Mission and Goals

The primary mission of the South Dakota Division of Banking is to provide South Dakota citizens with sound state-chartered and licensed financial institutions by: providing for and encouraging the development of depository financial institutions while restricting their activities to the extent necessary to safeguard the interest of depositors; and seeking to ensure compliance by both depository and non-depository financial institutions with governing laws and regulations.

The Division is further committed to promote a balanced and sensible approach to regulation that protects the public interest and supports economic growth.
