Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a)(1) The minimum capital with which an association shall commence business shall be determined by reference to, in the case of a capital stock association, the sum of the par or stated value of all issued and outstanding shares of voting common capital stock, and, in the case of a mutual association, the total of all subscribed and paid-in deposit accounts. The minimum capital of an association shall be prescribed by the commissioner; provided, that the minimum capital shall not be less than:

(A) One hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) if the home office of the association is to be located in a county having less than ten thousand (10,000) inhabitants;

(B) Two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) if the home office is to be located in a county having between ten thousand (10,000) and one hundred thousand (100,000) inhabitants; and

(C) Five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) if the home office is to be located in a county having one hundred thousand (100,000) inhabitants or more.

(2) The population of each county shall be based upon the latest federal census.

(b) Notwithstanding the above requirements, if the home office of an association is to be located in a county that is contiguous to a county the population of which would require higher minimum capital requirements, and if the commissioner determines that the association will draw a substantial amount of its depositors from the contiguous county, the commissioner shall require that the association meet the higher capital requirements of the contiguous county.
