Letters of Credit

Our Letters of Credit are the simple way to secure public unit deposits in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

ELECTRONIC. INSTANT. ON-DEMAND.  FHLBank Topeka's letters of credit have always been the easy choice for securing public unit deposits. The FHLBank Topeka Standby Letter of Credit is issued to the municipality or state that is depositing funds with your institution. You set the amount and the maturity date and let our helpful staff do the rest.
