With regulations constantly changing, outsourcing this service ensures us and our customers that we will be constantly in compliance without having to continually retrain an ever changing workforce” said Bill Perry, President and Chairman of the Board.

“We pride ourselves in providing superior product innovation to our clients and are very pleased that SFS customers such as Citizens Bank have joined an ever growing group of satisfied IBT customers,” says Mike Golebiowski, President of IBT.
