False, before 1980 it was the case but today the new legislation requires all commercial banks to be members of the federal reserve system. All depository institutions became subject to the same requirements to keep deposits at the Federal Reserve. Members or not members are now on equal footing in ters of reserve requirement.

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.
