Revolutionary Ways Land IB in the Top 10 in the Nation

Can doing the right, fair and honest thing for your customers, shareholders, employees and communities parlay into a nice return to investors?  At Independence Bank there are 232 revolutionaries that work at the bank and believe in an Old Banking Formula that has proven two years running that it is more than possible.  ABA Banking Journal announced in its June 2010 issue that Independence Bank has been named  one of the Nation's Top 10 Performing Banks (page 36) in the  >$100 million <$3 billion category. IB placed #8 this year, bettering last year's #11 finish.

The Revolutionary Rider Commercial

I am excited to share the Independence Bank Revolutionary Rider commercial that was filmed in Bowling Green, KY in March.

A Revolutionary Rider

Listen, and you shall hear ... ... about a fake Paul Revere riding through BG for a commercial TV shoot

By JUSTIN STORY, The Daily News "Paul Revere arrived in Bowling Green on Thursday, but instead of a midnight ride, he went on an afternoon jaunt that shut down parts of downtown.
