IBERIABANK was an FDIC-insured institution regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. On March 31, 2009, as the 2007–2008 financial crisis came to an end, IberiaBank became the first financial institution in the country to repay its TARP funds to the Treasury.

In November 2019, IBERIABANK Corporation and Memphis, Tennessee-based First Horizon Corporation agreed to merge. The combined bank is based in Memphis and uses the First Horizon name. The merger closed July 2, 2020.

History

Foundations

The bank opened its doors on March 12, 1887, as a savings and loan association under the name Iberia Building Association. [4] The name originates from New Iberia, Louisiana, which dates back to 1779 when Spanish colonists named their newly settled "Nueva Iberia" after the Iberian Peninsula.[ citation needed ] At the time the bank was founded, New Iberia was a farming community of about 3,000 people. Its principal industry was sugarcane farming, as the area's oil reserves, which would later spur population and economic growth, had yet to be discovered. [5]

For its first 100 years, the bank's main functions were taking deposits and making home mortgage loans in the New Iberia community. [6]

In 1956, Iberia Building Association changed its name to Iberia Savings & Loan (ISLA). Since savings and loan associations, or "thrifts," could not lend to businesses, ISLA was not affected by the oil crisis in the early 1980s like many Louisiana commercial banks were. [4]

After regulations preventing thrifts from expanding eased in 1985, the bank absorbed several struggling thrifts during the 1980s oil glut. Branches opened in Morgan City and Franklin, Louisiana, moving the thrift beyond Iberia Parish for the first time. ISLA became Iberia Savings Bank (ISB) in 1988, and expansion continued the following year into Lafayette, Louisiana with the acquisition of Acadia Savings & Loan. [6]

Additional regulatory changes in the early 1990s permitted Louisiana savings and loan associations to become state-chartered commercial banks. [4] Bank President Larrey Mouton prepared the company for this transition by forming the holding company ISB Financial Corporation and releasing an IPO on April 13, 1995. [7]

In 1999, former Bank One executive Daryl Byrd took over as CEO, ushering in a period of rapid growth for the bank. With its new name IBERIABANK Corporation, the company would grow to acquire 24 banks since 2001. [8]

When Hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast in 2005, IberiaBank incurred hurricane-related expenses including loan losses associated with the storm, facility repairs and insurance deductible payments. Being a bank solely based in Louisiana, the organization decided to diversify its geographic footprint in the years following the storm to minimize risk. [9] The bank expanded beyond Louisiana for the first time in 2007 with the purchase of Arkansas –based Pulaski Bank and Trust. [10]

Spring of 2008 began a period of rapid growth fueled by accumulating the assets of failed banks in the aftermath of the 2007–2008 financial crisis. It began with the assumption of insured deposits from Arkansas-based ANB Financial, the third FDIC-insured bank to fail in 2008. [11] The following year, IberiaBank assumed the assets and branches of Birmingham-based CapitalSouth, Orion Bank of Florida, and Century Bank of Florida. Its fifth and final FDIC-assisted transaction occurred late 2009 with the purchase of East Florida's Sterling Bank. [12]

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a United States government corporation supplying deposit insurance to depositors in American commercial banks and savings banks. The FDIC was created by the Banking Act of 1933, enacted during the Great Depression to restore trust in the American banking system. More than one-third of banks failed in the years before the FDIC's creation, and bank runs were common. The insurance limit was initially US$2,500 per ownership category, and this has been increased several times over the years. Since the enactment of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010, the FDIC insures deposits in member banks up to $250,000 per ownership category. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the government of the United States, and according to the FDIC, "since its start in 1933 no depositor has ever lost a penny of FDIC-insured funds".
