ATLANTA, Jan. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBank Atlanta) today approved a fourth quarter 2021 cash dividend at an annualized rate of 3.70 percent.

“We strive to ensure that financial institutions continue to receive value from their membership in the FHLBank Atlanta cooperative and the board of directors is pleased to return this fourth quarter dividend to them,” said FHLBank Atlanta Chair of the Board, Rick Whaley.

The dividend rate is 3.65 percentage points over the daily average Secured Overnight Financing Rate, also known as SOFR, for the fourth quarter of 2021.
