Banks may form savings departments under current law
Attorney General Mullan declares that national state and private banks may establish savings departments within their banking operations and that individuals partnerships and private corporations may engage in savings banking. Restrictions arise only from section 1859 of the Iowa code which bars using the phrases savings bank and savings institution in public advertising. The issue drew county action in Page County where a national bank planned a savings department, prompting a threat of prosecution to bank President Reed. Mullan’s opinion questions whether Reed transgressed the law and an auditor raised the matter during a broader inquiry.
