5 Del. C. § 745

The capital stock of a bank organized under this chapter shall be as follows: not less than $500,000 if the bank is located in a city or town having a population of more than 50,000 persons; not less than $350,000 if the bank is located in a city or town of not more than 50,000 nor less than 5,000 persons; and not less than $250,000 if the bank is located in a town of not more than 5,000 persons, or such greater amount as the Commissioner may require after review of the charter, business plan and proposed activities of the bank. The capital stock of a trust company or limited purpose trust company organized under the law of this State shall not in any case be less than $500,000; provided, however, that this requirement shall not apply to trust companies organized under the laws of this State prior to February 28, 1933, and authorized by a certificate issued by the State Bank Commissioner to transact the business of a trust company on January 1, 1997. In addition to the capital stock required by the foregoing, every such bank, trust company or limited purpose trust company shall have a paid-in surplus account equal to no less than one-half of the minimum capital stock required by this section. The minimum capital stock and paid-in surplus required to be maintained by such corporation in its banking or trust company business pursuant to this section may not be utilized to satisfy the capital or reserve requirements to which the corporation may be subject with respect to any activity authorized by § 761(a)(14) of this title.
