Independent Community Bankers of South Dakota (ICBSD) is the sole association in South Dakota dedicated to advocating for the best interests of community banks and their customers. Governed by a board of directors comprised of independent community bankers, ICBSD represents 67 community banks and 393 branches in the state, with a total deposit of $22.6 billion and over 20,000 full-time employees. Community banks prioritize personalized attention, promoting community growth by channeling loans to local neighborhoods, and fostering emotional and physical attachment to the communities they serve. ICBSD is committed to supporting community banking through its member-driven organization, providing advocacy, education, and networking opportunities for independent community bankers. With a focus on local families, businesses, and farmers, community banks play a vital role in keeping neighborhoods vibrant and growing. Through their involvement in local community affairs, community bankers demonstrate their dedication to the well-being of the communities where their branches are located, setting them apart from larger banks that may lack the same level of emotional and physical attachment.Generated from the website
