state banks
Chartered local institutions
State banks are financial institutions chartered and regulated by individual U.S. states rather than the federal government.
They operate under state banking laws and supervision, distinguishing them from national banks, which hold federal charters.
Historically, state banks dominated American banking before the Civil War; today they remain common, often serving local and regional markets: Many community banks are state-chartered.
