a bank service corporation.
``(b) If stock in a bank service corporation has been held by two
banks, and one of such banks ceases to utilize the services of the
corporation and ceases to hold stock in it, and leaves the other as the
sole stockholding bank, the corporation may nevertheless continue to
function as such and the other bank may continue to hold stock in it.''
