As part of the deal, Gibraltar Private Bank & Trust president and CEO Angel Medina, Jr. will join IBERIABANK as executive vice president and director of private client services.
IBERIABANK president and CEO Daryl Byrd said: “We welcome the clients, associates, and shareholders of Gibraltar Private Bank & Trust to the IBERIABANK family. We have known Angel and the Gibraltar team for quite a while and are thrilled to join forces, providing a first class banking experience for all of our clients.”
The deal, first announced in October last year, takes IBERIABANK’s total assets to around $29.5bn.

“The acquisition of Gibraltar is the culmination of a lot of hard work by both institutions and solidifies our presence in the strategically important South Florida market,” Byrd said.
