International Services & Coordination - FEDERAL RESERVE BANK of NEW YORK

The New York Fed seminars, training programs, and conferences—and our account relationships with the international central banking community—position the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as a leader in policy, technology, and education for central bankers. On behalf of the Federal Reserve System, we provide correspondent and custodial banking services for central banks, monetary authorities, and certain international organizations to facilitate their official financial operations.

Services for Central Banks

Central banks and monetary institutions around the world hold a sizable portion of their international reserves in U.S. dollars. The New York Fed provides accounts where these official institutions may choose to hold, transact in, and invest in U.S. dollars. The banking services associated with these accounts include payment services, custodial services for securities and gold, and investment services. Learn more.

Seminars & Training

The International Policy and Strategy staff of the New York Fed coordinates the Bank’s international activities, including visits of foreign officials and training for central bankers.

Central Banking Seminar

For 49 years, the Central Banking Seminar has been offered annually in October at the New York Fed. The program is designed to broaden the experience of central bankers who have been identified as potential leaders by their respective institutions. This year's seminar will be offering online and in-person.

Participation in the Central Banking Seminar should be mid-level to senior officers with sufficient education and work experience to be able to take advantage of the material and interactive format, and must be nominated by their institution. Participants should have some background in financial markets and monetary and financial policy to derive maximum benefit from the program. Fluency in English is required.
