§ 1071 Bank Office Certificate Fees

This law says the commissioner must give a bank a two‑part certificate to open an office, and the bank has to pay $25 for each certificate it gets.

Key Takeaways

  • •The commissioner issues a duplicate (two‑copy) certificate for each bank office.
  • •Each certificate costs the bank $25.
  • •The total cost is simply $25 multiplied by how many certificates the bank receives.

Example

A bank wants to open a new branch in a town.

The bank asks the commissioner for a certificate. The commissioner sends two copies of the certificate, and the bank pays $25 for that certificate.

How to Calculate

Total Fee = $25 × Number of Certificates Issued

  1. Count how many certificates the bank is getting.
  2. Multiply that number by $25.
  3. The product is the amount the bank must pay.

A bank applies for three separate office certificates.

Result: Total Fee = $25 × 3 = $75
