 any of the various tax authorities that may examine tax returns filed by M&T or any of its subsidiaries.

Liquidity Risk

As a financial intermediary, the Company is exposed to various risks, including liquidity and market risk. Liquidity refers to the Company’s ability to ensure that sufficient cash flow and liquid assets are available to satisfy current and future obligations, including demands for loans and deposit withdrawals, funding operating costs and other corporate purposes. Liquidity risk arises whenever the cash flows associated with financial instruments included in assets and liabilities differ. 

The most significant source of funding for the Company is core deposits, which are generated from a large base of consumer, corporate and institutional customers. That customer base has become more geographically diverse as a result of expansion of the Company’s businesses over time. Nevertheless, the Company faces competition in offering products and services from a large array of financial market participants, including banks, thrifts, mutual funds, securities dealers and others. Core deposits totaled $150.9 billion at June 30, 2025 and $147.5 billion at December 31, 2024. The higher level of core deposits at June 30, 2025 reflects higher savings and interest-checking deposits and noninterest-bearing deposits, including transitory institutional services deposits at the end of the recent quarter.

The Company supplements funding provided through core deposits with various short-term and long-term wholesale borrowings, including overnight federal funds purchases, repurchase agreements, advances from the FHLBs, brokered deposits and longer-term borrowings. M&T Bank has access to additional funding sources through secured borrowings from the FHLB of New York and the FRB of New York. M&T Bank is also a counterparty to the FRB of New York standing repurchase agreement facility, which allows it to enter into overnight repurchase transactions using eligible investment securities. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, long-term borrowings aggregated $12.4 billion and $12.6 billion, respectively, and short-term borrowings aggregated $2.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. Information about the Company's borrowings is included in note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements.
