Missouri Revised Statutes Title XXIV. Business and Financial Institutions § 362.040. Notice of refusal of certificate--appeal

In case the director shall not be satisfied, as the result of the examination, that the character, responsibility and general fitness of the persons named in the articles of agreement are up to the standard above provided, or that the convenience and needs of the community to be served justify and warrant the opening of the new bank or trust company therein, or that the probable volume of business in such locality is sufficient to insure and maintain the solvency of the new bank and the solvency of the then existing banks or trust companies in the locality, without endangering the safety of any bank or trust company in the locality as a place of deposit of public and private moneys; and on these accounts or any one of them shall refuse to grant the certificate of incorporation, the director shall forthwith give notice thereof to the proposed incorporators from whom the articles of agreement were received, who, if they so desire, may within ten days thereafter appeal from the refusal to the state banking and savings and loan board.
