Illinois Code § 5001

§ 5001.

Minimum capital. (a) A savings bank may be organized to exercise the powers conferred by this Act with minimum capital, surplus, and reserves for operating expenses as determined by the Commissioner. In no case may the Commissioner establish requirements for insured savings banks at a level less than that required for insurance of accounts. For any savings bank other than those resulting from conversion from an existing financial institution to one operating under this Act, the Commissioner must establish capital requirements no less stringent than those required of banks chartered under the Illinois Banking Act. (b) No savings bank may commence business until it has capital as required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. (c) Each depository institution converting to a savings bank, before declaration of a dividend on its capital stock, must maintain the minimum capital standards as required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
