N.Y. Banking Law § 239-a: Preservation of books and records

§ 239-a. Preservation of books and records. Every savings bank 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 saving banks as fiduciary shall be preserved in original form.
