CU Discount Window Loans, Q4 2011

In the fourth quarter of 2011, 20 credit unions borrowed from the Federal Reserve's Discount Window. The total amount borrowed during the quarter was $82.6 million.

The average amount borrowed was just shy of $2.2 million, while the median-size discount window loan was $384,000.

The most active borrowers from the discount window were Mutual Savings CU of Atlanta (GA) and Building Trades FCU of Maple Grove (MN).
