Total deposits were $4.61 billion at March 31, 2024, which reflects a $37.5 million increase from total deposits of $4.57 billion at December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $288.9 million from total deposits of $4.90 billion at March 31, 2023. The increase in deposits at March 31, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023, was primarily due to increases in time deposits of $58.7 million and money market and NOW accounts of $29.6 million, partially offset by decreases in noninterest bearing deposits of $35.0 million and savings accounts of $15.8 million. The decrease in deposits at March 31, 2024, compared to March 31, 2023, was primarily due to decreases in noninterest bearing deposits of $150.2 million, savings accounts of $153.1 million, and money market accounts of $102.9 million, partially offset by an increase in time deposits of $155.7 million. Total quarterly average deposits decreased $417.9 million, or 8.4%, in the year over year period, driven by declines in our average demand deposits of $183.3 million, and savings, NOW and money markets combined of $358.4 million, partially offset by an increase in average time deposits of $123.8 million year over year. In general, the bulk of the decline in deposits year over year can be characterized as rate sensitive with significant flows and transfers into investing activities.
The following table presents estimated insured and uninsured deposits at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 by deposit type, as well as the weighted average rates for each year to date ending period.

Deposits increased 0.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which reflects that our efforts on retaining and acquiring new deposits have been effective. Competitive rate pressures have eased, however, there is a continued remix into our time deposits and interest bearing accounts, drawn by higher rates. Overall, our deposit level remains stable as we continue to monitor customer relationships and liquidity closely.
In addition to deposits, we used other liquidity sources for our funding needs in all periods presented, such as repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings with the FHLBC. Securities sold under repurchase agreements totaled $33.5 million at March 31, 2024, a $7.1 million, or 26.7%, increase from $26.5 million at December 31, 2023, and an increase of $5.6 million, or 20.2%, from March 31, 2023. The outstanding balance of our short-term FHLBC borrowings was $220.0 million as of March 31, 2024, $405.0 million as of December 31, 2023, and $315.0 million as of March 31, 2023.
We are also indebted on $25.8 million of junior subordinated debentures, net of deferred issuance costs, as of March 31, 2024, which are related to the trust preferred securities issued by its statutory trust subsidiary, Old Second Capital Trust II (“Trust II”). The Trust II issuance converted from fixed to floating rate at three month LIBOR, which is now three month Term SOFR, plus 150 basis points beginning June 15, 2017. Upon conversion to a floating rate, we initiated a cash flow hedge which resulted in the total interest rate paid on this debt of 4.37% as of March 31, 2024, as compared to 6.77%, which was the rate paid during the period prior to the June 15, 2017 rate reset.
In the second quarter of 2021, we entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements with certain qualified institutional buyers pursuant to which we issued $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due April 15, 2031 (the “Notes”). We sold the Notes to eligible purchasers in a private offering, and the proceeds of this issuance were used for general corporate purposes. The Notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 3.50% through April 14, 2026, payable semi-annually in arrears. As of April 15, 2026 forward, the interest rate on the Notes will generally reset quarterly to a rate equal to three-month Term SOFR (as defined by the Note) plus 273 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. The Notes have a stated maturity of April 15, 2031, and are redeemable, in whole are in part, on April 15, 2026, or any interest payment date thereafter, and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events. As of March 31, 2024, we had $59.4 million of subordinated debentures outstanding, net of deferred issuance costs.
In December 2016, we completed a $45.0 million senior note issuance. The notes had a ten-year term, and included interest payable semiannually at 5.75% for five years. Beginning December 31, 2021, the interest became payable quarterly at three month LIBOR plus 385 basis points. On June 30, 2023, the senior notes were redeemed in full. The remaining balance of deferred debt issuance costs of $362,000 related to these senior notes was recognized as interest expense as of June 30, 2023.
