With the overarching vision of a vibrant economy that works for all, the Boston Fed promotes sound growth and financial stability in our region and the nation and helps to formulate and implement monetary policy.

The Bank holds several key System roles, including leading the Financial Support Office, which directs financial management for the System, including managing the budget and related technology programs. The Bank develops and leads innovative payments programs. One example is the recently launched FedNowSM Service (“FedNow”), a real-time gross payments settlement system. The Bank also played a central leadership role in the Federal Reserve’s crisis responses during both the Great Financial Crisis (2008) and the global pandemic (2020). The Bank is a thought leader and innovator in numerous areas, including financial stability, monetary policy, and community development.
