Buying a house is a significant life decision, and the process can feel overwhelming. This week the Idaho Department of Finance is providing resources to help first-time homebuyers in Idaho navigate the journey with confidence.

The Idaho Department of Finance (IDOF) is pleased to announce its Fraud and Senior Financial Exploitation and Prevention Roadshow, to provide education to Idaho’s seniors, and adult family members and caregivers who provide support to seniors and vulnerable adults.

The Idaho Department of Finance (IDOF) is warning consumers against “Pig Butchering” scams that have recently targeted Idahoans. Pig butchering scams are unique because they are long-term schemes that combine elements of investment scams, romance/friendship scams, and cryptocurrency transactions to steal all the money an individual possesses or can access (i.e., persuading individuals to take out loans in addition to sending money from their bank accounts).

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Patricia “Patti” Perkins for her many years of dedicated service to the Idaho Department of Finance. Appointed by Governor Brad Little as Director in January 2020, Patti brought exceptional leadership and vision to the Department.
