Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies
Ally Financial Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires, Ally, the Company, we, us, or our) is a financial-services company with the nation’s largest all-digital bank and an industry-leading automotive financing and insurance business, driven by a mission to “Do It Right” and be a relentless ally for all stakeholders. The Company serves customers with deposits and securities brokerage and investment advisory services as well as automotive financing and insurance offerings. The Company also includes a seasoned corporate finance business that offers capital for equity sponsors and middle-market companies. Ally is a Delaware corporation and is registered as a BHC under the BHC Act, and an FHC under the GLB Act.
Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the parent and its consolidated subsidiaries, of which it is deemed to possess control, after eliminating intercompany balances and transactions, and include all VIEs in which we are the primary beneficiary. Refer to Note 11 for further details on our VIEs. Other entities in which we have invested and have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee, but upon which we do not possess control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting within the financial statements and are therefore not consolidated. Our accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. GAAP and, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods’ financial statements and notes to conform to the current period’s presentation, which did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
We operate our international subsidiaries in a similar manner as we operate in the United States of America (U.S. or United States), subject to local laws or other circumstances that may cause us to modify our procedures accordingly. The financial statements of subsidiaries that operate outside of the United States generally are measured using the local currency as the functional currency.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure, including those of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. It also includes estimates related to the income and expenses during the reporting period and the related disclosures. In developing the estimates and assumptions, we use all available evidence; however, actual results could differ because of uncertainties associated with estimating the amounts, timing, and likelihood of possible outcomes. Our most significant estimates pertain to the allowance for loan losses, the valuations of automotive operating lease assets and residuals, the fair value of financial instruments, and the determination of the provision for income taxes.
Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash on deposit at other financial institutions, cash items in process of collection, and certain highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The book value of cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments and the insignificant risk they present to changes in value with respect to changes in interest rates. We may hold securities with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are held as part of a longer-term investment strategy and classify them as investment securities. We also hold cash and cash equivalents with legal restrictions limiting our ability to withdraw and use the funds. This includes restricted cash held for securitization trusts and restricted cash and cash equivalents, which are presented as other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Investment Securities
Our investment securities portfolio includes various debt securities. Debt securities are classified based on our intent to sell or hold the security. We classify debt securities as held-to-maturity only when we have both the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. We classify debt securities as trading when the securities are acquired for the purpose of selling or holding them for a short period of time. Debt securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost basis.
We establish an allowance for credit losses for lifetime expected credit losses on our held-to-maturity securities, as necessary. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Our held-to-maturity securities portfolio is mostly composed of U.S. government (issued by U.S. government entities or agencies) and non-agency mortgage-backed residential debt securities. U.S. government securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major ratings agencies, and have a long history of zero credit losses and therefore generally do not require an allowance for credit losses.
We regularly assess our available-for-sale securities for impairment. When the amortized cost basis of an available-for-sale security exceeds its fair value, the security is impaired. If we determine that we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis, any previously recorded allowance for credit losses is written off and the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value at the reporting date, with any incremental impairment recorded through earnings.
Alternatively, if we do not intend to sell, or it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis, we evaluate, among other factors, the magnitude of the decline in fair value, the financial health of and business outlook for the issuer, and the performance of the underlying assets for interests in securitized assets to determine if a credit loss has occurred.
The present value of expected future cash flows is compared to the security’s amortized cost basis to measure the credit loss component of the impairment after determining a credit loss has occurred. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis, we record an allowance for credit losses for that difference. The amount of credit loss is limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Any remaining impairment that is due to factors other than a credit loss, such as changes in market interest rates, is recorded in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for, or reversal of, provision for credit losses.
Premiums and discounts on debt securities are generally amortized over the stated maturity of the security as an adjustment to investment yield. Premiums on debt securities that have non-contingent call features that are callable at fixed prices on preset dates are amortized to the earliest call date as an adjustment to investment yield.
A debt security is generally placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become 90 days past due. The receivable for interest income that is accrued but not collected is reversed against interest income when the debt security is placed on nonaccrual status.
Realized gains and losses on the sale of debt securities are determined using the specific identification method and are reported in other (loss) gain on investments, net in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Equity Securities and Nonmarketable Equity Investments
Equity securities that have a readily determinable fair value are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings and reported in other (loss) gain on investments, net in our Consolidated Statement of Income. These investments are included in equity securities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In some instances, we may account for equity securities using the net asset value practical expedient to estimate fair value. Realized gains and losses on the sale of equity securities with a readily determinable fair value and equity securities measured using the net asset value practical expedient are determined using the specific identification method and are reported in other (loss) gain on investments, net in our Consolidated Statement of Income. Refer to Note 24 for further information on equity securities that are held at fair value.
Our nonmarketable equity investments include investments in FHLB and FRB stock held to meet regulatory requirements and other equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value. Our investments in FHLB and FRB stock are carried at cost, less impairment, if any. Our remaining nonmarketable equity investments are recorded at cost, less impairment and adjusted for observable price changes under the measurement alternative provided under U.S. GAAP. These investments, along with our investments in FHLB and FRB stock, are included in nonmarketable equity investments in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Investments recorded under the measurement alternative are also reviewed at each reporting period to determine if any adjustments are required for observable price changes in identical or similar securities of the same issuer. As conditions warrant, we review these investments, as well as investments in FHLB and FRB stock, for impairment and adjust the carrying value of the investment if it is deemed to be impaired. Adjustments related to observable price changes or impairment on securities using the measurement alternative and FHLB and FRB stock are recorded in earnings and reported in other income, net of losses in our Consolidated Statement of Income. Realized gains and losses on the sale of nonmarketable equity investments are also recorded in earnings and reported in other income, net of losses in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Finance Receivables and Loans
We initially classify finance receivables and loans as either loans held-for-sale or loans held-for-investment based on an assessment of our intent and ability to hold the loans for the foreseeable future or until maturity. Our view of the foreseeable future is based on the longest reliable forecasted period, including events known when performing periodic evaluations. Our intent and ability with respect to certain loans may change from time to time depending on a number of factors, for example, economic, liquidity, and capital conditions. In order to reclassify loans to held-for-sale, we must have the intent to sell the loans and must reasonably identify the specific loans to be sold.
Loans classified as held-for-sale are presented as loans held-for-sale, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at the lower of their net carrying value or fair value, unless the fair value option was elected, in which case those loans are carried at fair value. For loans originated as held-for-sale for which we have not elected the fair value option, loan origination fees and costs are included in the initial carrying value. Interest income on our loans classified as held-for-sale is recognized based upon the contractual rate of interest on the loan and the unpaid principal balance. We report accrued interest receivable on our loans classified as held-for-sale in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
For held-for-sale loans for which we have elected the fair value option, loan origination fees and costs are recognized in earnings when earned or incurred. Prior to ceasing the origination of new mortgage loans during 2025, we elected the fair value option for mortgage direct-to-consumer originations for which we had a commitment to sell. The interest rate lock commitment that we entered into for a mortgage loan originated as held-for-sale and certain forward commitments were considered derivatives, which we carried at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We elected the fair value option to measure our nonderivative forward commitments. Changes in the fair value of our interest rate lock commitments, derivative forward commitments, and nonderivative forward commitments related to mortgage loans originated as held-for-sale, as well as changes in the carrying value of loans classified as held-for-sale, were reported through (loss) gain on mortgage and automotive loans, net in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Loans classified as held-for-investment are presented as finance receivables and loans, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance receivables and loans are reported at their amortized cost basis, which includes the principal amount outstanding, net of unamortized deferred fees and costs on originated loans, unamortized premiums and discounts on purchased loans, unamortized basis adjustments arising from the designation of finance receivables and loans as the hedged item in qualifying fair value hedge relationships, and cumulative principal net charge-offs. We refer to the amortized cost basis less the allowance for loan losses as the net carrying value in finance receivables and loans. Unearned rate support received from automotive manufacturers on certain automotive loans, deferred origination fees and costs, and premiums and discounts on purchased loans are amortized over the contractual life of the related finance receivable or loan using the effective interest method. We make various incentive payments for consumer automotive loan originations to automotive dealers and account for these payments as direct loan origination costs. Additionally, we make incentive payments to certain commercial automobile wholesale borrowers and account for these payments as a reduction to interest income in the period they are earned. Interest income on our finance receivables and loans is recognized based on the contractual rate of interest plus the amortization of deferred amounts using the effective interest method, except for origination fees and costs on our credit card loans and revolving lines of credit without scheduled principal payments, which are amortized on a straight line basis. In addition, annual fees on credit cards were amortized into other income, net of losses over a twelve-month period. We report accrued interest receivable on our finance receivables and loans in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, except for billed interest on our credit card loans, which was included in finance receivables and loans, net. Loan commitment fees are generally deferred and amortized over the commitment period. For information on finance receivables and loans, refer to Note 9.
We have elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the measurement of our allowance for loan losses for each class of financing receivables, except for billed interest on our credit card loans, which was included in finance receivables and loans, net as part of the amortized cost basis of the loan. We have also elected to write-off accrued interest receivable by reversing interest income when loans are placed on nonaccrual status for each class of finance receivable. This includes the reversal of the billed interest on credit card loans that occurred at the time of charge-off, which was initially included in the measurement of our allowance for loan losses.
Our portfolio segments are based on the level at which we develop and document our methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, the classes of finance receivables are based on several factors, including the method for monitoring and assessing credit risk, the method of measuring carrying value, and the risk characteristics of the finance receivable. Based on an evaluation of our process for developing the allowance for loan losses, including the nature and extent of exposure to credit risk arising from finance receivables, we have determined our portfolio segments to be consumer automotive, consumer mortgage, consumer other, and commercial.
Consumer automotive — Consists of retail automotive financing for new and used vehicles.
Consumer mortgage — Consists of consumer first-lien mortgages, subordinate-lien mortgages, and home equity mortgages. Consumer mortgage originations ceased during the second quarter of 2025, which has and will continue to result in a gradual run-off of our consumer mortgage portfolio. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2025, we transferred $366 million of mortgage loans to held-for-sale. Following the expected sale of these mortgage loans, our consumer mortgage portfolio will be all first-lien fixed-rate mortgages.
Consumer other — Consists of the following classes of finance receivables.
Personal Lending — Consists of unsecured consumer lending from point-of-sale financing. On March 1, 2024, we closed the sale of our point-of-sale financing business.
Credit Card — Consists of consumer credit card loans. On April 1, 2025, we closed the sale of our credit card operations. Refer to Note 2 for further information.
Commercial — Consists of the following classes of finance receivables.
Commercial and Industrial
Automotive — Consists of financing operations to fund dealer purchases of new and used vehicles through wholesale floorplan financing. Additional commercial offerings include automotive dealer term loans, revolving lines, and dealer and other fleet financing.
Other — Consists primarily of senior secured asset-based and leveraged cash flow loans related to our corporate-finance business.
Commercial Real Estate Consists of term loans primarily secured by dealership land and buildings, and other commercial lending secured by real estate.
Nonaccrual Loans
Generally, we recognize loans of all classes as past due when they are 30 days delinquent on making a contractually required payment, and loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest has been delinquent for at least 90 days, or when full collection is not expected. Interest income recognition is suspended when finance receivables and loans are placed on nonaccrual status. Additionally, amortization of premiums and discounts and deferred fees and costs ceases when finance receivables and loans are placed on nonaccrual. Exceptions include commercial real estate loans that are placed on nonaccrual status when delinquent for 60 days or when full collection is not probable, if sooner. Additionally, a loan can be returned to accrual status when the loan has been brought fully current, the collection of contractual principal and interest is reasonably assured, and six consecutive months of repayment performance is achieved. In certain cases, if a borrower has been current up to the time of a modification and repayment of the debt subsequent to the modification is reasonably assured, we may choose to continue to accrue interest on the loan.
Nonperforming loans on nonaccrual status are reported in Note 9. For all our portfolio segments, the receivable for interest income that is accrued, but not collected, at the date finance receivables and loans are placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income and subsequently recognized only to the extent it is received in cash or until it qualifies for return to accrual status. However, prior to the sale of Ally Credit Card, billed interest for credit card loans was included in the receivables balance and therefore was not reversed against interest income until the loan was charged-off. Where there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectability of loan principal, all cash received is applied to reduce the carrying value of such loans. Generally, finance receivables and loans are restored to accrual status only when contractually current and the collection of future payments is reasonably assured.
Modifications of Loans with Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
We may provide a loan modification to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty if we believe they have the ability and are willing to repay their loan. The type of modification granted will vary depending on our credit risk management practices, as well as the borrower’s financial condition and the characteristics of the loan, including the unpaid balance, the underlying collateral, and the number or types of previous modifications granted.
Modifications that we make subject to the financial difficulty disclosure requirements include payment extensions, principal forgiveness, interest rate concessions, or any combination thereof. These modifications generally reduce the borrower’s periodic payment amount. The following is a description of each of these types of modifications.
Payment extensions — Payment extensions include both payment deferrals and contractual maturity extensions. Deferral arrangements allow borrowers to delay a scheduled loan payment to a later date. Deferred loan payments do not affect the original contractual terms of the loan and the contractual maturity date of the loan remains unchanged. Deferrals also include certain forbearance agreements. Within the commercial loan portfolio, deferrals primarily reflect a deferral of interest payments. Under a contractual maturity extension agreement, the last payment date is extended to a future date, lengthening the remaining term of the original loan.
Principal forgiveness — Under principal forgiveness, the outstanding principal balance of a loan is reduced by a specified amount. Principal forgiveness may occur voluntarily as part of a negotiated agreement with a borrower, or involuntarily through a bankruptcy proceeding. Under these involuntary instances, the bankruptcy court in a Chapter 11 or 13 proceeding may order us to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the loan to a specified amount.
Interest rate concessions — Interest rate concessions adjust the contractual interest rate of the loan to a rate that is not consistent with a market rate for a customer with similar credit risk.
Combination — Combination includes loans that have undergone multiple of the above loan modification types. This primarily includes rewritten loans where we grant an interest rate concession and a contractual maturity extension.
Significant judgment is required to determine if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These considerations vary by portfolio class. In all cases, the cumulative impacts of all modifications made within the 12-month period before the current modification are considered at the time of the most recent modification.
For consumer loans of all classes, various qualitative factors are used for assessing the financial difficulty of the borrower. These factors include, but are not limited to, the borrower’s default status on any of its debts, bankruptcy, and recent changes in financial circumstances (for instance, loss of employment). For commercial loans of all classes, similar qualitative factors are considered when assessing the financial difficulty of the borrower. In addition to the previously noted factors, consideration is also given to the borrower’s forecasted ability to service the debt in accordance with the contractual terms, possible regulatory actions, and other potential business disruptions (for example, the loss of a significant customer or other revenue stream).
In our consumer automotive portfolio class of loans, we also provide extensions or deferrals of payments to borrowers whom we deem to be experiencing only temporary financial difficulty. In these cases, there are limits within our operational policies to minimize the number of times a loan can be extended, as well as limits to the length of each extension, and a cumulative extension cap over the life of the loan. If these limits are breached, the modification may require disclosure as noted in the following paragraph. Before offering an extension or deferral, we evaluate the capacity of the customer to make the scheduled payments after the deferral period. During the deferral period, we continue to accrue interest on the loan as part of the deferral agreement. We grant extensions or deferrals when we expect to collect all amounts due including interest accrued at the original contract rate.
We do not disclose loan modifications that result in only an insignificant payment delay. In order to assess whether a payment delay is insignificant, we consider the amount of the modified payments subject to delay in conjunction with the unpaid principal balance or the collateral value of the loan, whether or not the delay is significant with respect to the frequency of payments under the original contract, or the loan’s original expected duration. In the cases where payment extensions cumulatively extend beyond 90 days and are more than 10% of the original contractual term, or where the cumulative payment extension within the 12-month period immediately preceding the current modification is beyond 180 days, we deem the delay in payment to be more than insignificant.
The financial impacts of modifications that meet the definition of a modification to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are reported in the period in which they are identified. Additionally, if such a loan defaults within 12 months of the modification, we are required to disclose the instances of redefault. A loan is considered to have redefaulted when the loan meets the requirements for evaluation under our charge-off policy, except for commercial loans where redefault is defined as 90 days past due.
Net Charge-offs
We disclose the measurement of net charge-offs as the amount of gross charge-offs recognized less recoveries received. Gross charge-offs reflect the amount of the amortized cost basis directly written-off. Generally, we recognize recoveries when they are received and record them as an increase to the allowance for loan losses.
As a general rule, consumer automotive loans are fully charged off once a loan becomes 120 days past due. In instances where upon becoming 120 days past due repossession is assured and in process, consumer automotive loans are written down to estimated collateral value, less costs to sell. In our consumer mortgage portfolio segment, first-lien mortgages and a subset of our home equity portfolio that are secured by real estate in a first-lien position are written down to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, once a mortgage loan becomes 180 days past due. Consumer mortgage loans that represent second-lien positions were charged off at 180 days past due. In our consumer other segment, prior to being transferred to held-for-sale, loans within our personal lending class of receivables were charged off at 120 days past due and loans in our credit card class of receivables were charged off at 180 days past due. Within 60 days of receipt of notification of filing from the bankruptcy court, or within the time frames noted above, consumer automotive and first-lien consumer mortgage loans in bankruptcy are written down to their expected future cash flows, which is generally fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, and second-lien consumer mortgage loans and other consumer loans are fully charged-off, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that repayment is likely to occur. Regardless of other timelines noted within this policy, loans are considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is expected to only be through sale or operation of the collateral. Collateral-dependent loans are charged-off to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell when foreclosure or repossession proceedings begin.
Commercial loans are individually evaluated and are written down to the estimated fair value of the collateral less costs to sell when collectability of the recorded balance is in doubt. Generally, all commercial loans are charged-off when it becomes unlikely that the borrower is willing or able to repay the remaining balance of the loan and any underlying collateral is not sufficient to recover the outstanding principal.
Collateral-dependent commercial loans are charged-off to the fair value of collateral less costs to sell, when appropriate. Non-collateral dependent loans are fully charged-off.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses (the allowance) is deducted from, or added to, the loan’s amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected from our lending portfolios. We estimate the allowance using relevant available information, which includes both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Additions and reductions to the allowance are charged to current period earnings through the provision for credit losses and amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly against the allowance, net of amounts recovered on previously charged-off accounts. Expected recoveries do not exceed the total of amounts previously charged-off and amounts expected to be charged-off.
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term only includes expected extensions or renewals, if the extension or renewal option is included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and we are not able to unconditionally cancel the option. Expected loan modifications are only included in the contractual term, if we have a reasonable expectation at period end that the loan modification will be executed with a borrower.
For the purpose of calculating portfolio-level reserves, we have grouped our loans into four portfolio segments: consumer automotive, consumer mortgage, consumer other, and commercial. The allowance is measured on a collective basis using statistical models when loans have similar risk characteristics. These statistical models are designed to correlate certain macroeconomic variables to expected future credit losses. The macroeconomic data used in the models are based on forecasted factors over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. These forecasted variables are derived from both internal and external sources. Beyond this forecasted period, we revert each variable to a historical average on a straight-line basis. The historical average is calculated predominantly using historical data beginning in January 2008 through the most recent period of available data.
During the second quarter of 2024, we updated our reasonable and supportable forecast period from 12 months to 24 months, and our reversion period from 24 months to 12 months. This refinement to our estimation process represented a change in accounting estimate, with prospective application beginning in the period of change. The impact of this refinement to our estimation process was offset by an adjustment in the qualitative portion of our allowance. The use of a longer-duration reasonable and supportable macroeconomic forecast period to produce the modeled portion of our allowance for loan losses is expected to further improve model performance.
Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are not included in the collective evaluation.
The allowance calculation is supplemented with qualitative adjustments that take into consideration current portfolio and asset-level factors, such as the impacts of changes in underwriting standards, collections and account management effectiveness, geographic concentrations, and economic events that have occurred but are not yet reflected in the quantitative model component. Qualitative adjustments are documented, reviewed, and approved through our established risk governance processes and follow regulatory guidance.
We also consider the need for a reserve on unfunded loan commitments across our portfolio segments, including lines of credit and standby letters of credit. We estimate expected credit losses over the contractual period in which we are exposed to credit risk, unless we have the option to unconditionally cancel the obligation. Expected credit losses on the commitments include consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur under the commitment and an estimate of expected credit losses on amounts expected to be funded over the estimated life. The reserve for unfunded loan commitments is recorded within accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Provision for credit losses related to our reserve for unfunded commitments is recorded within provision for credit losses on our Consolidated Statement of Income. Refer to Note 28 for information on our unfunded loan commitments.
Consumer Automotive
The allowance within the consumer automotive portfolio segment is calculated using proprietary statistical models and other risk indicators applied to pools of loans with similar risk characteristics, including credit bureau score and LTV ratios.
The model generates projections of default rates, prepayment rates, loss severity rates, and recovery rates using macroeconomic and historical loan data. These projections are used to develop transition scenarios to predict the portfolio’s migration from the current or past-due status to various future states over the life of the loan. Macroeconomic data used to calculate expected credit losses incorporates light vehicle sales, wholesale used vehicle value index, state-level real personal income, and state-level unemployment rates, with unemployment rates being the most impactful macroeconomic factor in calculating expected lifetime credit losses. The loss severity within the consumer automotive portfolio segment is impacted by the fair values of vehicles that are repossessed. Vehicle values are affected by numerous factors including vehicle supply, the condition of the vehicle upon repossession, the overall price and volatility of fuel, consumer preference related to specific vehicle segments, and other factors. The model output is aggregated to calculate expected lifetime gross credit losses, net of expected recoveries.
Consumer Mortgage
The allowance within the consumer mortgage portfolio segment is calculated using statistical models based on pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. The models incorporate loan and borrower data elements, including LTV ratio, loan age, term, product type, loan balance and credit score.
Expected losses are statistically modeled using behavioral transitions. The models estimate the probability of delinquency, default, and voluntary prepayment over the course of each loan. The transition probability is a function of the data elements and economic variables. When a default event is predicted, a severity model is applied to estimate future loan losses. Loss severity within the consumer mortgage portfolio segment is estimated based on the expected market value of the underlying collateral, considering factors such as property location and macroeconomic data. Macroeconomic data that is used to calculate expected credit losses include interest rates, mortgage rates, home price index, and unemployment rates. The model output is aggregated to calculate expected lifetime credit losses.
Consumer Other
The allowance within our credit card receivables class was calculated by using a statistical model that considers loan-specific and economy-wide factors to project default events, positive closure, EAD, and LGD events across all active loans in the portfolio. Macroeconomic data that is used to calculate expected credit losses include state and national-level unemployment rate, revolving consumer credit, and retail sales. Estimated expected lifetime credit losses are the summation of the simulated losses and recoveries for all credit card loans in the portfolio.
Commercial Loans
The allowance within the commercial loan portfolio segment is calculated using an expected loss framework that uses historical loss experience, concentrations, macroeconomic factors, and performance trends. The determination of the allowance is influenced by numerous assumptions and factors that may materially affect estimates of loss, including changes to the PD, LGD, and EAD. PD factors are determined based on our historical performance data, which considers ongoing reviews of the financial performance of borrowers within our portfolio, including cash flow, debt-service coverage ratio, and an assessment of borrowers’ industry and future prospects. The determination of PD also incorporates historical loss experience and, when necessary, macroeconomic information obtained from external sources. LGD factors consider the type of collateral, relative LTV ratios, and historical loss information. In addition, LGD factors may be influenced by macroeconomic information and situations in which automotive manufacturers repurchase vehicles used as collateral to secure the loans in default situations. EAD factors are derived from outstanding balance levels, including estimated prepayment assumptions based on historical experience.
Refer to Note 9 for information on the allowance for loan losses.
Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations
A legal entity is considered a VIE if, by design, has any of the following characteristics: the equity at risk is insufficient for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the ability to directly or indirectly make decisions about the entity’s activities that most significantly impact economic performance through voting or similar rights, do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses, do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity, or do not have voting rights that are proportionate to their interests and substantially all the activities are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.
For all VIEs in which we are involved, we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE on an ongoing basis. In circumstances where we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could be significant, we would conclude that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE and would consolidate the VIE (also referred to as on-balance sheet). In situations where we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we do not consolidate the VIE and only recognize our interests in the VIE (also referred to as off-balance sheet).
We are involved in securitizations that typically involve the use of VIEs. For information regarding our securitization activities, refer to Note 11.
In the case of a consolidated on-balance-sheet VIE used for a securitization, the underlying assets remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheet with the corresponding obligations to third-party beneficial interest holders reflected as debt. We recognize income on the assets and interest expense on the debt issued by the VIE on an accrual basis. We reserve for expected losses on the assets primarily under CECL. Consolidation of the VIE precludes us from recording an accounting sale on the transaction.
In securitizations where we are not determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we must determine whether we achieve a sale for accounting purposes. To achieve a sale for accounting purposes, the financial assets being transferred must be legally isolated, not be constrained by restrictions from further transfer, and be deemed to be beyond our control. We would deem the transaction to be an off-balance-sheet securitization if the preceding three criteria for sale accounting are met. If we were to fail any of these three criteria for sale accounting, the transfer would be accounted for as a secured borrowing, consistent with the preceding paragraph regarding on-balance sheet VIEs.
The gain or loss recognized on off-balance-sheet securitizations takes into consideration any assets received or liabilities assumed, including any retained interests, and servicing assets or liabilities (if applicable), which are initially recorded at fair value at the date of sale. Upon the sale of the financial assets, we recognize a gain or loss on sale for the difference between the assets and liabilities recognized, and the assets derecognized. The financial assets obtained from off-balance-sheet securitizations are primarily reported as cash or if applicable, retained interests. Retained interests are classified as securities or as other assets depending on their form and structure. The estimate of the fair value of the retained interests and servicing requires us to exercise significant judgment about the timing and amount of future cash flows from the interests. For a discussion on fair value estimates, refer to Note 24.
Gains or losses on off-balance-sheet securitizations are reported in (loss) gain on mortgage and automotive loans, net, in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
We retain the right to service our automotive loan securitizations. We may receive servicing fees for off-balance-sheet securitizations based on the securitized asset balances and certain ancillary fees, all of which are reported in other income, net of losses in our Consolidated Statement of Income. Typically, the fee we are paid for servicing represents adequate compensation, and consequently, does not result in the recognition of a servicing asset or liability.
Equity-Method Investments and Proportional Amortization Investments
Our equity-method investments primarily include equity investments related to the CRA, which do not have a readily determinable fair value. The majority of these investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are included in equity-method investments within other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On January 1, 2024, we adopted ASU 2023-02, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method, which expanded the application of the proportional amortization method to certain tax equity investments. Our proportional amortization investments include tax equity investments related to the CRA, for which the primary return to us is the income tax credits and other income tax benefits we receive. We have elected to apply the proportional amortization method to qualifying tax equity investments within our LIHTC, NMTC, and HTC programs. Under the proportional amortization method, the costs of qualifying tax equity investments are amortized in proportion to the allocation of income tax credits and other income tax benefits in each period to the total income tax benefits expected to be obtained over the life of the investment, and the investment amortization and income tax credits are presented on a net basis as a component of income tax expense. Our proportional amortization investments are included within other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our obligations related to unfunded commitments for our proportional amortization investments are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Income tax credits and other income tax benefits received are recorded in income tax expense of the Consolidated Statement of Income and in net income and as a component of operating activities within deferred income taxes, other assets, and other liabilities of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Repossessed and Foreclosed Assets
Assets securing our finance receivables and loans are classified as repossessed and foreclosed and included in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at the earlier of when physical possession of the collateral is taken or legal title to the underlying collateral is received, which includes the transfer of title through foreclosure or other similar proceedings. Repossessed and foreclosed assets are initially recognized at the lower of the outstanding balance of the loan at the time of repossession or foreclosure or the fair value of the asset less estimated costs to sell. Losses on the initial revaluation of repossessed and foreclosed assets (and generally, declines in value shortly after repossession or foreclosure) are recognized as a charge-off of the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in value are charged to other operating expenses.
Lease Accounting
At contract inception, we determine whether the contract is or contains a lease based on the terms and conditions of the contract. Refer to Investment in Operating Leases below for leases in which we are the lessor. Lease contracts for which we are the lessee are recognized on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as ROU assets and lease liabilities. Lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are initially recorded based on the present value of the future lease payments over the expected lease term. We utilize our incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate we would incur to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term on an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment since the interest rate implicit in the lease contract is typically not readily determinable. The ROU asset also includes initial direct costs paid less lease incentives received from the lessor. Our lease contracts are generally classified as operating and, as a result, we recognize a single lease cost within other operating expenses on the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Our leases primarily consist of property leases and fleet vehicle leases. Our property-lease agreements generally contain a lease component, which includes the right to use the real estate, and non-lease components, which generally include utilities and common area maintenance services. We elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components in our property leases as a single lease component for recognition and measurement of our ROU assets and lease liabilities. Our property leases that include variable-rent payments made during the lease term that are not based on a rate or index, are excluded from the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities, and are recognized as a component of variable lease expense as incurred. We have elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities on property leases with terms of one year or less. Our fleet vehicle leases also include a lease component, which includes the right to use the vehicle, and non-lease components, which include maintenance, fuel, and administrative services. However, we have elected to account for the lease and non-lease components in our fleet vehicle leases separately. Accordingly, the non-lease components are excluded from the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability and are recognized as other operating expenses as incurred.
Investment in Operating Leases
Investment in operating leases, net, represents the vehicles that are underlying our automotive operating lease contracts where we are the lessor and is reported at cost, less accumulated depreciation and net of impairment charges, if any, and origination fees or costs. Depreciation of vehicles is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term to an amount that is generally equal to the estimated residual value plus any OEM residual value guarantee. Manufacturer support payments and tax credits that we receive are treated as a reduction to the cost-basis in the underlying operating lease asset, which has the effect of reducing depreciation expense over the life of the contract. Income from
operating lease assets including lease origination fees, net of lease origination costs, is recognized as operating lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the scheduled lease term. We have elected to exclude sales taxes collected from the lessee from our consideration in the lease contract and from variable lease payments that are not included in contract consideration. We accrue rental income on our operating leases when collection is reasonably assured. We generally discontinue the accrual of revenue on operating leases at the time an account is determined to be uncollectible, which we determine to be the earliest of (i) the time of repossession, (ii) within 60 days of bankruptcy notification, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that repayment is likely to occur, or (iii) greater than 120 days past due.
We have significant investments in the residual values of the assets in our operating lease portfolio. The residual values represent an estimate of the values of the assets at the end of the lease contracts. At contract inception, pricing is determined based on the projected residual value of the leased vehicle. This evaluation is primarily based on a proprietary model, which includes variables such as age, expected mileage, seasonality, segment factors, vehicle type, economic indicators, production cycle, automotive manufacturer incentives, and shifts in used vehicle supply. This internally generated data is compared against third-party, independent data for reasonableness. Realization of the residual values is dependent on our future ability to market the vehicles under the prevailing market conditions and in consideration of any OEM residual value guarantees. Over the life of the lease, we may adjust depreciation rates on lease assets based on changes to estimated residual values of the leased vehicles at lease termination. We generally do not depreciate to amounts greater than the lessee purchase price established at origination. We also evaluate the carrying value of our operating lease assets for impairment when we determine an impairment indicator exists. Impairment indicators consider various triggering events, market considerations, and portfolio characteristics. If an impairment indicator exists and the expected undiscounted future cash flows, including remaining lease payments, estimated residual values, and OEM residual guarantees, is less than the carrying amounts of the asset group then we measure the impairment amount. Impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the operating lease assets exceeds their fair value as estimated by discounted cash flows. No impairment was recognized in 2025, 2024, or 2023.
When a leased vehicle is returned to us, either at the end of the lease term or through repossession, the asset is reclassified from investment in operating leases, net, to other assets and recorded at the lower-of-cost or estimated fair value, less costs to sell, on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Any losses recognized at this time are recorded as depreciation expense. Subsequent decline in value and any gain or loss recognized at the time of sale is recognized as a remarketing gain or loss and presented as a component of depreciation expense.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The net carrying values of long-lived assets (including property and equipment) are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net carrying values may exceed undiscounted future net cash flows. Long-lived assets are considered impaired when the carrying amount is deemed unrecoverable and the carrying amount exceeds fair value. Recoverability is measured by comparing the net carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If these assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured as the amount by which the net carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value using a discounted cash flow method. No material impairment was recognized in 2025, 2024, or 2023.
An impairment test on an asset group to be sold or otherwise disposed of, is performed upon occurrence of a triggering event or when certain criteria are met (for example, the asset is planned to be disposed of within 12 months, appropriate levels of authority have approved the sale, there is an active program to locate a buyer, etc.), which cause the disposal group to be classified as held-for-sale. Long-lived assets held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the net carrying value of the assets held-for-sale exceeds the fair value less cost to sell, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the net carrying amount over the fair value of the assets less cost to sell.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, are reported in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Buildings, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements, IT hardware and software, and assets under construction are among the types of items included in property and equipment. We begin depreciating these assets when they are ready for their intended use, except for assets under construction, which begin depreciating when they are ready to be placed into service. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally ranges from three to thirty years, depending on the asset class. Capitalized software is generally amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life, which generally ranges from three to five years. Capitalized software that is not expected to provide substantive service potential or for which development costs significantly exceed the amount originally expected is considered impaired and written down to fair value. Software expenditures that are considered general, administrative, or of a maintenance nature are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Goodwill and intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, are reported in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Our intangible assets primarily consist of developed technology and acquired customer relationships, and are amortized using a straight-line methodology over their estimated useful lives. We review intangible assets with a definite useful life for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles. We allocate goodwill to applicable reporting units based on the relative fair value of the other net assets allocated to those reporting units at
the time of the acquisition. In the event we restructure our business, we may reallocate goodwill. We test goodwill for impairment annually as of July 31 of each year, or more frequently if events and changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that impairment exists. In certain situations, we may perform a qualitative assessment to test goodwill for impairment. We may also decide to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative assessment. If we perform the qualitative assessment to test goodwill for impairment and conclude that it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is greater than its carrying value, then the quantitative assessment is not required. However, if we perform the qualitative assessment and determine that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, then we must perform the quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment requires us to compare the fair value of each of the reporting units to their respective carrying value. The fair value of the reporting units in our quantitative assessment is determined based on various analyses including discounted cash flow projections using assumptions a market participant would use. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over its fair value. For additional information related to goodwill impairment losses, refer to Note 13.
Unearned Insurance Premiums and Service Revenue
Insurance premiums, net of premiums ceded to reinsurers, and service revenue are earned over the terms of the policies. The portion of premiums and service revenue written applicable to the unexpired terms of the policies is recorded as unearned insurance premiums or unearned service revenue. For vehicle service, GAP, and maintenance contracts, premiums and service revenues are earned on a basis proportionate to the anticipated cost emergence. For additional information related to these contracts, refer to Note 3. For other short duration contracts, premiums and service revenue are earned on a pro rata basis. For further information, refer to Note 4.
Deferred Insurance Policy and Service Contract Acquisition Costs
Incremental direct costs incurred to originate a policy or service contract are deferred and recorded in premiums receivable and other insurance assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. These costs primarily include commissions paid to dealers to originate these policies or service contracts and vary with the production of business. Deferred policy and service contract acquisition costs are amortized over the terms of the related policies and service contracts on the same basis as premiums and service revenue are earned. We group costs incurred for acquiring like contracts and consider anticipated investment income in determining the recoverability of these costs.
Reserves for Insurance Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
Reserves for insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. They are established for the unpaid cost of insured events that have occurred at a point in time. More specifically, the reserves for insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses represent the accumulation of estimates for both reported losses and those incurred, but not reported, including loss adjustment expenses relating to direct insurance and assumed reinsurance agreements.
We use a combination of methods commonly used in the insurance industry, including the chain ladder development factor, expected loss, BF, and frequency and severity methods to determine the ultimate losses for an individual business line as well as accident year basis depending on the maturity of the accident period and business-line specifics. These methodologies are based on different assumptions and use various inputs to develop alternative estimates of losses. The chain ladder development factor is used for more mature years while the expected loss, BF, and frequency and severity methods are used for less mature years. Both paid and incurred loss and loss adjustment expenses are reviewed where available and a weighted average of estimates or a single method may be considered in selecting the final estimate for an individual accident period. We did not change our methodology for developing reserves for insurance losses for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Estimates for salvage and subrogation recoverable are recognized in accordance with historical patterns and netted against the provision for insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses. Reserves are established for each product-type at the lowest meaningful level of homogeneous data. Since the reserves are based on estimates, the ultimate liability may vary from these estimates. The estimates are regularly reviewed and adjustments, which can potentially be significant, are included in earnings in the period in which they are deemed necessary.
Legal and Regulatory Reserves
Liabilities for legal and regulatory matters are accrued and established when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable, with a corresponding amount recorded to other operating expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Income. In cases where we have an accrual for losses, we include an estimate for probable and estimable legal expenses related to the case. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency related to a legal or regulatory matter is not both probable and estimable, we do not establish a liability for the contingency. We continue to monitor legal and regulatory matters for further developments that could affect the requirement to establish a liability or that may impact the amount of a previously established liability. There may be exposure to loss in excess of any amounts recognized. For certain other matters where the risk of loss is determined to be reasonably possible, estimable, and material to the financial statements, disclosure regarding details of the matter and an estimated range of loss is required. The estimated range of possible loss does not represent our maximum loss exposure. We also disclose matters that are deemed probable or reasonably possible, material to the financial statements, but for which an estimated range of loss is not possible to determine. While we believe our reserves are adequate, the outcome of legal and regulatory proceedings is extremely difficult to predict, and we may settle claims or be subject to judgments for amounts that differ from our estimates. For information regarding the nature of all material contingencies, refer to Note 29.
Earnings per Common Share
We compute basic earnings per common share by dividing net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders after deducting dividends on preferred stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We compute diluted earnings per common share by dividing net income from continuing operations after deducting dividends on preferred stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilution resulting from incremental shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued (assuming it does not have the effect of antidilution), if applicable.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We use derivative instruments primarily for risk management purposes. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes. Certain of our derivative instruments are designated as accounting hedges in qualifying relationships, whereas other derivative instruments have not been designated as accounting hedges. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, all derivative instruments, whether designated as accounting hedges or not, are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. We have elected to report the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis—including the fair value for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral—arising from instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement where we do not have the intent to offset. The right to claim cash collateral is reported in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The obligation to return cash collateral is reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. For additional information on derivative instruments and hedging activities, refer to Note 21.
At the inception of a qualifying hedge accounting relationship, we designate each qualifying relationship as a hedge of the fair value of a specifically identified asset or liability or portfolio of assets (fair value hedge); as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid, or forecasted to be received or paid, related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge); or as a hedge of the foreign-currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedge). We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives for undertaking such hedge transactions. Both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, we formally assess whether the derivatives that are used in hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments qualifying as fair value hedges, along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period earnings. For non-portfolio layer method hedges, the hedge basis (the amount of the change in fair value) is added to (or subtracted from) the carrying amount of the hedged item. For portfolio layer method hedges, the hedge basis does not adjust the carrying value of the hedged item and is instead maintained on a closed portfolio basis. For qualifying cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in the income statement when the hedged cash flows affect earnings. For a qualifying net investment hedge, the gain or loss is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment.
Hedge accounting treatment is no longer applied if a derivative financial instrument is terminated, the hedge designation is removed, or the derivative instrument is assessed to no longer be highly effective. For terminated fair value hedges, the hedge basis remains as part of the basis of the hedged asset or liability and is recognized into income over the remaining life of the asset or liability. For terminated portfolio layer method hedges, the hedge basis associated with the discontinued portion of the hedged item is allocated to the remaining individual assets within the closed portfolio that supported the discontinued hedged layer and is recognized into income over the remaining life of those assets. For terminated cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument remain in accumulated other comprehensive income and are recognized in the income statement when the hedged cash flows affect earnings. However, if it is probable that the forecasted cash flows will not occur within a specified period, any changes in fair value of the derivative financial instrument remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings immediately. Any previously recognized gain or loss for a net investment hedge continues to remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until earnings are impacted by a sale or liquidation of the associated foreign operation. In all instances, after hedge accounting is no longer applied, any subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative instrument will be recorded into earnings.
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments held for risk management purposes that are not designated as accounting hedges under U.S. GAAP (economic hedges) are reported in current period earnings.
Income Taxes
Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect our best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes predominantly in the United States. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not, that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
We use the portfolio approach with respect to reclassification of stranded income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Our ITCs are generally accounted for using the deferral method and recognized as a reduction of the corresponding asset value. However, ITCs that qualify for proportional amortization treatment are accounted for using the flow-through method and are recognized as a reduction to current income tax expense.
We recognize the financial statement effects of uncertain income tax positions when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Also, we recognize accrued interest and penalties related to liabilities for uncertain income tax positions in interest expense and other operating expenses, respectively. For additional information regarding our provision for income taxes, refer to Note 22.
Share-based Compensation
Our compensation and benefits expenses include the cost of share-based awards issued to employees. For equity classified share-based awards, compensation cost is ratably charged to expense based on the grant date fair value of the awards over the applicable service periods. Liability classified share-based awards are measured quarterly at fair value based on our share price. Compensation cost related to liability classified awards is ratably charged to expense based on the fair value at each reporting date. We have made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur. Refer to Note 23 for a discussion of our share-based compensation plans.
Foreign Exchange
Foreign-denominated assets and liabilities resulting from foreign-currency transactions are valued using period-end foreign-exchange rates and the results of operations and cash flows are determined using approximate weighted average exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are related to foreign subsidiaries using local currency as their functional currency and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Translation gains or losses are reclassified to earnings upon the substantial sale or liquidation of our investments in foreign operations. We may elect to enter into foreign-currency derivatives to mitigate our exposure to changes in foreign-exchange rates. Refer to the Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities section above for a discussion of our hedging activities of the foreign-currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09)
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The purpose of this guidance is to enhance the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. This ASU requires that an entity disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. For the state and local income tax category of the rate reconciliation, entities must disclose a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority (greater than 50 percent) of the category. For the income taxes paid disclosures, entities are required to disclose, on an annual basis, the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes. We adopted the amendments effective for annual reporting beginning January 1, 2025, using the retrospective approach. The impact of these amendments was not material.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (ASU 2024-03)
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The purpose of this ASU is to provide additional disclosure that will allow investors to better understand an entity’s performance, better assess an entity’s prospects for future cash flows, and more easily compare an entity’s performance over time and in relation to other similar entities. This ASU will require that an entity disclose, on an interim and annual basis, a disaggregation in the notes to the financial statements of certain income statement line items if the line item includes any of the five required expense categories, which are defined as (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation (including amortization of a finance ROU asset and leasehold improvements), (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depletion expense. For the “employee compensation” category, banking entities may continue to present compensation expense on the face of the income statement in accordance with Regulation S-X Rule 210.9-04. The disclosure should include a qualitative description of other expenses included within the income statement line item that are otherwise not disaggregated. This ASU will also require entities to disclose their total selling expenses for each reporting period. Selling expenses are not defined within the ASU, which will require entities to determine and disclose how they define selling expenses on an annual basis. The amendments are effective on January 1, 2027, for annual reporting, and for interim reporting thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The amendments must be applied using either a prospective or retrospective approach. We do not expect the impact of these amendments to be material.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06)
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The purpose of this ASU is to improve the accounting for internal-use software costs by aligning the accounting with modern software development processes. This ASU removes all references to sequential software development project stages from U.S. GAAP, but does not change the types of costs that are eligible to be capitalized. Under the updated guidance, entities will be required to begin capitalizing software project costs when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended (called the “probable-to-complete” threshold). When evaluating whether the probable-to-complete threshold is met, entities must consider whether there is significant development uncertainty associated with the software, including determining whether the software project contains technological innovations or novel, unique, or unproven functions or features. Entities should also consider if there are significant performance requirements (e.g., functions or features) of the software project that have not yet been identified or continue to be substantially revised. The amendments do not define what is considered “significant” and instead will require management judgment. The amendments are effective January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can be applied using a prospective approach, a retrospective approach, or a modified approach that bases the adoption of the amendments on the completion status of the software project as of the adoption date. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments.
Purchased Loans (ASU 2025-08)
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. This ASU expands the gross-up approach applied to PCD financial assets to loans that are purchased and considered seasoned, excluding credit card loans, debt securities, and trade receivables accounted for under the revenue recognition guidance. Under the expanded gross-up approach, the amortized cost basis for a seasoned loan receivable will be the purchase price plus the initial measurement of the allowance for loan losses, on the acquisition date. Any remaining discount embedded in the purchase price will be amortized into interest income over the term of the loan. The purchased seasoned loan designation would be evaluated on a loan-by-loan basis. Loans acquired in a business combination would be considered seasoned. For a loan acquired through an asset transfer or by consolidating a VIE, the acquisition must be at least 90 days after loan origination and the acquirer must not have been involved in originating the loan for the loan to be considered seasoned. The amendments are effective January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted and must be adopted on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]  
Held-for-sale Operations Held-for-sale Operations
During the fourth quarter of 2024, we began exploring strategic alternatives for Ally Credit Card, which resulted in a triggering event for goodwill impairment purposes, and recognized an $118 million goodwill impairment charge.
On January 20, 2025, we formally approved our commitment to divest our credit card operations, Ally Credit Card, and entered a definitive agreement with CardWorks, Inc. The assets and liabilities of Ally Credit Card were transferred to assets and liabilities of operations held-for-sale in 2025, and the sale occurred on April 1, 2025. Ally Credit Card was a component of our Corporate and Other segment. The related operating results have been presented within continuing operations in the Consolidated Statement of Income for all periods presented.
In connection with the classification of the operations as held-for-sale, the disposal group was measured at the lower-of-cost or fair value. First, the finance receivables and loans, along with the remaining assets and liabilities, were classified as held-for-sale and measured at the lower-of-cost or fair value. The fair value was determined based on the sales agreement with the third-party purchaser. Next, the carrying value of the disposal group was compared to fair value, which resulted in a goodwill impairment charge. Lastly, we recorded a valuation allowance on other assets related to estimated selling expenses. As a result, we recognized a net pretax loss of $8 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, which was comprised of a benefit of $306 million to our provision for credit losses, offset by a $2 million asset impairment related to Ally Credit Card branded plastics, a goodwill impairment charge of $305 million, and a valuation allowance on other assets of $7 million. We do not expect to recognize any significant incremental costs related to this transaction.
v3.25.4
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2025
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Our primary revenue sources, which include financing revenue and other interest income, are addressed by other U.S. GAAP topics and are not in the scope of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. As part of our Insurance operations, we recognize revenue from insurance contracts, which are addressed by other U.S. GAAP topics and are not included in the scope of this standard. Certain noninsurance contracts within our Insurance operations, including VSCs, GAP contracts, and VMCs, are included in the scope of this standard. All revenue associated with noninsurance contracts is recognized over the contract term on a basis proportionate to the anticipated cost emergence. Further, commissions and sales expense incurred to obtain these contracts are amortized over the terms of the related policies and service contracts on the same basis as premiums and service revenue are earned, and all advertising costs are recognized as expense when incurred.
The following is a description of our primary revenue sources that are derived from contracts with customers. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, and in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For information regarding our revenue recognition policies outside the scope of the revenue recognition principles of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, refer to Note 1.
Noninsurance contracts — We sell VSCs that offer owners mechanical repair protection and roadside assistance for new and used vehicles beyond the manufacturer’s new vehicle limited warranty. We sell GAP contracts that protect the customer against having
to pay certain amounts to a lender above the fair market value of their vehicle if the vehicle is damaged and declared a total loss or stolen. We also sell VMCs that provide coverage for certain agreed-upon services, such as oil changes and tire rotations, over the coverage period. We receive payment in full at the inception of each of these contracts. Our performance obligation for these contracts is satisfied over the term of the contract and we recognize revenue over the contract term on a basis proportionate to the anticipated incurrence of costs, as we believe this is the most appropriate method to measure progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation. This revenue is recorded within insurance premiums and service revenue earned in our Consolidated Statement of Income, while associated cancellation and transfer fees are recorded as other income.
Sale of off-lease vehicles — When a customer’s vehicle lease matures, the customer generally has the option of purchasing or returning the vehicle. If the vehicle is returned to us, we obtain possession with the intent to sell through SmartAuction—our online auction platform, our dealer channel, or through various other physical auctions. Our performance obligation is satisfied and the remarketing gain or loss is recognized when control of the vehicle has passed to the buyer, which coincides with the sale date. Our actual sales proceeds from remarketing the vehicle may be higher or lower than the estimated residual value, after adjusting for any OEM residual value guarantees, resulting in a gain or loss on remarketing recorded through depreciation expense on operating lease assets in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Remarketing fee income — In addition to using SmartAuction as a remarketing channel for our returned lease vehicles, we maintain the SmartAuction internet auction site and administer the auction process for third-party use. We earn a service fee from dealers for every third-party vehicle sold through SmartAuction. Our performance obligation is to provide the online marketplace for used vehicle transactions to be consummated. This obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized when control of the vehicle has passed to the buyer, which coincides with the sale date. This revenue is recorded as remarketing fees within other income in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Brokerage commissions and other revenues through Ally Invest — We charge fees to customers related to their use of certain services on our Ally Invest digital advisory and online brokerage platform. These fees include commissions on low-priced securities, option contracts, certain other security types, account service fees, account management fees on professional portfolio management services, and other ancillary fees. Commissions on customer-directed trades and account service fees are based on published fee schedules and are generated from a customer option to purchase the services offered under the contract. These options do not represent a material right and are only considered a contract when the customer executes their option to purchase these services. Based on this, the term of the contract does not extend beyond the services provided, and accordingly revenue is recognized upon the completion of our performance obligation, which we view as the successful execution of the trade or service. Revenue on professional portfolio management services is calculated monthly based upon a fixed percentage of the client’s assets under management. Due to the fact that this revenue stream is composed of variable consideration that is based on factors outside of our control, we have deemed this revenue as constrained and we are unable to estimate the initial transaction price at the inception of the contract. We have elected to use the practical expedient under U.S. GAAP to recognize revenue monthly based on the amount we are able to invoice the customer. Additionally, we earn revenue when we route customers’ orders to market makers, who then execute customers’ trades. The market makers compensate us for the right to fill the customers’ orders. We also earn revenue from a fee-sharing agreement with our clearing broker related to the interest fee income the clearing broker earns on customer cash balances, securities lending, and margin loans made to our customers. We concluded the initial transaction price is exclusively variable consideration and, based on the nature of our performance obligation to allow the clearing broker to collect interest fee income from cash deposits and customer loans from our customers, we are unable to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized until the total customer cash balance or the total interest income recognized on margin loans has been determined, which occurs monthly. These revenue streams are recorded as other income in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Brokered/agent commissions through Insurance operations — We have agreements with third parties to offer various vehicle protection products to consumers. We also have agreements with third-party insurers to offer various insurance coverages to dealers. Our performance obligation for these arrangements is satisfied when a customer or dealer has purchased a vehicle protection product or an insurance policy through the third-party provider. In determining the initial transaction price for these agreements, we noted that revenue on brokered/agent commissions is based on the volume of vehicle protection product contracts sold or a percentage of insurance premium written, which is not known to us at the inception of the agreements with these third-party providers. We concluded the initial transaction price is exclusively variable consideration and, based on the nature of the performance obligation, we are unable to determine the amount of revenue we will record until the customer purchases a vehicle protection product or a dealer purchases an insurance policy from the third-party provider. Once we are notified of vehicle protection product sales or insurance policies issued by the third-party providers, we record the commission earned as insurance premiums and service revenues earned in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Banking fees and interchange income — We charge depositors various account service fees including those for outgoing wires, excessive transactions, stop payments, and returned deposits. These fees are generated from a customer option to purchase services offered under the contract. These options do not represent a material right and are only considered a contract in accordance with the revenue recognition principles when the customer exercises their option to purchase these account services. Based on this, the term for our contracts with customers is considered day-to-day, and the contract does not extend beyond the services already provided. Revenue derived from deposit account fees is recorded at the point in time we perform the requested service, and is recorded as other income in our Consolidated Statement of Income. As a debit and credit card issuer, we also generated interchange fee income from merchants during debit and credit card transactions and incurred certain corresponding charges from merchant card networks.
For debit card transactions, our performance obligation is satisfied when we have initiated the payment of funds from a customer’s account to a merchant through our contractual agreements with the merchant card networks. For credit card transactions, our performance obligation was satisfied at the time each transaction was captured for settlement with the interchange networks. Interchange fees are reported net of processing fees and customer rewards as other income in our Consolidated Statement of Income.

