The Richmond Fed is one of 12 independent regional Reserve Banks that, along with the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., serve as our nation’s central bank. Together, we’re working to help you be more confident in your financial decisions and in our nation’s economic and financial systems. We serve the public and communities in the Federal Reserve’s Fifth District, including the Carolinas, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and our nation’s capital. We’re headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, with offices in Baltimore, Maryland, and Charlotte, North Carolina. The Federal Reserve has an impact on your financial well-being and the broader economy by helping promote stable prices, employment and moderate interest rates. We also help ensure the safety and soundness of the financial system — from working with banks to make sure they’re financially healthy, to providing a secure and efficient way to get your payments get from point A to point B. We provide teachers with tools to educate their students about the economy. And we connect with community and business leaders and organizations to better understand local economic conditions, as well as help understand and address economic issues facing low income communities.

One of 12 regional banks in the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond oversees the Fifth District's system member banks and bank holding companies in Virginia; Maryland; the Carolinas; Washington, DC; and most of West Virginia from branches in Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia. It conducts examinations and investigations of member institutions, distributes money, issues savings bonds and Treasury securities, and assists the Federal Reserve System in setting monetary policy. The bank also processes checks and acts as a clearinghouse for payments between banks. Federal Reserve Banks return earnings (mostly from investments in government bonds) to the US Treasury.
