      History

      The Deposit Institutions Division, administered by the Superintendent of Deposit Institutions, was established in 1986 within the Ontario Ministry of Financial Institutions. The position of Superintendent of Deposit Institutions itself, however, had been established in 1985 within the Financial Institutions Division of the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations and given responsibility over the Credit Unions and Co-operatives Services Branch and the Loan and Trust Corporations Branch. When the Financial Institutions Division was elevated to Ministry status, becoming the Ministry of Financial Institutions, the Office of the Superintendent of Deposit Institutions and the branches under its control, were renamed the Deposit Institutions Division.

      The Division consisted of the Credit Unions and Co-operatives Services Branch, the Loan and Trust Corporations Branch, the Investigations Branch and the Mortgage Brokers Section; the latter two being established in 1994.

      The Deposit Institutions Division formed a part of the Ministry of Financial Institutions from 1986 until 1993, when it was moved to the Ontario Ministry of Finance.

      In 1998, the Deposit Institutions Division ceased to exist, and its functions were assumed by the new Financial Services Commission of Ontario.
