Contacting the regulator: The regulation of Mortgage Brokers is overseen by the BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA). To learn more about BCFSA, visit bcfsa.ca, call 604-660-3555 or email mortgagebrokers@bcfsa.ca.
Please note that the Mortgage Brokers Institute of British Columbia (MBIBC) is not the industry regulator. MBIBC simply offers educational courses to Mortgage Brokers, many of which can be used to satisfy the regulator’s ongoing education requirements.
