N.M. Stat. § 58-15-6
Contents and posting of license; limitation of authority
granted by license; effective date of license; minimum assets.
A. Each license shall state the address at which the business is to be conducted
and shall state fully the name of the licensee if an individual, and if a corporation the
name, date and place of incorporation, and if a copartnership, trust or association or
other legal entity, the names of all the copartners and all the members and beneficiaries
thereof, and the trade name under which the licensee may desire to conduct such
business. Each license shall be kept conspicuously posted in the licensed place of
business and shall not be transferable or assignable.
B. No licensee hereunder, except a national or state banking corporation, shall use
the words "bank", "banker" or "banking" in its name or refer to itself as a bank or banker
in any of its advertising.
No licensee hereunder, except a national or state banking corporation, shall accept
deposits or issue certificates of deposit, provided, however, that the foregoing
prohibition shall not limit the right of any licensee to borrow money or to issue notes,
bonds, debentures or similar evidences of indebtedness labeled as such for the purpose
of obtaining capital for use in its business.
Except as a stockholder in a licensed corporation, no person whose name does not
specifically appear on the face of the license shall have or hold any interest direct or
otherwise in any license and shall not be deemed a licensee hereunder.
C. Each license shall remain in full force until June 30 next following its date of
issue, unless sooner surrendered, revoked or suspended as herein provided, but shall
expire and terminate on June 30 following its issue unless renewed and reissued as
herein provided. Such license shall entitle the person or persons whose names appear
on the face of the license, and no others, to enjoy and exercise the revocable privileges
and immunities provided for in the New Mexico Small Loan Act of 1955, but only in the
manner and subject to the restrictions herein provided for.
D. Every licensee shall maintain at all times cash or its equivalent, convertible
securities or receivables of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000), or any combination
thereof, as set forth in Subsection B of Section 58-15-5 NMSA 1978.
