Avoiding trouble
bank group's aim
State banking authorities
much prefer to save a troubled
bank than to close it.
“We are much more proud of
the banks we save through
getting new ownership,
management or policies than of
the banks we have closed,”
State Banking .Commissioner
Robert E. Stewart told the
Rotary Club Thursday.
“We don’t close a bank unless
it is absolutely necessary.
Closing a bank has a tremen-
dous negative impact on a
community. I have seen towns
literally disappear after their
banks have failed.”
Stewart said that since about
1976 early attention to problem
banks has led to early
correction and avoidance of
serious problems.
“I feel we are pretty well
prepared to meet the sub-
stantial changes that are
coming in the banking industry
during the next few years,” he
added.
“Stewart explained that his
department is one of three
divisions of the Finance
Commission of Texas. Others
regulate savings and loan and
consumer credit agencies.
“The banking department
generates lots of heat because
for every application we get for
a bank charier there is also an
opponent,” he said.
The department has 207
employees and maintains
jurisdiction over 830 banks with
$32.8 billion in resources, a
growth of 400 percent in the last
ten years.
Stewart said the department
can close a bank, put it under a
conservatorship, issue
guidelines to govern continuing
operation, issue cease and
desist orders and remove bank
officers who won’t obey orders.
