The Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (OCIF) is a government agency whose functions, by virtue of law, are to oversee and oversee financial institutions that operate or do business in the jurisdiction of Puerto Rico.

The OCIF was created by Act No. 4 of October 11, 1985, as amended, entitled Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions. The OCIF is responsible for ensuring faithful compliance with the laws applicable to the operation of financial institutions so that they operate in a safe and reliable manner, protecting the interests of the island's financial depositors and consumers. Thus, the OCIF works closely with other regulatory agencies, from other states and federal agencies, to maintain the stability and soundness of Puerto Rico's financial system.

In short, the OCIF is a key entity in consumer protection and in the promotion of integrity and transparency in the Puerto Rican financial sector.
