INB, N.A. Enters Florida Commercial Banking Market

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- INB, N.A. announces its strategic partnership and entry into the Florida commercial banking market. INB has partnered with a team of well-known, well-rounded bankers who have extensive experience in multiple business sectors across Florida.

INB's Florida Market CEO Allen Brinkman says, "Long-term relationships were instrumental in our entry into the Florida market. We have several board members located in Florida who are significant shareholders of INB."

INB CEO and President Sarah Phalen says, "Everything just fell into place.  It was an organic and philosophical conversation at the beginning. As a result, it didn't take long for our Florida team and INB to recognize that we share a common objective to provide service to the client that is customized, professional, and timely."

Brinkman says, "Choosing INB as a partner was an easy decision. When you and your clients are aligned with similar goals and objectives, and you juxtapose that with an institution that is not aligned, you act. This is why our team came together. INB provides a solution to that disconnect."
