The service was produced as part of the Open Learning Centre project (in 2001-2003) which was coordinated jointly by the International Cultural Centre Caisa and Helsinki City Library. The project was funded by City of Helsinki and the European Social Fund. In 2005, the Info Bank was turned into a nationwide service. The website now contains essential information relating to the whole country as well as local information on Helsinki, Kuopio, Rovaniemi, Turku, Tampere and the Kainuu Region. At the moment, the service is sponsored by the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Education and the participating cities.
