"Storing money for banks" — the Fed provides reserve accounts and payment services to depository institutions (it acts as a bank for banks).

It does not fund government programs (that’s fiscal policy/Treasury) or regulate securities markets (SEC does). The Fed issues Federal Reserve notes but actual printing is done by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
