2025 Five*Star Award Winners Announced by the Independent Bankers Association of Texas

June 13, 2025

The Independent Bankers Association of Texas (IBAT) has announced this year’s recipients of its coveted Five*Star Award: Advantage Health Plans Trust (tier 1), IntraFi (tier 2) and SHAZAM (tier 3). These three IBAT associate members—based on company size—will be honored during the association’s 2025 IBAT Connecting Leaders Conference, June 26–28 at the Moody Gardens Hotel in Galveston.

Since 2002, IBAT’s Five*Star Award has recognized associate members that routinely provide excellent service and innovative solutions to help community banks grow, enhance profits and gain efficiency. One award is given in each of three categories, which are based on the number of employees.

To be in consideration for the Five*Star Award, an IBAT associate member earns engagement points gained through participation in IBAT and industry-related events. IBAT member banks then vote to determine the winner in each category. Criteria used to determine this year’s winners include service excellence, human relationships, integrity, commitment to the community banking industry and exceptional value to the banks they serve.

Listed below are the 2025 Five*Star Award finalists in three tiers according to company size, with the winners in boldface:

  • Tier 1: Advantage Health Plans Trust, CollateralEdge, Community Capital Technology Inc., CP Insurance Associates and Ironcore Inc..
  • Tier 2: IntraFi, Data Business Equipment Inc., DCI (Data Center Inc.), Purple Wave Auction and Whitley Penn LLP.
  • Tier 3: SHAZAM, CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen LLP), Eide Bailly LLP and RSM US LLP.

Formed in 1974, IBAT represents Texas community banks. The Austin-based group is the largest state community banking organization in the nation, with membership comprised of more than 4,600 banks and branches in 700 Texas communities.
