How We Help Consumers
Consumer protection is the foundation of DFPI’s mission, vision and purpose. In addition to regulation and rule enforcement, DFPI helps Californians by providing the tools and information to help them improve their financial outlook. This includes, but is not limited to:
A dedicated

page, including resources to help people better understand their rights and make well-informed financial decisions, submit a complaint, verify licensed service providers, search enforcement records, and more.
Our
Consumer Connection Newsletter
, which has tips and tricks on building credit and generational wealth, how to manage student loans, and more, as well as our monthly consumer financial education events and other timely updates from DFPI.
Formal
reports and publications
in conjunction with other state agencies.
Market monitoring and research to ensure we are adapting our oversight and outreach to the current needs of all Californians.
