available-for-sale non-agency mortgage-backed securities:

Certain mortgage loans held for sale MLHFS measured at fair value, for which an active secondary market and readily available market prices exist, are initially valued at the transaction price and are subsequently valued by comparison to instruments with similar collateral and risk profiles. MLHFS are classified within Level 2. Included in mortgage banking revenue was a $98 million net gain and a $26 million net loss, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a $38 million net loss and a $100 million net gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, from the changes to fair value of these MLHFS under fair value option accounting guidance. Changes in fair value due to instrument specific credit risk were immaterial. The fair value of MLHFS was $5.2 billion as of September 30, 2011, which exceeded the unpaid principal balance by $242 million as of that date. Interest income for MLHFS is measured based on contractual interest rates and reported as interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Electing to measure MLHFS at fair value reduces certain timing differences and better matches changes in fair value of these assets with changes in the value of the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting.

Loans The loan portfolio includes adjustable and fixed-rate loans, the fair value of which was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and other valuation techniques. The expected cash flows of loans considered historical prepayment experiences and estimated credit losses for nonperforming loans and were discounted using current rates offered to borrowers of similar credit characteristics. Generally, loan fair values reflect Level 3 information.

Mortgage servicing rights MSRs are valued using a cash flow methodology and third-party prices, if available. Accordingly, MSRs are classified within Level 3. The Company determines fair value by estimating the present value of the asset’s future cash flows using market-based prepayment rates, discount rates, and other assumptions validated through comparison to trade information, industry surveys, and independent third-party valuations. Risks inherent in MSRs valuation include higher than expected prepayment rates and/or delayed receipt of cash flows.

Derivatives Exchange-traded derivatives are measured at fair value based on quoted market (i.e., exchange) prices. Because prices are available for the identical instrument in an active market, these fair values are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The majority of derivatives held by the Company are executed over-the-counter and are valued using standard cash flow, Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo valuation techniques. The models incorporate inputs, depending on the type of derivative, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates and volatility. In addition, all derivative values incorporate an assessment of the risk of counterparty nonperformance, measured based on the Company’s evaluation of credit risk as well as external assessments of credit risk, where available. In its assessment of nonperformance risk, the Company considers its ability to net derivative positions under master netting agreements, as well as collateral received or provided under collateral support agreements. The majority of these derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the significant inputs to the models are observable. An exception to the Level 2 classification is certain derivative transactions for which the risk of nonperformance cannot be observed in the market. These derivatives are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, commitments to sell, purchase and originate mortgage loans that meet the requirements of a derivative, are valued by pricing models that include market observable and unobservable inputs. Due to the significant unobservable inputs, these commitments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Deposit Liabilities The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposit was estimated by discounting the contractual cash flow using current market rates.

Short-term Borrowings Federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, commercial paper and other short-term funds borrowed have floating rates or short-term maturities. The fair value of short-term borrowings was determined by discounting contractual cash flows using current market rates.

Long-term Debt The fair value for most long-term debt was determined by discounting contractual cash flows using current market rates. Junior subordinated debt instruments were valued using market quotes.

Loan Commitments, Letters of Credit and Guarantees The fair value of commitments, letters of credit and guarantees represents the estimated costs to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with a third-party. The fair value of residential mortgage commitments is estimated based on observable and unobservable inputs. Other loan commitments, letters of credit and guarantees are not actively traded, and the Company estimates their fair value based on the related amount of unamortized deferred commitment fees adjusted for the probable losses for these arrangements.

XBRL,body

Visa Restructuring and Card Association Litigation The Company’s payment services business issues and acquires credit and debit card transactions through the Visa U.S.A. Inc. card association or its affiliates (collectively “Visa”). In 2007, Visa completed a restructuring and issued shares of Visa Inc. common stock to its financial institution members in contemplation of its initial public offering (“IPO”) completed in the first quarter of 2008 (the “Visa Reorganization”). As a part of the Visa Reorganization, the Company received its proportionate number of shares of Visa Inc. common stock, which were subsequently converted to Class B shares of Visa Inc. (“Class B shares”). The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants along with Visa U.S.A. Inc. (“Visa U.S.A.”) and MasterCard International (collectively, the “Card Associations”), as well as several other banks, in antitrust lawsuits challenging the practices of the Card Associations (the “Visa Litigation”). Visa U.S.A. member banks have a contingent obligation to indemnify Visa Inc. under the Visa U.S.A. bylaws (which were modified at the time of the restructuring in October 2007) for potential losses arising from the Visa Litigation. The indemnification by the Visa U.S.A. member banks has no specific maximum amount. The Company has also entered into judgment and loss sharing agreements with Visa U.S.A. and certain other banks in order to apportion financial responsibilities arising from any potential adverse judgment or negotiated settlements related to the Visa Litigation.

In 2007 and 2008, Visa announced settlement agreements relating to certain of the Visa Litigation matters. Visa U.S.A. member banks remain obligated to indemnify Visa Inc. for potential losses arising from the remaining Visa Litigation. Using proceeds from its IPO and through subsequent reductions to the conversion ratio applicable to the Class B shares held by Visa U.S.A. member banks, Visa Inc. has established an escrow account for the benefit of member financial institutions to fund the expenses of the Visa Litigation, as well as the members’ proportionate share of any judgments or settlements that may arise out of the Visa Litigation. The receivable related to the escrow account is classified in other liabilities as a direct offset to the related Visa Litigation contingent liability, and will decline as amounts are paid out of the escrow account. During the first quarter of 2011, Visa deposited additional funds into the escrow account and further reduced the conversion ratio applicable to the Class B shares. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $22 million during the first quarter of 2011 related to the effective repurchase of a portion of the Class B shares.

