(4) Membership in the corporation, which shall be limited, except as otherwise expressly provided, to financial institutions, approved for membership by the directors of the corporation upon recommendation of the Department of Banking and Finance of this state, hereinafter referred to as the "department"; and

(2) The general character and fitness of the petitioners;
(3) The economic advisability of establishing the proposed corporation; and
(4) Whether such corporation would cause undue harm to a corporation already existent under this chapter.
