12 U.S.C. § 62 — List of shareholders

This section requires every national banking association to keep records of who owns it. The president and cashier of the bank must cause a full and correct list to be kept at all times. The list must show the names and residences of every shareholder, and the number of shares each one holds. It must be kept in the office where the bank does its business. That list must be open for inspection. Any shareholder or creditor of the association can look at it during the business hours of each day the bank is legally open. State officers who are authorized to assess taxes can inspect it too. Finally, if the Comptroller of the Currency demands a copy, the bank must send one within ten days of that demand. The copy must be verified — sworn to under oath — by the bank's president or cashier.
