Nothing in this act shall authorize such association to engage in the banking business. Corporations organized under this act primarily for the purposes stated above, unless prohibited from so doing by their articles of incorporation, also may deal in the products of nonmembers; manufacture, sell or supply to nonmembers services, products, machinery, equipment or supplies, whether or not supplied to members; and otherwise engage in business with nonmembers. Such associations shall not market, handle, process, store, or deal in the products of nonmembers; manufacture, sell or supply to nonmembers services, products, machinery, equipment or supplies, whether or not supplied to members; and otherwise engage in business with nonmembers; or handle supplies for nonmembers, to an amount greater in value than such as are handled by the association for members.
