Credit Card

The ICBND credit card program is administered by ICBND on behalf of Independent Community Bank Services, Inc. The Independent Community Bank Services, Inc. was formed in August, 1989 as a bank service corporation for the Independent Community Banks. Until then, independent banks could not compete effectively in the credit card market. We provide participating banks with a comprehensive menu of cutting-edge products that make running a card program easy.

The credit card program allows your bank to have its own Visa/MasterCard card or merchant program. As the issuer, you manage the portfolio and drive the program. Credit decisions, rates and fees are determined by you. You hold your own receivables. All ICBS, Inc. credit card member banks share in the expenses, which keeps the program expenses down for everyone. This program, along with IBAA Bancard program, offers:

bulletTurnkey marketing support
bullet Specialized training seminars and an industry conference designed to address the unique needs of community banks
bulletBancard Confidential, an exclusive bimonthly newsletter that addresses the marketing and operational aspects of running an efficient credit card program
bulletThe only fraud loss protection program in the card industry for lost, stolen and counterfeit credit cards
bulletCardholder benefits like reward programs, shopping discounts and emergency services to distinguish your bank's credit card from the competition
bulletOptional cardholder loyalty marketing program to attract and retain your cardholders

Currently we have forty-nine banks in North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota issuing credit cards through our credit card program. This represents 20,000 Visa/MasterCard holders in the Dakotas and Minnesota! No matter what size your bank is you can have a profitable credit card program.
