The St. Louis Fed is responsible for promoting a safe, sound, competitive and accessible banking system along with stable financial markets. We accomplish this through:
- Safety and Soundness Supervision: supervising and regulating Eighth District banking institutions.
- Consumer Affairs and CRA Supervision: effectively implementing statutes that are designed to inform and protect consumers.
- Credit: providing credit to the banking system, which contributes to maintaining stable financial markets.
- Payment Risk Management: ensuring sound account management practices by Eighth District account holders who use the Fed's payment system.
