 is charged against earnings. There was no interest income that was accrued and not reversed on nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2024 and 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $27.8 million and $21.3 million of nonaccrual loans, respectively.  

Interest income from investment securities was $134.0 million for 2024, a $4.3 million, or 3.09%, decrease from $138.3 million for 2023. This decrease was driven by a decline in the average balance of investment securities of $434.9 million, or 7.80%, partially offset by a 13 basis point increase in the yield on securities, compared to 2023. This 13 basis point increase in the yield on investment securities from the prior year period was impacted by the positive spread generated from the pay-fixed swaps we entered into at the end of the second quarter of 2023. The positive carry on these fair value hedges resulted in approximately $14.4 million of interest income in 2024. The yield on investment securities was also impacted positively by the sale of $467 million of lower-yielding investment securities combined with the purchase of $418.5 million of higher-yielding securities in 2024. 

Interest expense of $182.8 million for 2024 increased $64.4 million, compared to $118.3 million for 2023. Total cost of funds for 2024 was 1.32%, compared with 0.83% for 2023. This 49 basis point increase in cost of funds was primarily the result of the increase in the cost of deposits. The average rate paid on deposits increased by 47 basis points, to 0.88% for 2024 from 0.41% for 2023. The increase in interest expense was also driven by a $134.6 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits in 2024 as compared to 2023.  Noninterest bearing deposits continued to be a significant portion of total deposits in 2024. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were 59.92% of our total deposits for 2024, compared to 62.66% for 2023.
