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.
