Available Reserve

The difference between a bank's excess reserve (or its reserves over and above its reserve requirements) and the funds borrowed from a discount window at the Federal Reserve. That is, the available reserve is the bank's reserve that it is free to use as it pleases because it does not have to use it to repay any debt.