(a)Fair value includes basis adjustments for securities in closed portfolios with active hedges under the portfolio layer method. This includes a $13 million asset and a $72 million liability for agency mortgage-backed residential securities at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and a $33 million asset and a $34 million liability for agency mortgage-backed commercial securities at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024. These basis adjustments would be allocated to the amortized cost basis of specific securities within the pool if the hedge was dedesignated. Refer to Note 21 for additional information.
(b)Certain available-for-sale securities are included in fair value hedging relationships. Refer to Note 21 for additional information.
(c)Certain entities related to our Insurance operations are required to deposit securities with state regulatory authorities. These deposited securities totaled $14 million and $13 million at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
(d)Investment securities with a fair value of $3.7 billion and $3.4 billion were pledged as collateral at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. This primarily included $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion pledged to secure advances from the FHLB at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. This also included securities pledged for other purposes as required by contractual obligations or law, under which agreements we granted the counterparty the right to sell or pledge $932 million and $439 million of the underlying available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
(e)Totals do not include accrued interest receivable, which was $87 million and $73 million at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Accrued interest receivable is included in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(f)There was no allowance for credit losses recorded at both December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, as management determined that there were no expected credit losses in our portfolio of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities.
(g)Totals do not include accrued interest receivable, which was $13 million and $12 million at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Accrued interest receivable is included in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
As of December 31, 2024, we did not have the intent to sell available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position and we did not believe it was more likely than not that we would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. In the first quarter of 2025, we executed a balance sheet repositioning of a portion of our available-for-sale securities as a result of our capital allocation planning related to the sale of Ally Credit Card. In connection with the repositioning, we sold lower-yielding securities with an amortized cost basis of approximately $4.6 billion for proceeds of $4.1 billion, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $495 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. We reinvested the proceeds in shorter duration, highly liquid securities at market rates at the trade date. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have the intent to sell available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position and we do not believe it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.
The maturity distribution of debt securities outstanding is summarized in the following tables based upon contractual maturities. Call or prepayment options may cause actual maturities to differ from contractual maturities.

