These services include checking and savings accounts, lending, insurance, mortgages, investments, and more, through its 166 facilities and 256 ATMs.
Financial Highlights and Operational Challenges
The first quarter of 2024 saw a positive impact from an increase in interest income, attributable to growth in the size of IBOC's investment and loan portfolios and recent Federal Reserve rate hikes. However, this was offset by a rise in interest expenses, particularly due to higher rates paid on deposits as the bank adjusted to remain competitive in a shifting economic landscape. Additionally, the net income was adversely affected by an increase in the provision for credit losses, linked to a charge-down of an impaired credit following a bankruptcy-related foreclosure.
Despite these challenges, IBOC's total assets increased to $15.4 billion as of March 31, 2024, up from $15.1 billion at the end of 2023. Total net loans also saw a slight increase from $7.9 billion to $8.0 billion in the same period, and deposits grew from $11.8 billion to $12.0 billion.
