The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland is 1 of 12 Federal Reserve Banks that, along with the Board of Governors in Washington DC, make up the Federal Reserve System. Established by Congress in 1913, the Federal Reserve System is the nation’s central bank.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (Bank) serves the Fourth Federal Reserve District (Fourth District), which comprises Ohio, western Pennsylvania, eastern Kentucky, and the northern panhandle of West Virginia. The Bank’s mission is to foster the stability, integrity, and efficiency of the nation’s monetary, financial, and payments systems to promote optimal economic performance within the Fourth District and across the country. Four of the 50 largest bank holding companies are based in the 4th district.

The Bank’s wide-ranging responsibilities include actively working with the government, financial industry, and community to conduct economic research and gather perspectives from our region to inform national conversations about monetary policy; ensure our banking system is safe, accessible, and secure; help maintain a reliable payments system, including adequate supply of cash and support of digital payments; and ensure that all people in our District have opportunities to build a bright economic future. Our success depends on actively connecting with the people and communities we serve.

Supervision and Regulation, Credit Risk Management, and Statistics and Analysis

The Supervision and Regulation function oversees and regulates certain segments of the financial industry to ensure firms employ safe and sound business practices and comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Employees in this function directly supervise bank holding companies, financial holding companies, state member banks, and certain nonbank subsidiaries. Supervision occurs through periodic examinations and other routine surveillance activities. The Bank has more than 200 employees focused on supervising the financial institutions in its District. To achieve the mission of fostering financial stability, the Credit Risk Management function implements monetary policy by extending credit to financial institutions through the discount window, administering compliance with reserve requirements, and paying interest on balances held by financial institutions. The Credit Risk Management function also monitors financial institutions’ operating conditions and applies appropriate liquidity controls to mitigate risk associated with any credit extended by the Federal Reserve. The Statistics and Analysis function collects and analyzes financial and other data that is used for bank supervisory and monetary policy purposes.
