Rate
DN Floating Rate Advances are quoted on an actual/360 day interest accrual basis. Same day funding of Advances tied to the current rate may be suspended under volatile market conditions. In these cases, same day funding may be obtained through a CMA or Repo Advance until the following business day when DN indications are available.

Principal Prepayment Policy
Excluding structured non-prepayment periods or "lock-outs," four and thirteen week DN Floating Rate Advances are prepayable in whole on any repricing dates without a fee. Four week DN Floating Rate Advances are only prepayable on repricing dates. Members must give the FHLB at least two New York business day notice of their intent to prepay. If a thirteen week DN Floating Rate Advance is prepaid prior to the repricing date, the fee is equal to the present value of 100 percent of the lost cash flow to the FHLB for the term to the next repricing based upon the difference between the most recent preceding DN Auction rate in effect on the Advance and the current yield on FHLB securities of comparable maturity to the next repricing date. The discount rate shall be the current yield on FHLB securities. If the current yield on FHLB securities is equal to or greater than the rate on the DN Floating Rate Advance, no fee will be assessed.
