History of IberiaBank

Iberia bank began its operations in 1887 in a place known as New Iberia in Louisiana. It was then known as Iberia Building Association and it operated as a savings and loan association. The name came from the name Spanish settlers had given to the area when they settled on it, naming it after the Iberian Peninsula.

At the time the bank was founded, there were 3000 people living in the area, majority of whom were farmers. The population and economy would pick up later after the discovery of oil reserves.

In the first 100 years, the bank mainly took deposits and provided mortgages to those living in the area.

In 1956, the institution changed its name to Iberia Savings & Loan (SLA). This meant that it couldn’t lend money to business. This protected it from the oil crisis that affected many of Louisiana’s commercial banks in the 80s.

The bank absorbed some of the institutions that were struggling following the relaxation of rules. It opened new branches in Franklin and Morgan City, LA. This was the first time the bank moved outside the Iberia Parish.

In 1988, the bank changed to Iberia Savings Bank and in 89, it moved into Lafayette after acquiring Acadia Savings and Loan. The bank would become a state chartered commercial bank in the 90s and issued an IPO in 1995.

The bank suffered losses as a result of Hurricane Katrina and this led to expansion of the bank beyond Louisiana’s borders as the bank sought to minimize its risks. The bank would further grow by acquiring the assets of banks that had failed after the 2008 financial crisis.