(a)Yield is calculated using the effective yield of each security at the end of the period, weighted based on the fair value by security for the securities within each maturity distribution range. The effective yield considers the contractual coupon and amortized cost basis inclusive of hedge basis adjustments for dedesignated hedges, and excludes expected capital gains and losses. Yield does not consider hedging effects for securities in active hedges.
(b)Fair value includes basis adjustments for securities in closed portfolios with active hedges under the portfolio layer method. This includes a $13 million asset and a $72 million liability for agency mortgage-backed residential securities at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and a $33 million asset and a $34 million liability for agency mortgage-backed commercial securities at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. These basis adjustments would be allocated to the amortized cost basis of specific securities within the pool if the hedge was dedesignated. Refer to Note 21 for additional information.
(c)Yield is calculated using the effective yield of each security at the end of the period, weighted based on amortized cost basis by security for the securities within each maturity distribution range. The effective yield considers the contractual coupon and amortized cost basis and excludes capital gains, capital losses, and the premium or discount on securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity.
The balances of cash equivalents were $107 million and $106 million at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and were composed primarily of money-market funds.

(a)Rating agencies indicate that they base their ratings on many quantitative and qualitative factors, which may include capital adequacy, liquidity, asset quality, business mix, level and quality of earnings, and the current operating, legislative, and regulatory environment. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold securities, and the ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
The following table summarizes available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, which we evaluated to determine if a credit loss exists requiring the recognition of an allowance for credit losses. For additional information on our methodology, refer to Note 1. We have not recorded any interest income reversals on our available-for-sale securities during the years ended December 31, 2025, or December 31, 2024.

The basis adjustments would be allocated to the amortized cost basis of specific securities within the pool if the hedge was dedesignated. Refer to Note 21 for additional information.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, management determined that there were no expected credit losses for securities in an unrealized loss position. This analysis considered a variety of factors including, but not limited to, performance indicators of the issuer, default rates, industry analyst reports, credit ratings, and other relevant information, which indicated that contractual cash flows are expected to occur. As a result of this evaluation, management determined that no credit reserves were required at December 31, 2025, or December 31, 2024.

We evaluate the credit quality of our commercial loan portfolio using regulatory risk ratings, which are based on relevant information about the borrower’s financial condition, including current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. We use the following definitions for risk ratings below Pass.
Special mention — Loans that have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard — Loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. These loans have a well-defined weakness or weakness that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful — Loans that have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss — Loans that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.
The regulatory risk classification utilized is influenced by internal credit risk ratings, which are based on a variety of factors. A borrower’s internal credit risk rating is updated at least annually, and more frequently when a borrower’s credit profile changes, including when we become aware of potential credit deterioration. The following tables present the amortized cost basis of our commercial finance receivables and loans by credit quality indicator based on risk rating and origination year.

Loan Modifications with Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The following tables present the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified subsequent to origination during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, for each portfolio segment, by modification type. For additional information on loan modification types in scope of this disclosure, refer to Note 1. The below tables exclude consumer mortgage finance receivables and loans currently enrolled in a trial modification program. Trial modifications generally represent a three-month period during which the borrower makes monthly payments under the anticipated modified payment terms. If the borrower successfully completes the trial loan modification program, the contractual terms of the loan are updated and the modification is considered permanent. As of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, there were $8 million, $4 million, and $5 million of consumer mortgage finance receivables and loans in a trial modification program, respectively.

Leasing Leasing
Ally as the Lessee
We have operating leases for certain of our corporate facilities, which have remaining lease terms of 4 months to 11 years. Most of the property leases have fixed payment terms with annual fixed-escalation clauses and include options to extend or terminate the lease. We do not include these term extensions or termination provisions in our estimates of the lease term if we do not consider it reasonably certain that the options will be exercised.
We also have operating leases for a fleet of vehicles that is used by our sales force for business purposes, with noncancelable lease terms of 367 days. Thereafter, the leases are month-to-month, up to a maximum of 48 months from inception.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we paid $36 million and $35 million in cash for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts are included in net cash provided by operating activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. During the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we obtained $52 million and $34 million, respectively, of ROU assets in exchange for new lease liabilities. As of December 31, 2025, the weighted-average remaining lease term of our operating lease portfolio was 5 years, and the weighted-average discount rate was 3.66%, compared to 3 years and 3.32% as of December 31, 2024.

Ally as the Lessor
Investment in Operating Leases
We purchase consumer operating lease contracts and the associated vehicles from automotive dealerships or manufacturers after those contracts are executed. The amount we pay for an operating lease contract is based on the negotiated price for the vehicle less vehicle trade-in, down payment from the consumer, and available automotive manufacturer incentives. Under the operating lease, the consumer is obligated to make payments in amounts equal to the amount by which the negotiated purchase price of the vehicle (less any trade-in value, down payment,
tax credits, or available manufacturer incentives) exceeds the contract residual value (including residual support) of the vehicle at lease termination, plus operating lease rental charges. The customer can terminate the lease at any point after commencement, subject to additional charges and fees. The consumer, dealership, or automotive manufacturer may have the option to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease term, which generally range from 24 to 60 months, at the residual value of the vehicle, however it is not reasonably certain this option will be exercised and accordingly our consumer leases are classified as operating leases. In addition to the charges described above, the consumer is generally responsible for certain charges related to excess mileage or excessive wear and tear on the vehicle. These charges are deemed variable lease payments and, as these payments are not based on a rate or index, they are recognized as net depreciation expense on operating lease assets in our Consolidated Statement of Income as incurred.
When we acquire a consumer operating lease, we assume ownership of the vehicle. We require that property damage, bodily injury, collision, and comprehensive insurance be obtained by the lessee on all consumer operating leases. When vehicles are not purchased by customers, the receiving dealer, or automotive manufacturer at scheduled lease termination, the vehicle is returned to us for remarketing. We generally bear the risk of loss to the extent the value of a leased vehicle upon remarketing is below the expected residual value after adjusting for any OEM residual value guarantees. At termination, our actual sales proceeds from remarketing the vehicle may be higher or lower than the estimated residual value after adjusting for any OEM residual value guarantees resulting in a gain or loss on remarketing, which is included in net depreciation expense on operating lease assets in our Consolidated Statement of Income. Excessive mileage or excessive wear and tear on the vehicle during the lease may impact the sales proceeds received upon remarketing. As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, consumer operating leases with a carrying value, net of accumulated depreciation, of $3.4 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, were covered by OEM residual value guarantees. Substantially all were covered under an OEM residual value guarantee of approximately 50% of the vehicles’ contract residual value at both December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

We have operating leases for certain of our corporate facilities, which have remaining lease terms of 4 months to 11 years. Most of the property leases have fixed payment terms with annual fixed-escalation clauses and include options to extend or terminate the lease. We do not include these term extensions or termination provisions in our estimates of the lease term if we do not consider it reasonably certain that the options will be exercised.
We also have operating leases for a fleet of vehicles that is used by our sales force for business purposes, with noncancelable lease terms of 367 days. Thereafter, the leases are month-to-month, up to a maximum of 48 months from inception.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we paid $36 million and $35 million in cash for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts are included in net cash provided by operating activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. During the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we obtained $52 million and $34 million, respectively, of ROU assets in exchange for new lease liabilities. As of December 31, 2025, the weighted-average remaining lease term of our operating lease portfolio was 5 years, and the weighted-average discount rate was 3.66%, compared to 3 years and 3.32% as of December 31, 2024.

Investment in Operating Leases
We purchase consumer operating lease contracts and the associated vehicles from automotive dealerships or manufacturers after those contracts are executed. The amount we pay for an operating lease contract is based on the negotiated price for the vehicle less vehicle trade-in, down payment from the consumer, and available automotive manufacturer incentives. Under the operating lease, the consumer is obligated to make payments in amounts equal to the amount by which the negotiated purchase price of the vehicle (less any trade-in value, down payment,
tax credits, or available manufacturer incentives) exceeds the contract residual value (including residual support) of the vehicle at lease termination, plus operating lease rental charges. The customer can terminate the lease at any point after commencement, subject to additional charges and fees. The consumer, dealership, or automotive manufacturer may have the option to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease term, which generally range from 24 to 60 months, at the residual value of the vehicle, however it is not reasonably certain this option will be exercised and accordingly our consumer leases are classified as operating leases. In addition to the charges described above, the consumer is generally responsible for certain charges related to excess mileage or excessive wear and tear on the vehicle. These charges are deemed variable lease payments and, as these payments are not based on a rate or index, they are recognized as net depreciation expense on operating lease assets in our Consolidated Statement of Income as incurred.
When we acquire a consumer operating lease, we assume ownership of the vehicle. We require that property damage, bodily injury, collision, and comprehensive insurance be obtained by the lessee on all consumer operating leases. When vehicles are not purchased by customers, the receiving dealer, or automotive manufacturer at scheduled lease termination, the vehicle is returned to us for remarketing. We generally bear the risk of loss to the extent the value of a leased vehicle upon remarketing is below the expected residual value after adjusting for any OEM residual value guarantees. At termination, our actual sales proceeds from remarketing the vehicle may be higher or lower than the estimated residual value after adjusting for any OEM residual value guarantees resulting in a gain or loss on remarketing, which is included in net depreciation expense on operating lease assets in our Consolidated Statement of Income. Excessive mileage or excessive wear and tear on the vehicle during the lease may impact the sales proceeds received upon remarketing. As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, consumer operating leases with a carrying value, net of accumulated depreciation, of $3.4 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, were covered by OEM residual value guarantees. Substantially all were covered under an OEM residual value guarantee of approximately 50% of the vehicles’ contract residual value at both December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

