7-1-716. Effect, renewal, and revocation of licenses; permissible activities


(a) When the department shall have issued a license to any such international banking corporation, it may engage in the business authorized by this article at the office specified in such license until the license expires or until such license is surrendered or revoked. The department may establish the license period by regulation. No such license shall be transferable or assignable.

(b) Such license may be renewed annually within 30 days of the expiration of such license upon application to the department upon forms to be supplied by it for that purpose. Such license may be renewed by the department upon its determination, with or without examination, that the international banking corporation is in a safe and satisfactory condition, that it has complied with requirements of law with respect to the international bank agency, and that such renewal of the license is proper and has been duly authorized by proper corporate action.

(c) Such license may be revoked by the department, with or without examination, upon its determination that the international banking corporation does not meet the criteria established by subsection (b) of this Code section for renewal of licenses.

(d) In the event any such license shall be revoked by the department or the renewal thereof refused by the department, all the rights and privileges of such international banking corporation to transact the business thus licensed shall forthwith cease, and such license shall be surrendered to the department within 24 hours after the licensee has received written notice of such decision.

(e) An international banking corporation licensed under the terms of this article to carry on business in this state shall be authorized to conduct a general banking business through its international bank agency in like manner as banks existing under the laws of this state, except that no such international banking corporation shall, through such agency, exercise fiduciary powers or receive deposits but may maintain for the account of others credit balances incidental to or arising out of the exercise of its lawful powers.
