369.684. Examination required, expenses. — 1. When any savings bank has filed with the director proper copies of its articles of agreement, paid the incorporation and other fees in full, and provided the cash, as required by law, the director, before the savings bank completes its incorporation, shall cause an examination to be made to determine whether:
(1) The requisite capital of the savings bank has been subscribed in good faith and paid in actual cash and is ready for use in the transaction of its business;
(2) The character, responsibility and general fitness of the persons named in the articles of agreement and any holding company on whose behalf they are acting are such as to command confidence and warrant belief that the business of the proposed institution will be conducted honestly and efficiently in accordance with the intent and purpose of this chapter; and
(3) The convenience and needs of the community to be served justify and warrant the opening of the savings bank in the community, and if the probable volume of business in such community is sufficient to ensure and maintain the solvency of the new savings bank and the solvency of the then existing depository institutions in the community.
2. The persons named in the articles of agreement shall be liable for all expenses incurred in making the examination, including the wages and other necessary expenses of each examiner making the examination; except that, if the charter is granted, such incurred expenses may be assumed by the savings bank so chartered.
