The superintendent shall give the national bank or federal savings association, out-of-state bank, or state or federally chartered credit union written notice of the decision and, in the event of disapproval, a statement of the reasons for the decision.

The decision of the superintendent shall be subject to judicial review pursuant to chapter 17A.
