California Code, Financial Code - FIN § 1083

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) A bank may participate in a financial education program that involves receiving deposits or paying withdrawals on the premises of, or at a facility used by, a school. The school premises or facility will not be considered a branch office of the bank, as that term is defined in Section 1070 of the Financial Code, if all of the following conditions are met:

(1) The bank does not establish and operate the school premises or facility in which the program is conducted.

(2) Bank employees work at the site only to participate in the program.

(3) The program is provided at the discretion of the school.

(4) The principal purpose of the program is financial education. For example, a program is educational if it is designed to teach students the principles of personal financial management, banking operations, or the benefits of saving for the future, and is not designed for the purpose of profitmaking.

(5) No services are provided to the general public.

(6) The program is conducted in a manner that is consistent with safe and sound banking practices and complies with applicable law.

(b) A bank that participates in a financial education program pursuant to this section shall be liable for all deposits made on the premises of, or at a facility used by, a school as if the deposit was made directly at a branch office of the bank.
