Superintendencia del Sistema Financiero

Overview

The Superintendencia del Sistema Financiero (SSF) is the regulatory and supervisory agency for financial institutions in El Salvador. Established in August 2011, it was formed by merging several supervisory bodies into one entity governed by a Directive Council. The SSF oversees banks, insurance companies, pension funds, and other financial entities, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The agency authorizes and supervises financial institutions, monitors markets, and enforces regulations to protect consumers and maintain market integrity. It provides public access to financial statistics, online simulators for credit and insurance calculations, and maintains a registry of supervised entities. The SSF also promotes financial literacy through educational programs and initiatives like “Súper Finanzas al CUBO” and participates in Global Money Week. Headquartered in Antiguo Cuscatlán, La Libertad, it serves a wide range of stakeholders, including financial institutions, employers, the general public, and government entities, ensuring the soundness and transparency of El Salvador’s financial system through effective regulation, supervision, and public service.
