Classification

Service
Enforcement - Payments Institution (15%)

This enforcement action concerns a mortgage lender's failure to submit audited financial statements, which is a prudential/supervisory compliance matter unrelated to payment services regulation.

Business Lending (10%)

Ambassador Financial Services is a mortgage lender, not a payment institution, EMI, bank, or investment firm involved in payment services.

Specialism
Enforcement (25%)

While a financial penalty of $2,625 is mentioned, it falls below the 2,500 EUR (~$2,700 USD) threshold for Financial Penalty tagging, and the subject matter involves mortgage lending regulation rather than payment services compliance.

Supervision (15%)

This action concerns a mortgage lender's failure to submit audited financial statements under Florida mortgage lending law, which falls outside the scope of payment services regulation and the PC specialism taxonomy.

TITLE: Florida Office of Financial Regulation Issues Final Order Against Ambassador Financial Services, Inc. BODY: On March 18, 2026, the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (OFR) issued a Final Order concluding its administrative action against Ambassador Financial Services, Inc. and Jude Avril, the company's President and Sole Owner. The order approved and adopted a Stipulation and Consent Agreement resolving violations identified during an examination of the mortgage lender licensee. Ambassador Financial Services, Inc. holds mortgage lender license number MLD2164 under Chapter 494, Florida Statutes. The OFR's examination (No. 132108) identified that the respondents failed to timely submit an audited financial statement for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, as required by Section 494.0063, Florida Statutes. The company and Avril consented to this finding and agreed to resolve the matter without formal proceedings. Under the settlement terms, Ambassador Financial Services, Inc. and Jude Avril must cease and desist from future violations of Chapter 494, Florida Statutes, and comply with all provisions of the statute and its implementing rules. The respondents agreed to pay an administrative fine of $2,625.00, payable by wire, cashier's check, or money order to the OFR. By executing the agreement, the respondents waived their rights to an administrative hearing, appeal, and separate Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. The Final Order constitutes final agency action, and non-compliance may result in issuance of an emergency cease and desist order. The settlement was executed on March 18, 2026, in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, by Gregory C. Oaks, Director of the Division of Consumer Finance.
