As we announced this spring, we changed the normal cadence for implementing our annual lending value changes. We made the adjustment as we made enhancements to our overall lending value methodology.

At its meeting last week, FHLBank Topeka’s board of directors approved the following lending value changes effective June 1, 2026. Additional details are available in the online Member Products and Services Guide.

We have also created a new area on our Members Only portal under Collateral > Forms. The new resource shows changes in the lending values in a user-friendly Excel format to allow you to download the file and integrate it within your own applications.

The table below compares the changes to our most popular categories for the blanket (QCD) lending value. Visit our website for the full schedule of eligible collateral, including delivered (limited) and delivered (expanded) lending values.

Additionally, several adjustments were made to the lending values for Securities for the delivered category. In addition to adjustments to the lending values, tiers were added to the Agency residential mortgage pass-through securities and Other private issue commercial mortgage obligations categories for transparency. Please refer to the links above for details on the lending value changes to Securities.

We also published the lending values based on the security type and rating in the State and local government securities category and simplified the eligibility criteria due to the recent rescission of a 2003 rule from our regulator.
