When considering the impact of a proposed action or transaction on the convenience and needs of the community to be served, both of the following shall apply:

(B) The superintendent shall not require the person proposing the action or transaction to prove any of the following:

(1) There is substantial unmet need for banking services in the community.

(2) The person will bring banking services or other particular advantages to the community that are not presently available there.
