About
Us: Bank System
Bank
System
Authorized by Congress in 1932,
the Home Loan Bank System is
comprised of 12 regional,
independent Banks and the Office of
Finance, the System's centralized
debt issuance facility. There are
over 8,000 commercial bank, thrift,
insurance company and credit union
members in the 12 Home Loan Banks.
The Federal Home Loan Banks are
regulated by the Federal Housing
Finance Agency (FHFA) which was
created on July 30, 2008 when
President Bush signed into law the
Housing and Economic Recovery Act of
2008. The Act created a world-class,
empowered regulator with all of the
authorities necessary to oversee
vital components of our country’s
secondary mortgage markets – Fannie
Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal
Home Loan Banks.
The FHFA mission is to promote a
stable and liquid mortgage market,
affordable housing and community
investment through safety and
soundness oversight of Fannie Mae,
Freddie Mac and the Federal Home
Loan Banks.
