Name of institution; advertising; restrictions

9-2308. Name of institution; advertising; restrictions. A fiduciary financial institution may use in such fiduciary financial institution's business name or advertising the words "fiduciary financial institution" or any similar term or phrase, but may not use in such institution's name the words "bank" or "trust company" without reference to fidfin trusts or any other term that tends to imply that such fiduciary financial institution is a bank or trust company, unless the commissioner has approved the use in writing after finding that the use will not be misleading. While a fiduciary financial institution is a trust company for purposes of federal and state law and rules and regulations and possesses trust powers under this act, it is the intent of this section to impose restrictions on the name of such institution to avoid confusion with other banks and trust companies that operate in this state but that are not fiduciary financial institutions. The naming restrictions imposed under this section shall in no way reduce or eliminate the trust powers granted to a fiduciary financial institution as a trust company under this act. Other than indicating that the fiduciary financial institution is headquartered and chartered in Kansas, no fiduciary financial institution's name or advertising shall infer or imply that such fiduciary financial institution is endorsed by, an affiliate of or otherwise connected with the government of the state of Kansas.
