We can give them a shot, but most banks will likely need to operate in |
| 10 |
the state we are registered in. You can't conduct business in a state, |
| 11 |
without a business license and other things. I believe that applies to a |
| 12 |
bank as well. Since a bank would be opening an account for a New Mexico |
| 13 |
entity. That would constitute them doing business in New Mexico. |

It's not the same as a customer being remote, and say the account being |
| 16 |
created and existing in Maryland. Otherwise my local bank, or any bank |
| 17 |
really could choose to open a remote account. |

That said it can't hurt to give them a call. But I doubt we can proceed |
| 20 |
with them because of the above. |
