North Carolina § 53-232 - 4. Application of this Chapter.

§ 53-232. 4. Application of this Chapter.

International banking corporations, other than federal international bank institutions, are subject to Articles 1 through 14 and Articles 17 and 18 of this Chapter, except where it appears, from the context or otherwise, that a provision is clearly applicable only to banks or trust companies organized under the laws of this State or the United States. An international banking corporation has no greater right under, or by virtue of, this Article than is granted to banks organized under the laws of this State. Nothing in this Article is construed as granting any authority, directly or indirectly, for a domestic bank or domestic bank holding company, the operations of which are conducted principally outside this State, to operate a branch in this State or to acquire, directly or indirectly, any voting shares of, or interest in, or all or substantially all of the assets of a bank in this State.
