ICB Services

It can be hard for independent banks to compete effectively in the credit card market. That’s why ICBS offers bank-branded credit cards to our customers. With help from the ICBS staff, even the smallest of banks can offer a credit card program. All participating member banks share in the costs—and because of their combined number of cards, they receive of a higher tier of interchange than if they operated alone.
Offering credit cards enables your bank to best serve your customers’ needs and to enhance the value of your current product offerings.

The ICBS Credit Card Program gives your bank the opportunity to offer Visa credit cards at an affordable price—with customizable options. As the Issuer, your bank owns the receivables, which enables you to decide what type of pricing you’d like to offer your customers, and pick the options which best suit your bank’s needs.

If your bank does not currently offer credit cards, we can help you start a Visa card program with minimum entry costs. If your bank already offers credit cards, we can also facilitate a conversion from another processor, through a different program.