Securitizations And Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]  
Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities
Overview
We securitize, transfer, and service consumer automotive loans. We often securitize these loans (also referred to as financial assets) using SPEs. An SPE is a legal entity that is designed to fulfill a specified limited need of the sponsor. Our principal use of SPEs is to obtain liquidity by securitizing certain of our financial assets. SPEs are often VIEs and may or may not be included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, we opportunistically sell consumer automotive whole-loans to SPEs where we have a continuing involvement.
Securitizations
In executing a securitization, we typically sell pools of financial assets to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote SPE, which then transfers the financial assets to a separate, transaction-specific SPE for cash, and typically, other retained interests. The SPE is funded through the issuance of beneficial interests, which could take the form of notes or residual interests and can be sold to investors or retained by us. We hold retained beneficial interests in our securitizations including, but not limited to, retained notes, certificated residual interests, as well as certain noncertificated interests retained from the sale of automotive finance receivables. If sold, the beneficial interests only entitle the investors to specified cash flows generated from the underlying securitized assets. If retained, the interests provide credit enhancement to the SPE as they may absorb credit losses or other cash shortfalls and may represent a form of significant continuing economic interests. In addition to providing a source of liquidity and cost-efficient funding, securitizing these financial assets also reduces our credit exposure to the borrowers beyond any economic interest we may retain.
The SPEs are limited to specific activities by their respective legal documents, but are generally allowed to acquire the financial assets, to issue beneficial interests to investors to fund the acquisition of the financial assets, and to enter into interest rate hedges to mitigate certain risks related to the financial assets or beneficial interests of the entity. A servicer, who is generally us, is appointed pursuant to the underlying legal documents to service the assets the SPE holds and the beneficial interests it issues. Servicing functions include, but are not limited to, general collections activity on current and noncurrent accounts, loss mitigation efforts including repossession and sale of collateral, as well as preparing and furnishing statements summarizing the asset and beneficial interest performance. These servicing responsibilities constitute continued involvement in the transferred financial assets.
Cash flows from the securitized financial assets represent the sole source for payment of distributions on the beneficial interests issued by the SPE and for payments to the parties that perform services for the SPE, such as the servicer or the trustee.
We generally hold certain conditional repurchase options specific to securitizations that allow us to repurchase assets from the securitization entity. The majority of the securitizations provide us, as servicer, with a call option that allows us to repurchase the remaining transferred financial assets or redeem outstanding beneficial interests at our discretion once the asset pool reaches a predefined level, which represents the point where servicing becomes administratively burdensome (a clean-up call option). The repurchase price is typically the securitization balance of the assets plus accrued interest when applicable. We generally have discretion regarding when or if we will exercise these options, but we would do so only when it is in our best interest.
Other than our customary representation, warranty, and covenant provisions, these securitizations are nonrecourse to us, thereby transferring the risk of future credit losses to the extent the beneficial interests in the SPEs are held by third parties. Representation, warranty, and certain covenant provisions generally require us to repurchase assets or indemnify the investor or other party for incurred losses to the extent it is determined that the assets were ineligible or were otherwise defective at the time of sale, or otherwise not in compliance with the ongoing covenant obligations. We did not provide any noncontractual financial support to any of these entities during 2025, 2024, or 2023.
Variable Interest Entities
The VIEs included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet represent SPEs where we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, primarily due to our servicing activities and our beneficial interests in the VIE that could be potentially significant. We determine whether we have a
potentially significant beneficial interest in the VIE based on the consideration of both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size, and form of our involvement in the VIE. The third-party investors in the obligations of consolidated VIEs have legal recourse only to the assets of the VIEs and do not have such recourse to us, except for the customary representation, warranty, and covenant provisions. In addition, the cash flows from the assets are restricted only to pay such liabilities. Thus, our economic exposure to loss from outstanding third-party financing related to consolidated VIEs is limited to the carrying value of the consolidated VIE assets. Generally, all assets of consolidated VIEs are restricted for the beneficial interest holders. For additional information regarding our significant accounting policies for consolidated VIEs, refer to the Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations section of Note 1.
The nature, purpose, and activities of nonconsolidated SPEs are similar to those of our consolidated SPEs with the primary difference being the nature and extent of our continuing involvement. For nonconsolidated SPEs, the transferred financial assets are removed from our balance sheet provided the conditions for sale accounting are met. The financial assets obtained from the sale are primarily reported as cash or retained interests (if applicable). Liabilities incurred as part of these sales, are recorded at fair value at the time of sale and are reported as accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Upon the sale of the loans, we recognize a gain or loss on sale for the difference between the assets recognized, the assets derecognized, and the liabilities recognized as part of the transaction. With respect to our ongoing right to service the assets we sell, the servicing fee we receive represents adequate compensation, and consequently, we do not recognize a servicing asset or liability.
The pretax losses on sales of financial assets into nonconsolidated VIEs was $7 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to pretax gains of $3 million and $1 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. For additional information regarding our significant accounting policies for nonconsolidated VIEs, refer to the Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations section of Note 1.
We provide long-term guarantee contracts to investors in certain nonconsolidated affordable housing entities and have extended a line of credit to provide liquidity. Since we do not have control over the entities or the power to make decisions, we do not consolidate the entities and our involvement is limited to the guarantee and the line of credit.
We are involved with various other nonconsolidated equity investments, including affordable housing entities and venture capital funds and loan funds. We do not consolidate these entities and our involvement is limited to our outstanding investment, additional capital committed to these funds plus any previously recognized LIHTCs that are subject to recapture.
The following table presents our involvement in consolidated and nonconsolidated VIEs in which we hold variable interests. We have excluded certain transactions with nonconsolidated entities from the balances presented in the table below, where our only continuing involvement relates to financial interests obtained through the ordinary course of business, primarily from lending and investing arrangements. For additional detail related to the assets and liabilities of consolidated variable interest entities, refer to our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Affordable Housing Investments
We have investments in various limited partnerships that sponsor affordable housing projects, which meet the definition of a VIE. The purpose of these investments is to achieve a satisfactory return on capital through the receipt of LIHTC and to assist us in achieving goals associated with the CRA. Our affordable housing investments are accounted for using the proportional amortization method of accounting, which recognizes the amortized cost basis of the investment as a component of income tax expense. Refer to Note 13 for more information on our proportional amortization investments.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a $118 million goodwill impairment charge when we began exploring strategic alternatives for Ally Credit Card, which resulted in a triggering event for goodwill impairment. As a result, we performed a quantitative impairment test using a combination of valuation methodologies, including an income approach and a market approach, to determine the fair market value of Ally Credit Card as of the valuation date, November 30, 2024, which resulted in the impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a $305 million goodwill impairment charge at Corporate and Other related to the transfer of Ally Credit Card to held-for-sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Subsequent to the impairment charge, the goodwill balance of $56 million was transferred to assets of operations held-for-sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We closed the sale of Ally Credit Card on April 1, 2025. For additional information, refer to Note 2.

We periodically enter into term repurchase agreements—short-term borrowing agreements in which we sell securities to one or more investors while simultaneously committing to repurchase them at a specified future date, at the stated price plus accrued interest. As of December 31, 2025, the securities sold under agreements to repurchase consisted of $462 million in U.S. Treasury securities and $83 million in agency mortgage backed residential debt securities, of which $462 million in repurchase agreements were set to mature within 30 days, and the remaining $83 million of repurchase agreements are set to mature within 31 to 60 days.
The primary risk associated with these repurchase agreements is that the counterparty will be unable to perform under the terms of the contract. As the borrower, we are exposed to the excess fair value of the securities pledged over the amount borrowed. Daily mark-to-market collateral management is designed to limit this risk to the initial margin. However, should a counterparty declare bankruptcy or become insolvent, we may incur additional delays and costs. In some instances, we may place or receive cash collateral with counterparties under collateral arrangements associated with our repurchase agreements. As of December 31, 2025, we placed cash collateral of $1 million related to repurchase agreements.

Proceeds from the offering were used to redeem a portion of our 8.125% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Trust Preferred Securities, Series 2 of GMAC Capital Trust I. Dividends on shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are discretionary and are not cumulative. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, if, when and as declared by our Board, or a duly authorized committee of the Board, out of legally available assets, non-cumulative cash dividends quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2021. Dividends will accrue (i) from the date of original issue to, but excluding, May 15, 2026, at a fixed rate of 4.700% per annum and (ii) from, and including, May 15, 2026, during each five-year reset period, at a rate per annum equal to the five-year treasury rate as of the most recent reset dividend determination date plus 3.868% on the liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share. So long as any share of Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding, unless the dividends for the most recently completed dividend period have been paid in full, or set aside for payment, on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, we will be prohibited, subject to certain specified exceptions, from (i) declaring or paying any dividends or making any distributions with respect to any stock that ranks on a parity basis with, or junior in interest to, the Series B Preferred Stock or (ii) repurchasing, redeeming, or otherwise acquiring for consideration, directly or indirectly, any stock that ranks on a parity basis with, or junior in interest to, the Series B Preferred Stock.
The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock do not have voting rights other than those set forth in the certificate of designations for the Series B Preferred Stock included in Ally’s Certificate of Incorporation.

So long as any share of Series C Preferred Stock remains outstanding, unless the dividends for the most recently completed dividend period have been paid in full, or set aside for payment, on all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, we will be prohibited, subject to certain specified exceptions, from (i) declaring or paying any dividends or

Regulatory Capital and Other Regulatory Matters Regulatory Capital and Other Regulatory Matters
Ally is subject to enhanced prudential standards that have been established by the FRB under the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended by the EGRRCP Act and as applied to Category IV firms under the Tailoring Rules. Refer to the discussion below, however, about rules proposed by the U.S. banking agencies in 2023 that would significantly alter the Tailoring Rules. Currently, as a Category IV firm, Ally is (1) subject to supervisory stress testing on a two-year cycle, (2) required to submit an annual capital plan to the FRB, (3) exempted from company-run capital stress testing requirements, (4) required to maintain a buffer of unencumbered highly liquid assets to meet projected net stressed cash outflows over a 30-day planning horizon, (5) exempted from the requirements of the LCR and the net stable funding ratio (provided that our average wSTWF continues to remain under $50 billion), (6) exempted from the requirements of the supplementary leverage ratio, the countercyclical capital buffer, and single-counterparty credit limits, and (7) eligible to exclude most elements of accumulated other comprehensive income from regulatory capital. Even so, we are subject to rules enabling the FRB to conduct supervisory stress testing on a more or less frequent basis based on our financial condition, size, complexity, risk profile, scope of operations, or activities or based on risks to the U.S. economy. Further, we are subject to rules requiring the resubmission of our capital plan if we determine that there has been or will be a material change in our risk profile, financial condition, or corporate structure since we last submitted the capital plan or if the FRB determines that (a) our capital plan is incomplete or our capital plan or internal capital adequacy process contains material weaknesses, (b) there has been, or will likely be, a material change in our risk profile (including a material change in our business strategy or any risk exposure), financial condition, or corporate structure, or (c) the BHC stress scenario(s) are not appropriate for our business model and portfolios, or changes in the financial markets or the macroeconomic outlook that could have a material impact on our risk profile and financial condition require the use of updated scenarios. While a resubmission is pending, without prior approval of the FRB, we would generally be prohibited from paying dividends, repurchasing our common stock, or making other capital distributions. In addition, to satisfy the FRB in its review of our capital plan, we may be required to further cease or limit these capital distributions or to issue capital instruments that could be dilutive to shareholders. The FRB also may prevent us from maintaining or expanding lending or other business activities.
Basel Capital Framework
The FRB and other U.S. banking agencies have adopted risk-based and leverage capital rules that establish minimum capital-to-asset ratios for BHCs, like Ally, and depository institutions, like Ally Bank.
The risk-based capital ratios are based on a banking organization’s RWAs, which are generally determined under the standardized approach applicable to Ally and Ally Bank by (1) assigning on-balance-sheet exposures to broad risk-weight categories according to the counterparty or, if relevant, the guarantor or collateral (with higher risk weights assigned to categories of exposures perceived as representing greater risk), and (2) multiplying off-balance-sheet exposures by specified credit conversion factors to calculate credit equivalent amounts and assigning those credit equivalent amounts to the relevant risk-weight categories. The leverage ratio, in contrast, is based on an institution’s average unweighted on-balance-sheet exposures.
Under U.S. Basel III, Ally and Ally Bank must maintain a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6%, and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8%. On top of the minimum risk-based capital ratios, Ally and Ally Bank are subject to a capital conservation buffer requirement, which must be satisfied entirely with capital that qualifies as Common Equity Tier 1 capital. Failure to maintain more than the full amount of the capital conservation buffer requirement would result in automatic restrictions on the ability of Ally and Ally Bank to make capital distributions, including dividend payments and share repurchases and redemptions, and to pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers. U.S. Basel III also subjects Ally and Ally Bank to a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. While the capital conservation buffer requirement for Ally Bank is fixed at 2.5% of RWAs, the capital conservation buffer requirement for a Category IV firm, like Ally, is equal to its stress capital buffer requirement. The stress capital buffer requirement for Ally, in turn, is the greater of 2.5% and the result of the following calculation: (1) the difference between Ally’s starting and minimum projected Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratios under the severely adverse scenario in the supervisory stress test, plus (2) the sum of the dollar amount of Ally’s planned common stock dividends for each of the fourth through seventh quarters of its nine-quarter capital planning horizon, as a percentage of RWAs. As of December 31, 2025, the stress capital buffer requirement for Ally was 2.6%. Refer to the discussion below regarding a rule proposed by the FRB that would make certain changes to the methodology for determining the stress capital buffer requirement.
Ally and Ally Bank are currently subject to the U.S. Basel III standardized approach for credit risk but not to the U.S. Basel III advanced approaches for credit risk or operational risk. Ally is also not currently subject to the U.S. market-risk capital rule, which applies only to banking organizations with significant trading assets and liabilities. Since Ally and Ally Bank are currently not subject to the advanced approaches risk-based capital rules, we elected to apply a one-time option to exclude most components of accumulated other comprehensive income and loss from regulatory capital. As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, Ally had $2.8 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of applicable income taxes, that was excluded from Common Equity Tier 1 capital. Refer to the discussion below about rules proposed by the U.S. banking agencies in 2023 that would require us to recognize all components of accumulated other comprehensive income and loss in regulatory capital, except gains and losses on cash-flow hedges where the hedged items are not recognized on our balance sheet at fair value. Refer also to Note 18 for additional details about our accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Failure to satisfy regulatory-capital requirements could result in significant sanctions—such as bars or other limits on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses to executive officers, limitations on acquisitions and new activities, restrictions on our acceptance of brokered deposits, a loss of our status as an FHC, or informal or formal enforcement and other supervisory actions—and could have a significant adverse effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements or the business, results of operations, financial condition, or prospects of Ally and Ally Bank.
The risk-based capital ratios and the Tier 1 leverage ratio play a central role in PCA, which is an enforcement framework used by the U.S. banking agencies to constrain the activities of depository institutions based on their levels of regulatory capital. Five categories have been established using thresholds for the Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, the total risk-based capital ratio, and the Tier 1 leverage ratio: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution, including any payment of a cash dividend or a management fee to its BHC, if the depository institution would become undercapitalized after the distribution. An undercapitalized institution is also subject to growth limitations and must submit and fulfill a capital restoration plan. Although BHCs are not subject to the PCA framework, the FRB is empowered to compel a BHC to take measures—such as the execution of financial or performance guarantees—when PCA is required in connection with one of its depository-institution subsidiaries. At both December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, Ally Bank met the capital ratios required to be well capitalized under the PCA framework.
Under FDICIA and the PCA framework, IDIs such as Ally Bank must be well capitalized or, with a waiver from the FDIC, adequately capitalized in order to accept brokered deposits, and even adequately capitalized institutions are subject to some restrictions on the rates they may offer for brokered deposits. Our brokered deposits totaled $6.7 billion at December 31, 2025, which represented 4.4% of total deposit liabilities.

On January 1, 2020, we adopted CECL. Refer to Note 1 for additional information about our allowance for loan losses accounting policy. Under a rule finalized by the FRB and other U.S. banking agencies in 2020, we delayed recognizing the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital until after a two-year deferral period, which for us extended through December 31, 2021. Beginning on January 1, 2022, we were required to phase in 25% of the previously deferred estimated capital impact of CECL, with an additional 25% phased in at the beginning of each subsequent year until fully phased in by the first quarter of 2025. The estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital that we deferred and began phasing in on January 1, 2022, was generally calculated as the entire day-one impact at adoption plus 25% of the subsequent change in allowance during the two-year deferral period. As of January 1, 2025, the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital was fully phased in.
In July 2023, the U.S. banking agencies issued a proposed rule to customize and implement revisions to the global Basel III capital framework that were approved by the Basel Committee in December 2017. Among other things, the proposed rule would require the recognition in regulatory capital of most elements of accumulated other comprehensive income and loss and the application of deductions, limitations, and criteria for specified capital investments, minority interests, and TLAC holdings. As proposed, the phase-in of accumulated other comprehensive income and loss would be expected to significantly affect our levels of regulatory capital. While we believe that this would be manageable, we also anticipate that our levels of regulatory capital would need to be gradually increased in advance of and during any transition period. However, the federal banking regulators have subsequently indicated that they expect to issue a revised proposal, the timing and contents of which are uncertain.
In August 2023, the U.S. banking agencies issued a proposed rule that would require Category II, III, and IV firms, their large consolidated IDI subsidiaries, and other institutions to issue and maintain minimum amounts of eligible long-term debt. Due to the current structure and amount of debt instruments issued by Ally and Ally Bank, we expect the long-term debt rule, if finalized substantially as proposed, to significantly affect us.
In April 2025, the FRB issued a proposed rule that would modify certain aspects of its supervisory stress tests. Under the proposed rule, the stress capital buffer requirement for Category I–III firms subject to the capital plan rule would be calculated using a methodology that averages results from each of the prior two consecutive annual supervisory stress tests. For Category IV firms subject to the capital plan rule, like Ally, the stress capital buffer requirement would be determined under this two-year averaging methodology only if they choose or are otherwise required to be subject to consecutive supervisory stress tests. According to the FRB, this change is intended to reduce the volatility of a firm’s regulatory capital requirement inherent in the current approach of using the results from only the most recent supervisory stress test. Additionally, to provide firms additional time to adjust to their new regulatory capital requirements, the proposal would delay the annual effective date of a firm’s updated stress capital buffer requirement from October 1 to January 1 of the following year. The proposed rule would have been effective beginning with the stress capital buffer requirement from the 2025 supervisory stress test, which would have been calculated as the average of the stress capital decline components from the 2024 and 2025 supervisory stress tests for applicable firms.
In October 2025, the FRB issued proposals to enhance the transparency and public accountability of its annual stress test, which is used to set the stress capital buffers for large BHCs, including Ally. The proposals request comment on several elements of the stress test, including the models and scenarios used; an enhanced disclosure process for the scenarios and material model changes in future stress test cycles; modifications to reporting forms; and an adjusted timeline for the annual process to accommodate a comment period for scenarios and material model changes.
In February 2026, the FRB issued final stress test scenarios for the 2026 supervisory stress test, and announced it intends to maintain stress capital buffer requirements at their current level until 2027 when new requirements can be calculated based on models that take public feedback into consideration. Whether and when final rules related to these stress-testing proposals may be adopted and take effect, as well as what changes to the proposed rules may be reflected in any such final rules, remain unclear.
Capital Planning and Stress Tests
Under the Tailoring Rules, we are generally subject to supervisory stress testing on a two-year cycle and exempted from mandated company-run capital stress testing requirements. We are also required to submit an annual capital plan to the FRB. Our annual capital plan must include an assessment of our expected uses and sources of capital and a description of all planned capital actions over a nine-quarter planning horizon, including any issuance of a debt or equity capital instrument, any dividend or other capital distribution, and any similar action that the FRB determines could have an impact on our capital. The plan must also include a detailed description of our process for assessing capital adequacy, including a discussion of how we, under expected and stressful conditions, will maintain capital commensurate with our risks and above the minimum regulatory capital ratios, will serve as a source of strength to Ally Bank, and will maintain sufficient capital to continue our operations by maintaining ready access to funding, meeting our obligations to creditors and other counterparties, and continuing to serve as a credit intermediary.
The Tailoring Rules align capital planning, supervisory stress testing, and stress capital buffer requirements for large banking organizations, like Ally. As a Category IV firm, Ally is expected to have the ability to elect to participate in the supervisory stress test—and receive a correspondingly updated stress capital buffer requirement—in a year in which Ally would not generally be subject to the supervisory stress test. Refer to the section titled Basel Capital Framework above for further discussion about our stress capital buffer requirements. During a year in which Ally does not undergo a supervisory stress test, we would receive an updated stress capital buffer requirement only to reflect our updated planned common-stock dividends. Ally did not elect to participate in the 2023 or 2025 supervisory stress tests, but was subject to the 2024 supervisory stress test.
We received an updated preliminary stress capital buffer requirement based on our 2023 capital plan submission from the FRB in June 2023 that remained unchanged at 2.5%. The 2.5% stress capital buffer requirement was finalized in July 2023 and became effective in October 2023. We submitted our 2024 capital plan to the FRB in April 2024, and received an updated preliminary stress capital buffer requirement from the FRB in June 2024 of 2.6%. The updated 2.6% stress capital buffer requirement was finalized in August 2024, and became effective in October 2024. We submitted our 2025 capital plan to the FRB in April 2025, and received in June 2025 an updated preliminary stress capital buffer requirement that remained unchanged at 2.6%. The 2.6% stress capital buffer requirement was finalized in August 2025, and became effective in October 2025. Under the capital plan rule, our 2026 capital plan must be submitted to the FRB by April 5, 2026, and will be reviewed by the FRB in consideration of Ally’s 2026 supervisory stress test results.
In February 2023 and December 2024, we accessed the unsecured debt capital markets each time issuing $500 million of additional subordinated notes, which qualify as Tier 2 capital for Ally under U.S. Basel III. During the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, we accessed the debt capital markets and issued an aggregate of $1.1 billion and $770 million, respectively, of credit-linked notes based on combined reference portfolios of $10.0 billion and $7.0 billion of consumer automotive loans. The proceeds from these credit-linked notes issuances constitute prefunded credit protection for mezzanine tranches of the respective reference portfolio and are recognized as restricted cash and cash equivalents in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. These transactions are structured to enable us to apply the securitization framework under U.S. Basel III when determining RWA for our retained exposure, which recognizes the credit risk mitigation benefits and generally provides lower risk weights relative to those assigned to consumer automotive loans that are not securitized. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, $12.1 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively, of our consumer automotive loans and related exposures were included as reference assets in these credit-linked notes transactions.
On December 9, 2025, our Board authorized a share repurchase program, permitting us to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of our common stock under a multi-year program without a set expiration date. Since the commencement of our initial share repurchase program in the third quarter of 2016, we have reduced the number of outstanding shares of our common stock by 36%, from 484 million as of June 30, 2016, to 308 million as of December 31, 2025. Our ability to make capital distributions, including our ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock, will continue to be subject to the FRB’s review and our internal governance requirements, including approval by our Board. The amount and size of any future dividends and share repurchases also will be subject to various factors, including Ally’s capital and liquidity positions, accounting and regulatory considerations (including any restrictions that may be imposed by the FRB and any changes to capital, liquidity, and other regulatory requirements that may be proposed or adopted by the U.S. banking agencies), Ally’s financial and operational performance, alternative uses of capital, the trading price of Ally’s common stock, and general market conditions. The share repurchase program does not obligate Ally to acquire a specific dollar amount or number of shares, and may be extended, modified, or discontinued at any time.

