INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF
Report of Selected Money
Market Rates
FR 2420
Introduction
The Report of Selected Money Market Rates
(FR 2420) is filed on a daily basis and collects data on
transactions in selected money market instruments
that were executed by banking institutions on the
report date. The report is comprised of four parts.
Part A collects data on federal funds purchased. Part B
collects data on Eurodollars. Part C collects data on
time deposits and certificates of deposit issued by
domestic offices. Part D collects data on selected
deposits.
Purpose
The FR 2420 is used to monitor market activity in
selected money market instruments. The data are also
aggregated to create rate or volume statistics for
publication.
Authority
The FR 2420 reports are authorized by law (12 U.S.C.
248(a) and 12 U.S.C. § 3105(c)).
Confidentiality
The Federal Reserve Board regards the individual
reporting institution information provided by each
respondent as confidential (5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4)). The
Federal Reserve, however, publishes aggregate or sum-
mary information in a way that does not reveal an indi-
vidual reporting institution’s confidential information.
If it should be determined subsequently that any indi-
vidual information collected on this form must be
released, the reporting institution will be notified.
General Instructions
Institutions Required to Report
The following banking institutions must file the
FR 2420 on a daily basis:
(1) U.S. Depository Institutions
U.S. depository institutions are required to report
the FR 2420 if they meet one of two criteria:
(a) Asset-Size Criterion:
Every U.S. depository institution with total
assets of $18 billion or more as of the most
recent September 30 filing of the
FFIEC 31 or FFIEC 041 Report (Call
Report) is required to report the FR 2420.
(b) Activity Criterion:
Every U.S. depository institution with total
assets of $5 billion or more but less than
$18 billion as of the most recent filing of the
FFIEC 31 or FFIEC 041 Report (Call
Report) and federal funds purchased activity
(as described in Part A) totalling more than
$200 million on two or more days over the
preceding three months is required to report
the FR 2420.
(2) U.S. Branches and Agencies of a Foreign Bank
Every U.S. branch and agency of a foreign bank
with total third party assets of $2.5 billion or
more as of the most recent September 30 filing of
the FFIEC 002 report (Call Report) is required to
report on the FR 2420. Total third party assets
are calculated by taking the value reported in the
FFIEC 002 report in Schedule RAL, Item 3, Col-
umn A, and subtracting from it the value reported
in the FFIEC 002 report in Schedule RAL,
Item 2.a.
Note: Terms defined in the Glossary are hyperlinked throughout these
instructions.
GEN-1
FR 2420 September 2022
(3) International Banking Facilities
Each International Banking Facility (IBF) of a
U.S. depository institution or of a U.S. branch or
agency of a foreign bank that is required to report
the FR 2420 must report a separate
FR 2420 report for Part B (Eurodollars) only.
(4) Significant Banking Institution
The Federal Reserve may designate any banking
institution that is a participant in money markets
and whose data are important to the analysis and
monitoring of market activity as a “significant
banking institution” even if it does not meet the
asset-size or activity criteria for FR 2420 report-
ing. A significant banking institution will be
expected to begin to report on the FR 2420 within
three months of its designation.
Changes in Reporting Status
Changes to a respondent’s reporting status based on
the asset-size criterion or activity criterion are gov-
erned as follows:
(1) Changes Based on the Asset-Size Criterion
If a U.S. depository institution or U.S. branch or
agency of a foreign bank that does not currently
report on the FR 2420 meets the asset-size report-
ing criterion based on the most recent September
filing of the Call Report, the U.S. depository
institution or U.S. branch or agency of a foreign
bank must begin to report on the FR 2420 effec-
tive January 1 of the following year.
If a U.S. depository institution or U.S. branch or
agency of a foreign bank that reports on the
FR 2420 subsequently falls below the asset-size
criterion based on the most recent September fil-
ing of the Call Report, the U.S. depository insti-
tution or U.S. branch or agency of a foreign bank
must continue to report on the FR 2420 through
the December 31 report date.
(2) Changes Based on the Activity Criterion
If a U.S. depository institution that does not cur-
rently report on the FR 2420 meets the asset-size
criterion of total assets of $5 billion or more but
less than $18 billion based on the most recent fil-
ing of the Call Report, and has federal funds pur-
chased activity totalling more than $200 million
on two or more days over the preceding three
months, the U.S. depository institution is
required to begin to report on the FR 2420 effec-
tive no later than three months after meeting the
activity threshold. U.S. depository institutions
who meet the activity threshold for the first time
should contact the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York’s Data and Statistics Function to discuss
plans to begin reporting.
If a U.S. depository institution that reports on the
FR 2420 meets the asset-size threshold of total
assets of $5 billion or more but less than $18 bil-
lion but subsequently falls below the activity crite-
rion, the U.S. depository institution must con-
tinue to report until the activity criterion is not
met for twelve consecutive months. Requests for a
change in reporting status based on a U.S. deposi-
tory institution’s federal funds purchased activity
falling below the activity threshold should be
made in writing and submitted to the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York’s Data and Statistics
Function.

