Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation

The Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation ("Commissioner") supervises Maryland's state chartered banks and does not have authority over those that are federally chartered or chartered by another state.

Below, you will also find a list of some of the largest institutions operating in Maryland that are regulated by other agencies. If you locate the name of the institution about which you have an inquiry or complaint, please follow the link to the primary regulator for that financial institution for assistance.

The list above is non-exhaustive. If you do not see your institution in the table above please search the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's Bank Find database to determine what type of charter (state, national) your bank has.
