Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond

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 to 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.
