FIN §6528: An association may provide correspondent services primarily to other depository institutions to the extent that the activity does not violate other provisions of law.

An association may provide correspondent services primarily to other depository institutions to the extent that the activity does not violate other provisions of law. (a) An association may maintain a noninterest-bearing account at any institution at which accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, if the account is necessary or incidental to a correspondent relationship. (b) An association may receive non-interest-bearing deposits from correspondent institutions for use as compensating balances, for settlement purposes, or for other purposes incidental to a correspondent relationship. These deposits may be payable on demand and subject to withdrawal by negotiable or transferable instrument, order, or authorization. These deposits shall not give rise to voting rights of membership in a state mutual association.
