663.06  Licenses; permissible activities.--

(1)  An international banking corporation licensed to operate an office in this state may engage in the business authorized by this part at the office specified in such license for an indefinite period. An international banking corporation may operate more than one international bank agency, international branch, or international representative office, each at a different place of business, provided that each office shall be separately licensed. No license to operate an international bank office is transferable or assignable. However, the location of an international bank office may be changed after notification of the office. Every such license shall be, at all times, conspicuously displayed in the place of business specified therein.

(2)  An international banking corporation which proposes to terminate the operations of its international bank agency, international branch, international representative office, or international administrative office shall surrender its license to the office and comply with such procedures as the commission may prescribe by rule.

(3)  An international bank agency, international branch, international representative office, or international administrative office license may be suspended or revoked by the office, with or without examination, upon its determination that the international banking corporation does not meet all requirements for original licensing. The commission may by rule prescribe additional conditions or standards under which the license of an international bank agency, international branch, international representative office, or international administrative office may be suspended or revoked.

(4)  In the event any such license is surrendered by the international banking corporation or is suspended or revoked by the office, all rights and privileges of the international banking corporation to transact the business thus licensed shall cease. The commission shall, by rule, prescribe procedures for the surrender of a license and for the orderly cessation of business by an international banking corporation in a manner which is not harmful to the interests of its customers or of the public.

(a)  An international branch may engage in any activities permissible for an international bank agency.
