The Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) was an independent agency of the United States government chartered during the administration of Herbert Hoover in 1932. It was modeled after the War Finance Corporation of World War I. The agency gave $2 billion in aid to state and local governments and made loans to banks, railroads, farm mortgage associations, and other businesses. The loans were nearly all repaid. It was continued by the New Deal and played a major role in handling the Great Depression in the United States and setting up the relief programs that were taken over by the New Deal in 1933.

Hoover established the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to provide money to businesses and banks after the immediate effects of the Great Depression. This was a major contribution of financial aid from Hoover that was viewed as too little and too late in the eyes of the impatient U.S. citizens.
Hoover created the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to provide low interest loans, and policies created by President Roosevelt included The New Deal.
While President Hoover did veto the Reconstruction Finance Corporation bill, it was passed over his veto. He had already been defeated by Franklin Roosevelt the previous November and was only president for one more month after the veto.
