Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI)
The Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI) is a state regulatory body in Arizona responsible for overseeing insurance companies, financial institutions, and mortgage lenders operating within the state. DIFI's role includes ensuring compliance with state laws and regulations, protecting consumers, and maintaining the stability of Arizona's financial and insurance industries.
In the context of mortgage lending, DIFI provides oversight for mortgage lenders and can be a point of contact for consumers experiencing issues with their mortgage transactions, including refinances. While DIFI primarily enforces state-specific regulations, it also provides information on federal consumer protections that apply in Arizona, such as the Right of Rescission.
