If a savings bank does not pay all withdrawals in full, subject to the right of the savings bank to require notice, the payment of withdrawals from withdrawable accounts shall be subject to such rules and procedures as may be prescribed by the savings bank's articles of incorporation and bylaws or by regulations of the commissioner. Any savings bank that fails to make full payment of any withdrawal when due shall be deemed to be in an unsafe or unsound condition.

However, if the savings bank has a list of requests for withdrawals and matured certificates, which it cannot find, such sale of assets shall be to the highest bidder, and at least ten days notice of the proposed sale shall be given by mail to all holders of withdrawable or matured accounts whose names appear on the withdrawal or maturity list.
