ICBA Bancard Rebrands to ICBA Payments

Nov. 14, 2023

Name Change Reflects Growth, Emphasis on Community Bank Payment Innovation

Washington, D.C. (Nov. 14, 2023)—ICBA Bancard, the payments subsidiary of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), today unveiled its new brand—ICBA Payments. The name change reflects its expanded offerings beyond card services and a broader focus on the larger payments landscape. ICBA Payments’ subsidiary and credit card bank, TCM Bank, N. A., is also part of the rebranding—launching a new logo, which aligns with the bank’s continued investments and improvements in technology to support its agent banks.

“As we evolved from a card-focused company to embrace a wide spectrum of payments offerings, changing our name to reflect this expansive growth and differentiation allows us to step forward with our innovative vision,” ICBA Payments President and CEO Tina Giorgio said. “ICBA Payments is more than a name change; it's symbolic of our commitment to deliver outsized value for the benefit of community banks and the customers they serve.”

The ICBA Payments rebrand provides an opportunity to reinforce its commitment to helping community banks navigate and capitalize on payments developments as the industry evolves. ICBA Payments offers:

· Unparalleled insights and support through data-driven consultations to help community banks enrich their payments offerings and manage risk.

· Payments education and thought leadership to help community banks formulate and execute their payments strategies and maximize portfolio potential.

· Industry representation to expand the community bank sphere of influence in the development, enhancement, and implementation of payments products and services.

“ICBA has always recognized the importance of flexibility and choice when it comes to serving customers’ diverse payment needs,” Giorgio said. “ICBA Payments will continue to help power the potential of ICBA members through payments-related innovation and education to help community banks stand out and thrive in today’s multifaceted payments ecosystem.”

The ICBA Payments and TCM Bank rebrand follow ICBA’s rebrand earlier this month, which represents the continued differentiation, evolution, and strength of ICBA and community banking.
