New Eco-Friendly Corporate Headquarters

IFB Headquarters are under construction and coming soon. Our new green headquarters are a symbol of a growing community -- a community we have shared with for over fifty years, who we have grown with, and which has helped us grow. Located in the true heart of Miami, just minutes away from the core of Miami's Financial District, IFB Bank looks forward to welcoming its customers and clients when the doors open in early 2012.

Our new headquarters, rising strong, is also a symbol of our strength. Despite the economic downturn of recent years, IFB has continued to stay steady and move upward towards creating jobs in the community and trust among its clients. We are also proud to boast an eco-friendly construction site and building.

From foundation to roof, we are going green, all the way, believing not only in our fiscal responsibility but also in our responsibility to a better, cleaner world.
