The SF Fed’s Supervision + Credit (S+C) group works with other federal and state authorities to strengthen financial institutions, promote a safe and sound financial system, and ensure fair and equal treatment of consumers. The S+C group is responsible for executing the Federal Reserve’s bank supervisory policies and programs within the western United States under delegated authority from the Board of Governors. This is accomplished through a combination of on-site examinations and off-site supervision activities for the diverse portfolio of financial institutions subject to the supervision of the SF Fed. We also work within the Federal Reserve System supervising and assessing risk at large financial institutions. Finally, the S+C group is responsible for the SF Fed’s discount window operations as well as its payment system risk functions. The SF Fed’s S+C group has approximately 400 officers and staff.
