General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Franklin Nat’l Bank v. New York, 347 U.S. 373 (1954)
Franklin National Bank of Franklin Square v. New York No. 427 Argued March 9-10, 1954 Decided April 5, 1954 347 U.S. 373
APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
Insofar as it forbids national banks to use the word "saving" or "savings" in their business or advertising, the New York statute here involved is invalid, because it conflicts with federal laws expressly authorizing national banks to receive savings deposits and to exercise incidental powers. Pp. 374-379.
(a) The provision of § 24 of the Federal Reserve Act authorizing national banks to "continue hereafter as heretofore to receive time and savings deposits" is declaratory of the right of national banks to enter into or remain in that type of business, and their authority to receive savings deposits is not limited or qualified by the expression "continue hereafter as heretofore." P. 377.
(b) Nor are national banks precluded from advertising for the savings deposits which they are expressly authorized to accept. Pp. 377-378.
(c) Congress did not intend to make this phase of national banking subject to local restrictions because of the special significance attached to the word "savings" in some states. P. 378.
305 N.Y. 453, 113 N.E.2d 796, reversed.
