As Mayor of the City of Evansville, and a participant in the May closing of the 2020 Advance Funding Midyear Program, I would like to thank the Indiana Bond Bank for the quality service that they provided to the city.  In a time of uncertainty for local units of government, education and small business, having the IBB as a trusted source of cashflow stability at an attractive, all-inclusive rate, gave our team at the city one less obstacle to overcome. The IBB team made the process easy for our city and I highly recommend this program to other units of government facing uncertainty in cashflow projections and timing of property tax collections.

As a new school business manager, I learned early that the Indiana Bond Bank was a valuable partner for our school district. Everyone I have worked with at IBB has been helpful and gracious in securing Tax Warrant funding for Baugo. IBB has made my job easier and worked with us to accomplish our financial goals.
