The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA; French: Autorité ontarienne de réglementation des services financiers) is a self-funding Crown agency which acts as the financial regulator for the Canadian province of Ontario. Established in 2016, FSRA officially succeeded its predecessor agencies – the Financial Services Commission of Ontario and the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Ontario – on June 8, 2019.[1] The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario operates at arms-length from the Government of Ontario, and reports to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario through the Minister of Finance.

Regulated sectors

[edit]

FSRA regulates the insurance, credit union, caisse populaire, mortgage brokerage, loan, trust, and pension administration sectors in Ontario.[2][3] Additionally it provides deposit insurance for members of provincially-incorporated credit unions and caisses populaires.[4]
