Actually the federal reserve system is not affiliated with any banks. The banks are affiliated to the federal reserve. The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States of America and it supervises/oversees the banking operations of all banks in USA. They are responsible for the proper functioning of all the banks and they are also the lender to the banks (The place where banks go to borrow money if they are short of funds)
Federal Reserve Banks
control state banks
Only banks can own stock in the Federal Reserve banks. However, this stock ownership does not provide the members banks with any control over what the Federal Reserve system does. Any bank that wants to become a member of the Federal Reserve Bank within their Federal Reserve District must invest a certain percentage of their capital in Federal Reserve stock. The Federal Reserve will pay dividends on this stock but banks do not become controlling shareholders as a result of these investments. The individual Federal Reserve banks are controlled (for lack of a better term) by the boards of directors of the Federal Reserve banks and by the board of governors in Washington, D.C.
all nationally chartered banks.
All member banks of the Federal Reserve in USA can and do borrow money from the federal reserve. The Federal Reserve is the banker of banks to whom the banks go when they need money.
