Illinois Statutes Chapter 205. Financial Regulation § 205/5007. Capital Maintenance

(a) Each savings bank shall maintain total capital of not less than 3% of total assets. This standard is the minimum acceptable for a savings bank whose overall financial condition is fundamentally sound and that is well managed. When the Commissioner determines that the financial condition or history, management, or earnings prospects are not adequate, the Commissioner may determine that a higher minimum capital level is required for the savings bank.

(b) A savings bank shall maintain total capital necessary to ensure the continuation of insurance of its deposit accounts by the insurance corporation.

(c) The board of directors may establish and maintain special reserves, as they may deem advisable, to provide for losses or liabilities. Losses may be charged to those reserves as the board of directors may determine.

(d) Any savings bank with total capital less than 3% of total assets shall be deemed to be operating in an unsafe and unsound condition and shall be subject to the imposition of restrictions, sanctions, or penalties as provided for under this Act.
