Yes but the banks generally borrow from the Fed at the short end and charge customers at the longer end so they make more profit at higher spreads. Of course they massage and hedge etc with longer term fed notes/bonds but as a general rule, that is how it used to work. Being a bank is the best gig in the world. You can borrow at .2% then loan the money that isn't yours at 3% and it's perfectly legal!
