Section 1815. Deposit insurance

    (a) Application to Corporation required
      (1) In general
        Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3), any depository
      institution which is engaged in the business of receiving
      deposits other than trust funds (as defined in section 1813(p) of
      this title), upon application to and examination by the
      Corporation and approval by the Board of Directors, may become an
      insured depository institution.
      (2) Interim depository institutions
        In the case of any interim Federal depository institution that
      is chartered by the appropriate Federal banking agency and will
      not open for business, the depository institution shall be an
      insured depository institution upon the issuance of the
      institution's charter by the agency.
      (3) Application and approval not required in cases of continued
        insurance
        Paragraph (1) shall not apply in the case of any depository
      institution whose insured status is continued pursuant to section
      1814 of this title.
      (4) Review requirements
        In reviewing any application under this subsection, the Board
      of Directors shall consider the factors described in section 1816
      of this title in determining whether to approve the application
      for insurance.
      (5) Notice of denial of application for insurance
        If the Board of Directors votes to deny any application for
      insurance by any depository institution, the Board of Directors
      shall promptly notify the appropriate Federal banking agency and,
      in the case of any State depository institution, the appropriate
      State banking supervisor of the denial of such application,
      giving specific reasons in writing for the Board of Directors'
      determination with reference to the factors described in section
      1816 of this title.
      (6) Nondelegation requirement
        The authority of the Board of Directors to make any
      determination to deny any application under this subsection may
      not be delegated by the Board of Directors.
    (b) Foreign branch nonmember banks; matters considered
      Subject to the provisions of this chapter and to such terms and
    conditions as the Board of Directors may impose, any branch of a
    foreign bank, upon application by the bank to the Corporation, and
    examination by the Corporation of the branch, and approval by the
    Board of Directors, may become an insured branch. Before approving
    any such application, the Board of Directors shall give
    consideration to - 
        (1) the financial history and condition of the bank,
        (2) the adequacy of its capital structure,
        (3) its future earnings prospects,
        (4) the general character and fitness of its management,
      including but not limited to the management of the branch
      proposed to be insured,
        (5) the risk presented to the Bank Insurance Fund or the
      Savings Association Insurance Fund,
        (6) the convenience and needs of the community to be served by
      the branch,
        (7) whether or not its corporate powers, insofar as they will
      be exercised through the proposed insured branch, are consistent
      with the purposes of this chapter, and
        (8) the probable adequacy and reliability of information
      supplied and to be supplied by the bank to the Corporation to
      enable it to carry out its functions under this chapter.
    (c) Protection to deposit insurance fund; surety bond, pledge of
      assets, etc.; injunction
      (1) Before any branch of a foreign bank becomes an insured
    branch, the bank shall deliver to the Corporation or as the
    Corporation may direct a surety bond, a pledge of assets, or both,
    in such amounts and of such types as the Corporation may require or
    approve, for the purpose set forth in paragraph (4) of this
    subsection.
      (2) After any branch of a foreign bank becomes an insured branch,
    the bank shall maintain on deposit with the Corporation, or as the
    Corporation may direct, surety bonds or assets or both, in such
    amounts and of such types as shall be determined from time to time
    in accordance with such regulations as the Board of Directors may
    prescribe. Such regulations may impose differing requirements on
    the basis of any factors which in the judgment of the Board of
    Directors are reasonably related to the purpose set forth in
    paragraph (4).
      (3) The Corporation may require of any given bank larger deposits
    of bonds and assets than required under paragraph (2) of this
    subsection if, in the judgment of the Corporation, the situation of
    that bank or any branch thereof is or becomes such that the
    deposits of bonds and assets otherwise required under this section
    would not adequately fulfill the purpose set forth in paragraph
    (4). The imposition of any such additional requirements may be
    without notice or opportunity for hearing, but the Corporation
    shall afford an opportunity to any such bank to apply for a
    reduction or removal of any such additional requirements so
    imposed.
      (4) The purpose of the surety bonds and pledges of assets
    required under this subsection is to provide protection to the
    deposit insurance fund against the risks entailed in insuring the
    domestic deposits of a foreign bank whose activities, assets, and
    personnel are in large part outside the jurisdiction of the United
    States. In the implementation of its authority under this
    subsection, however, the Corporation shall endeavor to avoid
    imposing requirements on such banks which would unnecessarily place
    them at a competitive disadvantage in relation to domestically
    incorporated banks.
      (5) In the case of any failure or threatened failure of a foreign
    bank to comply with any requirement imposed under this subsection
    (c), the Corporation, in addition to all other administrative and
    judicial remedies, may apply to any United States district court,
    or United States court of any territory, within the jurisdiction of
    which any branch of the bank is located, for an injunction to
    compel such bank and any officer, employee, or agent thereof, or
    any other person having custody or control of any of its assets, to
    deliver to the Corporation such assets as may be necessary to meet
    such requirement, and to take any other action necessary to vest
    the Corporation with control of assets so delivered. If the court
    shall determine that there has been any such failure or threatened
    failure to comply with any such requirement, it shall be the duty
    of the court to issue such injunction. The propriety of the
    requirement may be litigated only as provided in chapter 7 of title
    5, and may not be made an issue in an action for an injunction
    under this paragraph.
    (d) Insurance fees
      (1) Uninsured institutions
        (A) In general
          Any institution that becomes insured by the Corporation, and
        any noninsured branch that becomes insured by the Corporation,
        shall pay the Corporation any fee which the Corporation may by
        regulation prescribe, after giving due consideration to the
        need to establish and maintain reserve ratios in the Bank
        Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund as
        required by section 1817 of this title.
        (B) Fee credited to appropriate fund
          The fee paid by the depository institution shall be credited
        to the Bank Insurance Fund if the depository institution
        becomes a Bank Insurance Fund member, and to the Savings
        Association Insurance Fund if the depository institution
        becomes a Savings Association Insurance Fund member.
        (C) Exception for certain depository institutions
          Any depository institution that becomes an insured depository
        institution by operation of section 1814(a) of this title shall
        not pay any fee.
      (2) Conversions
        (A) In general
          (i) Prior approval required
            No insured depository institution may participate in a
          conversion transaction without the prior approval of the
          Corporation.
          (ii) 5-year moratorium on conversions
            Except as provided in subparagraph (C), the Corporation may
          not approve any conversion transaction before the later of
          the end of the 5-year period beginning on August 9, 1989, or
          the date on which the Savings Association Insurance Fund
          first meets or exceeds the designated reserve ratio for such
          fund.
        (B) "Conversion transaction" defined
          For purposes of this paragraph, the term "conversion
        transaction" means - 
            (i) the change of status of an insured depository
          institution from a Bank Insurance Fund member to a Savings
          Association Insurance Fund member or from a Savings
          Association Insurance Fund member to a Bank Insurance Fund
          member;
            (ii) the merger or consolidation of a Bank Insurance Fund
          member with a Savings Association Insurance Fund member;
            (iii) the assumption of any liability by - 
              (I) any Bank Insurance Fund member to pay any deposits of
            a Savings Association Insurance Fund member; or
              (II) any Savings Association Insurance Fund member to pay
            any deposits of a Bank Insurance Fund member;

