Minimum capital for incorporation or conversion
Official statutory text
The commissioner of financial institutions shall not issue a certificate of authority for a capital stock savings bank unless he shall affirmatively determine that:
(1) The amount of capital stock subscribed is sufficient for the safe and proper operation of the corporation, but in no event shall it be less than five hundred thousand dollars.
(2) The proposed corporation has set aside sufficient permanent capital reserve for the safe and proper operation of the savings bank, but in no event less than twenty percent of its capital stock, and shall be credited to be paid-in surplus and may be used to offset losses from operations, except as the commissioner may waive this requirement for a financial institution converting to a savings bank. Subject to the approval of the commissioner, all of the financial institutions which meet minimum capital requirements as determined by the commissioner prior to the conversion to a state savings bank shall be deemed to meet the requirements of this Part.
