WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The New York Department of Financial Services on Wednesday approved Goldman Sachs Group Inc (>> Goldman Sachs Group Inc) acquisition of GE Capital Bank's U.S. online deposits.

The Federal Reserve earlier this week gave permission for the $17 billion deal which gives Goldman control of around $95 billion in deposits through its GS Bank unit.

With approval from the Federal Reserve and New York, the transaction needs support of Utah regulators.