            assumption of liabilities for any portion of the deposits
            of such Bank Insurance Fund member; or
              (II) any Savings Association Insurance Fund member to any
            Bank Insurance Fund member in consideration of the
            assumption of liabilities for any portion of the deposits
            of such Savings Association Insurance Fund member; and

            (v) the transfer of deposits -

          in a transaction in which the deposit is received from a
          depositor at an insured depository institution for which a
          receiver has been appointed and the receiving insured
          depository institution is acting as agent for the Corporation
          in connection with the payment of such deposit to the
          depositor at the institution for which a receiver has been
          appointed.
        (C) Approval during moratorium
          The Corporation may approve a conversion transaction at any
        time if - 
            (i) the conversion transaction affects an insubstantial
          portion, as determined by the Corporation, of the total
          deposits of each depository institution participating in the
          conversion transaction;
            (ii) the conversion occurs in connection with the
          acquisition of a Savings Association Insurance Fund member in
          default or in danger of default, and the Corporation
          determines that the estimated financial benefits to the
          Savings Association Insurance Fund or Resolution Trust
          Corporation equal or exceed the Corporation's estimate of
          loss of assessment income to such insurance fund over the
          remaining balance of the moratorium period established by
          subparagraph (A), and the Resolution Trust Corporation
          concurs in the Corporation's determination; or

          danger of default and the Corporation determines that the
          estimated financial benefits to the Bank Insurance Fund equal
          or exceed the Corporation's estimate of the loss of
          assessment income to the insurance fund over the remaining
          balance of the moratorium period established by subparagraph
          (A).
        (D) Certain transfers deemed to affect insubstantial portion of
          total deposits
          For purposes of subparagraph (C)(i), any conversion
        transaction shall be deemed to affect an insubstantial portion
        of the total deposits of an insured depository institution, to
        the extent the aggregate amount of the total deposits
        transferred in such transaction and in all conversion
        transactions occurring after August 9, 1989, does not exceed 35
        percent of the lesser of - 
            (i) the amount which is equal to the sum of - 
              (I) the total deposits of such insured depository
            institution on May 1, 1989; and
              (II) the total amount of net interest credited to the
            depository institution's deposits during the period
            beginning on May 1, 1989, and ending on the date of the
            transfer of deposits in connection with such transaction;
            or

