Interest Bearing
Interest bearing deposits as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 consisted of non-maturity savings and money market
deposits, brokered and retail CDs, as discussed further below, and brokered MMDAs. In addition, we gather what we consider
to be core deposits from various sources. These deposit products are serviced by third-party providers. Placement fees
associated with the brokered CDs are amortized into interest expense using the effective interest rate method. We recognized
placement fee expense of $10.5 million, $10.3 million, and $9.8 million in the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013,
respectively. Fees paid to third-party brokers related to these CDs were $4.1 million, $15.2 million, and $12.1 million during
the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
