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.
The Division of Banking is administered under the direction of the Department of Labor and Regulation. The Division is under the administrative control and supervision of the Director of Banking, Bret Afdahl. In addition to the Director, the Governor appoints a Banking Commission consisting of five members.
The Director of Banking is the executive officer of the Commission and complies with and enforces orders and directions of the Commission. The Director is responsible to act on applications to organize a bank, change control, merge, change location, and establish or close branch banks. The Commission is required to hear appeals of application decisions or disputes and also acts on Administrative Rules of South Dakota (ARSD) necessary for the management and administration of banks and trust companies over which it has jurisdiction.
