It is important to note that the Department does not regulate all financial institutions doing business in Georgia.
The Department regulates Georgia state-chartered banks, credit unions, trust companies, and merchant acquirer limited purpose banks (MALPBs). If they conduct business in Georgia, we also regulate mortgage brokers, lenders, processors, mortgage loan originators, check cashers, sellers-issuers of payment instruments, money transmitters, international banking organizations, and bank holding companies.
The Department does not regulate national banks (examples: Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase, Citibank, PNC) or federal credit unions, whether operating in Georgia or elsewhere.
