Section 74
SEC. 74. No bank or banking institution shall enter, directly or indirectly, into any contract of guaranty or suretyship, or shall guarantee the interest or principal of any obligation of any person, co-partnership, association, corporation or other entity. The provisions of this section shall, however, not be held to apply to the borrowing of money by any such bank or institution through the rediscounting of its receivables, or otherwise, as may be permitted by law, nor to the granting or guaranteeing of acceptance credits in the ordinary course of its business. Nor shall the provisions of this section apply to the certification of checks or to transactions involving the release of documents attached to items received for collection, nor to any other transaction which may properly be regarded as common usage and accepted banking practice.
