Upon the application for a certificate that public convenience and advantage will be promoted by the establishment of the bank or trust company, the State Bank Commissioner shall consider and determine whether public convenience and advantage would be promoted by the establishment of the bank or trust company, and whether the terms and provisions of the articles of association are in compliance with this chapter and shall issue or refuse to issue a certificate in accordance with such determination. If the Commissioner refuses to issue a certificate, no further proceedings shall be had, but the application may be renewed after 1 year from the date of the refusal.
