Upon the filing of an application for a permit to organize, an applicant may request that the Commissioner reserve the name of the proposed bank. The reservation shall be made by filing with the Commissioner an application to reserve a specified corporate name on forms prescribed by the Commissioner. If the Commissioner finds that the name is available for corporate use, he or she shall reserve the name for the exclusive use of the applicant. The Commissioner shall prescribe by rule the duration of the reservation.
The right to the exclusive use of a specified corporate name so reserved may be transferred to any other person by filing with the Commissioner a notice of the transfer executed by the person for whom such name was reserved and specifying the name and address of the transferee.
The Commissioner may revoke any reservation if, after a hearing, he or she finds that the application therefor was made contrary to this Act.
