PFS has continued to monitor and focus on depositor behavior and borrowing capacity with the FHLBNY and FRBNY, with current borrowing capacity of $1.72 billion and $1.33 billion, respectively as of March 31, 2024. All borrowing capacity is immediately available. PFS’ estimated uninsured and uncollateralized deposits at March 31, 2024 totaled $2.49 billion, or 24.7% of deposits LBAI’s estimated uninsured and uncollateralized deposits at March 31, 2024 totaled $2.30 billion, or 27.1% of deposits 35
