No action yet on Iowa league's application to buy bank
DES MOINES, Iowa (11/4/09)--Bank regulators have yet to rule on the Iowa Credit Union League's application to acquire an Arizona-based bank to possibly provide correspondent services to Iowa's credit unions as the Iowa Corporate Central CU reviews its future.
Both the Federal Reserve Bank in its capacity as the regulator of bank holding companies and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) as the primary regulator of national banks review such applications.
