§ 1045 Bank Organization Deadline Extension

This law says a new bank or trust company must send its paperwork to the commissioner within one year, or it loses the right to start. The commissioner can give extra time in 6‑month blocks if the company asks before the deadline and pays $100 for each extension.

Key Takeaways

  • •You have one year from approval to file incorporation paperwork.
  • •If you miss the deadline, you can ask for up to six months extra per request.
  • •Each extra period costs $100 and must be requested in writing before the current deadline runs out.

Example

A group wants to start a new trust company. They get approval on March 1, 2023, but they don’t file the required documents by March 1, 2024.

Because they missed the one‑year deadline, they would lose the chance to start the company. However, they can ask the commissioner for more time before March 1, 2024, pay $100, and get up to six extra months to finish the paperwork.

How to Calculate

Total extension time (months) = Number of extensions × 6

  1. Count how many extensions you are asking for.
  2. Multiply that number by 6 months.
  3. Multiply the number of extensions by $100 to find the total fee.

The trust company asks for two extensions.

Result: Total extra time = 2 × 6 = 12 months; Total fee = 2 × $100 = $200.

§ 1045 Bank Organization Deadline Extension

If the proposed bank or trust company fails to file evidence of incorporation and organization with the commissioner pursuant to Section 1041 within one year after the approval of the application for authority to organize the bank or trust company, the right to organize the bank or trust company automatically terminates. The commissioner, however, for good cause on written application filed before the expiration of the original period or any additional period, as the case may be, and payment of a fee of one hundred dollars ($100), may extend for additional periods not in excess of six months each the time within which the bank or trust company may be organized. (Added by Stats. 2011, Ch. 243, Sec. 3. (SB 664) Effective January 1, 2012.)