Depository Institutions
Ally Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the FRB, the UDFI, the FDIC, and the CFPB. Ally Bank is an insured depository institution and, as such, is required to file periodic reports with the FDIC about its financial condition. Total assets of Ally Bank were $184.6 billion and $181.4 billion at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Federal and Utah law place a number of conditions, limits, and other restrictions on dividends and other capital distributions that may be paid by Ally Bank to IB Finance and thus indirectly to Ally. Dividends or other distributions made by Ally Bank indirectly to Ally were $1.2 billion in both 2025 and 2024.
Under rules of the FDIC, Ally Bank is required to periodically submit to the FDIC a resolution plan that would enable the FDIC, as receiver, to resolve Ally Bank in the event of its insolvency under the FDI Act in a manner that ensures that depositors receive access to their insured deposits within one business day of Ally Bank’s failure (two business days if the failure occurs on a day other than Friday), maximizes the net present value return from the sale or disposition of its assets, and minimizes the amount of any loss realized by creditors in the resolution. In June 2024, the FDIC issued a final rule that requires each CIDI with $100 billion or more in total assets, like Ally Bank, to periodically submit resolution plans (commonly known as living wills) that are designed to enable the FDIC as receiver to resolve the bank in a timely and orderly manner under the FDI Act in the event of its insolvency. The final rule became effective on October 1, 2024. Ally Bank submitted its first interim supplement under the new rule on June 23, 2025, and its first full resolution submission is due by July 1, 2026. If the FDIC determines that the resolution plan is not credible and deficiencies are not adequately remediated in a timely manner, the FDIC may take formal or informal supervisory actions against us.
Insurance Companies
Some of our insurance operations—including in the United States, Canada, and Bermuda—are subject to certain minimum aggregate capital requirements, net asset and dividend restrictions, and rules and regulations promulgated by various U.S. and foreign regulatory agencies. Under state and foreign insurance laws, dividend distributions may be made only from statutory unassigned surplus with approvals required from applicable regulatory authorities for dividends in excess of statutory limitations. At December 31, 2025, the maximum dividend that could be paid by the U.S. insurance subsidiaries over the next 12 months without prior statutory approval was $112 million.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We enter into derivative instruments, which may include interest rate swaps, foreign-currency forwards, equity options, and interest rate options, in connection with our risk-management activities. Our primary objective for using derivative financial instruments is to manage interest rate risk associated with our fixed-rate and variable-rate assets and liabilities, foreign exchange risks related to our net investments in foreign subsidiaries, as well as foreign-currency denominated assets and liabilities, and other market risks related to our investment portfolio.
Interest Rate Risk
We monitor our mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate assets and liabilities and may enter into interest rate swaps, forwards, and options to achieve a more desired mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate assets and liabilities. We execute these trades to modify our exposure to interest rate risk by converting certain fixed-rate instruments to a variable-rate and certain variable-rate instruments to a fixed-rate. We use a mix of both derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting treatment and economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
Derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting treatment can include receive-fixed swaps designated as fair value hedges of specific fixed-rate unsecured debt obligations, receive-fixed swaps designated as fair value hedges of specific fixed-rate FHLB advances, pay-fixed swaps designated as fair value hedges of securities within our available-for-sale portfolio, and pay-fixed swaps designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate held-for-investment consumer automotive loan assets. Other derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting consist of interest rate floor contracts designated as cash flow hedges of the expected future cash flows in the form of interest receipts on a portion of our dealer floorplan commercial loans.
We have the ability to execute economic hedges, which could consist of interest rate swaps, forwards, and options to mitigate interest rate risk.
We also entered into interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments that were executed as part of our mortgage business that met the accounting definition of a derivative.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We enter into derivative financial instrument contracts to mitigate the risk associated with variability in cash flows related to our various foreign-currency exposures.
We enter into foreign-currency forwards with external counterparties as net investment hedges of foreign exchange exposure on our investment in foreign subsidiaries. Our equity is impacted by the cumulative translation adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign subsidiary results; this impact is reflected in our accumulated other comprehensive income and loss. We also periodically enter into foreign-currency forwards to economically hedge any foreign-denominated debt, centralized lending, and foreign-denominated third-party loans. These foreign-currency forwards used as economic hedges are recorded at fair value with changes recorded as income or expense offsetting the gains and losses on the associated foreign-currency transactions.
Investment Risk
We enter into equity options to mitigate the risk associated with our exposure to the equity markets.
Credit Risk
We enter into various retail automotive-loan purchase agreements with certain counterparties. As part of those agreements, we may be required to pay the counterparty at agreed upon measurement dates and determinable amounts if actual credit performance of the acquired loans on the measurement date is better than what was estimated at the time of acquisition. Based upon these terms, these contracts meet the accounting definition of a derivative.
We enter into arrangements with certain counterparties through which we issue credit-linked notes covering a specified pool of loans. These notes contain an embedded derivative (referred to as credit-linked note derivatives), which provides us credit protection against the risk of loss when a specified credit event occurs on the reference pool.
Counterparty Credit Risk
Derivative financial instruments contain an element of credit risk if counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the agreements. Credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments is measured as the net replacement cost should the counterparties that owe us under the contract completely fail to perform under the terms of those contracts, with adjustments to reflect the exchange of collateral for margined transactions.
We manage our risk to financial counterparties through internal credit analysis, limits, and monitoring. Additionally, derivatives and repurchase agreements are entered into with approved counterparties using industry standard agreements.
We execute certain OTC derivatives, such as interest rate options, using bilateral agreements with financial counterparties. Bilateral agreements generally require both parties to post collateral in the event the fair values of the derivative financial instruments meet posting thresholds established under the agreements. If either party defaults on the obligation, the secured party may seize the collateral. Payments related to the exchange of collateral for OTC derivatives are recognized as collateral.
We also execute certain derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, with clearinghouses, which require us to post and receive collateral. For these clearinghouse derivatives, these payments are recognized as settlements rather than collateral.
Certain derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to either post additional collateral or immediately settle any outstanding liability balances upon the occurrence of a specified credit-risk-related event. No such specified credit-risk-related events occurred during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, or 2023.
We placed cash and noncash collateral with counterparties totaling $4 million and $328 million, respectively, supporting our derivative positions at December 31, 2025, compared to $414 million of noncash collateral at December 31, 2024. These amounts include noncash collateral placed at clearinghouses and exclude cash and noncash collateral pledged under repurchase agreements. The receivables for cash collateral placed are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet in other assets. We granted our counterparties the right to sell or pledge the noncash collateral.
We received cash collateral from counterparties totaling $11 million at December 31, 2024. These amounts exclude cash and noncash collateral pledged under repurchase agreements. The payables for cash collateral received are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet in accrued expenses and other liabilities.
Balance Sheet Presentation
The following table summarizes the amounts of derivative instruments reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amounts are presented on a gross basis, are segregated by derivatives that are designated and qualifying as hedging instruments or those that are not, and are further segregated by type of contract within those two categories.
Derivative contracts in a receivable and payable position exclude open trade equity on derivatives cleared through central clearing counterparties. Any associated margin exchanged with our central clearing counterparties are treated as settlements of the derivative exposure, rather than collateral. Such payments are recognized as settlements of the derivatives contracts in a receivable and payable position on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Notional amounts are reference amounts from which contractual obligations are derived and are not recorded on the balance sheet. In our view, derivative notional is not an accurate measure of our derivative exposure when viewed in isolation from other factors, such as market rate fluctuations and counterparty credit risk.

(b)These amounts include the amortized cost basis and unallocated basis adjustments of closed portfolios of available-for-sale securities used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the stated amount of assets in the closed portfolios anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedge period. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the amortized cost basis and unallocated basis adjustments of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $13.7 billion and $13.9 billion, respectively, of which $13.4 billion and $13.6 billion, respectively, represents the amortized cost basis and unallocated basis adjustments of closed portfolios designated in an active hedge relationship. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships was a $8 million liability and a $209 million liability, respectively, of which the portion related to discontinued hedging relationships was a $54 million liability and a $103 million liability, respectively. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the notional amounts of the designated hedged items were $11.0 billion and $12.0 billion, respectively, with cumulative basis adjustments of a $46 million asset and a $106 million liability, respectively, which would be allocated across the entire remaining closed pool upon dedesignation of the hedge relationship. Refer to Note 8 for a reconciliation of the amortized cost basis and fair value of available-for-sale securities.
(c)These amounts include the carrying value of closed portfolios of loan receivables used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the stated amount of assets in the closed portfolios anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedge period. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $27.8 billion and $34.5 billion, respectively, of which $21.8 billion and $33.4 billion, respectively, represents the carrying value of closed portfolios designated in an active hedge relationship. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships was a $7 million asset and $51 million liability, respectively, of which the portion related to discontinued hedging relationships was a $1 million asset and a $10 million liability. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the notional amounts of the designated hedged items were $10.8 billion and $20.1 billion, respectively, with cumulative basis adjustments of a $6 million asset and a $41 million liability, respectively, which would be allocated across the entire remaining closed pool upon dedesignation of the hedge relationship.

(e)For the year ended December 31, 2025, state taxes in New York and Florida made up the majority of the tax effect in this category, compared to state taxes in New York, Florida, and Texas, and state taxes in Florida, Maryland and Georgia, for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, consolidated income tax expense from continuing operations was largely driven by pretax earnings and nondeductible FDIC premium expenses, partially offset by an income tax benefit related to various tax credits. For the year ended December 31, 2023, consolidated income tax expense from continuing operations was largely driven by pretax earnings, partially offset by the release of the valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryforwards as well as an income tax benefit related to various tax credits. The release of the valuation allowance was primarily driven by the identification and execution of a tax planning strategy allowing for additional utilization of foreign tax credits.
We record rehabilitation, energy, and clean vehicle tax credits as part of our ITC category. Our ITCs are generally accounted for using the deferral method and recognized as a reduction of the corresponding asset value. However, ITCs that qualify for proportional amortization treatment are accounted for using the flow-through method and are recognized as a reduction to current income tax expense.
The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected in the following table.

(b)Amounts include $2.3 billion and $1.9 billion of net deferred tax assets included in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet for tax jurisdictions in a total net deferred tax asset position at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and $8 million and $10 million included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet for tax jurisdictions in a total net deferred tax liability position at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
As of each reporting date, we consider existing evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact our view with regard to future realization of deferred tax assets. We continue to believe it is more likely than not that the benefit for certain foreign tax credit carryforwards and state net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we continue to provide a partial valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets relating to these carryforwards, and it is reasonably possible that the valuation allowance may change in the next 12 months.

Included in the unrecognized tax benefits balances are some items, the recognition of which would not affect the effective tax rate, such as the tax effect of certain temporary differences and the portion of gross state unrecognized tax benefits that would be offset by the tax benefit of the associated U.S. federal deduction. The balance of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was $152 million, $64 million, and $75 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in interest expense and other operating expenses, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the cumulative accrued balance for interest and penalties was $11 million, and interest and penalties of $4 million were accrued during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, the cumulative accrued balance for interest and penalties was $7 million, and penalties of $1 million were accrued during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Share-based Compensation Plans Share-based Compensation Plans
Awards of equity-based compensation to our named executive officers and other employees are governed by the Company’s ICP, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders and amended and restated effective as of May 4, 2021. These awards primarily take the form of (1) share-settled and cash-settled PSUs that vest in whole on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the achievement of applicable performance goals and continued employment through that time, and (2) share-settled RSUs that vest one-third on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, in each case, subject to continued employment through that time. Other awards — such as those granted under our #OwnIt Annual Grant Program — may take the form of RSUs that vest in whole on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment through that time. For PSUs and RSUs, any dividends declared over the vesting period are accumulated and paid at or after the time of settlement. All awards under the ICP are structured to align with the Company’s performance, prudent but not excessive risk-taking, long-term value creation for our shareholders, and other elements of our compensation philosophy. Awards also typically include provisions that address vesting and settlement in the case of a qualifying termination or retirement. The ICP is administered by the Compensation, Nominating, and Governance Committee of our Board.
At December 31, 2025, we had approximately 27.1 million shares available for future grants of equity-based awards under the ICP. Equity-based awards that settle in Ally common stock are classified as equity awards under U.S. GAAP, and the cost of the awards is ratably charged to compensation and benefits expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income over their applicable service period based on the grant date fair value of Ally common stock. Equity-based awards that settle in cash are subject to liability accounting, with the expense adjusted to fair value based on changes in the share price of Ally common stock up to the settlement date. We had 5.6 million shares of non-vested share-settled and 0.9 million shares of cash-settled PSUs and RSUs outstanding at December 31, 2025. We recognized expense related to PSUs and RSUs of $130 million, $136 million, and $127 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
The following table presents the changes in outstanding non-vested PSUs and RSUs activity for share-settled awards during 2025.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Fair Value
Fair Value Measurements
For purposes of this disclosure, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value is based on the assumptions we believe market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. Additionally, entities are required to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including the entity’s own credit standing, when measuring the fair value of a liability.
U.S. GAAP specifies a three-level hierarchy that is used when measuring and disclosing fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The following is a description of the three hierarchy levels.
Level 1    Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Additionally, the entity must have the ability to access the active market, and the quoted prices cannot be adjusted by the entity.
Level 2    Inputs are other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities; or inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3    Unobservable inputs are supported by little or no market activity. The unobservable inputs represent management’s best assumptions of how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. Generally, Level 3 assets and liabilities are valued using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that require significant judgment or estimation.
Judgment is used in estimating inputs to our internal valuation models used to estimate our Level 3 fair value measurements. Level 3 inputs such as interest rate movements, prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates are inherently difficult to estimate. Changes to these inputs can have a significant effect on fair value measurements and amounts that could be realized.
The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models, and significant assumptions utilized.
Equity securities — We hold various marketable equity securities measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Measurements based on observable market prices are classified as Level 1.
Available-for-sale securities — We carry our available-for-sale securities at fair value based on external pricing sources. We classify our securities as Level 1 when fair value is determined using quoted prices available for the same instruments trading in active markets. We classify our securities as Level 2 when fair value is determined using prices for similar instruments trading in active markets. We perform pricing validation procedures for our available-for-sale securities.
Derivative instruments — We enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of our risk-management strategies. Certain of these derivatives are exchange traded, such as equity options. To determine the fair value of these instruments, we utilize the quoted market prices for those particular derivative contracts; therefore, we classified these contracts as Level 1.
We also execute OTC and centrally cleared derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps, foreign-currency denominated forward contracts, interest rate options, and agency to-be-announced securities. We utilize third-party-developed valuation models that are widely accepted in the market to value these derivative contracts. The specific terms of the contract and market observable inputs (such as interest rate forward curves, interpolated volatility assumptions, or equity pricing) are used in the model. We classified these derivative contracts as Level 2 because all significant inputs into these models were market observable.
We also entered into interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments that were executed as part of our mortgage operations, certain of which met the accounting definition of a derivative and therefore were recorded as derivatives on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Interest rate lock commitments were valued with unobservable inputs, so they are classified as Level 3. Certain forward commitments are Level 2 and others are Level 3 depending on the valuation model inputs.
We purchase automotive finance receivables and loans from third parties as part of forward flow arrangements and, from time-to-time, execute opportunistic ad-hoc bulk purchases. As part of those agreements, we may be required to pay the counterparty at agreed upon measurement dates and determinable amounts if actual credit performance of the acquired loans on the measurement date is better than what was estimated at the time of acquisition. Because these contracts meet the accounting definition of a derivative, we recognize a liability at fair value for these deferred purchase price payments. The fair value of these liabilities is determined using a discounted cash flow method. To estimate cash flows, we utilize various significant assumptions, including market observable inputs (for example, forward interest rates) and internally developed inputs (for example, prepayment speeds, delinquency levels, and expected credit losses). These liabilities are valued using internal loss models with unobservable inputs, and are classified as Level 3.
We are required to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including our own credit standing, when measuring fair value of derivative assets and liabilities. We reduce credit risk on the majority of our derivatives by entering into legally enforceable agreements that enable the posting and receiving of collateral associated with the fair value of our derivative positions on an ongoing basis. In the event that we do not enter into legally enforceable agreements that enable the posting and receiving of collateral, we will consider our credit risk in the valuation of derivative liabilities through a DVA and the credit risk of our counterparties in the valuation of derivative assets through a CVA, if warranted. When measuring these valuation adjustments, we generally use credit default swap spreads.
Recurring Fair Value
The following tables display the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis including financial instruments elected for the fair value option. We often economically hedge the fair value change of our assets or liabilities with derivatives. The tables below display the hedges separately from the hedged items; therefore, they do not directly display the impact of our risk-management activities.

Nonrecurring Fair Value
We may be required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value from time to time. These periodic fair value measures typically result from the application of lower-of-cost or fair value accounting or certain impairment measures. These items would constitute nonrecurring fair value measures.
The following tables display assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and still held at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The amounts are generally as of the end of each period presented, which approximate the fair value measurements that occurred during each period.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
We elected the fair value option for an insignificant amount of conforming mortgage loans held-for-sale and certain non-conforming jumbo mortgage loans held-for-sale to mitigate earnings volatility by better matching the accounting for the assets with the related derivatives. Our intent in electing fair value measurement was to mitigate a divergence between accounting gains or losses and economic exposure for certain assets and liabilities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying and estimated fair value of financial instruments, except for those recorded at fair value on a recurring basis presented in the previous section of this note titled Recurring Fair Value. When possible, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value. Where quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is internally derived based on appropriate valuation methodologies with respect to the amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting current market data to develop the market assumptions and inputs necessary to estimate fair value. As such, the actual amount received to sell an asset or the amount paid to settle a liability could differ from our estimates. Fair value information presented herein was based on information available at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

In addition to the financial instruments presented in the above table, we have various financial instruments for which the carrying value approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature and limited credit risk. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, cash collateral, accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable, trade receivables and payables, on-demand deposit liabilities, and other short-term receivables and payables. Included in cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, quoted price, or penalty on withdrawal. Classified as Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy, cash and cash equivalents generally expose us to limited credit risk and are so near maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.

Offsetting [Abstract]  
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
Our derivative contracts and repurchase/reverse repurchase transactions are generally supported by qualifying master netting and master repurchase agreements. These agreements are legally enforceable bilateral agreements that (i) create a single legal obligation for all individual transactions covered by the agreement to the nondefaulting entity upon an event of default of the counterparty, including bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding, and (ii) provide the nondefaulting entity the right to accelerate, terminate, and close-out on a net basis all transactions under the agreement and to liquidate or set off collateral promptly upon an event of default of the counterparty.
To further mitigate the risk of counterparty default related to derivative instruments, we maintain collateral agreements with certain counterparties. The agreements require both parties to maintain collateral in the event the fair values of the derivative financial instruments meet established thresholds. In the event that either party defaults on the obligation, the secured party may seize the collateral. Generally, our collateral arrangements are bilateral such that we and the counterparty post collateral for the obligation. Contractual terms provide for standard and customary exchange of collateral based on changes in the market value of the outstanding derivatives. A party posts additional collateral when their obligation rises or removes collateral when it falls, such that the net replacement cost of the nondefaulting party is covered in the event of counterparty default.
In certain instances, as it relates to our derivative instruments, we have the option to report derivative assets and liabilities as well as assets and liabilities associated with cash collateral received or delivered that is governed by a master netting agreement on a net basis as long as certain qualifying criteria are met. Similarly, for our repurchase/reverse repurchase transactions, we have the option to report recognized assets and liabilities subject to a master netting agreement on a net basis if certain qualifying criteria are met. At December 31, 2025, these instruments are reported as gross assets and gross liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. For additional information on derivative instruments and hedging activities, refer to Note 21.
The composition of offsetting derivative instruments, financial assets, and financial liabilities was as follows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activity from which revenues are earned and expenses incurred for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by our CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. We define our CODM as the CEO. The CODM uses pretax income to evaluate income generated from segment assets, and to assess a segment’s performance by comparing the results, relative to other segments. Additionally, the budgeting and forecasting process monitors budget versus actual results with emphasis on pretax income, which are also used in assessing the performance of a segment.
We report our results of operations on a business-line basis through three operating segments: Automotive Finance operations, Insurance operations, and Corporate Finance operations, with the remaining activity reported in Corporate and Other. The operating segments are
determined based on the products and services offered, and reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by our CODM and management. The following is a description of each of our reportable operating segments.
Dealer Financial Services
Dealer Financial Services comprises the following two segments.
Automotive Finance operations — One of the largest full-service automotive finance operations in the United States providing automotive financing services to consumers, automotive dealers and retailers, companies, and municipalities. Our automotive finance services include providing retail installment sales contracts, loans and operating leases, offering term loans to dealers, financing dealer floorplans and other lines of credit to dealers, warehouse lines to automotive retailers, fleet financing, providing financing to companies and municipalities for the purchase or lease of vehicles, and vehicle-remarketing services.
Insurance operations — A complementary automotive-focused business offering both consumer finance protection and insurance products sold primarily through the automotive dealer channel, and commercial insurance products sold directly to dealers. As part of our focus on offering dealers a broad range of consumer financial and insurance products, we provide VSCs, VMCs, and GAP products. We also underwrite select commercial insurance coverages, which primarily insure dealers’ vehicle inventory.
Corporate Finance operations
Our Corporate Finance operations provide senior secured asset-based and leveraged cash flow loans to primarily U.S.-based middle-market companies, with a focus on businesses owned by private equity sponsors. These loans are typically used for leveraged buyouts, refinancing and recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions, growth, turnarounds, and debtor-in-possession financings. We also provide, through our Private Credit Finance business, asset managers and other financing sources with partial funding for their direct-lending activities, which is principally leveraged loans. We have a commercial real estate product primarily focused on lending to skilled nursing facilities, senior housing, and medical office buildings. Additionally, we have an energy and infrastructure vertical that finances large-scale energy and infrastructure projects.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other primarily consists of centralized corporate treasury activities, such as management of the cash and corporate investment securities and loan portfolios, short- and long-term debt, retail and brokered deposit liabilities, derivative instruments, original issue discount, and the residual impacts of our corporate FTP and treasury ALM activities. Corporate and Other also includes certain equity investments, which primarily consist of FHLB and FRB stock—as well as other equity investments through Ally Ventures, our strategic investment business, and reclassifications and eliminations between the reportable operating segments. Financial results related to Ally Invest, our digital brokerage and advisory offering, Ally Lending, Ally Credit Card, the management of our consumer mortgage portfolio, and CRA loans and investments are also included within Corporate and Other. Consumer mortgage originations ceased during the second quarter of 2025, which has and will continue to result in a gradual run-off of our consumer mortgage loan portfolio. Additionally, we closed the sales of Ally Credit Card on April 1, 2025, and Ally Lending on March 1, 2024. Refer to Note 2 for additional information on Ally Credit Card.
We utilize an FTP methodology for the majority of our business operations. The FTP methodology assigns charge rates and credit rates to classes of assets and liabilities on a match funded basis, utilizing a benchmark rate curve plus an assumed credit spread. The assumed credit spread is calculated based on a composite investment grade unsecured yield curve or based on advance rates published by the FHLB for any asset that is eligible to be pledged as collateral to the FHLB. While the baseline FTP components at Ally assume 100% debt funding, the methodology also incorporates a credit on the allocated capital for each business line based on the business line’s allocated cost of funding. For business lines not subject to an FTP funding allocation, the FTP methodology applies a capital charge to the amount of excess equity that the business line holds, relative to its regulatory capital and other adjustments. The net residual impact of the FTP methodology is included within the results of Corporate and Other.
The information presented in our reportable operating segments is based in part on internal allocations and methodologies, including a COH methodology, which involves management judgment. COH methodology is used for measuring the profit and loss of our reportable operating segments. We have various enterprise functions, such as technology, marketing, finance, compliance, internal audit, and risk. Operating expenses from the enterprise functions are either directly allocated to the reportable operating segment, indirectly allocated to the reportable operating segment utilizing the COH methodology, or remain in Corporate and Other. COH methodology considers the reportable operating segment expense base and enterprise function expenses. The reportable operating segment expense base is used to determine the allocation mix. This mix is applied to the allocable expenses in Corporate and Other to determine the COH for the respective reportable operating segment. Allocable enterprise function costs are primarily technology, marketing expenses, and marketing sponsorships. Generally, costs that remain within Corporate and Other that are not allocated to our reportable operating segments include operating costs of deposits, treasury activities, and other corporate activities.
Financial information for our reportable operating segments is summarized as follows.

