RS 6:1258 Voluntary withdrawal of accounts
§1258. Voluntary withdrawal of accounts
A. A holder of a withdrawable account may make application to withdraw it and the savings bank may pay all or any part of the withdrawal value thereof at any time. However, a savings bank may enter into a contract pursuant to the laws of the United States or this state which may provide, among other things, that no withdrawal may be made except as provided by the law specifically referred to in the contract or the certificate of withdrawable account.
B. If a savings bank does not pay all withdrawals in full, subject to the right of the savings bank to require notice, the payment of withdrawals from withdrawable accounts shall be subject to such rules and procedures as may be prescribed by the savings bank's articles of incorporation and bylaws or by regulations of the commissioner. Any savings bank that fails to make full payment of any withdrawal when due shall be deemed to be in an unsafe or unsound condition.
C. Withdrawable accounts pledged as sole security for a loan shall be subject to the withdrawal provisions of this Part, but amounts available for payment on the application for withdrawal shall be applied first to the repayment of the loan balance.
D. Withdrawable accounts may be accepted by the savings bank in payment or part payment for any real estate or other assets owned by the savings bank. However, if the savings bank has a list of requests for withdrawals and matured certificates, which it cannot find, such sale of assets shall be to the highest bidder, and at least ten days notice of the proposed sale shall be given by mail to all holders of withdrawable or matured accounts whose names appear on the withdrawal or maturity list.
