Our Work
This department regulates state-chartered banks and credit unions, licensed financial service providers, charitable organizations, notaries, and the securities industry. We maintain the state’s business and organization filings, and administer the Wisconsin Consumer Act. In addition, the department administers the state’s college savings program, promotes financial literacy, capability and inclusion, and provides academic and career planning. This department is self-supporting through program revenue derived from fees and assessments paid by regulated entities and individuals.
