Founded in 1966, the Institute is the only national association devoted exclusively to representing and advancing the interests of the international banking community in the United States. Its membership is comprised of internationally headquartered bankingfinancial institutions from over 30 countries around the world. Collectively, the U.S. branches, agencies, banking subsidiaries, securities affiliates and other operations of the Institutes member banks are an important source of credit for U.S. borrowers and enhance the depth and liquidity of U.S. financial markets. Institute member banks also inject billions of dollars each year into the economies of major cities across the country through the direct employment of over 100,000 U.S. citizens and permanent residents, as well as through other operating and capital expenditures. As the representative of the international banking community in the United States, the Institute is able to achieve goals that often would be impossible or prohibitively expensive for any one bank or a small group of banks to accomplish. Through frequent testimony, comment letters, briefings and informal discussions, the Institute advocates the interests of international banks on pending legislative and regulatory issues before such governmental bodies as the House and Senate Banking Committees, the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, state banking departments, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Securities and Exchange Commission. From regulatory burden relief to major tax issues that affect member banks of every size, the Institutes resultsoriented focus is on solving the various problems that confront the international banking community in the U.S.
