Blog about doing business internationally.

As of February 2014, 6,799 commercial banks in the United States were covered by the FDIC, according to the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Federal Reserve Bank, which was established in 1913 with the passing of the Federal Reserve Act, serves as the nation’s central bank.

There are four different sorts of banks:

  • Business banks.
  • Bank savings.
  • loans and savings.
  • Unions of credit.
