IBOC

International Bancshares Corporation

A bank holding company headquartered in Laredo, Texas, that runs a network of community banks serving towns across Texas and Oklahoma — one of the largest Hispanic-owned banking groups in the United States. It was founded in 1966 as the International Bank of Commerce, named for its mission of being a financial bridge for goods and capital moving across the U.S.-Mexico border, offering fast, bilingual service to cross-border trade. The "International" in its name celebrates that border-spanning role rather than any global reach.
