"Bank" shall include "main office" and any "branch office," unless the context indicates that it does not.

(2) "Bank holding company" means "bank holding company" as defined in Code Section 7-1-605.

(3) "Banking office" or "banking location" means either a main office or a branch office.

(4) "Banking services" shall include all those offerings or services resulting from the exercise of banking powers as granted to banks in this title or by other applicable federal or state law or regulation.

(5) "Branch office" means any location of a bank other than the main office where banking services are offered to the public. It does not include a representative office as defined in Code Section 7-1-590 or a bank extension as defined in Code Section 7-1-603. The department may provide by regulation that certain other activities do or do not constitute the formation of a branch office.
