Subchapter II. Formation
§ 1514. Determination of public convenience.

Upon the application for a certificate that public convenience and advantage will be promoted by the establishment of the credit card institution, the State Bank Commissioner shall consider and determine whether public convenience and advantage would be promoted by the establishment of the credit card institution, and whether the terms and provisions of the articles of association and the proposed corporation's location and plan of operation are in compliance with this chapter, and shall issue or refuse to issue a certificate in accordance with such determination. In making such determination, the State Bank Commissioner shall consider, in addition to such other matters as the Commissioner may deem relevant, the experience of the incorporator(s) in the credit card business and with respect to the acceptance and administration of time deposits, and, if applicable, the quality of management and past financial performance. If the Commissioner refuses to issue a certificate, no further proceedings shall be had, but the application may be renewed after 1 year from the date of the refusal. If the Commissioner issues the certificate, the incorporator(s) shall hold the first meeting and follow the procedure prescribed by § 1515 of this title.
