Value proposition

We’re Unreserved Here.

We are the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco—public servants with a mission to advance the nation’s monetary, financial, and payment systems to build a stronger economy for all Americans.

As part of the U.S. central bank, we serve the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, which covers the nine western states—Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawai’i, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington—plus American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Our three core functions are to support monetary policy, strengthen financial institutions, and enhance the payments systems. By pursuing our goals of maximum employment and price stability—known as the Fed’s dual mandate—we work to help our nation thrive.

As a community-engaged bank, we are committed to understanding and serving the vibrant, expansive communities of the Twelfth District. That means we seek and appreciate new and diverse perspectives. We respect people for what they do and for who they are. We build opportunities to learn and grow.

When you join the SF Fed, you become part of a team united in its purpose to promote an economy that works for everyone.
