Sec. 19. A company may not engage in the banking or trust business, operate a savings bank, commercial bank or trust company, advertise or hold itself out to the public as a bank, savings bank or trust company, or use the word “bank” in connection with its name or business in any of its advertising or literature. A company may not accept deposits or “savings accounts” or advertise or hold itself out to the public as accepting deposits of money or “savings accounts”, unless the company maintains federal deposit insurance, as authorized by section 6(a)(16) of this chapter. A company may not advertise, print, display, publish, distribute, or broadcast or cause or permit to be advertised, printed, displayed, published, distributed, or broadcast, in any manner whatsoever, any statement or representation with regard to the rates, terms, or conditions for the lending of money, credit, goods, or things in action which is false, misleading, or calculated to deceive. If any company refers in any advertising matter to the rate of charge upon loans to be made by it, the department may require such company to state such rate of charge fully and clearly in such manner as it may deem necessary to prevent misunderstanding thereof by prospective borrowers. The department may order any company to desist from any conduct which it shall find to be a violation of this section.
