IBC Bank Success Story

IBC Bank was founded in 1966 to meet the needs of small businesses in Laredo, Texas. Today, it serves as the flagship bank of International Bancshares Corporation. Since its opening, IBC Bank has grown from less than $1 million in assets to more than $12.2 billion, making it one of Texas' largest holding companies. IBC now serves 90 communities throughout Texas and Oklahoma with 191 branches and more than 289 ATMs providing full service banking seven days a week.

IBC wanted to create a stronger digital presence for it's 191 branches and 289+ ATMs across the state of Texas. They reached out to Milestone to leverage Milestone Local - Milestone's award-winning local search platform - and to work with Milestone's award-winning staff to help ensure that branch and ATM information was accurate and consistent across the entire digital spectrum.
