Investigation into proposed state bank

Official statutory text

When an application for a certificate of authority has been filed with the commissioner, he shall conduct an investigation to determine whether the public interest will be served by permitting the organization of the proposed state bank. In making this investigation, the commissioner shall determine whether the character, financial responsibility, and general fitness of the persons named in the application as proposed incorporators, proposed directors, proposed stockholders, and proposed executive officers are such as to command the confidence of the community in which such bank is proposed to be located. The commissioner shall also examine the need for additional banking facilities in the community where the bank is to be located and the ability of the community to support additional facilities. The commissioner may consider such other facts and circumstances bearing on the proposed bank and its relation to the community as he may deem relevant.