At September 30, 2011, the carrying amount of the Company’s liability related to the remaining Visa Litigation matters, was $29 million. Class B shares are non-transferable, except for transfers to other Visa U.S.A. member banks. The remaining Class B shares held by the Company will be eligible for conversion to Class A shares upon settlement of the Visa Litigation.

The following table is a summary of other guarantees and contingent liabilities of the Company at September 30, 2011:

XBRL,dn,"Summary Of Other Guarantees And Contingent Liabilities Table"

Maximum
Potential
Collateral Carrying Future
(Dollars in Millions) Held Amount Payments
Standby letters of credit $ – $ 94 $ 18,760
Third-party borrowing arrangements – – 127
Securities lending indemnifications 8,973 – 8,569

Merchant processing 680 73 77,914
Contingent consideration arrangements – 5 5
Minimum revenue guarantees – 22 37
Other 5,336 15 8,552

(a) The maximum potential future payments do not include loan sales where the Company provides standard representation and warranties to the buyer against losses related to loan underwriting documentation defects that existed at the time of sale that generally are identified after the occurrence of a triggering event such as delinquency. For these types of loan sales, the maximum potential future payments is generally the unpaid principal balance of loans sold measured at the end of the current reporting period . Actual losses will be significantly less than the maximum exposure, as only a fraction of loans sold will have a representation and warranty breach, and any losses on repurchase would generally be mitigated as the loans are typically collateralized.

/XBRL,dn

Merchant Processing The Company, through its subsidiaries, provides merchant processing services. Under the rules of credit card associations, a merchant processor retains a contingent liability for credit card transactions processed. This contingent liability arises in the event of a billing dispute between the merchant and a cardholder that is ultimately resolved in the cardholder’s favor. In this situation, the transaction is “charged-back” to the merchant and the disputed amount is credited or otherwise refunded to the cardholder. If the Company is unable to collect this amount from the merchant, it bears the loss for the amount of the refund paid to the cardholder.

The Company currently processes card transactions in the United States, Canada and Europe for airline companies. In the event of liquidation of these merchants, the Company could become financially liable for refunding tickets purchased through the credit card associations under the charge-back provisions. Charge-back risk related to these merchants is evaluated in a manner similar to credit risk assessments and, as such, merchant processing contracts contain various provisions to protect the Company in the event of default. At September 30, 2011, the value of airline tickets purchased to be delivered at a future date was $5.8 billion. The Company held collateral of $526 million in escrow deposits, letters of credit and indemnities from financial institutions, and liens on various assets.

Asset Sales The Company regularly sells loans to government-sponsored entities (“GSEs”) as part of its mortgage banking activities. The Company provides customary representation and warranties to the GSEs in conjunction with these sales. These representations and warranties generally require the Company to repurchase assets if it is subsequently determined that a loan did not meet specified criteria, such as a documentation deficiency or rescission of mortgage insurance. If the Company is unable to cure or refute a repurchase request, the Company is generally obligated to repurchase the loan or otherwise reimburse the counterparty for losses. The Company has been receiving repurchase requests from the GSEs. At September 30, 2011, the Company had reserved $162 million for potential losses from representation and warranty obligations. The Company’s reserve reflects Management’s best estimate of losses for representation and warranty obligations. The Company’s reserving methodology uses current information about investor repurchase requests, and various assumptions such as defect rate, concur rate, repurchase mix, and loss severity, based upon the Company’s most recent loss trends. The Company also considers qualitative factors that may result in anticipated losses different from historical loss trends, such as loan vintage, underwriting characteristics and macroeconomic trends.

/XBRL,dn

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $115 million and $165 million, respectively, of unresolved representation and warranty claims with the GSEs. The Company does not have a significant amount of unresolved claims from investors other than the GSEs.

Checking Account Overdraft Fee Litigation The Company is a defendant in three separate cases primarily challenging the Company’s daily ordering of debit transactions posted to customer checking accounts for the period from 2003 to 2010. The plaintiffs have requested class action treatment; however, no class has been certified. The court has denied a motion by the Company to dismiss these cases. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses against these matters, including class certification. As these cases are in the early stages and no damages have been specified, no specific loss range or range of loss can be determined currently.

Other During the second quarter of 2011, the Company and its two primary banking subsidiaries entered into Consent Orders with U.S. federal banking regulators regarding the Company’s residential mortgage servicing and foreclosure processes. The Company has not been notified of any monetary penalty related to the Consent Orders, however, the Consent Orders could result in fines, penalties, restitutions or other alterations to the Company’s business practices. Other governmental authorities are reported to be discussing various actions with certain mortgage servicers, although the Company has not been notified of any pending regulatory actions or penalties beyond the Consent Orders. Such actions could also lead to fines, settlements or alterations in business practices.

The Company is subject to various other litigation, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its businesses. Due to their complex nature, it may be years before some matters are resolved. While it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate resolution or range of financial liability with respect to these contingent matters, the Company believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

For additional information on the nature of the Company’s guarantees and contingent liabilities, refer to Note 22 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
