Preparation and Use
This application is used to effect a transaction under:
■ Sections 5 and 6 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA), as amended (12 U.S.C. 1815, 1816), for federal
deposit insurance.
■ Section 5(e) of the Home Owners’ Loan Act (HOLA), as amended (12 U.S.C. 1464(e)), for a federal savings
association charter.
■ The National Bank Act, as amended (12 U.S.C. 21 et seq.), for a national bank charter.
■ The state law for applying for state depository charters, as approved by state regulatory authorities.
All questions must be answered with complete and accurate information that is subject to verification. If the answer is
"none," "not applicable," or "unknown," so state. Answers of "unknown" should be explained.
The questions in the application are not intended to limit the Applicant's presentation nor are the questions intended to
duplicate information supplied on another form or in an exhibit. For such information, a cross reference to the information
is acceptable. Any such cross-reference must be made to a specific cite or location in the documents, so the information
can be located easily. Supporting information for all relevant factors, setting forth the basis for Applicant's conclusions,
should accompany the application. The regulatory agency may request additional information.
This application form collects information that the regulatory agencies will need to evaluate a charter or insurance
application. While most of the information will be available when the organizers submit the application, some information
will not be available at that time. Each agency has specific purposes and different timing requirements in collecting some
of this information; for example, receipt of the organizers’ draft policies. For any question about when to submit a specific
item, organizers should contact the appropriate regulatory agencies to discuss the specific timing for submission.
The regulatory agency must consider the applicable statutory requirements set forth in the preceding provisions, as well
as applicable regulatory requirements, when acting on this application. For additional information regarding these
statutory and regulatory requirements, as well as processing procedures and guidelines and any supplemental
information that may be required, please refer to the appropriate regulatory agency's procedural guidelines [i.e.,
Comptroller’s Corporate Manual, the OCC’s rules and regulations (12 C.F.R. 5, 143), the FDIC's rules and regulations (12
C.F.R. 303, 309) and Statement of Policy on “Applications for Deposit Insurance”, or the application guidelines for the
state in which the Applicant seeks a state charter]. The Applicant may contact the agency directly for specific instruction
or visit their websites at www.fdic.gov, www.occ.treas.gov, and www.csbs.org, (through “Links” to each state banking
department).
Notice of Publication
The Applicant must publish notice of the proposed organization in a newspaper of general circulation in the community or
communities in which the proposed financial institution will be located. Contact the appropriate regulatory agency for the

Electronic Submission
In addition to an original application and the appropriate number of signed copies, the regulatory agencies would like to
have an electronic copy of the information in the application, especially of the business plan’s financial projections.
Submission of an electronic copy is voluntary. It will be used only for internal review and processing and will not be
released to the public. The electronic copy may be provided on a computer diskette, using common word processing
and spreadsheet software. For email submissions, contact the appropriate regulatory agency for instructions and
information about secure transmission of confidential material.
Confidentiality
Any Applicant desiring confidential treatment of specific portions of the application must submit a request in writing with
the application. The request must discuss the justification for the requested treatment. The Applicant's reasons for
requesting confidentiality should specifically demonstrate the harm (for example, loss of competitive position, invasion of
privacy) that would result from public release of information (5 U.S.C. 552 or relevant state law). Information for which
confidential treatment is requested should be: (1) specifically identified in the public portion of the application (by
reference to the confidential section); (2) separately bound; and (3) Labeled "Confidential." The Applicant should follow
the same procedure when requesting confidential treatment for the subsequent filing of supplemental information to the

confidential and will advise the Applicant of any decision to publicly release information labeled as "Confidential."