Where to File Reports
Reports must be filed using the Federal Reserve
System’s Reporting Central application. The Federal
Reserve Bank of New York will provide technical assis-
tance to any respondent requiring guidance on using
Reporting Central. The Reporting Central application
can be accessed at the following location: https://
www.federalreserve.org/reportingcentral/
DataEntryWeb/home.do.
Additional information on the Reporting Central
application can be found at the following link: https://
www.frbservices.org/central-bank/reporting-central/.
Preparation of FR 2420 Reports
Report Individual Transaction Level Data
Respondents must report the information specified on
the FR 2420 report for each individual transaction that
was executed on the report date as of the close of busi-
ness for that report date. Please see the Glossary under
close of business for important additional information.
Respondents must consolidate into the FR 2420 report
the transaction data of their foreign or domestic offices
as specified in the Rules of Consolidation below. Each
transaction executed and settled on the report date and
each transaction for which the terms were agreed upon
on the report date that are scheduled to settle on a
future date must be reported individually with the
exact terms for that specific transaction.
Dollar Denomination
All dollar amounts on the FR 2420 are to be reported
in millions of U.S. dollars, with amounts rounded to
the nearest million U.S. dollars. Transactions executed
with a dollar value less than $1 million should not be
reported.
Arm’s Length Transactions
Only arm’s length transactions are to be reported on all
parts of the FR 2420.
Counterparty Type
For each Part of the FR 2420 report, the counterparty
type for each transaction must be reported. See counter-
party types in the Glossary. Each counterparty type
has a corresponding numerical value. The numerical
values and counterparty type descriptions are consis-
tent across all Parts of the report.
Transaction Date and Forward Starting Transactions
Respondents must report all transactions in all Parts
of the FR 2420 on the trade date, regardless of when
the transactions settle; including forward starting
transactions.
Rules of Consolidation
(1) U.S. Depository Institutions:
For Part A, Part C, and Part D, a U.S. depository
institution with foreign offices must include in the
U.S. depository institution’s FR 2420 report indi-
vidual transactions data for all domestic branches
and majority-owned domestic subsidiaries whose
data are included in the institution’s
FFIEC 031 according to the FFIEC 031 Instruc-
tions for consolidation of those domestic offices.
For Part A, Part C, and Part D, a U.S. depository
institution with domestic offices only must
include in the U.S. depository institution’s
FR 2420 report individual transactions data for

General Instructions
GEN-3
FR 2420 October 2018
(2) U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks:
For Part A, Part C, and Part D, U.S. branches
and agencies of a foreign bank must follow the
FFIEC 002 instructions for consolidation to
determine which activity to report. That is, each
designated branch or agency of a foreign bank
must file a separate FR 2420 report.
For Part B, U.S. branches and agencies of a for-
eign bank must report all Eurodollars for Cay-
man and Nassau branches. U.S. branches and
agencies of a foreign bank are to report either:
•
All Eurodollars for each significant Cayman
and Nassau branch; or

All Eurodollars for all Cayman and Nassau
branches
(3) All reporting institutions, including U.S. Deposi-
tory Institutions, U.S. Branches and Agencies of
Foreign Banks, International Banking Facilities,
and Significant Banking Institutions, are not to
consolidate:
(a) Affiliate transactions:
Transactions between the reporting institu-
tion and its affiliates are excluded from all
parts of the FR 2420.
(b) Intercompany transactions (transactions
with related parties):
All intercompany transactions are excluded
from all parts of the FR 2420.
Amended Reports
The Federal Reserve will require the filing of amended
reports if reports as previously submitted contain mis-
statements, omissions, or errors. In addition, a report-
ing institution should file an amended report when
misstatements or errors are found by the reporting
institution, for example, after the review of data or
through an audit. Please contact the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York’s Data and Statistics Function con-
cerning amended reports. Respondents must submit
amended reports using the Federal Reserve System’s
Reporting Central application.
Federal Reserve Bank staff thoroughly review data
submitted on the FR 2420 report to ensure that the
data are accurate. As a result of that review, Federal
Reserve Bank staff may ask reporting institutions to
provide an explanation for certain transactions includ-
ing the reason behind specific data reported, and, if
reported data are misstated or incorrect, Federal
Reserve Bank staff will ask the institution to submit
revisions. Since these data are extremely time sensitive,
reporting institutions should respond as quickly as
possible to these requests.

