The Florida Office of Financial Regulation (OFR) was created in 2003 from cabinet reorganization legislation passed in 2002. Although relatively new, OFR's beginnings as a banking, finance and securities regulator date back to the mid-1800s, with the creation of the former Comptroller's office. OFR is self-supporting in that all of its operating revenues come from the organizations and individuals it regulates.
OFR has three Divisions and one Bureau. The programs oversee and regulate a wide range of financial enterprises and individuals, such as banks, credit unions, mortgage loan originators, securities industry participants, consumer finance companies, money transmitters, foreign currency exchangers and payday lenders.
