The Oklahoma State Banking Department (OSBD) is an agency of the state of Oklahoma. The Banking Department is responsible for regulating Oklahoma's banking system, including state-chartered banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, and trust companies, as well as cemeteries and money order companies. The department also handles consumer complaints involving state-regulated financial institutions.

The Banking Department is led by a State Banking Commissioner who is appointed by the Governor of Oklahoma with the consent of the Oklahoma Senate to serve a four-year term. Assisting the commissioner is the State Banking Board, which consists of six member appointed by the governor and the commissioner as chair.

The current State Banking Commissioner is Mick Thompson, a former Oklahoma State Representative who has severed in that position since September 1, 1992, when he was appointed by Governor David Walters. He has since been reappointed by Governors Frank Keating and Brad Henry in 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008.

The Department was created in 1967 during the term of Governor Dewey F. Bartlett.

State Banking Board

The State Banking Board is the official regulatory body of all financial institutions in the State. The Board is composed of seven members: six appointed members and the State Banking Commissioner. The State Banking Commissioner serves as Chairman of the Board, but may only vote in case of a tie.

Of the six appointed members, five members must be active offices of a financial institution and a sixth member must be a citizen of Oklahoma, at least 35 years old, who has no experience as a bank officer or stockhold of in bank. All members of the Board are appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Oklahoma Senate, to serve a six year term. However, the Governor may only nominate individuals to fill the banking represent seats who have been nominated by the Oklahoma Bankers Association (OBA). Should the OBA fail to nominate a list of candidates within 30 days of a vacancy, the Governor is free to select anyone who meets the qualifications of office. The Governor is always free to nominate anyone to the non-bankers seat.

It is the duty of the State Banking Board to adopt reasonable and uniform rules and regulations to govern the conduct, operation and management of all financial institutions operating in the State. It is the duty of the State Banking Commissioner to enforce the rules adopted by the Board.

Budget

The Banking Department is not funded by yearly appropriations from the Oklahoma Legislature. Instead, it is funded entirely from fees generated from the financial institutions regulated by the Department.

Staffing

The State Banking Department, with an annual budget of over $6 million, is one of the smallest employers for the State. For fiscal year 2010, the Department was authorized 43 full time employees.[1]
