§ 6-1610. Lending limits.  


Latest version.
  • Lending limits.

    A.  The Board shall by rule prescribe the limits of drafts or bills of exchange which an international bank agency may accept relative to the capital accounts of the international banking corporation.  These limits shall take into account all transactions which are included and excluded in computing the lending limit for acceptances of a federal agency licensed under the federal International Banking Act of 1978, as amended.

    B.  The provisions of Section 802 of Title 6 of the Oklahoma Statutes, except to the extent it is inconsistent with Section 15 of this act or the provisions of this section, shall apply to the loans and investments made by any international bank agencies of the international banking corporation.  As used in such sections with respect to an international banking corporation and its international bank agencies, the term "capital accounts" shall be deemed to refer to the capital and surplus of the international banking corporation, and, except when used with reference to capital accounts, the term "bank" shall be deemed to refer to the international bank agencies of the international banking corporation which are licensed in this state.

    C.  Any limitation in this section based on the capital accounts of an international banking corporation shall be deemed to refer, with respect to an international bank agency in this state, to the dollar equivalent of the capital accounts of the international banking corporation, as determined by the Board.  If the international banking corporation has more than one international bank agency in this state, the business transacted by all such agencies shall be aggregated in determining compliance with a limitation or restriction in this section.

    D.  With the prior written approval of the Commissioner, the capital notes and capital debentures of an international banking corporation may be treated as capital in computing the limitations referred to in this section.
