Edge Corporations

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Edge corporations
Specialized banking institutions, authorized and chartered by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in the U.S., that are allowed to engage in transactions of a foreign or international character. They are not subject to restrictions on interstate banking. Foreign banks operating in the U.S. are permitted to organize and own an edge corporation.

Edge Act Corporation
A bank chartered by the Federal Reserve to conduct international banking transactions without needing to abide by the banking laws of an individual state. Edge Act corporations were established by the Edge Act in 1919 and have since undergone several legal revisions. Because banking is more international today there are fewer distinctions between Edge Act corporations and ordinary banks.
