Cease and Desist Issued to PayServices.
Friday October 18, 2024The Idaho Department of Finance (Department) issued an order to Cease and Desist against PayServices, requiring the entity to no longer use the word “bank” in its name in the State of Idaho. Pursuant to Idaho Code § 26-1202, on September 12, 2022, the Director of the Department granted a waiver to PayServices to use the word “bank” in its name in the State of Idaho as the entity had received conditional preliminary approval for a bank charter from the Department. As of October 16, 2024, PayServices failed to meet the requisite conditions of the preliminary approval and therefore the preliminary approval, which was the basis for granting a waiver, has expired and is now terminated.
