§ 1764 Foreign Bank License Posting

This law requires foreign banks that have an office to display their operating license in a visible spot at that office.

Key Takeaways

  • •Foreign banks with an office must post their license.
  • •The license must be placed in a conspicuous (easily seen) location.
  • •The rule applies to any non-U.S. bank that is licensed to operate in the jurisdiction.

Example

A German bank opens a branch in California and must hang its banking license on the wall where customers can easily see it.

The bank has to put the license where people walking into the branch can clearly see it, like on the front desk or a notice board, so anyone can verify the bank is authorized to operate there.