SECTION X - BUSINESS PLAN GUIDELINES
Preparation and Use
The business plan should be an integral part of the management and oversight of a financial institution (institution). It
should establish the institution’s goals and objectives. It is a written summary of how the business will organize its
resources to meet its goals and how the institution will measure progress.
The business plan should be a comprehensive plan, which is the result of in-depth planning by the institution’s organizers
and management. It should realistically forecast market demand, customer base, competition, and economic conditions.
The plan must reflect sound banking principles and demonstrate realistic assessment of risk in light of economic and
competitive conditions in the market to be served. An institution with a special purpose or focus (for example, credit card,
trust only, cash management, or bankers’ bank) should address this special or unique feature in detail in the appropriate
sections of the plan.
The business plan should cover three years and provide detailed explanations of actions that are proposed to accomplish
the primary functions of the institution. The description should provide enough detail to demonstrate that the institution
has a reasonable chance for success, will operate in a safe and sound manner, and will have adequate capital to support
the risk profile.
For any institution with an Internet or alternative electronic delivery channel, the plan should contain a clear and detailed
definition of the market the institution plans to serve and the products and services it will provide through electronic
channels. Because the Internet has a potential global market and can reach anyone with Internet access, the selected
information on market area and products and services is essential. The marketing plan should explain how the institution
would achieve brand recognition.
Confidentiality
Any Applicant desiring confidential treatment of specific portions of the plan and projections must submit the request in
writing. The request must discuss the justification for the requested treatment. The Applicant’s reasons for requesting
confidentiality should specifically demonstrate the harm (for example, loss of its competitive position, invasion of privacy)
that would result from public release of information (5 U.S.C. 552 or relevant state law). Information for which confidential
treatment is requested should be: (1) specifically identified in the public portion of the application (by reference to the
confidential section); (2) separately bound; and (3) Labeled "Confidential." The Applicant should follow the same
procedure when requesting confidential treatment for the subsequent filing of supplemental information to the plan.
The Applicant should contact the appropriate regulatory agency for specific instructions regarding requests for
confidential treatment. The appropriate regulatory agency will determine whether the information will be treated as
confidential and will advise the Applicant of any decision to publicly release information labeled as "Confidential."

Alternative Business Strategy (Optional unless your regulator requires)
An alternative business strategy details how an institution will operate under scenarios in which market conditions
differ significantly from those projected in this business plan. This alternative business strategy should be realistic
about the business risks and incorporate sound management of such risks. This alternative strategy should
consider potential adverse scenarios relating to the asset or liability mixes, interest rates, operating expenses,
marketing costs, and growth rates. This discussion should include realistic plans for how the bank would access
additional capital, if needed, in the future and, if applicable, contingency funding plans that address strategies for
managing potential liquidity fluctuations. This plan also should discuss any financial safeguards to offset
unexpected costs and remain well capitalized.
Periodically, the institution should update this section, especially as the institution becomes more complex and as
industry conditions change.

OCC OMB 1557-0014, Expiration 01/31/2021

Projected Balance Sheet (Schedule RC)
Projected Income Statement (Schedule RI)
Regulatory Capital Schedule (Schedule RI-A)
The financial statements should be presented in two ways: (1) showing the dollar amounts, and (2) as a percentage
of total assets.
1) Describe in detail all of the assumptions used to prepare the projected statements, including the assumed
interest rate scenario for each interest earning asset and interest costing liability over the term of the
business plan. Also present a thorough justification to support proposed capital, including any branch
expansion and off-balance-sheet activities contemplated.
2) Provide the basis for the assumptions used for noninterest income and noninterest expense. Indicate the
amount of lease expense, capital improvements, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment, including systems
and equipment upgrades.
3) Describe the assumptions for the start-up costs, volumes, expected returns, and expected time frame to
introduce each new product and service.
B. Discuss how the institution used marketing studies or surveys to support the institution’s projected growth.
C. Discuss the level of marketing expenses necessary to achieve the projected market share for both loan and
deposit products. Assumptions should be consistent with those experienced by other institutions in the target
market. Explain any significant variances between the assumptions in the target market.
D. Provide a sensitivity analysis of the financial projections. A sensitivity analysis provides a realistic stress test of
the major underlying assumptions used in the business plan and the resultant financial projections. For
example, adjust the financials to reflect the effects of adverse changes in the interest rate environment, changes
in the asset/liability mix, higher than expected operating expenses, marketing costs, and/or growth rates.
