Iowa Code Title XIII. Commerce [Chs. 505-554D] § 524.1106. Fees paid to an affiliate--approval by superintendent

Any contract or arrangement for management or financial services which involves payment for these services by a state bank to a person who owns shares in that bank, or to any other affiliate, must be approved by the superintendent prior to such contract or arrangement becoming binding upon the state bank, and may also be reviewed at any time after original approval.  Any contract or arrangement for consultation or other services which involve payment of those services by a state bank to any person who individually or whose spouse or immediate family or any combination thereof owns fifteen percent or more of the outstanding shares of that bank or is an officer or director thereof, or to an affiliate may be reviewed by the superintendent.  The superintendent shall have authority to determine whether or not such fees are reasonable in relation to the services performed, and if the superintendent determines they are unreasonable, to require that they be reduced to a reasonable amount or eliminated and the excess refunded, or that such contract or arrangement not be entered into by the state bank.
