*current rate
The Federal Reserve Bank expresses no opinion on the applicability of the basic discount rate or surcharge to any transaction governed by a Federal or state usury or usury preemption statute.
1. On January 9, 2003, Regulation A (Extensions of Credit by Reserve Banks) was amended to restructure Federal Reserve credit programs that resulted in a new method of establishing the discount rate. The rate change on January 9, 2003, did not reflect a change in the stance of monetary policy. See more information about the Discount Window.
2. The Federal Reserve Board established a Century Date Change Special Liquidity Facility (SLF), a program for lending to depository institutions from October 1, 1999 through April 7, 2000. The interest rate charged on loans from the SLF is 150 basis points higher than the Federal Open Market Committee’s intended federal funds rate.
