by 25 basis point from 4.10% for 2023 to 4.35% for 2024. The $275.6 million year-over-year decrease in average earning assets resulted from a $434.9 million decrease in average investment securities and a decline of $222.9 million in average loans, offset by $386.4 million of growth in average earning balances due from the Federal Reserve. The 25 basis point increase in the earning asset yield over 2023 resulted primarily from a 22 basis point increase in loan yields, from 5.04% for 2023 to 5.26% for 2024, and from a 13 basis point increase in the yield on investment securities, from 2.52% for 2023 to 2.65% for 2024. The increase in the overall earning asset yield was also impacted by the increase in average earning balances due from the Federal Reserve as a percentage of earning assets, from 2.2% in 2023 to 5.0% in 2024. Balances due from the Federal Reserve earned 5.38% on average in 2024.

Total interest income and fees on loans for 2024 of $455.8 million increased $7.5 million, or 1.66%, when compared to 2023. This increase in income was due to a higher loan yield partially offset by a decrease in average loans of $222.9 million. Loan yields were 5.26% for 2024, compared to 5.04% for 2023. Loan yields grew year-over-year, as rising interest rates contributed to an increase in yields on loans indexed to the Prime rate or other short-term indexes, as well as higher rates from adjustable rate loans and newly originated loans.
