Federal Reserve Board

Federal Reserve Board
(FRB)
   First established under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the Federal Reserve was a system of 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks that could hold cash reserves for national banks, state banks, and trust companies that entered the system. However, the FRB had limited powers and exercised little monetary control. The Banking Act of 1935 provided more centralized control through the board of governors of the Federal Reserve, particularly with regard to interest rates and credit management and the ability to buy or sell government securities.
