What International Bancshares does

Texas-based bank focused on South Texas and US-Mexico border trade and commercial finance.

Earns mostly from the gap between interest on loans and on a large securities portfolio and the cost of deposits, much of it from businesses and families in South Texas. Cross-border trade finance with Mexico adds fee income. Laredo, the largest US inland trade port with Mexico, is its home base.
