BankingDistrict of Columbia, United States1001-5000 Employees

The Federal Reserve Board acts as the central bank of the United States, a role established by Congress in 1913 to foster a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. Its mandate covers four broad areas: shaping monetary policy to influence employment, prices, and long-term interest rates; supervising and regulating banking institutions to ensure safety and soundness and protect consumers’ credit rights; maintaining financial system stability and containing systemic risk; and providing financial services to depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign official institutions, including operating the payments system. These responsibilities reflect its position at the intersection of policy-making and financial infrastructure. The Board is based in Washington, DC, and operates within the Banking industry as a major federal institution with a substantial workforce. It is a component of the Federal Reserve System, combining policy leadership with the provision of crucial financial services and supervisory functions. A recent development in June 2026 involved a collaboration with FinCEN and other regulators to craft customer identification program requirements for permitted payment stablecoin issuers.
