Current as of March 28, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a)(1) With the prior approval of the Bank Commissioner, and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by him or her, a state bank may engage in any activities which are a part of the business of banking or incidental thereto by means of an operating subsidiary and other activities permissible for state banks or their subsidiaries under statutory authority or as authorized by rules of the State Banking Board.

(2) For purposes of this section, an operating subsidiary in which a state bank may invest includes a corporation, limited liability company, or similar entity if the parent bank owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting, or similar type of controlling, interest of the subsidiary; or the parent bank otherwise controls the subsidiary and no other party controls more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting, or similar type of controlling interest, of the subsidiary.

(3) Subsidiaries which are not subject to this section are:

(A) A subsidiary in which the state bank's investment is made and limited pursuant to specific authorization in a statute or by rule; and

(B) A subsidiary, in which the state bank has acquired, in good faith, shares through foreclosure on collateral, by way of compromise of a doubtful claim, or to avoid loss in connection with a debt previously contracted.

(b) The total of each state bank's loans and investments in any single operating subsidiary and the total of each state bank's loans and investments in all subsidiaries, and bank service companies, will be considered by the commissioner and may be limited according to the commissioner's discretion, for safety and soundness purposes.
