The criteria for institutions apply to applications for branches or relocation of offices. Emphasis shall be placed on the financial history and condition of the applicant institution, rather than upon the financial history and condition of the subject branch or office. An application involving a move of an existing office from the one location to another within the same primary market area is of less significance than a relocation to a different primary market area or the establishment of a new branch.
