DFI is divided into four operating sections, each managed by a section supervisor who is responsible for dealing directly with the industries and companies under his/her jurisdiction.

The sections are:

The Section provides licenses to non-bank financial institutions that provide consumer loans, finance retail purchases, rent safe deposit boxes, exchange foreign currency, issue negotiable instruments, and provide financial planning and management services.  Licensees are examined on an annual basis to insure they are in compliance with all applicable Illinois rules, regulations and statutes.

The Section certifies, registers and regulates title insurance companies and their registered title agents that guarantee or insure titles to real estate in the state of Illinois.  Title insurance companies are examined annually by the Section to ensure compliance with the Title Insurance Act, acceptable management practices and to verify their financial stability and that there is no financial impairment. More >>

The Section is responsible for regulating and supervising all Illinois state-chartered credit unions according to the Illinois Credit Union Act. This Act provides the authority for the Section to conduct biennial examinations of all credit unions. The Section uses the AIRES and CAMEL examination process. More >>
