      History

      In 1897 a Registrar of Loan Corporations was created in the Ontario government to regulate loan and trust companies. This position, which came to be known as the Registrar of Loan and Trust Corporations in 1949, was administratively separate from the Inspector of Insurance, but the two positions were generally filled by the same individual.

      The Registrar reported to the Department of the Attorney General from 1897 until 1966; the Department of Financial and Commercial Affairs from 1966-1972; and the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations from 1972-1976.

      The position of Registrar of Loan and Trust Corporations was abolished in 1976; the functions of the Registrar were continued by the Financial Institutions Division of the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Affairs. By 1985, a new Loan and Trust Corporations Branch was established within the Ministry of Financial Institutions to be responsible for many of the functions previously carried out by the Registrar of Loan and Trust Corporations.
