Washington State Department of Financial Institutions - Washington State Dept. of Financial Institutions

The Washington State Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) provides regulatory oversight for our state’s financial service providers.

DFI was created by combining pre-existing units from two state agencies in October, 1993. Although relatively new, the agency's beginnings date back to the early 1900s, with the organization of the Division of Banking on June 12, 1907, and the Division of Securities in the 1930s. (DFI was created by Ch. 43.320 RCW)

DFI is self-supporting, in that none of its operating revenues come from the state's general tax funds. Its operating revenues are paid by the organizations and individuals it regulates.