eral for a loan)
Reporting Instructions:
Matching Terms: Each transaction is to be reported
separately, even when all terms of the time deposits
issued match.
Brokered Deposits: Transactions such as brokered
deposits, where each deposit is placed by a third party
after the time deposit is executed, are to be reported as
one transaction.
Renewal of Existing Time Deposit: Report the renewal
of an existing time deposit on the day it becomes out-
standing with its new terms.
Floating Rate Time Deposits: For floating rate time
deposits, report only on the date the time deposit is
executed, regardless of changes in the terms of the time
deposit before its maturity.
Open Time Deposits: Open time deposits are reported
on the report date the open time deposit was executed
and then again on each report date that the open time
deposit has a change in any of the terms, including the
interest rate or the dollar amount.
Alternatively, a reporting institution may opt to report
open time deposits on each report date instead of
monitoring for changes in terms if this option is more
convenient for the institution’s operations or internal
reporting framework.
Item Instructions
Dollar Amount
Report the dollar amount, denominated in millions of
U.S. dollars, of each time deposit as of the date the
time deposit is executed (i.e., the date the terms are
agreed on) even if the funds are made available to the
reporting institution on a subsequent date. Report the
dollar amount that is made available to the reporting

C-1
FR 2420 October 2018
Trade Date
Report the trade date of each transaction in
YYYYMMDD format.
Settlement Date
Report the settlement date of each transaction in
YYYYMMDD format.
Maturity Date
Report the maturity date of each transaction in
YYYYMMDD format. In cases where the time
deposit does not have a specific maturity date, (i.e.
open time deposits), enter the maturity date as
99991231.
Interest Rate
Report the interest rate applicable to the transaction.
The interest rate should always be reported as a percent
expressed out to five decimal places with a leading zero
if the interest rate is less than one percent. Negative
interest rates are to be preceded with a minus (-) sign.
For examples of how to report interest rates, see the
Glossary under interest rate.
For floating rate time deposits with a reference rate,
report the interest rate (including any spread) appli-
cable at the inception of the transaction. If the effective
interest rate cannot be calculated on the report date,
report zero.
Day-Count Convention
Enter the numerical value below that describes the day-
count convention used to calculate the reported inter-
est rate of the transaction.
0. Actual / 360
1. Actual / 365
2. 30 / 360
3. 30 / 365
4. Actual / Actual
5. Other
Spread
Floating Interest Rate Time Deposit: If the interest rate
for a floating rate time deposit is determined by the
value of the reference rate PLUS or MINUS a spread,
report the amount of the spread in percent terms,
expressed to two decimal places with a leading zero if
the spread is less than 100 basis points. When a nega-
tive entry occurs for the spread item, the spread is to be
preceded with a minus (−) sign.
•
Example 1: A time deposit with a floating interest
rate is referenced to 1 month LIBOR plus 30 basis
points. In this case, the spread would be reported as
0.30.
•
Example 2: A time deposit with a floating interest
rate is referenced to 1 month LIBOR minus 30 basis
points. In this case, the spread would be reported as
-0.30.
•
Example 3: A time deposit with a floating interest
rate is referenced to 1 month LIBOR plus 125 basis
points. In this case, the spread would be reported as

