Official statutory text
The incorporators may call for the payment of subscriptions in full upon receipt of the notice that the articles of incorporation have been approved. The director shall issue a certificate of authority whenever it shall appear to him that the capital stock of such bank has been fully subscribed and paid in in money and such bank is lawfully entitled to commence business. No bank shall transact any business, except such as is incidental or necessarily preliminary to its organization, until such certificate of authority has been regularly issued by the director. Such certificate of authority shall be void if the bank named therein fails to commence business within one year from the date thereof.
