Where to start
These are the situations that bring clients to the Bank most often, with the first step for each. Choose yours. The rest of the website can wait.
Project finance
A permit, an option or a construction window that will not wait. Before anyone discusses structures, answer the ten questions a credit institution asks first. It takes about three minutes, and you will know exactly what is still missing.
Take the Bankability Check →Trade
Buyers and sellers in commodity trade rarely accept paper from a bank they do not know. IFB procures guarantees and SBLCs from correspondent banks rated A-/A3 or better and stands between the issuer and you, secured by your collateral.
Guarantees & SBLCs →Verification
A proof of funds, a bank letter, a SWIFT copy, a guarantee. Forged paper has never been cheaper to produce, and a wire, once sent, is rarely recovered. Have the document examined before the money leaves. Flat fee: EUR 500.
Verify before you wire →Escrow
Property, trade, leases, online sales. The funds rest with the Bank until the agreed conditions are met, and not a day earlier. Neither party has to trust the other, only the contract.
Escrow accounts →Accounts
Onboarding is entirely remote, with no visit to any branch. Once all checks are complete, approval typically follows within two to five business days.
Open an account →Private Banking
Priority and Private Banking clients have one concierge desk, around the clock: a flight rebooked, a specialist found, a school arranged. Private Banking adds the Bank’s security and intelligence service for the family.
Concierge & Security →None of these quite fits? Book a 30-minute video call and describe the situation in your own words.

Document security
Fraudsters routinely circulate letters, guarantees and payment instruments bearing our name. Since July 2026, every outbound IFB document ends with a Document Verification Certificate: a final page carrying a QR code and a 32-character cryptographic reference.
