The ICBSD has an exciting new benefit available to bank members thanks to IFAM Capital. During the 2022 ICBSD Black Hills Retreat, the IFAM Capital team will be presenting on this exclusive new member benefit!

Presentation Synopsis: 401k Plans: The ICBSD Advantage

With an eye towards small businesses, the SECURE Act allows for separate businesses to participate in one retirement plan.  This has several advantages including the ability to band together for pricing power from a plan perspective.  In a prior form, Multiple Employer Plans (MEPs) provided pricing benefits but came with significant drawbacks including the inability to customize the plan from one company to another. Come and learn about this great new benefit available to you through ICBSD.
