The Department of Banking has moved! On Monday, November 24, 2025, the Department of Banking relocated its offices to 280 Trumbull Street in Hartford.

The Informed Investor Radio Spots

The Department of Banking joined forces with AARP-Connecticut in the Campaign for Wise and Safe Investing, a national campaign whose goal is to provide investors and potential investors with research based investor education and protection and to increase awareness of fraudulent investment practices.

As part of this initiative, a series of investor education radio spots were aired on radio stations throughout the state.  These public service announcements provide information on a range of investment protection topics to help consumers make informed investment decisions.

Funding for The Informed Investor was made possible by a grant to AARP from the Investor Protection Trust.
