We’re getting a new look and a new web address!
In March 2025, our website will have a new look! In addition, it will change from a .net domain to a .bank domain. Our current web address of www.iowastatebank.net will become www.iowastate.bank
What is .bank?
.bank is a top-level domain (TLD) that is only available to verified banking institutions. A TLD is the last segment of text in a domain name, such as .com or .net. TLDs are important because they indicate the type of a website, such as;
- commercial (.com)
- network (.net)
- government (.gov)
- educational (.edu)
- organization (.org)
Similar to .gov, the .bank TLD has a high level of mandated security and must adhere to security requirements developed by the American Bankers Association, its member banks and its partners in FTLD Registry Services.
How is it more secure?
All banks are verfied and authenticated by fTLD, the .bank administrator, prior to registering their .Bank domain, and reverified annually thereafter. This ensures everyone who uses a .Bank domain is an eligible organization. Hackers and bad actors can't get a .bank domain.
What action is needed?
Once the change has been completed in early March, please start using www.iowastate.bank to reach our website and @iowastate.bank when emailing bank staff. Rest assured that your emails to @iowastatebank.net will continue to be delivered, however, it’s best to update your address book to reflect the new domain.
Who do I contact for assistance?
Please contact your local branch.
