HRS §412:5A-203
Minimum money international banks must keep
International banking corporations must always have a certain amount of paid-in capital and surplus, as set by the commissioner. The minimum capital is $750,000, but with approval, they can start with 25% and pay the rest in installments. Surplus must be 20% of capital, built up from profits after dividends.
The statute, as written — Paid-in capital and surplus
Every international banking corporation shall at all times have paid-in capital and surplus in such amounts as shall be established for all international banking corporations by rule by the commissioner; provided, that: (1) Paid-in capital shall at no time be less than $750,000, except that upon receiving its approval the international banking corporation need have only twenty-five per cent of the required capital paid-in, and the remainder may be paid up in installments of at least ten per cent of total required capital every two months thereafter; and (2) The minimum required surplus shall be twenty per cent of capital and need not be paid in or accumulated unless and until the international banking corporation has declared a dividend, whereupon at least ten per cent of its net profits shall be paid to surplus until the required minimum surplus has been fully paid up.