Guarantees and Commitments Guarantees and Commitments
Guarantees
Guarantees are defined as contracts or indemnification agreements that contingently require us to make payments to third-parties based on changes in the underlying agreements with the guaranteed parties. The following summarizes our outstanding guarantees made to third-parties on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

December 31, ($ in millions)
Maximum liabilityCarrying value of liabilityMaximum liabilityCarrying value of liability
Standby letters of credit and other guarantees$302 $ $267 $— 
Our Corporate Finance operations has exposure to standby letters of credit that represent irrevocable guarantees of payment of specified financial obligations. Third-party beneficiaries primarily accept standby letters of credit as insurance in the event of nonperformance by our borrowers. Our borrowers may request letters of credit under their revolving loan facility up to a certain sub-limit amount. We may also require collateral to be posted by our borrowers. We received $30 million of cash collateral related to these letters of credit at December 31, 2025. Expiration dates on letters of credit range from certain ongoing commitments that will expire during the upcoming year to terms of several years for certain letters of credit. If the beneficiary draws under a letter of credit, we will be liable to the beneficiary for payment of the amount drawn under such letter of credit, with our recourse being a charge to the borrower’s loan facility or transfer of ownership to us of the related collateral. As many of these commitments are subject to borrowing base agreements and other restrictive covenants or may expire without being fully drawn, the stated amounts of the letters of credit are not necessarily indicative of future cash requirements.
In connection with our Ally Invest advisory offering, we introduce customer securities accounts to a clearing broker, which clears and maintains custody of all customer assets and account activity. We are responsible for obtaining from each customer funds or securities as are required to be deposited or maintained in their accounts. As a result, we are liable for any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense incurred or sustained by the clearing broker as a result of the failure of any customer to timely make payments or deposits of securities to satisfy their contractual obligations. In addition, customer securities activities are transacted on either a cash or margin basis. In margin transactions, we may extend credit to the customer, through our clearing broker, subject to various regulatory rules and margin lending practices, collateralized by cash and securities in the customer’s account. In connection with these activities, we also execute customer transactions involving the sale of securities not yet purchased. These transactions may expose us to credit risk in the event the customer’s assets are not sufficient to fully cover losses, which the customer may incur. In the event the customer fails to satisfy its obligations, we will purchase or sell financial instruments in the customer’s account in order to fulfill the customer’s obligations. The maximum potential exposure under these arrangements is difficult to estimate; however, the potential for us to incur material losses pursuant to these arrangements is remote.

(d)Our home equity loans were transferred from held-for-investment to held-for-sale during the year ended December 31, 2025. We are committed to fund the remaining unused balances on home equity lines of credit until they are sold.
Revolving credit line commitments contain an element of credit risk. We manage the credit risk for unused revolving credit line commitments by applying the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for extending loans.
The information presented above excludes the unused portion of commitments that are unconditionally cancelable by us. We had $14.5 billion and $16.5 billion of unfunded commitments related to unconditionally cancelable arrangements at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, which primarily consisted of wholesale floorplan financing.
Lease Commitments
For details about our future minimum payments under operating leases with noncancelable lease terms, refer to Note 10.
Contractual Commitments
We have entered into multiple agreements for sponsorship, information technology, voice and communication technology, and related maintenance.

Loss Contingency [Abstract]  
Contingencies and Other Risks Contingencies and Other Risks
Concentration with GM and Stellantis
While we continue to diversify our automotive finance and insurance businesses, GM and Stellantis dealers and their retail customers continue to constitute a significant portion of our customer base. GM, Stellantis, and their captive finance companies compete vigorously with us and could take further actions that negatively impact the amount of business that we do with GM and Stellantis dealers and their customers.
A significant adverse change in GM’s or Stellantis’ business — including, for example, in the production or sale of GM or Stellantis vehicles, the quality or resale value of GM or Stellantis vehicles, GM’s or Stellantis’ relationships with its key suppliers, or the rate or volume of recalls of GM or Stellantis vehicles — could negatively impact our GM and Stellantis dealer and retail customer bases and the value of collateral securing our extensions of credit to them. Any future reductions in GM and Stellantis business that we are not able to offset could adversely affect our business and financial results.
Legal Matters and Other Contingencies
As a financial-services company, we are regularly involved in pending or threatened legal proceedings and other matters and are or may be subject to potential liability in connection with them. These legal matters may be formal or informal and include litigation and arbitration with one or more identified claimants, certified or purported class actions with yet-to-be-identified claimants, and regulatory or other governmental information-gathering requests, examinations, investigations, and enforcement proceedings. Our legal matters exist in varying stages of adjudication, arbitration, negotiation, or investigation and span our business lines and operations. Claims may be based in law or equity — such as those arising under contracts or in tort and those involving banking, consumer-protection, securities, tax, employment, and other laws — and some can present novel legal theories and allege substantial or indeterminate damages.
Ally and its subsidiaries, including Ally Bank, also are or may be subject to potential liability under other contingent exposures, including indemnification, domestic and foreign taxes, self-insurance, and other miscellaneous contingencies.
We accrue for a legal matter or other contingent exposure when a loss becomes probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Accruals are evaluated each quarter and may be adjusted, upward or downward, based on our best judgment after consultation with counsel. No assurance exists that our accruals will not need to be adjusted in the future. When a probable or reasonably possible loss on a legal matter or other contingent exposure could be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, we provide disclosure in this note as prescribed by ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. Refer to Note 1 for additional information related to our policy for establishing accruals.
The course and outcome of legal matters are inherently unpredictable. This is especially so when a matter is still in its early stages, the damages sought are indeterminate or unsupported, significant facts are unclear or disputed, novel questions of law or other meaningful legal uncertainties exist, a request to certify a proceeding as a class action is outstanding or granted, multiple parties are named, or regulatory or other governmental entities are involved. Other contingent exposures and their ultimate resolution are similarly unpredictable for reasons that can vary based on the circumstances.
As a result, we often are unable to determine how or when threatened or pending legal matters and other contingent exposures will be resolved and what losses may be incrementally and ultimately incurred. Actual losses may be higher or lower than any amounts accrued or estimated for those matters and other exposures, possibly to a significant degree.
Subject to the foregoing, based on our current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, we do not believe that the ultimate outcomes of currently threatened or pending legal matters and other contingent exposures are likely to be material to our consolidated financial condition after taking into account existing accruals. In light of the uncertainties inherent in these matters and other exposures, however, one or more of them could be material to our results of operations or cash flows during a particular reporting period, depending on factors such as the amount of the loss or liability and the level of our income for that period.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
Information technology/cybersecurity/data is one of our primary risks, which we define as risks resulting from the failure of, or insufficiency in, information technology (for example, a system outage) or intentional or accidental unauthorized access, sharing, removal, tampering, or disposal of company and customer data or records (for example, a cybersecurity incident), or the lack of data governance, the mismanagement of data, or poor data privacy and protection. We and our service providers rely extensively on digital communications, data management, and other operating systems and infrastructure to conduct our business and operations. Disruptions to these systems or their infrastructure from cyberattacks, or failures in the management of information underlying these systems, may impede our ability to conduct business and operations and may result in business, reputational, financial, regulatory, or other harm. We and other financial institutions continue to be the target of various cyberattacks, including through phishing, the introduction of malware, denial-of-service, or other means. These cyberattacks often are intended to disrupt the operations of financial institutions or obtain confidential, proprietary, or other information or assets of Ally, our customers, employees, or other third parties with whom we transact. Refer to the Risk Factors section for additional information on our information technology/cybersecurity/data risks.
Information technology/cybersecurity/data risk management is part of our broader enterprise risk-management framework described earlier in Risk Management, including the multiple layers of defense described there. We seek to minimize the occurrence and impact of unauthorized access, disruption, alteration, poor privacy or protection, mismanagement or compromise of our systems and information through real-time review and monitoring of applicable risk exposures and the implementation of processes and controls to manage those risks. In addition, we make investments in people, processes, and technology to assist us in our efforts to prevent, monitor, and respond to incidents.
More specifically, information technology/cybersecurity operational metrics and data are monitored on an ongoing basis and assessed against established risk-appetite limits. An inventory of information technology/cybersecurity/data processes, risks, and controls is maintained, which is derived utilizing regulatory and industry guidance, including the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council Information Technology Examination Handbook and the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework. This inventory is used to assist in the identification and assessment of information technology/cybersecurity/data risks. In addition, information protection and risk management teams managed by our CISO are responsible for the administration, governance, and ongoing assessment of information technology/cybersecurity/data risks that pertain to their areas of responsibility.
We have adopted a CSRP, which provides a structured approach for our response to cybersecurity incidents. The CSRP describes internal roles and responsibilities and describes the operational coordination among internal cybersecurity teams, application owners, business partners and other stake holders to detect, track, respond to, and escalate cybersecurity incidents promptly, mitigate the impact of them, and resume normal operations. When cybersecurity events merit escalation beyond the CSRP, they are managed at the enterprise level via Ally’s EIMT. Further escalation to Ally’s ECMT may occur based on severity of the event, as appropriate. The Response Team Operations Plans for both EIMT and ECMT address all hazards and include responsibilities for applicable disclosure.
We regularly assess threats and vulnerabilities to our environment utilizing various resources including independent third-party assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of our layered system of controls. This includes routinely engaging third-party experts to perform comprehensive institutional-wide simulations for senior management, which evaluates our preparedness to respond to crisis-level events, including cybersecurity incidents. Third parties are also engaged to conduct cybersecurity penetration testing to assist us in identifying system vulnerabilities. We actively partner with other industry peers in order to share knowledge and information to further our security environment and invest in training and employee awareness regarding cyber-related risks.
Our business lines are actively engaged in overseeing our third-party service providers. Our Enterprise TPRM Policy establishes requirements and practices used to oversee and manage the activities of third parties with whom Ally has a relationship, under which we identify, measure, monitor, and manage third-party risk (including information technology/cybersecurity risks) in alignment with our strategic objectives and in compliance with applicable law. Any identified threats, vulnerabilities, or cybersecurity incidents are addressed as appropriate through the CSRP or our business-continuity and crisis-management plans, as described earlier.
Cybersecurity and the continued enhancement of our controls, processes, and systems to protect our technology and data infrastructure, customer information, and other proprietary information or assets remain a critical and ongoing priority. We recognize that cyber-related risks continue to evolve, including through the emergence of AI, and have become increasingly sophisticated. As a result we continuously evaluate the adequacy of our preventive and detective measures. As a further protective measure, we maintain insurance coverage that, subject to terms and conditions, may cover certain aspects of cybersecurity and information risks. However, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all losses, and there is no guarantee that such insurance will continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.
We have not identified risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Ally or its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, we face ongoing cybersecurity threats and there can be no assurances we will not be materially impacted in the future. Refer to the Risk Factors section for additional information.

