In the case of the Federal Reserve, they are the local Federal Reserve Banks ; for the ECB they are the national central banks.

The Federal Reserve System's structure is composed of the presidentially appointed Board of Governors ( or Federal Reserve Board ), the Federal Open Market Committee ( FOMC ), twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks located in major cities throughout the nation, numerous privately owned U. S. member banks and various advisory councils.

Through its discount and credit operations, Reserve Banks provide liquidity to banks to meet short-term needs stemming from seasonal fluctuations in deposits or unexpected withdrawals.

The U. S. Treasury, through its Bureau of the Mint and Bureau of Engraving and Printing, actually produces the nation's cash supply and, in effect, sells the paper currency to the Federal Reserve Banks at manufacturing cost, and the coins at face value.

The Federal Reserve Banks then distribute it to other financial institutions in various ways.

The twelve Federal Reserve Banks provide banking services to depository institutions and to the federal government.

For the federal government, the Reserve Banks act as fiscal agents, paying Treasury checks ; processing electronic payments ; and issuing, transferring, and redeeming U. S. government securities.

It also encourages competition between the Reserve Banks and private-sector providers of payment services by requiring the Reserve Banks to charge fees for certain payments services listed in the act and to recover the costs of providing these services over the long run.

The Reserve Banks ' retail services include distributing currency and coin, collecting checks, and electronically transferring funds through the automated clearinghouse system.

Because of the large amounts of funds that move through the Reserve Banks every day, the System has policies and procedures to limit the risk to the Reserve Banks from a depository institution's failure to make or settle its payments.

The Federal Reserve Banks began a multi-year restructuring of their check operations in 2003 as part of a long-term strategy to respond to the declining use of checks by consumers and businesses and the greater use of electronics in check processing.

The Reserve Banks will have reduced the number of full-service check processing locations from 45 in 2003 to 4 by early 2011.

The four main components of the Federal Reserve System are ( 1 ) the Board of Governors, ( 2 ) the Federal Open Market Committee, ( 3 ) the twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks, and ( 4 ) the member banks throughout the country.

It is charged with the overseeing of the 12 District Reserve Banks and setting national monetary policy.

The Federal Reserve plays a vital role in both the nation's retail and wholesale payments systems, providing a variety of financial services to depository institutions.

In 1997 the Clinton Administration proposed that “ wholesale financial institutions ” ( known as “ woofies ”) be authorized to be members of the Federal Reserve System but not “ banks ” under the Bank Holding Company Act because they would own non-FDIC insured banks that would only take deposits of $ 100, 000 or more.

Whilst wholesale ' money was bought and sold ' before the Reserve Fund, Bruce Bent introduced a formal discipline and developed ' rules ' for this ' game '.

He attended the Western Reserve College and Preparatory School ( now known as Western Reserve Academy ) and, upon graduation in 1868, he took a job working as a clerk for a wholesale drug company in Cleveland, Ohio.

Some of their most prominent reforms are trust-busting ( the destruction and banning of monopolies ), the creation of laws protecting the American consumer, the creation of a federal income tax ( by the Sixteenth Amendment ; the income tax used a progressive tax structure with especially high taxes on the wealthy ), the establishment of the Federal Reserve, and the institution of shorter working hours, higher wages, better living conditions, better rights and privileges to trade unions, protection of rights of strikers, banning of unfair labor practices, and the delivery of more social services to the working classes and social safety nets to many unemployed workers, thus helping to facilitate the creation of a welfare state in the United States and eventually in most developed countries.

In early 1987 E. Gerald Corrigan, then president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, recommended a legislative “ overhaul ” to permit “ financial holding companies ” that would “ in time ” provide banking, securities, and insurance services ( as authorized by the GLBA 12 years later ).

In November 2003 the Federal Reserve Board and the Treasury Department issued to Congress a report ( Joint Report ) on the activities of the “ financial holding companies ” ( FHCs ) authorized by the GLBA and the effect of mergers or acquisitions by FHCs on market concentration in the financial services industry.

In a speech shortly before the Joint Report was released, Federal Reserve Board Vice Chairman Roger Ferguson stated that the Federal Reserve had “ not been able to uncover any evidence that the overall market structure of the insurance, and securities segments of the financial services industry has substantially changed ” since the GLBA.

At a July 13, 2004, Senate Banking Committee hearing on the effects of the GLBA five years after passage, the Legislative Director of the Consumer Federation cited Roger Ferguson ’ s 2003 speech and stated the “ extravagant promises ” of universal banking had “ proven to be mostly hype .” He noted that advocates of repealing Sections 20 and 32 had said “ anks, securities firms, and insurance companies would merge into financial services supermarkets ” and, after five years, some mergers had occurred “ but mostly within the banking industry, not across sectors .” Within the banking industry, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan testified to Congress in 2004 that commercial bank consolidation had “ slowed sharply in the past five years .”
