§ 1041 Bank Incorporation Approval Process
This law says a new bank or trust company must get the commissioner’s okay before filing its articles, then after filing it must send a certified copy, prove all its start‑up money is paid and in a bank, and pay a $2,500 fee.
A group wants to start a new community bank. They first send their draft articles to the state banking commissioner for approval. After the commissioner says yes and they file the articles with the Secretary of State, they mail the certified copy of those articles, a statement showing the full amount of capital is in a state bank account, and a $2,500 payment to the commissioner.
The law makes the group do exactly those steps: get approval first, then provide the certified copy, proof of capital, and the fee before the bank can operate.
