Supervising federally regulated financial institutions and
pension plans to contribute to public confidence in the financial system
OSFI is aware that some companies are falsely invoking its name or claiming to be OSFI employees, to legitimize their activities. Please be advised that OSFI does not have authority over day-to-day operations of financial institutions, and does not ask for payments to pay taxes, fines or any other fees to unlock an individual’s funds. If you are instructed by someone claiming to be OSFI or claiming that OSFI requires you to make such a payment, you may be victim of a scam. Anyone impacted by such a scam is urged to report the incident to the authorities through the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC), which is jointly managed by the RCMP, the Competition Bureau and the Ontario Provincial Police.
