• The Discount Rate

  • The discount rate is the interest rate charged to commercial banks and other depository institutions on loans they receive from the Fed's lending facility, the discount window.
  • (Because primary credit is the Federal Reserve's main discount window program, the Federal Reserve, at times, uses the term "discount rate" to mean the primary credit rate. ) The discount rate on secondary credit is above the rate on primary credit.
  • Discount rates are established by each reserve bank's board of directors, subject to the review and determination of the Federal Reserve System's Board of Governors.
