Fin. Code, § 16527

(a) No foreign (other nation) credit union that is licensed to maintain a representative office shall relocate the office unless the commissioner shall have first approved the relocation and issued a license authorizing the credit union to maintain the office at the new site.

(b) (1) In case the new site of a representative office is in the same vicinity as the old site, the commissioner shall approve an application by a foreign (other nation) credit union for approval to relocate the representative office if the commissioner finds that the relocation of the office will not be substantially detrimental to the public convenience and advantage.

(2) In case the new site of a representative office is not in the same vicinity as the old site, the commissioner shall approve an application by a foreign (other nation) credit union for approval to relocate the representative office if the commissioner finds both of the following:

(i) The relocation of the office from the old site will not be substantially detrimental to the public convenience and advantage in the area that is primarily served by the office at the old site.

(ii) The relocation of the office to the new site will promote the public convenience and advantage.

If the commissioner does not make the findings required under either paragraph (1) or (2), the commissioner shall deny the application.

(c) Whenever an application by a foreign (other nation) credit union for approval to relocate a representative office has been approved and all conditions precedent to the issuance of a license authorizing the foreign (other nation) credit union to maintain the office at the new site have been fulfilled, the commissioner shall issue the license.

(d) Promptly after a foreign (other nation) credit union that is licensed to maintain a representative office relocates the office, the foreign (other nation) credit union shall surrender to the commissioner the license that authorized it to maintain the office at the old site.
