About the Company:
IncredibleBank first started in 1967 as River Valley Bank with a single location in Rothschild, WI. And we may have strong roots in community banking, but IncredibleBank wasn't awarded as one of America's Most Innovative Banks by the Independent Community Bankers of America for our popcorn Fridays. Though we do love free popcorn...
We strive to stay on the leading edge of banking technology with the goal providing the best, simplest way for our customers across the country to do their banking. But if our customers need us, they can pick up the phone and talk to a real person. And that's what makes us America's first national online community bank. And who doesn't love the idea of a national community?
Today, IncredibleBank is a $2.0 billion-asset institution that has grown to 17 brick-and-mortar locations with customers in all 50 states. But we know that as an employer, it's less about size than it is about culture. That's why we're especially proud to have been certified as a Great Place to Work.
