| | Industrial loan company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | An industrial loan company (ILC) or industrial bank is a financial institution in the United States that lends money, and may be owned by non-financial institutions. |
 | | Though the bank itself would be heavily examined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and state regulators, a debate exists to allow parent companies such as Wal-Mart, which would remain unregulated by the financial regulators, to own such a bank. |
 | | They are currently chartered by seven states, of which Utah and California have the most, other states permitting them include Colorado, Minnesota, Indiana, Hawaii, and Nevada. |
