To be considered for the Five*Star Award, an IBAT associate member earns engagement points—gained through participation in IBAT and industry related events. IBAT member banks then vote on those in the top 10 percent of each category to determine the winners. Criteria used to determine the winners include service excellence, human relationships, integrity, commitment to the community banking industry and exceptional value to the banks they serve.
