About ICBA

The Independent Community Bankers of America creates and promotes an environment where community banks flourish. 

About ICBA

"Today was a great day to see the passion that folks have for community banks and how they're relating their technology to help us. We're all trying to find new ways to enhance the customer experience, and I think many of the companies in this year's lineup offer us unique ways to do this - and at a price and deliverable that we can manage as a community bank."

Alice Frazier

President + CEO, Bank of Charles Town

I think it's important for me to understand what technology is coming down the pipeline and try to be the eyes and ears for all those banks that can't be here for whatever reason. I'm looking forward to trying to get as many of those banks introduced to as many of these companies as I can at ICBA live in Orlando.

Jim Amundson

President and CEO, Independent Community Bankers of Minnesota

I enjoyed the companies. I think it was amazing to see all of their new IP. I think it was amazing to see that type of level of innovation that is happening in a market that has so much legacy technology, and it's amazing to see that they are passionate about what they do. It was a lot of fun to be able to interact with people who truly want to be able to help community banks.

Anne Beningsen

Cyber Zen Instructor Bankers Bank of the West

The ICBA ThinkTECH Accelerator is a really a phenomenal way of introducing more technology into the community banking space. The team of companies that have come together both last year and this year are just top notch. And we're really excited about the opportunities to leverage these new technologies to help provide more solutions for our customers and our business clients.

Stephen Wooters

EVP, Marketing, Digital Banking & Payments, Fairfield County Bank

We're trying to evolve, we're trying to innovate and we're trying to keep up, and that's tough on a community banks budget. So it's nice that ICBA is investing in helping build this ecosystem to say, “Hey, here's some of the innovation partners we can help you with.”
