 on deposits allocated to the segments and decreases in interest expense on retail brokered CDs and long-term debt, partially offset by a decrease in interest income on other short-term investments and a decrease in FTP charges on loans and leases allocated to the segments. The decrease in FTP charges allocated to the segments was driven by decreases in market interest rates, primarily affecting the variable-rate asset portfolios. The decrease in FTP credits allocated to the segments was driven by lower FTP credit rates paid on deposits as a result of lower market interest rates and reduced liquidity premium assumptions. Under the Bancorp’s internal reporting methodology, the Bancorp insulates the segments from interest rate risk associated with fixed-rate lending by transferring this risk to General Corporate and Other through the FTP methodology. As a result, the amount of FTP credits on deposits earned by the segments generally increases or decreases at a faster pace than the amount of allocated FTP charges on loans and leases.

The provision for credit losses was $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a benefit from credit losses of $61 million for the same period in the prior year. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by a decrease in allocations to the segments. 

Noninterest income decreased $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily driven by the recognition of net securities losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to net securities gains for the same period in the prior year.

Noninterest expense decreased $62 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily driven by the expense recognized in 2024 associated with an FDIC special assessment and an increase in corporate overhead allocations from General Corporate and Other to the other segments.
