This chapter provides for the creation of credit card institutions, chartered under the laws of this State, including institutions that accept collateral for extensions of credit by holding deposits under $100,000, and by other means that engage only in credit card operations, do not accept demand deposits or deposits that the depositor may withdraw by check or similar means for payment to third parties or others, do not accept any savings or time deposit of less than $100,000, maintain only one office that accepts deposits and do not engage in the business of making commercial loans, and are excepted from the definition of “bank” in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, 12 U.S.C. § 1841 et seq.

A corporation formed under and pursuant to this chapter shall be known as a “credit card institution”, shall be subject to regulation by the State Bank Commissioner to the same extent as a bank organized under Chapter 7 of this title and shall be deemed and held to be subject to this title, and to any other general statute of this State making provision for the regulation of banks, where any of the foregoing are not inconsistent with the express provisions of this chapter.

Every corporation created under and pursuant to this chapter, and every corporation whose charter or certificate of incorporation is amended under this chapter, shall be subject to the same taxation which shall be fixed by the laws of this State for banks and trust companies.

This chapter may be amended or repealed at the pleasure of the General Assembly, but such amendment or repeal shall not take away or repeal any remedy against any corporation established under this chapter, or its officers, for any liability which shall have been previously incurred. This chapter and all amendments thereof shall be part of the charter or certificate of incorporation of every corporation formed under this chapter.

No corporation formed under this chapter shall use the words “savings” or “trust” in its title or name.
