Bank director. A director of a national bank or of a state bank. The title of the corresponding
officer of a savings bank is trustee. It is a common practise to speak of a director of a trust
company as a bank director.

The directors of a bank, like other agents, are bound to use reasonable care and diligence in
protecting the interests confided to them. For a loss which is suffered despite such care they are
not liable; but for any loss caused by negligence they are liable. Also see Director.
