Chapter 2 - Banks and Trust Companies
Section 20 CSR 1140-2.127 - Branch Banking- ATMs
PURPOSE: On September 30, 1996, federal law ( 12 U.S.C. 36 ) was amended to state that automated teller machines and remote service units were not branches, eliminating the need for regulatory approval. This rule restores parity between state and national banks.
The term "branch" in section 362.107, RSMo does not include an automated teller machine, a point of sale device, a cash dispensing machine, or similar unmanned banking terminal. Accordingly, it is not necessary to obtain the approval of the commissioner of finance to establish or relocate such a device.
