Answer:

State.

Explanation:

About two-thirds of all U.S. commercial banks are chartered by the state in which they are based.The banks are called state banks.

A state bank can be defined as any bank that receives or got its charter from a state government but not the federal government of the United States of America. In the United States of America, a state bank reserves the right to either be a member of the Federal Reserve System ("The Fed") or not and as such, can only do business within the state and be regulated by the state where it is operating.

Some examples of state banks in the United States of America are California Bank of Commerce, CalPrivate Bank, United Pacific Bank, Citizens Business Bank etc.
