Term Deposit Facility

Term deposits will facilitate the implementation of monetary policy by providing a new tool by which the Federal Reserve can manage the aggregate quantity of reserve balances held by depository institutions. Funds placed in term deposits are removed from the accounts of participating institutions for the life of the term deposit and thereby drain reserve balances from the banking system. Reserve Banks will offer term deposits through the Term Deposit Facility (TDF), and all institutions that are eligible to receive earnings on their balances at Reserve Banks may participate in the term deposit program.
