Welcome!
If you are a new IBAT Associate Member, we are pleased to welcome you to the IBAT family! If you’ve been with IBAT for a while, we are so excited you’re here.
Below you will find information and tools that will help make your membership experience not only worthwhile, but unmatched. Your membership and support are of supreme importance to us. Please let the team know how we can serve you.
Getting Started
MANAGE
Company administrators (set up by Darlene Revers) can access the company’s account, update the company description, profile information, team roster, review product categories and view company engagement. Log in with your personal credentials to get started.
CONNECT
As an IBAT Associate Member, you have on-demand access to a full list of IBAT banks. The list is updated in real-time, so your company administrators (contact Darlene Revers for information) can retrieve a current list of IBAT member bankers, day or night, by accessing the company’s profile. Log in.
Connect with the Advisory Council to enhance your associate membership experience.

NEXT STEPS
In 2021, IBAT introduced the IBAT Peer Review Provider program to its associate members, allowing them to take advantage of the IBAT due diligence process and add a vetted mark of distinction for products and services offered to IBAT-member community banks. Peer Review will help bankers identify business solutions by providing immediate feedback on the considered product or service from fellow bankers.

SUPPORT THE INDUSTRY
The IBAT Political Action Committee (PAC) is the only state PAC exclusively committed to representing the interests of community bankers. IBAT’s FedPAC was created to give community bankers a voice not only in Austin, but also in Washington, D.C. IBAT associate members are encouraged to do their part to support the industry by hosting PAC drives in their companies, or consider making an online donation.
Please note that all PAC contributions must be made by personal check or credit card.
