Financial Institutions Regulation Branch

What we do...

We regulate financial institutions and cooperatives in Manitoba. Financial institutions are credit unions, caisses populaires, insurance companies, and trust and loan companies. We also licence accident and baggage insurance agents, hail insurance agents and hail insurance adjusters. We review and approve the corporate legal documents for credit unions, caisses populaires and cooperatives. We maintain a legal registry for credit unions, caisses populaires, cooperatives and insurance companies. These registries are open to the public. We mediate disputes between consumers, agents, adjusters and insurance companies; as well as member disputes with their credit union, caisse populaire or cooperative. We also authorize trust and loan companies to operate in Manitoba.
