Chapter 58: Financial Institutions and Regulations
Article 26: Interstate Depository Institutions, 58-26-1 through 58-26-8
Section 58-26-2: Purpose of act.
58-26-2. Purpose of act.
The purpose of the Interstate Depository Institutions Act [58-26-1 NMSA 1978] is to attract capital to New Mexico through interstate acquisitions and mergers of financial institutions to enhance economic development for the benefit of all New Mexicans. At the same time, the legislature encourages any such mergers or acquisitions to provide for local management discretion so that consumers may deal directly with lenders who understand their financial circumstances and needs.
The Interstate Depository Institutions Act is designed to encourage aggressive, spirited competition in the financial arenas to offer lower interest rates, increased capital availability, cooperative risk-taking by lenders and competition in the financial market place. The legislature has as its goal the availability of financial resources to all its citizens no matter their race, color, creed, national origin or geographic location within the state.
