The Off‌ice of Thrift Supervision (OTS)

regulates Federal- and State-chartered

savings institutions. Created by the

Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery,

and Enforcement Act of 1989, its mission is

to effectively and eff‌iciently supervise thrift

institutions in a manner that encourages a

competitive industry to meet housing and

other credit and f‌inancial services needs

and ensure access to f‌inancial services for

all Americans.

OTS is headed by a Director appointed

by the President, with the advice and

consent of the Senate, for a 5-year term.

The Director is responsible for the overall

direction and policy of the agency.

OTS is responsible for examining and

supervising thrift institutions in the four

OTS regions to ensure the safety and

soundness of the industry; ensuring that

thrifts comply with consumer protection

laws and regulations; conducting a

regional quality assurance program

to ensure consistent applications of

policies and procedures; developing

national policy guidelines to enhance

statutes and regulations and to establish

programs to implement new policy and

law; issuing various f‌inancial reports,

including the quarterly report on the

f‌inancial condition of the thrift industry;

preparing regulations, bulletins, other

policy documents, congressional

testimony, and off‌icial correspondence

on matters relating to the condition of the

thrift industry, interest rate risk, f‌inancial

derivatives, and economic issues; and

prosecuting enforcement actions relating

to thrift institutions.