The TC assists the Board in overseeing information-technology, information-security (including cybersecurity), and data risks, and our management of the risks commensurate with our structure, risk profile, complexity, activities, and size. To this end, the TC periodically reviews and approves policies addressing information-technology, information-security, and data risks, and reviews reports and trends on these risks—including those involving cybersecurity, data management and protection, and crisis management—and receives reports from management on its actions to assess, monitor, and control them. The RC reviews reports and other information from the TC in approving our information-technology, information-security, and data risk appetite, and in exercising oversight of our independent risk-management program. Senior management briefs the RC, the TC, or the Board on information-technology, information-security, and data risk matters at least quarterly and identified cybersecurity incidents are reported to the Board as deemed appropriate pursuant to our business-continuity and crisis-management plans. The RC and TC meet in a joint session at least annually.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the parent and its consolidated subsidiaries, of which it is deemed to possess control, after eliminating intercompany balances and transactions, and include all VIEs in which we are the primary beneficiary. Refer to Note 11 for further details on our VIEs. Other entities in which we have invested and have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee, but upon which we do not possess control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting within the financial statements and are therefore not consolidated.
Basis of Presentation Our accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. GAAP and, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods’ financial statements and notes to conform to the current period’s presentation, which did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure, including those of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. It also includes estimates related to the income and expenses during the reporting period and the related disclosures. In developing the estimates and assumptions, we use all available evidence; however, actual results could differ because of uncertainties associated with estimating the amounts, timing, and likelihood of possible outcomes. Our most significant estimates pertain to the allowance for loan losses, the valuations of automotive operating lease assets and residuals, the fair value of financial instruments, and the determination of the provision for income taxes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash on deposit at other financial institutions, cash items in process of collection, and certain highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The book value of cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments and the insignificant risk they present to changes in value with respect to changes in interest rates. We may hold securities with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are held as part of a longer-term investment strategy and classify them as investment securities. We also hold cash and cash equivalents with legal restrictions limiting our ability to withdraw and use the funds. This includes restricted cash held for securitization trusts and restricted cash and cash equivalents, which are presented as other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Investment Securities
Investment Securities
Our investment securities portfolio includes various debt securities. Debt securities are classified based on our intent to sell or hold the security. We classify debt securities as held-to-maturity only when we have both the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. We classify debt securities as trading when the securities are acquired for the purpose of selling or holding them for a short period of time. Debt securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost basis.
We establish an allowance for credit losses for lifetime expected credit losses on our held-to-maturity securities, as necessary. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Our held-to-maturity securities portfolio is mostly composed of U.S. government (issued by U.S. government entities or agencies) and non-agency mortgage-backed residential debt securities. U.S. government securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major ratings agencies, and have a long history of zero credit losses and therefore generally do not require an allowance for credit losses.
We regularly assess our available-for-sale securities for impairment. When the amortized cost basis of an available-for-sale security exceeds its fair value, the security is impaired. If we determine that we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis, any previously recorded allowance for credit losses is written off and the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value at the reporting date, with any incremental impairment recorded through earnings.
Alternatively, if we do not intend to sell, or it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis, we evaluate, among other factors, the magnitude of the decline in fair value, the financial health of and business outlook for the issuer, and the performance of the underlying assets for interests in securitized assets to determine if a credit loss has occurred.
The present value of expected future cash flows is compared to the security’s amortized cost basis to measure the credit loss component of the impairment after determining a credit loss has occurred. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis, we record an allowance for credit losses for that difference. The amount of credit loss is limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Any remaining impairment that is due to factors other than a credit loss, such as changes in market interest rates, is recorded in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for, or reversal of, provision for credit losses.
Premiums and discounts on debt securities are generally amortized over the stated maturity of the security as an adjustment to investment yield. Premiums on debt securities that have non-contingent call features that are callable at fixed prices on preset dates are amortized to the earliest call date as an adjustment to investment yield.
A debt security is generally placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become 90 days past due. The receivable for interest income that is accrued but not collected is reversed against interest income when the debt security is placed on nonaccrual status.
Realized gains and losses on the sale of debt securities are determined using the specific identification method and are reported in other (loss) gain on investments, net in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Equity Securities and Nonmarketable Equity Investments
Equity Securities and Nonmarketable Equity Investments
Equity securities that have a readily determinable fair value are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings and reported in other (loss) gain on investments, net in our Consolidated Statement of Income. These investments are included in equity securities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In some instances, we may account for equity securities using the net asset value practical expedient to estimate fair value. Realized gains and losses on the sale of equity securities with a readily determinable fair value and equity securities measured using the net asset value practical expedient are determined using the specific identification method and are reported in other (loss) gain on investments, net in our Consolidated Statement of Income. Refer to Note 24 for further information on equity securities that are held at fair value.
Our nonmarketable equity investments include investments in FHLB and FRB stock held to meet regulatory requirements and other equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value. Our investments in FHLB and FRB stock are carried at cost, less impairment, if any. Our remaining nonmarketable equity investments are recorded at cost, less impairment and adjusted for observable price changes under the measurement alternative provided under U.S. GAAP. These investments, along with our investments in FHLB and FRB stock, are included in nonmarketable equity investments in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Investments recorded under the measurement alternative are also reviewed at each reporting period to determine if any adjustments are required for observable price changes in identical or similar securities of the same issuer. As conditions warrant, we review these investments, as well as investments in FHLB and FRB stock, for impairment and adjust the carrying value of the investment if it is deemed to be impaired. Adjustments related to observable price changes or impairment on securities using the measurement alternative and FHLB and FRB stock are recorded in earnings and reported in other income, net of losses in our Consolidated Statement of Income. Realized gains and losses on the sale of nonmarketable equity investments are also recorded in earnings and reported in other income, net of losses in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Finance Receivables and Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
Finance Receivables and Loans
We initially classify finance receivables and loans as either loans held-for-sale or loans held-for-investment based on an assessment of our intent and ability to hold the loans for the foreseeable future or until maturity. Our view of the foreseeable future is based on the longest reliable forecasted period, including events known when performing periodic evaluations. Our intent and ability with respect to certain loans may change from time to time depending on a number of factors, for example, economic, liquidity, and capital conditions. In order to reclassify loans to held-for-sale, we must have the intent to sell the loans and must reasonably identify the specific loans to be sold.
Loans classified as held-for-sale are presented as loans held-for-sale, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at the lower of their net carrying value or fair value, unless the fair value option was elected, in which case those loans are carried at fair value. For loans originated as held-for-sale for which we have not elected the fair value option, loan origination fees and costs are included in the initial carrying value. Interest income on our loans classified as held-for-sale is recognized based upon the contractual rate of interest on the loan and the unpaid principal balance. We report accrued interest receivable on our loans classified as held-for-sale in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
For held-for-sale loans for which we have elected the fair value option, loan origination fees and costs are recognized in earnings when earned or incurred. Prior to ceasing the origination of new mortgage loans during 2025, we elected the fair value option for mortgage direct-to-consumer originations for which we had a commitment to sell. The interest rate lock commitment that we entered into for a mortgage loan originated as held-for-sale and certain forward commitments were considered derivatives, which we carried at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We elected the fair value option to measure our nonderivative forward commitments. Changes in the fair value of our interest rate lock commitments, derivative forward commitments, and nonderivative forward commitments related to mortgage loans originated as held-for-sale, as well as changes in the carrying value of loans classified as held-for-sale, were reported through (loss) gain on mortgage and automotive loans, net in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Loans classified as held-for-investment are presented as finance receivables and loans, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance receivables and loans are reported at their amortized cost basis, which includes the principal amount outstanding, net of unamortized deferred fees and costs on originated loans, unamortized premiums and discounts on purchased loans, unamortized basis adjustments arising from the designation of finance receivables and loans as the hedged item in qualifying fair value hedge relationships, and cumulative principal net charge-offs. We refer to the amortized cost basis less the allowance for loan losses as the net carrying value in finance receivables and loans. Unearned rate support received from automotive manufacturers on certain automotive loans, deferred origination fees and costs, and premiums and discounts on purchased loans are amortized over the contractual life of the related finance receivable or loan using the effective interest method. We make various incentive payments for consumer automotive loan originations to automotive dealers and account for these payments as direct loan origination costs. Additionally, we make incentive payments to certain commercial automobile wholesale borrowers and account for these payments as a reduction to interest income in the period they are earned. Interest income on our finance receivables and loans is recognized based on the contractual rate of interest plus the amortization of deferred amounts using the effective interest method, except for origination fees and costs on our credit card loans and revolving lines of credit without scheduled principal payments, which are amortized on a straight line basis. In addition, annual fees on credit cards were amortized into other income, net of losses over a twelve-month period. We report accrued interest receivable on our finance receivables and loans in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, except for billed interest on our credit card loans, which was included in finance receivables and loans, net. Loan commitment fees are generally deferred and amortized over the commitment period. For information on finance receivables and loans, refer to Note 9.
We have elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the measurement of our allowance for loan losses for each class of financing receivables, except for billed interest on our credit card loans, which was included in finance receivables and loans, net as part of the amortized cost basis of the loan. We have also elected to write-off accrued interest receivable by reversing interest income when loans are placed on nonaccrual status for each class of finance receivable. This includes the reversal of the billed interest on credit card loans that occurred at the time of charge-off, which was initially included in the measurement of our allowance for loan losses.
Our portfolio segments are based on the level at which we develop and document our methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, the classes of finance receivables are based on several factors, including the method for monitoring and assessing credit risk, the method of measuring carrying value, and the risk characteristics of the finance receivable. Based on an evaluation of our process for developing the allowance for loan losses, including the nature and extent of exposure to credit risk arising from finance receivables, we have determined our portfolio segments to be consumer automotive, consumer mortgage, consumer other, and commercial.
Consumer automotive — Consists of retail automotive financing for new and used vehicles.
Consumer mortgage — Consists of consumer first-lien mortgages, subordinate-lien mortgages, and home equity mortgages. Consumer mortgage originations ceased during the second quarter of 2025, which has and will continue to result in a gradual run-off of our consumer mortgage portfolio. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2025, we transferred $366 million of mortgage loans to held-for-sale. Following the expected sale of these mortgage loans, our consumer mortgage portfolio will be all first-lien fixed-rate mortgages.
Consumer other — Consists of the following classes of finance receivables.
Personal Lending — Consists of unsecured consumer lending from point-of-sale financing. On March 1, 2024, we closed the sale of our point-of-sale financing business.
Credit Card — Consists of consumer credit card loans. On April 1, 2025, we closed the sale of our credit card operations. Refer to Note 2 for further information.
Commercial — Consists of the following classes of finance receivables.
Commercial and Industrial
Automotive — Consists of financing operations to fund dealer purchases of new and used vehicles through wholesale floorplan financing. Additional commercial offerings include automotive dealer term loans, revolving lines, and dealer and other fleet financing.
Other — Consists primarily of senior secured asset-based and leveraged cash flow loans related to our corporate-finance business.
Commercial Real Estate Consists of term loans primarily secured by dealership land and buildings, and other commercial lending secured by real estate.
Nonaccrual Loans
Generally, we recognize loans of all classes as past due when they are 30 days delinquent on making a contractually required payment, and loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest has been delinquent for at least 90 days, or when full collection is not expected. Interest income recognition is suspended when finance receivables and loans are placed on nonaccrual status. Additionally, amortization of premiums and discounts and deferred fees and costs ceases when finance receivables and loans are placed on nonaccrual. Exceptions include commercial real estate loans that are placed on nonaccrual status when delinquent for 60 days or when full collection is not probable, if sooner. Additionally, a loan can be returned to accrual status when the loan has been brought fully current, the collection of contractual principal and interest is reasonably assured, and six consecutive months of repayment performance is achieved. In certain cases, if a borrower has been current up to the time of a modification and repayment of the debt subsequent to the modification is reasonably assured, we may choose to continue to accrue interest on the loan.
Nonperforming loans on nonaccrual status are reported in Note 9. For all our portfolio segments, the receivable for interest income that is accrued, but not collected, at the date finance receivables and loans are placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income and subsequently recognized only to the extent it is received in cash or until it qualifies for return to accrual status. However, prior to the sale of Ally Credit Card, billed interest for credit card loans was included in the receivables balance and therefore was not reversed against interest income until the loan was charged-off. Where there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectability of loan principal, all cash received is applied to reduce the carrying value of such loans. Generally, finance receivables and loans are restored to accrual status only when contractually current and the collection of future payments is reasonably assured.
Modifications of Loans with Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
We may provide a loan modification to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty if we believe they have the ability and are willing to repay their loan. The type of modification granted will vary depending on our credit risk management practices, as well as the borrower’s financial condition and the characteristics of the loan, including the unpaid balance, the underlying collateral, and the number or types of previous modifications granted.
Modifications that we make subject to the financial difficulty disclosure requirements include payment extensions, principal forgiveness, interest rate concessions, or any combination thereof. These modifications generally reduce the borrower’s periodic payment amount. The following is a description of each of these types of modifications.
Payment extensions — Payment extensions include both payment deferrals and contractual maturity extensions. Deferral arrangements allow borrowers to delay a scheduled loan payment to a later date. Deferred loan payments do not affect the original contractual terms of the loan and the contractual maturity date of the loan remains unchanged. Deferrals also include certain forbearance agreements. Within the commercial loan portfolio, deferrals primarily reflect a deferral of interest payments. Under a contractual maturity extension agreement, the last payment date is extended to a future date, lengthening the remaining term of the original loan.
Principal forgiveness — Under principal forgiveness, the outstanding principal balance of a loan is reduced by a specified amount. Principal forgiveness may occur voluntarily as part of a negotiated agreement with a borrower, or involuntarily through a bankruptcy proceeding. Under these involuntary instances, the bankruptcy court in a Chapter 11 or 13 proceeding may order us to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the loan to a specified amount.
Interest rate concessions — Interest rate concessions adjust the contractual interest rate of the loan to a rate that is not consistent with a market rate for a customer with similar credit risk.
Combination — Combination includes loans that have undergone multiple of the above loan modification types. This primarily includes rewritten loans where we grant an interest rate concession and a contractual maturity extension.
Significant judgment is required to determine if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These considerations vary by portfolio class. In all cases, the cumulative impacts of all modifications made within the 12-month period before the current modification are considered at the time of the most recent modification.
For consumer loans of all classes, various qualitative factors are used for assessing the financial difficulty of the borrower. These factors include, but are not limited to, the borrower’s default status on any of its debts, bankruptcy, and recent changes in financial circumstances (for instance, loss of employment). For commercial loans of all classes, similar qualitative factors are considered when assessing the financial difficulty of the borrower. In addition to the previously noted factors, consideration is also given to the borrower’s forecasted ability to service the debt in accordance with the contractual terms, possible regulatory actions, and other potential business disruptions (for example, the loss of a significant customer or other revenue stream).
In our consumer automotive portfolio class of loans, we also provide extensions or deferrals of payments to borrowers whom we deem to be experiencing only temporary financial difficulty. In these cases, there are limits within our operational policies to minimize the number of times a loan can be extended, as well as limits to the length of each extension, and a cumulative extension cap over the life of the loan. If these limits are breached, the modification may require disclosure as noted in the following paragraph. Before offering an extension or deferral, we evaluate the capacity of the customer to make the scheduled payments after the deferral period. During the deferral period, we continue to accrue interest on the loan as part of the deferral agreement. We grant extensions or deferrals when we expect to collect all amounts due including interest accrued at the original contract rate.
We do not disclose loan modifications that result in only an insignificant payment delay. In order to assess whether a payment delay is insignificant, we consider the amount of the modified payments subject to delay in conjunction with the unpaid principal balance or the collateral value of the loan, whether or not the delay is significant with respect to the frequency of payments under the original contract, or the loan’s original expected duration. In the cases where payment extensions cumulatively extend beyond 90 days and are more than 10% of the original contractual term, or where the cumulative payment extension within the 12-month period immediately preceding the current modification is beyond 180 days, we deem the delay in payment to be more than insignificant.
The financial impacts of modifications that meet the definition of a modification to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are reported in the period in which they are identified. Additionally, if such a loan defaults within 12 months of the modification, we are required to disclose the instances of redefault. A loan is considered to have redefaulted when the loan meets the requirements for evaluation under our charge-off policy, except for commercial loans where redefault is defined as 90 days past due.
Net Charge-offs
We disclose the measurement of net charge-offs as the amount of gross charge-offs recognized less recoveries received. Gross charge-offs reflect the amount of the amortized cost basis directly written-off. Generally, we recognize recoveries when they are received and record them as an increase to the allowance for loan losses.
As a general rule, consumer automotive loans are fully charged off once a loan becomes 120 days past due. In instances where upon becoming 120 days past due repossession is assured and in process, consumer automotive loans are written down to estimated collateral value, less costs to sell. In our consumer mortgage portfolio segment, first-lien mortgages and a subset of our home equity portfolio that are secured by real estate in a first-lien position are written down to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, once a mortgage loan becomes 180 days past due. Consumer mortgage loans that represent second-lien positions were charged off at 180 days past due. In our consumer other segment, prior to being transferred to held-for-sale, loans within our personal lending class of receivables were charged off at 120 days past due and loans in our credit card class of receivables were charged off at 180 days past due. Within 60 days of receipt of notification of filing from the bankruptcy court, or within the time frames noted above, consumer automotive and first-lien consumer mortgage loans in bankruptcy are written down to their expected future cash flows, which is generally fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, and second-lien consumer mortgage loans and other consumer loans are fully charged-off, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that repayment is likely to occur. Regardless of other timelines noted within this policy, loans are considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is expected to only be through sale or operation of the collateral. Collateral-dependent loans are charged-off to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell when foreclosure or repossession proceedings begin.
Commercial loans are individually evaluated and are written down to the estimated fair value of the collateral less costs to sell when collectability of the recorded balance is in doubt. Generally, all commercial loans are charged-off when it becomes unlikely that the borrower is willing or able to repay the remaining balance of the loan and any underlying collateral is not sufficient to recover the outstanding principal.
Collateral-dependent commercial loans are charged-off to the fair value of collateral less costs to sell, when appropriate. Non-collateral dependent loans are fully charged-off.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses (the allowance) is deducted from, or added to, the loan’s amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected from our lending portfolios. We estimate the allowance using relevant available information, which includes both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Additions and reductions to the allowance are charged to current period earnings through the provision for credit losses and amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly against the allowance, net of amounts recovered on previously charged-off accounts. Expected recoveries do not exceed the total of amounts previously charged-off and amounts expected to be charged-off.
Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term only includes expected extensions or renewals, if the extension or renewal option is included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and we are not able to unconditionally cancel the option. Expected loan modifications are only included in the contractual term, if we have a reasonable expectation at period end that the loan modification will be executed with a borrower.
For the purpose of calculating portfolio-level reserves, we have grouped our loans into four portfolio segments: consumer automotive, consumer mortgage, consumer other, and commercial. The allowance is measured on a collective basis using statistical models when loans have similar risk characteristics. These statistical models are designed to correlate certain macroeconomic variables to expected future credit losses. The macroeconomic data used in the models are based on forecasted factors over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. These forecasted variables are derived from both internal and external sources. Beyond this forecasted period, we revert each variable to a historical average on a straight-line basis. The historical average is calculated predominantly using historical data beginning in January 2008 through the most recent period of available data.
During the second quarter of 2024, we updated our reasonable and supportable forecast period from 12 months to 24 months, and our reversion period from 24 months to 12 months. This refinement to our estimation process represented a change in accounting estimate, with prospective application beginning in the period of change. The impact of this refinement to our estimation process was offset by an adjustment in the qualitative portion of our allowance. The use of a longer-duration reasonable and supportable macroeconomic forecast period to produce the modeled portion of our allowance for loan losses is expected to further improve model performance.
Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are not included in the collective evaluation.
The allowance calculation is supplemented with qualitative adjustments that take into consideration current portfolio and asset-level factors, such as the impacts of changes in underwriting standards, collections and account management effectiveness, geographic concentrations, and economic events that have occurred but are not yet reflected in the quantitative model component. Qualitative adjustments are documented, reviewed, and approved through our established risk governance processes and follow regulatory guidance.
We also consider the need for a reserve on unfunded loan commitments across our portfolio segments, including lines of credit and standby letters of credit. We estimate expected credit losses over the contractual period in which we are exposed to credit risk, unless we have the option to unconditionally cancel the obligation. Expected credit losses on the commitments include consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur under the commitment and an estimate of expected credit losses on amounts expected to be funded over the estimated life. The reserve for unfunded loan commitments is recorded within accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Provision for credit losses related to our reserve for unfunded commitments is recorded within provision for credit losses on our Consolidated Statement of Income. Refer to Note 28 for information on our unfunded loan commitments.
Consumer Automotive
The allowance within the consumer automotive portfolio segment is calculated using proprietary statistical models and other risk indicators applied to pools of loans with similar risk characteristics, including credit bureau score and LTV ratios.
The model generates projections of default rates, prepayment rates, loss severity rates, and recovery rates using macroeconomic and historical loan data. These projections are used to develop transition scenarios to predict the portfolio’s migration from the current or past-due status to various future states over the life of the loan. Macroeconomic data used to calculate expected credit losses incorporates light vehicle sales, wholesale used vehicle value index, state-level real personal income, and state-level unemployment rates, with unemployment rates being the most impactful macroeconomic factor in calculating expected lifetime credit losses. The loss severity within the consumer automotive portfolio segment is impacted by the fair values of vehicles that are repossessed. Vehicle values are affected by numerous factors including vehicle supply, the condition of the vehicle upon repossession, the overall price and volatility of fuel, consumer preference related to specific vehicle segments, and other factors. The model output is aggregated to calculate expected lifetime gross credit losses, net of expected recoveries.
Consumer Mortgage
The allowance within the consumer mortgage portfolio segment is calculated using statistical models based on pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. The models incorporate loan and borrower data elements, including LTV ratio, loan age, term, product type, loan balance and credit score.
Expected losses are statistically modeled using behavioral transitions. The models estimate the probability of delinquency, default, and voluntary prepayment over the course of each loan. The transition probability is a function of the data elements and economic variables. When a default event is predicted, a severity model is applied to estimate future loan losses. Loss severity within the consumer mortgage portfolio segment is estimated based on the expected market value of the underlying collateral, considering factors such as property location and macroeconomic data. Macroeconomic data that is used to calculate expected credit losses include interest rates, mortgage rates, home price index, and unemployment rates. The model output is aggregated to calculate expected lifetime credit losses.
Consumer Other
The allowance within our credit card receivables class was calculated by using a statistical model that considers loan-specific and economy-wide factors to project default events, positive closure, EAD, and LGD events across all active loans in the portfolio. Macroeconomic data that is used to calculate expected credit losses include state and national-level unemployment rate, revolving consumer credit, and retail sales. Estimated expected lifetime credit losses are the summation of the simulated losses and recoveries for all credit card loans in the portfolio.
Commercial Loans
The allowance within the commercial loan portfolio segment is calculated using an expected loss framework that uses historical loss experience, concentrations, macroeconomic factors, and performance trends. The determination of the allowance is influenced by numerous assumptions and factors that may materially affect estimates of loss, including changes to the PD, LGD, and EAD. PD factors are determined based on our historical performance data, which considers ongoing reviews of the financial performance of borrowers within our portfolio, including cash flow, debt-service coverage ratio, and an assessment of borrowers’ industry and future prospects. The determination of PD also incorporates historical loss experience and, when necessary, macroeconomic information obtained from external sources. LGD factors consider the type of collateral, relative LTV ratios, and historical loss information. In addition, LGD factors may be influenced by macroeconomic information and situations in which automotive manufacturers repurchase vehicles used as collateral to secure the loans in default situations. EAD factors are derived from outstanding balance levels, including estimated prepayment assumptions based on historical experience.
Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations
Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations
A legal entity is considered a VIE if, by design, has any of the following characteristics: the equity at risk is insufficient for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the ability to directly or indirectly make decisions about the entity’s activities that most significantly impact economic performance through voting or similar rights, do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses, do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity, or do not have voting rights that are proportionate to their interests and substantially all the activities are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.
For all VIEs in which we are involved, we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE on an ongoing basis. In circumstances where we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could be significant, we would conclude that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE and would consolidate the VIE (also referred to as on-balance sheet). In situations where we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we do not consolidate the VIE and only recognize our interests in the VIE (also referred to as off-balance sheet).
We are involved in securitizations that typically involve the use of VIEs. For information regarding our securitization activities, refer to Note 11.
In the case of a consolidated on-balance-sheet VIE used for a securitization, the underlying assets remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheet with the corresponding obligations to third-party beneficial interest holders reflected as debt. We recognize income on the assets and interest expense on the debt issued by the VIE on an accrual basis. We reserve for expected losses on the assets primarily under CECL. Consolidation of the VIE precludes us from recording an accounting sale on the transaction.
In securitizations where we are not determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we must determine whether we achieve a sale for accounting purposes. To achieve a sale for accounting purposes, the financial assets being transferred must be legally isolated, not be constrained by restrictions from further transfer, and be deemed to be beyond our control. We would deem the transaction to be an off-balance-sheet securitization if the preceding three criteria for sale accounting are met. If we were to fail any of these three criteria for sale accounting, the transfer would be accounted for as a secured borrowing, consistent with the preceding paragraph regarding on-balance sheet VIEs.
The gain or loss recognized on off-balance-sheet securitizations takes into consideration any assets received or liabilities assumed, including any retained interests, and servicing assets or liabilities (if applicable), which are initially recorded at fair value at the date of sale. Upon the sale of the financial assets, we recognize a gain or loss on sale for the difference between the assets and liabilities recognized, and the assets derecognized. The financial assets obtained from off-balance-sheet securitizations are primarily reported as cash or if applicable, retained interests. Retained interests are classified as securities or as other assets depending on their form and structure. The estimate of the fair value of the retained interests and servicing requires us to exercise significant judgment about the timing and amount of future cash flows from the interests. For a discussion on fair value estimates, refer to Note 24.
Gains or losses on off-balance-sheet securitizations are reported in (loss) gain on mortgage and automotive loans, net, in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
We retain the right to service our automotive loan securitizations. We may receive servicing fees for off-balance-sheet securitizations based on the securitized asset balances and certain ancillary fees, all of which are reported in other income, net of losses in our Consolidated Statement of Income. Typically, the fee we are paid for servicing represents adequate compensation, and consequently, does not result in the recognition of a servicing asset or liability.
Equity-Method Investments and Proportional Amortization Investments
Equity-Method Investments and Proportional Amortization Investments
Our equity-method investments primarily include equity investments related to the CRA, which do not have a readily determinable fair value. The majority of these investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are included in equity-method investments within other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On January 1, 2024, we adopted ASU 2023-02, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method, which expanded the application of the proportional amortization method to certain tax equity investments. Our proportional amortization investments include tax equity investments related to the CRA, for which the primary return to us is the income tax credits and other income tax benefits we receive. We have elected to apply the proportional amortization method to qualifying tax equity investments within our LIHTC, NMTC, and HTC programs. Under the proportional amortization method, the costs of qualifying tax equity investments are amortized in proportion to the allocation of income tax credits and other income tax benefits in each period to the total income tax benefits expected to be obtained over the life of the investment, and the investment amortization and income tax credits are presented on a net basis as a component of income tax expense. Our proportional amortization investments are included within other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our obligations related to unfunded commitments for our proportional amortization investments are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Income tax credits and other income tax benefits received are recorded in income tax expense of the Consolidated Statement of Income and in net income and as a component of operating activities within deferred income taxes, other assets, and other liabilities of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Repossessed and Foreclosed Assets
Repossessed and Foreclosed Assets
Assets securing our finance receivables and loans are classified as repossessed and foreclosed and included in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at the earlier of when physical possession of the collateral is taken or legal title to the underlying collateral is received, which includes the transfer of title through foreclosure or other similar proceedings. Repossessed and foreclosed assets are initially recognized at the lower of the outstanding balance of the loan at the time of repossession or foreclosure or the fair value of the asset less estimated costs to sell. Losses on the initial revaluation of repossessed and foreclosed assets (and generally, declines in value shortly after repossession or foreclosure) are recognized as a charge-off of the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in value are charged to other operating expenses.
Lease Accounting
Lease Accounting
At contract inception, we determine whether the contract is or contains a lease based on the terms and conditions of the contract. Refer to Investment in Operating Leases below for leases in which we are the lessor. Lease contracts for which we are the lessee are recognized on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as ROU assets and lease liabilities. Lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are initially recorded based on the present value of the future lease payments over the expected lease term. We utilize our incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate we would incur to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term on an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment since the interest rate implicit in the lease contract is typically not readily determinable. The ROU asset also includes initial direct costs paid less lease incentives received from the lessor. Our lease contracts are generally classified as operating and, as a result, we recognize a single lease cost within other operating expenses on the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Our leases primarily consist of property leases and fleet vehicle leases. Our property-lease agreements generally contain a lease component, which includes the right to use the real estate, and non-lease components, which generally include utilities and common area maintenance services. We elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components in our property leases as a single lease component for recognition and measurement of our ROU assets and lease liabilities. Our property leases that include variable-rent payments made during the lease term that are not based on a rate or index, are excluded from the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities, and are recognized as a component of variable lease expense as incurred. We have elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities on property leases with terms of one year or less. Our fleet vehicle leases also include a lease component, which includes the right to use the vehicle, and non-lease components, which include maintenance, fuel, and administrative services. However, we have elected to account for the lease and non-lease components in our fleet vehicle leases separately. Accordingly, the non-lease components are excluded from the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability and are recognized as other operating expenses as incurred.
Investment in Operating Leases
Investment in operating leases, net, represents the vehicles that are underlying our automotive operating lease contracts where we are the lessor and is reported at cost, less accumulated depreciation and net of impairment charges, if any, and origination fees or costs. Depreciation of vehicles is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term to an amount that is generally equal to the estimated residual value plus any OEM residual value guarantee. Manufacturer support payments and tax credits that we receive are treated as a reduction to the cost-basis in the underlying operating lease asset, which has the effect of reducing depreciation expense over the life of the contract. Income from
operating lease assets including lease origination fees, net of lease origination costs, is recognized as operating lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the scheduled lease term. We have elected to exclude sales taxes collected from the lessee from our consideration in the lease contract and from variable lease payments that are not included in contract consideration. We accrue rental income on our operating leases when collection is reasonably assured. We generally discontinue the accrual of revenue on operating leases at the time an account is determined to be uncollectible, which we determine to be the earliest of (i) the time of repossession, (ii) within 60 days of bankruptcy notification, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that repayment is likely to occur, or (iii) greater than 120 days past due.
We have significant investments in the residual values of the assets in our operating lease portfolio. The residual values represent an estimate of the values of the assets at the end of the lease contracts. At contract inception, pricing is determined based on the projected residual value of the leased vehicle. This evaluation is primarily based on a proprietary model, which includes variables such as age, expected mileage, seasonality, segment factors, vehicle type, economic indicators, production cycle, automotive manufacturer incentives, and shifts in used vehicle supply. This internally generated data is compared against third-party, independent data for reasonableness. Realization of the residual values is dependent on our future ability to market the vehicles under the prevailing market conditions and in consideration of any OEM residual value guarantees. Over the life of the lease, we may adjust depreciation rates on lease assets based on changes to estimated residual values of the leased vehicles at lease termination. We generally do not depreciate to amounts greater than the lessee purchase price established at origination. We also evaluate the carrying value of our operating lease assets for impairment when we determine an impairment indicator exists. Impairment indicators consider various triggering events, market considerations, and portfolio characteristics. If an impairment indicator exists and the expected undiscounted future cash flows, including remaining lease payments, estimated residual values, and OEM residual guarantees, is less than the carrying amounts of the asset group then we measure the impairment amount. Impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the operating lease assets exceeds their fair value as estimated by discounted cash flows. No impairment was recognized in 2025, 2024, or 2023.
When a leased vehicle is returned to us, either at the end of the lease term or through repossession, the asset is reclassified from investment in operating leases, net, to other assets and recorded at the lower-of-cost or estimated fair value, less costs to sell, on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Any losses recognized at this time are recorded as depreciation expense. Subsequent decline in value and any gain or loss recognized at the time of sale is recognized as a remarketing gain or loss and presented as a component of depreciation expense.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The net carrying values of long-lived assets (including property and equipment) are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net carrying values may exceed undiscounted future net cash flows. Long-lived assets are considered impaired when the carrying amount is deemed unrecoverable and the carrying amount exceeds fair value. Recoverability is measured by comparing the net carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If these assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured as the amount by which the net carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value using a discounted cash flow method. No material impairment was recognized in 2025, 2024, or 2023.
An impairment test on an asset group to be sold or otherwise disposed of, is performed upon occurrence of a triggering event or when certain criteria are met (for example, the asset is planned to be disposed of within 12 months, appropriate levels of authority have approved the sale, there is an active program to locate a buyer, etc.), which cause the disposal group to be classified as held-for-sale. Long-lived assets held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the net carrying value of the assets held-for-sale exceeds the fair value less cost to sell, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the net carrying amount over the fair value of the assets less cost to sell.
Property and Equipment
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, are reported in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Buildings, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements, IT hardware and software, and assets under construction are among the types of items included in property and equipment. We begin depreciating these assets when they are ready for their intended use, except for assets under construction, which begin depreciating when they are ready to be placed into service. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally ranges from three to thirty years, depending on the asset class. Capitalized software is generally amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life, which generally ranges from three to five years. Capitalized software that is not expected to provide substantive service potential or for which development costs significantly exceed the amount originally expected is considered impaired and written down to fair value. Software expenditures that are considered general, administrative, or of a maintenance nature are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Goodwill and intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, are reported in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Our intangible assets primarily consist of developed technology and acquired customer relationships, and are amortized using a straight-line methodology over their estimated useful lives. We review intangible assets with a definite useful life for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles. We allocate goodwill to applicable reporting units based on the relative fair value of the other net assets allocated to those reporting units at
the time of the acquisition. In the event we restructure our business, we may reallocate goodwill. We test goodwill for impairment annually as of July 31 of each year, or more frequently if events and changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that impairment exists. In certain situations, we may perform a qualitative assessment to test goodwill for impairment. We may also decide to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative assessment. If we perform the qualitative assessment to test goodwill for impairment and conclude that it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is greater than its carrying value, then the quantitative assessment is not required. However, if we perform the qualitative assessment and determine that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, then we must perform the quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment requires us to compare the fair value of each of the reporting units to their respective carrying value. The fair value of the reporting units in our quantitative assessment is determined based on various analyses including discounted cash flow projections using assumptions a market participant would use. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over its fair value.
Unearned Insurance Premiums and Service Revenue
Unearned Insurance Premiums and Service Revenue
Insurance premiums, net of premiums ceded to reinsurers, and service revenue are earned over the terms of the policies. The portion of premiums and service revenue written applicable to the unexpired terms of the policies is recorded as unearned insurance premiums or unearned service revenue. For vehicle service, GAP, and maintenance contracts, premiums and service revenues are earned on a basis proportionate to the anticipated cost emergence.
Deferred Insurance Policy and Service Contract Acquisition Costs
Deferred Insurance Policy and Service Contract Acquisition Costs
Incremental direct costs incurred to originate a policy or service contract are deferred and recorded in premiums receivable and other insurance assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. These costs primarily include commissions paid to dealers to originate these policies or service contracts and vary with the production of business. Deferred policy and service contract acquisition costs are amortized over the terms of the related policies and service contracts on the same basis as premiums and service revenue are earned. We group costs incurred for acquiring like contracts and consider anticipated investment income in determining the recoverability of these costs.
Reserves for Insurance Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
Reserves for Insurance Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
Reserves for insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. They are established for the unpaid cost of insured events that have occurred at a point in time. More specifically, the reserves for insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses represent the accumulation of estimates for both reported losses and those incurred, but not reported, including loss adjustment expenses relating to direct insurance and assumed reinsurance agreements.
We use a combination of methods commonly used in the insurance industry, including the chain ladder development factor, expected loss, BF, and frequency and severity methods to determine the ultimate losses for an individual business line as well as accident year basis depending on the maturity of the accident period and business-line specifics. These methodologies are based on different assumptions and use various inputs to develop alternative estimates of losses. The chain ladder development factor is used for more mature years while the expected loss, BF, and frequency and severity methods are used for less mature years. Both paid and incurred loss and loss adjustment expenses are reviewed where available and a weighted average of estimates or a single method may be considered in selecting the final estimate for an individual accident period. We did not change our methodology for developing reserves for insurance losses for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Estimates for salvage and subrogation recoverable are recognized in accordance with historical patterns and netted against the provision for insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses. Reserves are established for each product-type at the lowest meaningful level of homogeneous data. Since the reserves are based on estimates, the ultimate liability may vary from these estimates. The estimates are regularly reviewed and adjustments, which can potentially be significant, are included in earnings in the period in which they are deemed necessary.
Legal and Regulatory Reserves
Legal and Regulatory Reserves
Liabilities for legal and regulatory matters are accrued and established when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable, with a corresponding amount recorded to other operating expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Income. In cases where we have an accrual for losses, we include an estimate for probable and estimable legal expenses related to the case. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency related to a legal or regulatory matter is not both probable and estimable, we do not establish a liability for the contingency. We continue to monitor legal and regulatory matters for further developments that could affect the requirement to establish a liability or that may impact the amount of a previously established liability. There may be exposure to loss in excess of any amounts recognized. For certain other matters where the risk of loss is determined to be reasonably possible, estimable, and material to the financial statements, disclosure regarding details of the matter and an estimated range of loss is required. The estimated range of possible loss does not represent our maximum loss exposure. We also disclose matters that are deemed probable or reasonably possible, material to the financial statements, but for which an estimated range of loss is not possible to determine. While we believe our reserves are adequate, the outcome of legal and regulatory proceedings is extremely difficult to predict, and we may settle claims or be subject to judgments for amounts that differ from our estimates.
Earnings per Common Share
Earnings per Common Share
We compute basic earnings per common share by dividing net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders after deducting dividends on preferred stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We compute diluted earnings per common share by dividing net income from continuing operations after deducting dividends on preferred stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilution resulting from incremental shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued (assuming it does not have the effect of antidilution), if applicable.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We use derivative instruments primarily for risk management purposes. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes. Certain of our derivative instruments are designated as accounting hedges in qualifying relationships, whereas other derivative instruments have not been designated as accounting hedges. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, all derivative instruments, whether designated as accounting hedges or not, are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. We have elected to report the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis—including the fair value for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral—arising from instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement where we do not have the intent to offset. The right to claim cash collateral is reported in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The obligation to return cash collateral is reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. For additional information on derivative instruments and hedging activities, refer to Note 21.
At the inception of a qualifying hedge accounting relationship, we designate each qualifying relationship as a hedge of the fair value of a specifically identified asset or liability or portfolio of assets (fair value hedge); as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid, or forecasted to be received or paid, related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge); or as a hedge of the foreign-currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedge). We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives for undertaking such hedge transactions. Both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, we formally assess whether the derivatives that are used in hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments qualifying as fair value hedges, along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period earnings. For non-portfolio layer method hedges, the hedge basis (the amount of the change in fair value) is added to (or subtracted from) the carrying amount of the hedged item. For portfolio layer method hedges, the hedge basis does not adjust the carrying value of the hedged item and is instead maintained on a closed portfolio basis. For qualifying cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in the income statement when the hedged cash flows affect earnings. For a qualifying net investment hedge, the gain or loss is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment.
Hedge accounting treatment is no longer applied if a derivative financial instrument is terminated, the hedge designation is removed, or the derivative instrument is assessed to no longer be highly effective. For terminated fair value hedges, the hedge basis remains as part of the basis of the hedged asset or liability and is recognized into income over the remaining life of the asset or liability. For terminated portfolio layer method hedges, the hedge basis associated with the discontinued portion of the hedged item is allocated to the remaining individual assets within the closed portfolio that supported the discontinued hedged layer and is recognized into income over the remaining life of those assets. For terminated cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument remain in accumulated other comprehensive income and are recognized in the income statement when the hedged cash flows affect earnings. However, if it is probable that the forecasted cash flows will not occur within a specified period, any changes in fair value of the derivative financial instrument remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings immediately. Any previously recognized gain or loss for a net investment hedge continues to remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until earnings are impacted by a sale or liquidation of the associated foreign operation. In all instances, after hedge accounting is no longer applied, any subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative instrument will be recorded into earnings.
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments held for risk management purposes that are not designated as accounting hedges under U.S. GAAP (economic hedges) are reported in current period earnings.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect our best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes predominantly in the United States. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not, that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
We use the portfolio approach with respect to reclassification of stranded income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Our ITCs are generally accounted for using the deferral method and recognized as a reduction of the corresponding asset value. However, ITCs that qualify for proportional amortization treatment are accounted for using the flow-through method and are recognized as a reduction to current income tax expense.
We recognize the financial statement effects of uncertain income tax positions when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Also, we recognize accrued interest and penalties related to liabilities for uncertain income tax positions in interest expense and other operating expenses, respectively.
Share-based Compensation
Share-based Compensation
Our compensation and benefits expenses include the cost of share-based awards issued to employees. For equity classified share-based awards, compensation cost is ratably charged to expense based on the grant date fair value of the awards over the applicable service periods. Liability classified share-based awards are measured quarterly at fair value based on our share price. Compensation cost related to liability classified awards is ratably charged to expense based on the fair value at each reporting date. We have made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur.
Foreign Exchange
Foreign Exchange
Foreign-denominated assets and liabilities resulting from foreign-currency transactions are valued using period-end foreign-exchange rates and the results of operations and cash flows are determined using approximate weighted average exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are related to foreign subsidiaries using local currency as their functional currency and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Translation gains or losses are reclassified to earnings upon the substantial sale or liquidation of our investments in foreign operations. We may elect to enter into foreign-currency derivatives to mitigate our exposure to changes in foreign-exchange rates. Refer to the Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities section above for a discussion of our hedging activities of the foreign-currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09)
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The purpose of this guidance is to enhance the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. This ASU requires that an entity disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. For the state and local income tax category of the rate reconciliation, entities must disclose a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority (greater than 50 percent) of the category. For the income taxes paid disclosures, entities are required to disclose, on an annual basis, the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes. We adopted the amendments effective for annual reporting beginning January 1, 2025, using the retrospective approach. The impact of these amendments was not material.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (ASU 2024-03)
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The purpose of this ASU is to provide additional disclosure that will allow investors to better understand an entity’s performance, better assess an entity’s prospects for future cash flows, and more easily compare an entity’s performance over time and in relation to other similar entities. This ASU will require that an entity disclose, on an interim and annual basis, a disaggregation in the notes to the financial statements of certain income statement line items if the line item includes any of the five required expense categories, which are defined as (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation (including amortization of a finance ROU asset and leasehold improvements), (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depletion expense. For the “employee compensation” category, banking entities may continue to present compensation expense on the face of the income statement in accordance with Regulation S-X Rule 210.9-04. The disclosure should include a qualitative description of other expenses included within the income statement line item that are otherwise not disaggregated. This ASU will also require entities to disclose their total selling expenses for each reporting period. Selling expenses are not defined within the ASU, which will require entities to determine and disclose how they define selling expenses on an annual basis. The amendments are effective on January 1, 2027, for annual reporting, and for interim reporting thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The amendments must be applied using either a prospective or retrospective approach. We do not expect the impact of these amendments to be material.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06)
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The purpose of this ASU is to improve the accounting for internal-use software costs by aligning the accounting with modern software development processes. This ASU removes all references to sequential software development project stages from U.S. GAAP, but does not change the types of costs that are eligible to be capitalized. Under the updated guidance, entities will be required to begin capitalizing software project costs when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended (called the “probable-to-complete” threshold). When evaluating whether the probable-to-complete threshold is met, entities must consider whether there is significant development uncertainty associated with the software, including determining whether the software project contains technological innovations or novel, unique, or unproven functions or features. Entities should also consider if there are significant performance requirements (e.g., functions or features) of the software project that have not yet been identified or continue to be substantially revised. The amendments do not define what is considered “significant” and instead will require management judgment. The amendments are effective January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can be applied using a prospective approach, a retrospective approach, or a modified approach that bases the adoption of the amendments on the completion status of the software project as of the adoption date. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments.
Purchased Loans (ASU 2025-08)
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. This ASU expands the gross-up approach applied to PCD financial assets to loans that are purchased and considered seasoned, excluding credit card loans, debt securities, and trade receivables accounted for under the revenue recognition guidance. Under the expanded gross-up approach, the amortized cost basis for a seasoned loan receivable will be the purchase price plus the initial measurement of the allowance for loan losses, on the acquisition date. Any remaining discount embedded in the purchase price will be amortized into interest income over the term of the loan. The purchased seasoned loan designation would be evaluated on a loan-by-loan basis. Loans acquired in a business combination would be considered seasoned. For a loan acquired through an asset transfer or by consolidating a VIE, the acquisition must be at least 90 days after loan origination and the acquirer must not have been involved in originating the loan for the loan to be considered seasoned. The amendments are effective January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted and must be adopted on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The following is a description of our primary revenue sources that are derived from contracts with customers. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, and in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For information regarding our revenue recognition policies outside the scope of the revenue recognition principles of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, refer to Note 1.
Noninsurance contracts — We sell VSCs that offer owners mechanical repair protection and roadside assistance for new and used vehicles beyond the manufacturer’s new vehicle limited warranty. We sell GAP contracts that protect the customer against having
to pay certain amounts to a lender above the fair market value of their vehicle if the vehicle is damaged and declared a total loss or stolen. We also sell VMCs that provide coverage for certain agreed-upon services, such as oil changes and tire rotations, over the coverage period. We receive payment in full at the inception of each of these contracts. Our performance obligation for these contracts is satisfied over the term of the contract and we recognize revenue over the contract term on a basis proportionate to the anticipated incurrence of costs, as we believe this is the most appropriate method to measure progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation. This revenue is recorded within insurance premiums and service revenue earned in our Consolidated Statement of Income, while associated cancellation and transfer fees are recorded as other income.
Sale of off-lease vehicles — When a customer’s vehicle lease matures, the customer generally has the option of purchasing or returning the vehicle. If the vehicle is returned to us, we obtain possession with the intent to sell through SmartAuction—our online auction platform, our dealer channel, or through various other physical auctions. Our performance obligation is satisfied and the remarketing gain or loss is recognized when control of the vehicle has passed to the buyer, which coincides with the sale date. Our actual sales proceeds from remarketing the vehicle may be higher or lower than the estimated residual value, after adjusting for any OEM residual value guarantees, resulting in a gain or loss on remarketing recorded through depreciation expense on operating lease assets in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Remarketing fee income — In addition to using SmartAuction as a remarketing channel for our returned lease vehicles, we maintain the SmartAuction internet auction site and administer the auction process for third-party use. We earn a service fee from dealers for every third-party vehicle sold through SmartAuction. Our performance obligation is to provide the online marketplace for used vehicle transactions to be consummated. This obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized when control of the vehicle has passed to the buyer, which coincides with the sale date. This revenue is recorded as remarketing fees within other income in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Brokerage commissions and other revenues through Ally Invest — We charge fees to customers related to their use of certain services on our Ally Invest digital advisory and online brokerage platform. These fees include commissions on low-priced securities, option contracts, certain other security types, account service fees, account management fees on professional portfolio management services, and other ancillary fees. Commissions on customer-directed trades and account service fees are based on published fee schedules and are generated from a customer option to purchase the services offered under the contract. These options do not represent a material right and are only considered a contract when the customer executes their option to purchase these services. Based on this, the term of the contract does not extend beyond the services provided, and accordingly revenue is recognized upon the completion of our performance obligation, which we view as the successful execution of the trade or service. Revenue on professional portfolio management services is calculated monthly based upon a fixed percentage of the client’s assets under management. Due to the fact that this revenue stream is composed of variable consideration that is based on factors outside of our control, we have deemed this revenue as constrained and we are unable to estimate the initial transaction price at the inception of the contract. We have elected to use the practical expedient under U.S. GAAP to recognize revenue monthly based on the amount we are able to invoice the customer. Additionally, we earn revenue when we route customers’ orders to market makers, who then execute customers’ trades. The market makers compensate us for the right to fill the customers’ orders. We also earn revenue from a fee-sharing agreement with our clearing broker related to the interest fee income the clearing broker earns on customer cash balances, securities lending, and margin loans made to our customers. We concluded the initial transaction price is exclusively variable consideration and, based on the nature of our performance obligation to allow the clearing broker to collect interest fee income from cash deposits and customer loans from our customers, we are unable to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized until the total customer cash balance or the total interest income recognized on margin loans has been determined, which occurs monthly. These revenue streams are recorded as other income in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Brokered/agent commissions through Insurance operations — We have agreements with third parties to offer various vehicle protection products to consumers. We also have agreements with third-party insurers to offer various insurance coverages to dealers. Our performance obligation for these arrangements is satisfied when a customer or dealer has purchased a vehicle protection product or an insurance policy through the third-party provider. In determining the initial transaction price for these agreements, we noted that revenue on brokered/agent commissions is based on the volume of vehicle protection product contracts sold or a percentage of insurance premium written, which is not known to us at the inception of the agreements with these third-party providers. We concluded the initial transaction price is exclusively variable consideration and, based on the nature of the performance obligation, we are unable to determine the amount of revenue we will record until the customer purchases a vehicle protection product or a dealer purchases an insurance policy from the third-party provider. Once we are notified of vehicle protection product sales or insurance policies issued by the third-party providers, we record the commission earned as insurance premiums and service revenues earned in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Banking fees and interchange income — We charge depositors various account service fees including those for outgoing wires, excessive transactions, stop payments, and returned deposits. These fees are generated from a customer option to purchase services offered under the contract. These options do not represent a material right and are only considered a contract in accordance with the revenue recognition principles when the customer exercises their option to purchase these account services. Based on this, the term for our contracts with customers is considered day-to-day, and the contract does not extend beyond the services already provided. Revenue derived from deposit account fees is recorded at the point in time we perform the requested service, and is recorded as other income in our Consolidated Statement of Income. As a debit and credit card issuer, we also generated interchange fee income from merchants during debit and credit card transactions and incurred certain corresponding charges from merchant card networks.
For debit card transactions, our performance obligation is satisfied when we have initiated the payment of funds from a customer’s account to a merchant through our contractual agreements with the merchant card networks. For credit card transactions, our performance obligation was satisfied at the time each transaction was captured for settlement with the interchange networks. Interchange fees are reported net of processing fees and customer rewards as other income in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Other revenue — Other revenue primarily includes service revenue related to various account management functions and fee income derived from third-party lenders arranged through our online automotive lender exchange. These revenue streams are recorded as other income in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Fair Value Measurements
The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models, and significant assumptions utilized.
Equity securities — We hold various marketable equity securities measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Measurements based on observable market prices are classified as Level 1.
Available-for-sale securities — We carry our available-for-sale securities at fair value based on external pricing sources. We classify our securities as Level 1 when fair value is determined using quoted prices available for the same instruments trading in active markets. We classify our securities as Level 2 when fair value is determined using prices for similar instruments trading in active markets. We perform pricing validation procedures for our available-for-sale securities.
Derivative instruments — We enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of our risk-management strategies. Certain of these derivatives are exchange traded, such as equity options. To determine the fair value of these instruments, we utilize the quoted market prices for those particular derivative contracts; therefore, we classified these contracts as Level 1.
We also execute OTC and centrally cleared derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps, foreign-currency denominated forward contracts, interest rate options, and agency to-be-announced securities. We utilize third-party-developed valuation models that are widely accepted in the market to value these derivative contracts. The specific terms of the contract and market observable inputs (such as interest rate forward curves, interpolated volatility assumptions, or equity pricing) are used in the model. We classified these derivative contracts as Level 2 because all significant inputs into these models were market observable.
We also entered into interest rate lock commitments and forward commitments that were executed as part of our mortgage operations, certain of which met the accounting definition of a derivative and therefore were recorded as derivatives on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Interest rate lock commitments were valued with unobservable inputs, so they are classified as Level 3. Certain forward commitments are Level 2 and others are Level 3 depending on the valuation model inputs.
We purchase automotive finance receivables and loans from third parties as part of forward flow arrangements and, from time-to-time, execute opportunistic ad-hoc bulk purchases. As part of those agreements, we may be required to pay the counterparty at agreed upon measurement dates and determinable amounts if actual credit performance of the acquired loans on the measurement date is better than what was estimated at the time of acquisition. Because these contracts meet the accounting definition of a derivative, we recognize a liability at fair value for these deferred purchase price payments. The fair value of these liabilities is determined using a discounted cash flow method. To estimate cash flows, we utilize various significant assumptions, including market observable inputs (for example, forward interest rates) and internally developed inputs (for example, prepayment speeds, delinquency levels, and expected credit losses). These liabilities are valued using internal loss models with unobservable inputs, and are classified as Level 3.
We are required to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including our own credit standing, when measuring fair value of derivative assets and liabilities. We reduce credit risk on the majority of our derivatives by entering into legally enforceable agreements that enable the posting and receiving of collateral associated with the fair value of our derivative positions on an ongoing basis. In the event that we do not enter into legally enforceable agreements that enable the posting and receiving of collateral, we will consider our credit risk in the valuation of derivative liabilities through a DVA and the credit risk of our counterparties in the valuation of derivative assets through a CVA, if warranted. When measuring these valuation adjustments, we generally use credit default swap spreads.

