Feel free to correct me on this; my financial knowledge is only just a bit higher than that 0% rate noted above.
The reserve requirement was removed because banks were holding too many reserves for the feds liking.
Every US bank still has asset & liability requirements including having at least as many assets as liabilities and stringent rules on what the assets are. Further they have reporting requirements as well.
