Key Details

• Par amount: $10,000,000; coupon: 4.65% (fixed, constant coupon).
• Important dates: Trade Date 4/1/2026; Settlement Date 4/15/2026; Maturity 4/15/2031; Next Call Date 7/15/2026; Next Pay Date 10/15/2026.
• Call feature: Optional Principal Redemption (Bermudan) — the Bank may redeem on specified recurring dates.
• Regulatory context: Consolidated obligations are joint and several obligations of the eleven Federal Home Loan Banks, are sold through the Office of Finance, and are backed only by the FHLBs’ financial resources (not guaranteed by the U.S. government). The filing notes Schedule A excludes short-term discount notes (≤1 year) and that par amounts may differ from GAAP-reported carrying amounts.

Why It Matters
This filing reports a routine capital‑markets funding transaction that affects the Bank’s borrowed funding and liquidity profile. For investors, the 4.65% five‑year fixed coupon and the $10 million size show the Bank’s current cost and use of market debt financing; the Bermudan call gives the Bank flexibility to redeem early. Because consolidated obligations are joint obligations of all Federal Home Loan Banks and are not U.S. government‑guaranteed, the credit depends on the collective financial resources of the FHLBs rather than a sovereign guarantee.