(a)Yield is calculated using the effective yield of each security at the end of the period, weighted based on the fair value by security for the securities within each maturity distribution range. The effective yield considers the contractual coupon and amortized cost basis inclusive of hedge basis adjustments for dedesignated hedges, and excludes expected capital gains and losses. Yield does not consider hedging effects for securities in active hedges.
(b)Fair value includes basis adjustments for securities in closed portfolios with active hedges under the portfolio layer method. This includes a $13 million asset and a $72 million liability for agency mortgage-backed residential securities at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, and a $33 million asset and a $34 million liability for agency mortgage-backed commercial securities at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. These basis adjustments would be allocated to the amortized cost basis of specific securities within the pool if the hedge was dedesignated. Refer to Note 21 for additional information.
(c)Yield is calculated using the effective yield of each security at the end of the period, weighted based on amortized cost basis by security for the securities within each maturity distribution range. The effective yield considers the contractual coupon and amortized cost basis and excludes capital gains, capital losses, and the premium or discount on securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Schedule of Derivative Instruments in Statement of Financial Position
The following table summarizes the amounts of derivative instruments reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amounts are presented on a gross basis, are segregated by derivatives that are designated and qualifying as hedging instruments or those that are not, and are further segregated by type of contract within those two categories.
Derivative contracts in a receivable and payable position exclude open trade equity on derivatives cleared through central clearing counterparties. Any associated margin exchanged with our central clearing counterparties are treated as settlements of the derivative exposure, rather than collateral. Such payments are recognized as settlements of the derivatives contracts in a receivable and payable position on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Notional amounts are reference amounts from which contractual obligations are derived and are not recorded on the balance sheet. In our view, derivative notional is not an accurate measure of our derivative exposure when viewed in isolation from other factors, such as market rate fluctuations and counterparty credit risk.

(a)Represents the fair value hedging adjustment on qualifying hedges for which the hedging relationship was discontinued. This represents a subset of the amounts reported in the total hedging adjustment.
(b)These amounts include the amortized cost basis and unallocated basis adjustments of closed portfolios of available-for-sale securities used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the stated amount of assets in the closed portfolios anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedge period. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the amortized cost basis and unallocated basis adjustments of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $13.7 billion and $13.9 billion, respectively, of which $13.4 billion and $13.6 billion, respectively, represents the amortized cost basis and unallocated basis adjustments of closed portfolios designated in an active hedge relationship. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships was a $8 million liability and a $209 million liability, respectively, of which the portion related to discontinued hedging relationships was a $54 million liability and a $103 million liability, respectively. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the notional amounts of the designated hedged items were $11.0 billion and $12.0 billion, respectively, with cumulative basis adjustments of a $46 million asset and a $106 million liability, respectively, which would be allocated across the entire remaining closed pool upon dedesignation of the hedge relationship. Refer to Note 8 for a reconciliation of the amortized cost basis and fair value of available-for-sale securities.
(c)These amounts include the carrying value of closed portfolios of loan receivables used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the stated amount of assets in the closed portfolios anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedge period. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $27.8 billion and $34.5 billion, respectively, of which $21.8 billion and $33.4 billion, respectively, represents the carrying value of closed portfolios designated in an active hedge relationship. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships was a $7 million asset and $51 million liability, respectively, of which the portion related to discontinued hedging relationships was a $1 million asset and a $10 million liability. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the notional amounts of the designated hedged items were $10.8 billion and $20.1 billion, respectively, with cumulative basis adjustments of a $6 million asset and a $41 million liability, respectively, which would be allocated across the entire remaining closed pool upon dedesignation of the hedge relationship.

Schedule of Fair Value, by Balance Sheet Grouping
The following table presents the carrying and estimated fair value of financial instruments, except for those recorded at fair value on a recurring basis presented in the previous section of this note titled Recurring Fair Value. When possible, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value. Where quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is internally derived based on appropriate valuation methodologies with respect to the amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting current market data to develop the market assumptions and inputs necessary to estimate fair value. As such, the actual amount received to sell an asset or the amount paid to settle a liability could differ from our estimates.
