Department of Banking
Mission Statement

The Connecticut Department of Banking  is the primary state regulator for state-chartered banks and credit unions, securities, and consumer credit.  Its mission is to protect users of financial services from unlawful or improper practices by ensuring regulated entities and individuals adhere to state banking, consumer credit and securities laws. The Department accomplishes this through regular, thorough, and cost-effective examinations of the entities it supervises.  The Department also engages the public and other stakeholders through a variety of media platforms, educational outreach initiatives, and press communications.
