IBB is member owned, with client institutions in the primary states of Florida, Georgia and Alabama.  Using the collective demand and volumes of our members, we are able to achieve economies of scale that lowers the cost of payment services while returning credit participation support, investment expertise, audit / compliance review and general market insights to our member – owners.

weekly economic
commentary 5/14/12

After a relentless stream of disappointing reports, it’s nice to receive a dollop of good news for a change. Make no mistake; nothing that came out of Washington’s data mills this week can be considered a game-changer. But at least the negativity that has been overhanging the economic landscape in recent weeks has been lifted a bit, offering a kernel of hope for optimists who believe that the softness portrayed in some key indicators is nothing more than a temporary blip on the road to better times. To be sure, we are not factoring in the European debt quagmire, which seems to sink into deeper quicksand with each passing day and is no doubt playing havoc with investor psychology. If the new Greek government, whenever it is formed and whatever shape it takes, continues to play chicken with Europe’s policy makers, dominated by Germany, and is willing to rupture the single-currency union to achieve debt relief, then all bets are off.
