<p align=center><font size=2>INTERNATIONAL BANCSHARES CORPORATION ANNOUNCES<br>
CASH DIVIDEND</font></p>

<p><font size=2>LAREDO, TX, &nbsp;&nbsp;.....August 27, 2001..... International Bancshares Corporation
(&quot;IBC&quot;) today announced that on August 23, 2001, the Board of
Directors approved the declaration of a forty-cents (.40) per share cash
dividend, for shareholders of record as of September 28, 2001, payable on
October 15, 2001.&nbsp;&nbsp; The dividend just
announced is payable on shares after the effect of the 25% stock dividend
distributed on June 15, 2001.</font></p>

<p><font size=2>&#147;This cash dividend
was made possible because of the strong performance of IBC, &#147;&nbsp; said Dennis E. Nixon, Chairman of the Board
and CEO of IBC.&nbsp; &#147;It is the inclination
of the Board to continue to declare these cash dividends, but any declaration
of future cash dividends will depend upon IBC&#146;s financial position, acquisition
opportunities and general business conditions at the time.&#148;</font></p>

<p><font size=2>On August 7, 2001, the
company reported earnings for the first six months of 2001.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net income and earnings per share for the
first six months of 2001 were $41.5 million or&nbsp;
$1.56 per share-basic ($1.54 per share diluted) compared to $40.3
million or $1.50 per share basic ($1.49 per share-diluted) in the corresponding
2000 period.&nbsp; The per share data is
fully adjusted for stock dividends, the most recent of which was a 25% stock dividend
declared on May 17, 2001.&nbsp; Total assets
at June 30, 2001 were $5.9 billion compared to $5.6 billion at June 30, 2000.</font></p>

<p><font size=2>IBC (NASDAQ: IBOC) is
a $5.9 billion multi-bank holding company headquartered in Laredo, Texas, with
over 100 facilities and 210 ATM&#146;s serving 30 communities including Houston, San
Antonio, Corpus Christi, McAllen, Brownsville, Port Lavaca, Zapata and
throughout the Rio Grande Valley and the Texas Gulf Coast.</font></p>

statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: The
statements contained in this release which are not historical facts contain
forward looking information with respect to plans, projections or future
