FHLB Des Moines offers an extensive collateral menu which includes, but is not limited to, a variety of residential and commercial real estate loans, mortgage and business loans, government-guaranteed loans, securities and time certificates of deposit.

Adjusted Eligibility Guidelines for Pledged Collateral

As a part of our overall response to COVID-19, we've temporarily adjusted our eligibility guidelines on pledged collateral to align with our member financial institutions who are implementing loan forbearance or loan modifications agreements for their borrowers.
