TRENTON – 樱花视频 Department of Banking and Insurance (DOBI) Commissioner Tom Considine announced today that the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) reaccredited the Department following a comprehensive review. The CSBS reviews state banking departments every five years for regulatory performance.
Reaccreditation is necessary for the Department to conduct its core mission of regulating the financial stability and efficiency of New Jersey’s banking industry in a manner that protects consumers while promoting the growth of those markets.
“I am very proud that the Department has met the highest national standards in financial services regulation,” said Considine. “This is a tribute to the depth and skill level of the Banking Division staff. It gives us the ability to continue our high quality partnership with federal authorities in regulating and examining 樱花视频 chartered financial institutions.”
CSBS reaccreditation recognizes that the Department is performing to a high standard of excellence. The Department licenses and regulates more than 266,000 banking, insurance and real estate licensees, including more than 100 banks and credit unions. Considine hailed the reaccreditation as a necessary step in the regulatory process.
“In this economy, strong regulation is more important than ever,” said Considine. “Reaccreditation means the Department will continue to provide added value that comes with the state charter.”
