Central bank of the United States
The Federal Reserve System serves as the United States’ central bank, guiding monetary policy, supervising banks and bank holding companies, and providing financial services to banks and the U.S. government. It implements policy through tools like setting the federal funds rate and conducting market operations, and it runs bank supervision and payments services via 12 regional banks coordinated by a national Board. Unlike private banks or firms, it operates as a public‑purpose institution with a nationwide mandate and regional insight, not to earn profits but to maintain financial stability. Its goal is to promote a strong economy and a stable financial system for the United States.
