Administrative History
As part of its responsibility to monitor banking and financial activities, the Banking Division within the State Department of Financial Services (and its predecessor the State Banking Department) conducts examinations of financial institutions operating within the state (Section 36 of the Banking Law). The state began conducting bank examinations in the early nineteenth century. Upon its creation in 1851, the Banking Department assumed all bank regulatory functions, including examinations. In 2011, the State Banking Department and the State Insurance Department were abolished and the functions and authority of both former agencies was transferred to the State Department of Financial Services.
