IDFPR Announces Sigue Corp. to Cease Operations
Effective March 2024, Sigue Corp. may no longer provide money transmission services in Illinois, as the company can no longer responsibly serve customers due to its declining financial position. Consumers who have been affected or believe they might have been affected should file a complaint with IDFPR’s Division of Financial Institutions here: https://idfpr.illinois.gov/dfi/dficomplaintform.html. Consumers should be sure to select “Money Transmitters” as the Complaint Division.

Scam Alert for Mortgage Banking and other IDFPR Licensees
Attention licensees: we are aware of a phishing email that looks like an email from IDFPR. The email asks you to click a link to “complete your most recent up to date membership license certificate” and states that licensees must do so within 24 hours to avoid a license suspension.
The email comes from an email account not affiliated with IDFPR. If you receive an email like this, do NOT click any links and delete the email. If you have questions about the authenticity of an email from the Division of Banking or Division of Financial Institutions, please email IL.Banks@illinois.gov or FPR.DFI.Director@Illinois.gov.
