The Federal Reserve System was created by an act of Congress in 1913. The FED controls various financial institutions.

All national banks are members of the Fed. The Federal Reserve banks function as the federal government’s banker. They maintain the Treasury Department’s “checking account” and issue and redeem government bonds and other securities.

The Fed along with a number of other agencies is charged with establishing rules of behavior for the banking system. in general, and its individual institutions in particular. The purpose of these rules is to ensure the safety and soundness of the agencies that handle the funds. It’s obvious that the money supply directly affects prices and economic conditions. One of the principle responsibilities of the Fed is to see to it that the amount of money and credit in circulation is exactly what the nation needs.

In addition the Fed supervises nationally chartered and state-chartered banks and state banking agencies.

Financial institutions, like most business, must borrow from time to time. When it happens they can go to the Fed for a loan.

The Fed’s computers enable local banks to transfer funds from one to the other almost immediately.
