(a) Credit card institutions created by or under this Code shall hereafter amend their charters or certificates of incorporation by and under this section.
(b) Any credit card institution created under this chapter may, from time to time, when and as desired, amend its charter or certificate of incorporation by addition to its corporate powers and purposes, or diminution thereof, or both (provided such additional corporate power or purpose be such as is authorized or contemplated under any of the provisions of this chapter); or by increasing or decreasing its authorized capital stock (provided that such increase or decrease be expressly approved by the State Bank Commissioner); by changing the number or par value of its shares of stock; or by changing its corporate title (provided that the words “savings” or “trust” shall not be used in the amended title); and by increasing or decreasing its number of directors (provided that in no case shall the whole number of directors be less than 5). Any or all such changes or alterations may be effected by 1 certificate of amendment.

No certificate of amendment shall be received or filed by the Secretary of State or be deemed or held to be effective unless and until the proposed certificate of amendment shall have been submitted to the State Bank Commissioner and shall have been approved both in substance and in form by said Commissioner.
(d) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this section, a credit card institution created under this chapter may adopt such amendments to its certificate of incorporation as are necessary to permit such credit card institution to comply with the provisions governing the conversion of a credit card institution charter pursuant to § 793 of this title.
