 methodology, the segments are insulated from most benchmark interest rate volatility, enabling them to focus on serving customers through the origination of loans and acceptance of deposits. The FTP methodology assigns charge and credit rates to classes of assets and liabilities, respectively, based on the estimated amount and timing of the cash flows for each transaction. Assigning the FTP rate based on matching the duration of cash flows allocates interest income and interest expense to each segment so its resulting net interest income is insulated from future changes in benchmark interest rates. The Bancorp’s FTP methodology also allocates the contribution to net interest income of the asset-generating and deposit-providing businesses on a duration-adjusted basis to better attribute the driver of the performance. As the asset and liability durations are not perfectly matched, the residual impact of the FTP methodology is captured in General Corporate and Other. The charge and credit rates are determined using the FTP rate curve, which is based on an estimate of Fifth Third’s marginal borrowing cost in the wholesale funding markets. The FTP curve is constructed using the U.S. swap curve, brokered CD pricing and unsecured debt pricing. The Bancorp adjusts the FTP charge and credit rates as dictated by changes in interest rates for various interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and by the review of behavioral assumptions, such as prepayment rates on interest-earning assets and the estimated durations for indeterminate-lived deposits. Key assumptions, including the credit rates provided for deposit accounts, are reviewed annually. Credit rates for deposit products and charge rates for loan products may be reset more frequently in response to changes in market conditions.Refer to Note 31 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information about the Bancorp’s FTP process and other allocation methodologies.In January 2025, the Bancorp realigned its reporting structure and moved certain business banking customer relationships and relationship management personnel to the Consumer and Small Business Banking segment from the Commercial Banking segment to improve alignment of customer acquisition and servicing resources with customer product and service demand. In conjunction with this change, the loans, deposits and operating results associated with the affected business banking customer relationships were reclassified from the Commercial Banking segment to the Consumer and Small Business Banking segment effective January 1, 2025, along with $73 million of associated goodwill. This change was applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The following table summarizes the impacts of the movements from the Commercial Banking segment to the Consumer & Small Business
