Seasonal Credit Program

On this page you will find information about the Seventh District’s Seasonal Credit Program.

About the Program

Under the program, depository institutions may obtain funds through the Discount Window during periods of seasonal need allowing them to carry fewer liquid assets in the off-season and to make more funds available to meet the credit needs of their local community. Credit can be obtained for periods of up to nine months in a calendar year, and there are no commitment fees or other expenses involved in setting up and maintaining a seasonal line of credit, even if it is never used.

The Seasonal Credit Program may be of interest to you if your institution experiences regular fluctuations in liquidity because of your customers’ seasonal types of businesses, such as:
  • Agriculture
  • College
  • Construction
  • Municipal financing
  • Tourism

If your institution holds less than $500 million in deposits and can demonstrate a clear pattern of recurring seasonal swings in funding needs, then your institution may qualify for the Seasonal Credit Program. Read more...
