, McFadden Act early 20's and 30's hey I know u have a national charter but u have to pay attention to at least 1 thing
that the state regulators are doing. Some state charters says we will not allow any
branches. Because you had to pay attention to at least 1 state charter rule this
made a lot of small banks. The whole rational behind this act was that the big
banks would run the small banks out of business and this will hurt small
communities. But essential this says competition was bad but were going to
eliminate all competition. But this also says banks who are run really well wont be
able to grow like they should. This hurt the banking system. This made the small

produce something similar for a smaller price
