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 Affairs 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 44 years, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has sponsored the annual Central Banking Seminar for central bankers from around the world. This seminar gives participants an overview of the Federal Reserve System, monetary policy, financial supervision, global markets and selected challenges facing policy makers.

The 44th annual Central Banking Seminar will be held on October 12-16 2020.

Spring courses are postponed until further notice.

In addition to the Central Banking Seminar, the Bank also offers specialized courses in Central Bank Compliance, Supervision, Monetary Policy, Management, Risk, Payments and Market Infrastructure, the U.S. Economy and FX Reserve Portfolio Management.
