GROWING WITH THE COMMUNITY
In October 2010, Metcalf Bank purchased four branches of First National Bank of Olathe, two in Overland Park and two in Shawnee.
Metcalf Bank purchased American Sterling Bank from the FDIC in April 2009. American Sterling Bank, originally chartered in 1907, was closed by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC was appointed. American Sterling had three locations in Jackson county and $170 Million in assets.

In 2008, Metcalf Bank (Overland Park, KS), First National Bank of Missouri (Lee’s Summit, MO), and First Kansas Bank & Trust Company (Gardner, KS), joined forces to boost their already strong ties within the Kansas City area community and offer their customers access to even more banking solutions and over 20 locations throughout the city.

The First National Bank of Missouri Story
First National Bank of Lee’s Summit became incorporated in February, 1985 with 14 shareholders and $1,500,000 in bank capital. Originally the bank operated out of a trailer until the current three story building was built at 609 N 291 Highway. In 1993 First National Bank of Lee’s Summit became part of the Central Bancompany family.

The Bank of Jacomo Story
Bank of Jacomo became part of Central Bancompany in June of 1999. The bank started business on May 26, 1970. It was chartered as a state bank with $600,000 in capital and 10 shareholders. In July of 2004, First National Bank of Missouri and Bank of Jacomo joined together creating a National Charter under the name of First National Bank of Missouri. The combination of these two banks created a total of ten facilities in Jackson County and over $400 million in assets.

The Metcalf Bank Story
Metcalf Bank was founded in 1962, but its roots can be traced back to 1949, when respected attorney and entrepreneur Joseph Cohen was president of Rosedale State Bank in Kansas City, Kansas. As Kansas City began to expand southward, Joseph Cohen decided to branch out on his own, creating Metcalf State Bank. Eventually, Metcalf State Bank evolved into Metcalf Bank, while remaining true to the philosophy on which it was founded – stable, consistent and hands-on service.

The First Kansas Bank & Trust Story
The Farmers Bank was founded in January, 1895 with 12 stockholders in a wooden building two doors from the hardware store. After building a new bank in 1905 and merging with the Gardner State Bank in 1926, the bank eventually became First Kansas Bank & Trust Company, and is still considered your Hometown Bank.

Better Together
Moving forward, Metcalf Bank will continue to build on the fundamental beliefs of a great bank – delivering local decision-making and an unwavering commitment to the communities we serve, all backed by the strength and resources of a $9 billion holding company, Central Bancompany.
