2.59.104    SEMIANNUAL ASSESSMENT

(1) The Division of Banking and Financial Institutions invoices banks for semiannual assessments every June and December. The assessment is based on each bank's total assets provided in its previous March and September call reports.

(2) The fee is calculated based on the total assets of the bank multiplied by .0000375, plus the flat fee listed below.

Over $50 to $100 million

Over $100 to $250 million

$5,000

Over $250 million to

$1 billion

 

 $7,500

$15,000

 

Example: Bank A reports total assets of $58,873,000 x .0000375 plus $3,000 equals $5,207.74.

(3) The assessment is due 30 days after each invoice date, or July 31 and January 31, whichever is later.

(4) The fee shall not exceed $600,000 for the assessment period. For example, if Bank A paid $375,000 for the first assessment in June, the maximum amount due for the second assessment in December would be $225,000.

(5) In the event of a bank merger between Montana state-chartered banks during the second or fourth quarter of the year, the assessment fee for the acquired bank must be paid by the surviving bank.
