(C) A foreign bank licensed to operate a branch may, in addition to conducting all of the permissible activities of a representative office set forth in division (B) of section 1119.06 of the Revised Code and all of the permissible activities of an agency set forth in division (B)(2) of this section, conduct the following activities at or through a licensed branch:

(1) Accepting deposits, the acceptance of which does not constitute engaging in domestic retail deposit activities;
