Bank of Kansas merger will not affect customers, official says
The Bank of Kansas, 955 Iowa, and Commerce Bancshares Inc., have signed an agreement that will allow the two to merge.
"Our feeling is that a larger bank will be able to bring better products and services to our customers than what we could accomplish independently," said Humbert Tinsman Jr., head of the Bank of Kansas. "The change will actually be transparent from the standpoint of the customer."
Bank of Kansas customers' accounts would not be affected in any way, Thesm said.
The final agreement is expected to be reached by May 1. The deal would then have to be approved by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the state of Kansas, the federal Office of Comptroller and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
