Summary
A national bank may merge with one or more of its nonbank subsidiaries or affiliates if the Comptroller approves. That approval does not change how section 1828(c) of this title applies, and it does not give a bank any powers beyond what other laws allow. The Comptroller must make rules to carry out these mergers.
