§ 767. Limitations on powers and activities of banks and trust companies.
(a) Any bank or trust company which engages in any activity authorized by § 761(a)(14) of this title otherwise than through a subsidiary thereof shall engage in each such activity through a department or division which shall maintain financial records separate and distinct from other records of such bank or trust company; provided, that such division may be established and may engage in each such activity only in accordance with the provisions of Title 18.
(b) A bank or trust company which engages in any activity authorized by § 761(a)(14) of this title, whether through a department, division or subsidiary, may make loans to and transact other business with such department, division or subsidiary, provided such loan or other transaction is made on terms and under circumstances substantially the same as for comparable transactions with or involving other customers, or, in the absence of comparable transactions, upon terms and under circumstances that in good faith would be offered to or would apply to other customers.
(c) No department, division or subsidiary of a bank or trust company which engages in any activity authorized by § 761(a)(14) of this title shall utilize in any manner or for any purpose the information contained in any insurance contract between a nonaffiliated insurer and the insured which such company has obtained from the insured in connection with any request for an extension of credit.
(d) No bank or trust company which engages in any activity authorized by § 761(a)(14) of this title shall, in evaluating any request or application for the extension of credit, discriminate against an applicant on the basis that such applicant is a competitor of such bank or trust company in any such activity.
(e) The offer to sell or the sale of any insurance product authorized to be sold under this section shall be made only by those individuals who are validly licensed as insurance agents or brokers in the State or other jurisdiction in which the sale of insurance is offered or consummated. The offer to sell insurance products shall include, but not be limited to, solicitation by mail, telephone, electronic or print media, and by personal contact. Violation of this subsection shall subject the violator and the employer of the violator to the penalties prescribed in Title 18 for solicitation or sale of insurance and the receipt or payment of commissions to unauthorized persons, if the violation occurred in this State. The Banking Commissioner and the Insurance Commissioner shall be charged to advise regulators in other states or jurisdictions when it is discovered that such violations have occurred in such other state or jurisdiction.
