N.Y. Banking Law § 128: Preservation of books and records

§ 128. Preservation of books and records. Every bank and every trust

company shall preserve all its records of final entry, including cards

used under the card system and deposit tickets, for a period of at least

six years from the date of making the same or from the date of the last

entry thereon; provided, however, that preservation of photographic

reproductions thereof or records in photographic form shall constitute

compliance with the requirements of this section. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, the superintendent of financial services may prescribe by

regulation such period of time longer or shorter than six years during

which all records kept by banks and trust companies as fiduciary shall

be preserved in original form.
