As we wrap up 2024 and move into 2025, the Indiana Bankers Association is an ideal resource for member banks seeking new products or services for their institution. Our outstanding associate membership consists of nearly 200 companies covering a wide array of opportunities. The IBA has developed Preferred Service Provider relationships with 21 of these companies, allowing us to provide our bank members with top-quality offerings.
These companies are vetted by the IBA to ensure they are qualified, viable products and services, and the board of the IBA Service Corporation regularly reviews all PSP relationships. As a result, we can ensure each PSP is dedicated to serving Indiana banks at the highest level, providing them with the value-added products or services that allow them to remain competitive in today’s challenging market.
While first and foremost helping banks succeed, our PSPs are also deeply committed to the Association and its success. They support the IBA in many areas, including committee involvement, trade show participation, submissions to Hoosier Banker and the Service Provider Showcase e-newsletter, meeting attendance, information resources and so much more. The nondues revenue they provide helps keep IBA bank member dues among the lowest in the nation, plus allows for attractive pricing at IBA conferences and events.
As 2025 approaches, we look forward to continuing to enhance these strong partnerships that help IBA-member banks succeed. As you explore future projects in your plans for the new year, please consider tapping into the expertise of IBA Preferred Service Providers.
