The Federal Reserve System
Source: Chicago Fed
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is one of 12 regional Reserve Banks across the United States that, together with the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., serve as the central bank for the United States.
The Chicago Fed serves the Seventh Federal Reserve District, an economically diverse region that includes all of Iowa and most of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. The Seventh District has a large national share of many important economic sectors. The Chicago Fed has a head office in Chicago, branch office in Detroit, a regional office for regulation staff in Des Moines and a check-processing facility near Chicago's Midway Airport.
Congress created the Federal Reserve System in 1913, charging it with the responsibility to foster a sound banking system and a healthy economy.
To accomplish its mission, the Fed:

- serves as a regulator of financial institutions
- serves as the nation's money manager, performing a vast array of functions that affect the economy, the financial system, and ultimately, each of us
