Fraud Warning | Warning Notices | Cumulative Warning List

(Please note that the term Warning Notice now replaces the term Warning Circular, effective November 2001)

As part of its contribution to the soundness of the Canadian financial system, OSFI publishes the names of entities that it believes may be of concern to the business community and the public. None of them is regulated by OSFI or licenced under any Canadian federal financial institutions legislation.

Generally, these entities come to OSFI's attention in one of two ways:

• Warnings received from other regulators, both in Canada and abroad; and
• Complaints and enquiries received from the public.

Foreign financial institutions may carry on the business of a financial institution in Canada only if they are licenced to do so under the Bank Act or the Insurance Companies Act. In addition, there are prohibitions and restrictions on the ability of any entity to do business in Canada under a name that could suggest that such a business is a regulated financial activity.

The names of entities, along with information on the origin and any other interested regulator, are published in our Warning Notices. These Notices are mailed to all federally regulated financial institutions in Canada (Canadian and foreign), all registered foreign bank Representative Offices in Canada, domestic and foreign regulators, and other interested parties. If you would like to go on the mailing list for our Warning Notices, please contact the Compliance Division of OSFI at the address below.

Names contained in Warning Notices are also added to the cumulative list of all entities included in previous OSFI Warning Notices.

Notice to Hard Copy recipients of OSFI's Warning Notices.

Fraud Warning:

OSFI has become aware that the names of reputable financial institutions in Canada are sometimes being used for fraudulent purposes. Visit our Beware of Scams page for more information related to fraud warnings.