Fixed and Floating Interest Rates
Fixed Interest Rate:
A CD or time deposit with a fixed interest rate has a
rate that is specified at the origination of the transac-
tion, is fixed and invariable during the term, and is
known to both the borrower and the lender.
Also treated as having a fixed interest rate is a CD or
time deposit with a predetermined interest rate which is
a rate that changes during the term of the CD or time
deposit on a predetermined basis (i.e., there is a prede-
termined reset at which time the interest rate changes
to a predetermined rate which was set at origination).
The exact rate of interest over the life of the CD or
time deposit is known with certainty to both the bor-
rower and the lender at the origination of the CD or
time deposit.
Floating Interest Rate:
A CD or time deposit with a floating rate has a rate
that varies, or can vary, in relation to an index, to some
other interest rate such as the rate on certain U.S. Gov-
ernment securities or the “prime rate,” or to some
Glossary
GL-6
October 2018 FR 2420
other variable criterion the exact value of which cannot
be known in advance. Therefore, the exact rate the CD
or time deposit carries at any subsequent time cannot
be known at the time of origination.
Foreign Office
A branch or consolidated subsidiary located in a for-
eign country (non-U.S.), or in Puerto Rico or a U.S.
territory or possession. Branches on U.S. military
facilities, wherever located, are treated as domestic
offices, not foreign offices.
Forward Starting Transaction
A forward starting transaction is a transaction that
does not settle until a future date.
Interest Rate
An interest rate reported on the FR 2420 should be
reported as a percent expressed out to five decimal
places with a leading 0 if the rate is less than one per-
cent. A negative interest rate is to be preceded with a
minus (-) sign.
•
Example 1: An interest rate of 2.53 percent would be
reported as 2.53000.
•
Example 2: An interest rate of ½ percent would be
reported as 0.50000.
•
Example 3: A negative interest rate of -1.0 percent
would be reported as -1.00000.
International Banking Facility (IBF)
An International Banking Facility (IBF) is a set of
asset and liability accounts, segregated on the books
and records of the establishing entity, which reflect
international transactions. An IBF is established in
accordance with the terms of Federal Reserve Regula-
tion D (Section 204.8) and after appropriate notifica-
tion to the Federal Reserve. The establishing entity may
be a U.S. depository institution, a U.S. office of an
Edge Act or Agreement corporation, or a U.S. branch
or agency of a foreign bank pursuant to Federal
Reserve Regulation D. An IBF is permitted to hold
only certain assets and liabilities. In general, IBF
accounts are limited, as specified in the paragraphs
below, to non-U.S. residents of foreign countries, resi-
dents of Puerto Rico and U.S. territories and posses-
sions, other IBFs, and U.S. and non-U.S. offices of the
establishing entity.
Permissible IBF assets include extensions of credit to
the following:
•
Non-U.S. residents (including foreign branches of
other U.S. banks)
•
Other IBFs
•
U.S. and non-U.S. offices of the establishing entity
Credit may be extended to non-U.S. nonbank residents
only if the funds are used in their operations outside
the United States. IBFs may extend credit in the form
of a loan, deposit, placement, advance, security, or
other similar asset.
Permissible IBF liabilities include (as specified in Fed-
eral Reserve Regulation D) liabilities to non-U.S. non-
bank residents only if such liabilities have a minimum
maturity or notice period of at least two business days.
IBF liabilities also may include overnight liabilities to:
•
Non-U.S. offices of other depository institutions and
of Edge Act or Agreement corporations
•
Non-U.S. offices of foreign banks
•
Foreign governments and official institutions
•
Other IBFs
•

certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, or other
negotiable or bearer instruments.
Negotiable Time Deposit:
A negotiable time deposit is a large time deposit, which
is defined as a time deposit with a minimum value of

Open Trade
A trade with no specific maturity date. An open trade
is a contract or agreement that remains in effect for
more than one business day, but has no specified matu-
rity and does not require advance notice of either party
to terminate. Such contracts may also be known as
continuing contracts, open-ended agreements, or
rollovers.
Report Date
The report date is the as-of date for reporting pur-
poses. It is the date upon which the reportable transac-
tion was executed (i.e., the date that terms are agreed
on and the contract confirmed); even if the funds are
made available to the reporting institution on a subse-
quent date (transaction scheduled to settle on a future
date). For example, a report date of January 20 would
reflect all transactions executed and settled on Janu-
ary 20, as well as all transactions that were executed on
January 20 and are scheduled to settle on January 21.
The report date is the same date as the trade date.
Retail Counterparty
Retail counterparty refers to a counterparty who is a
natural person.
Selected Deposits
A selected deposit is a deposit which represents funds
received or held by the reporting institution for which
credit has been given, or is obligated to be given, to a
customer’s deposit account; and is executed with an
original specified term to maturity of six or less days
such that the dollar amount of the deposit is payable to
the bearer as follows:
(1)
On a certain calendar date that is six or less days
after the settlement date of the deposit, or
(2)
At the end of a specified period of time that is
six or less days after the settlement date of the
deposit.

nization that is a participant in money markets that

to the analysis and monitoring of market activity. A

begin to report on the FR 2420 within three months of
its designation as a significant banking organization.
Significant Branch or Office (Significance Test)
A “significant” branch or office is any foreign office of
a U.S. depository institution which has total assets of
$2 billion or more booked at that office as of the close

office applies for reporting Eurodollar transactions in

before the date of withdrawal.
Time deposits may be evidenced by a negotiable or

form evidenced by a receipt or similar acknowledge-
ment issued by the bank, that provides, on its face, that
the amount of such deposit is payable as described
above.