            (ii) the amount which is equal to the total deposits of
          such insured depository institution on the date of the
          transfer of deposits in connection with such transaction.
        (E) Exit and entrance fees
          Each insured depository institution participating in a
        conversion transaction shall pay - 
            (i) in the case of a conversion transaction in which the
          resulting or acquiring depository institution is not a
          Savings Association Insurance Fund member, an exit fee (in an
          amount to be determined and assessed in accordance with
          subparagraph (F)) which - 
              (I) shall be deposited in the Savings Association
            Insurance Fund; or
              (II) shall be paid to the Financing Corporation, if the
            Secretary of the Treasury determines that the Financing
            Corporation has exhausted all other sources of funding for
            interest payments on the obligations of the Financing
            Corporation and orders that such fees be paid to the
            Financing Corporation;

            resulting or acquiring depository institution is a Bank
            Insurance Fund member, the fee shall be the approximate
            amount which the Corporation calculates as necessary to
            prevent dilution of the Bank Insurance Fund, and shall be
            paid to the Bank Insurance Fund; and
              (II) in the case of a conversion transaction in which the
            resulting or acquiring depository institution is a Savings
            Association Insurance Fund member, the fee shall be the
            approximate amount which the Corporation calculates as
            necessary to prevent dilution of the Savings Association
            Insurance Fund, and shall be paid to the Savings
            Association Insurance Fund.

          for assessing any exit or entrance fee under subparagraph
          (E).
        (G) Charter conversion of SAIF members
          This subsection shall not be construed as prohibiting any
        savings association which is a Savings Association Insurance
        Fund member from converting to a bank charter during the period
        described in subparagraph (A)(ii) if the resulting bank remains
        a Savings Association Insurance Fund member.
      (3) Optional conversions subject to special rules on deposit
        insurance payments
        (A) Conversions allowed

        transaction is approved by the responsible agency under section
        1828(c)(2) of this title.
        (B) Assessments on deposits attributable to former depository
          institution
          (i) Assessments by SAIF
            In the case of any acquiring, assuming, or resulting
          depository institution which is a Bank Insurance Fund member,
          that portion of the deposits of such member for any
          semiannual period which is equal to the adjusted attributable
          deposit amount (determined under subparagraph (C) with
          respect to the transaction) shall be treated as deposits
          which are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund.
          (ii) Assessments by BIF
            In the case of any acquiring, assuming, or resulting
          depository institution which is a Savings Association
          Insurance Fund member, that portion of the deposits of such
          member for any semiannual period which is equal to the
          adjusted attributable deposit amount (determined under
          subparagraph (C) with respect to the transaction) shall be
          treated as deposits which are insured by the Bank Insurance
          Fund.
        (C) Determination of adjusted attributable deposit amount
          Except as provided in subparagraph (K), the adjusted
        attributable deposit amount which shall be taken into account
        for purposes of determining the amount of the assessment under
        subparagraph (B) for any semiannual period by any acquiring,
        assuming, or resulting depository institution in connection
        with a transaction under subparagraph (A) is the amount which
        is equal to the sum of - 
            (i) the amount of any deposits acquired by the institution
          in connection with the transaction (as determined at the time
          of such transaction);
            (ii) the total of the amounts determined under clause (iii)
          for semiannual periods preceding the semiannual period for
          which the determination is being made under this
          subparagraph; and
            (iii) the amount by which the sum of the amounts described
          in clauses (i) and (ii) would have increased during the
          preceding semiannual period (other than any semiannual period
          beginning before the date of such transaction) if such
          increase occurred at a rate equal to the annual rate of
          growth of deposits of the acquiring, assuming, or resulting
          depository institution minus the amount of any deposits
          acquired through the acquisition, in whole or in part, of
          another insured depository institution.

          connection with any particular application.
          (ii) No transfer of deposit insurance permitted

          Federal deposit insurance fund to the other Federal deposit
          insurance fund.
          (iii) Capital requirements
            A transaction described in this paragraph shall not be

        (G) Allocation of costs in event of default
          If any acquiring, assuming, or resulting depository
        institution is in default or danger of default at any time
        before this paragraph ceases to apply, any loss incurred by the
        Corporation shall be allocated between the Bank Insurance Fund
        and the Savings Association Insurance Fund, in amounts
        reflecting the amount of insured deposits of such acquiring,
        assuming, or resulting depository institution assessed by the
        Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund,
        respectively, under subparagraph (B).
        (H) Subsequent approval of conversion transaction
          This paragraph shall cease to apply if - 
            (i) after the end of the moratorium period established by

          any acquiring, assuming, or resulting depository institution
          to treat the transaction described in subparagraph (A) as a
          conversion transaction; and

        (I) "Acquiring, assuming, or resulting depository institution"
          defined
          For purposes of this paragraph, the term "acquiring,
        assuming, or resulting depository institution" means any
        insured depository institution which - 
            (i) results from any transaction described in paragraph
          (2)(B)(ii) and approved under this paragraph;
            (ii) in connection with a transaction described in
          paragraph (2)(B)(iii) and approved under this paragraph,
          assumes any liability to pay deposits of another insured
          depository institution; or
            (iii) in connection with a transaction described in
          paragraph (2)(B)(iv) and approved under this paragraph,

          commonly controlled depository institution its pro rata share
          of any overpayment.
          (ii) Underpayment
            If the amount of compensation estimated by and paid to the
          Corporation by 1 or more such commonly controlled depository
          institutions is less than the actual loss incurred by the

          discretion the liability of each such commonly controlled
          depository institution to the Corporation and shall require
          each such commonly controlled depository institution to make
          payment of any additional liability to the Corporation.
