FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

    INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2000 EARNINGS

LAREDO, Texas---(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 4, 2000--International Bancshares
Corporation (NASDAQ:IBOC) today reported earnings for the second quarter of 2000
of $21.1 million or $1.10 per share - basic ($1.08 per share - diluted) compared
to $16.0 million or $.82 per share - basic ($.80 per share diluted) in the
corresponding 1999 period. Earnings for the first six months of 2000 were $40.3
million or $2.21 per share - basic ($2.18 per share diluted) compared to $31.9
million or $1.71 per share - basic ($1.68 per share diluted) in the
corresponding 1999 period. The per share data is fully adjusted for stock
dividends, the most recent of which was a 25% dividend declared on May 18, 2000.

        Dennis E. Nixon, CEO and chairman of the board, stated that the
Company's second quarter earnings represent a 31% increase over the
corresponding 1999 period. Although our second quarter earnings were favorably
affected by a special Federal Home Loan Bank dividend of $1.2 million, the solid
performance produced this quarter continues to validate the strength and quality
of the Company's earnings.

        "I'm extremely pleased with the results for the second quarter,
especially coming on the heels of a 21% increase in earnings for the first
quarter," he said. "The Company's year to date 2000 performance is 26% ahead of
1999, reflecting very favorably on IBC's commitment to superior earnings." "In
terms of earnings per share, these earnings results translate into a 35%
increase in diluted earnings per share for the second quarter, and a 30%
increase for the first six months, truly demonstrating that IBC is `doing more'
for each shareholder."

        Income before goodwill charges, which excludes the amortization of core
deposit intangibles and goodwill, increased 30% to $21.9 million or $1.14 per
share - basic ($1.12 per share - diluted) for the second quarter of 2000
compared to $16.9 million or $.86 - per share - basic ($.84 per share - diluted)
in the corresponding 1999 period, which resulted in 33% increase in diluted
earnings per share.

        Total assets at June 30, 2000, were $5.6 billion compared to $5.1
billion at June 30, 1999. Total loans at June 30, 2000, were $2.1 billion
compared to $1.7 billion at June 30, 1999. Deposits at June 30, 2000, were $3.6
billion compared to $3.5 billion at June 30, 1999.
