  • Traditional organic evolution of Fed regional bank operations will not meet the moment.
  • Need to do more to centralize regional reserve bank operations into national lines of business.
  • First model is standardization with centralized system leadership and key support functions under a single senior leader.
  • Second model would involve physical consolidation across key functions that do not need to be local.
  • Either model represents a meaningful step forward.
  • Second model implies regional banks may face lower employment levels in the future.
  • Need greater agility to capture efficiencies and manage risks, including incorporating artificial intelligence into system processes.
Context
