N.D. Cent. Code § 6-03-52

No banking association may borrow money, rediscount paper with recourse on it, or pledge securities for money borrowed or rediscounted paper, except in accordance with express authority conferred by resolution of its board of directors indicating the officer or officers who are authorized to borrow, rediscount, and pledge and the extent of their authority. Every such resolution must be entered in the minute book of the association, but a copy of such resolution certified as such by an officer of the association, authenticated by the seal of the association and accepted and acted upon by another bank or other lender in good faith is conclusive evidence of the existence and terms of the resolution.
