Data Description:

The amount of "Customers' Liability to Bank on Acceptances Outstanding (2155)" to U.S. addressees. Whether a customer is "U.S." or "foreign" is determined by the customer's principal address, that is, domicile. A U.S. address (domicile) is in the 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and U.S. dependencies and insular possessions (including trust territories).


The distinction between a U.S. customer and a foreign (non-U.S.) customer is based on the principal address or domicile of the direct obligor. For example, a loan to a foreign-domiciled subsidiary corporation whose parent has a U.S. address is classified as a loan to a foreign addressee, even if the U.S. parent has guaranteed the loan and even if the subsidiary subsequently channels the funds back to the U.S. parent. Similarly, when a foreign-domiciled company utilizes an American agent in negotiating or servicing a loan, that loan is classified as a loan to the foreign addressee, which is the direct obligor.

NOTE:


For the FFIEC 002 report, excludes all claims on related depository institutions but includes claims on related nondepository institutions.


In some cases, the "account address" used for correspondence, etc., is different from the customer's principal address or domicile. In such cases, the bank will look behind the account address to other information in its files or make reasonable efforts to ascertain the customer's principal address or domicile from sources outside the bank. Only if the customer's domicile is not readily ascertainable from the bank's own files or from other sources will the bank use the account address from determining whether a customer is "U.S." or "foreign".
