    Depository Examiners Overview

    Examine and supervise financial institutions, including banks and credit unions, by analyzing the institution’s operations and documentation for sound practices, controls, and compliance with our statutes and regulations. Being a depository examiner provides individuals with significant training, the opportunity to work with and learn from a team of dedicated examiners, travel throughout Pennsylvania, and communicate with institution management and personnel. 

    Regulate a wide range of business models, including mortgage brokers and lenders, auto finance companies, pawnbrokers, money transmitters, debt services companies, and check cashers. Therefore, examiners must be adaptable to evolving industries, and willing to develop a versatile skill set to be able to serve these sectors effectively.

    Register and regulate investment advisers, broker-dealers, and their representatives/ agents. Examiners need a strong technical understanding of financial markets and the diverse perpetually evolving investment products available today.
