| In most people's minds, a bank
is a building that holds money. In addition to the brick and mortar, the
component of a bank that directly affects the strength of the bank is.its
people. We pride ourselves on our personalized service and ability to look
beyond the numbers and see the people and potential within.
Premier Bank dates to 1979 and has a rich tradition of professional service to
area residents and local business organizations. Based in Lenexa, Kansas, the
Bank has grown to become one of the most personable, community-oriented banks
in the Kansas City Metropolitan area. With assets totaling $165 million,
Premier Bank serves the financial needs of over 14,000 customers through its
four branch locations in Lenexa, Overland Park and North Kansas City.
Originally founded as Country Hill Bank, the bank was purchased in 1994 by
Donald Sturm of the Sturm Financial Group, Inc. in Denver, Colorado and became
Premier Bank. Expansion opportunities under new ownership have included
branching into Overland Park and most recently into the State of Missouri. Mr.
Sturm currently owns a network of locally managed community banks which enables
Premier Bank to provide the Kansas City community with innovative, high-tech
services, but with a human touch.
As a community bank, we are able to respond quickly to our customers through
local decision-making and to tailor products and services to meet their needs.
This responsive approach provides us with a competitive advantage over many of
the larger financial institutions in the Kansas City Metropolitan area.
The bank strives to provide the breadth of products typical of a large
institution, with the competent, yet personal service associated with a
community bank. Premier Bank offers a variety of products suited to meet
customers' personal and business financial needs. From checking accounts, first
mortgage financing, home equity loans; to cash management tools, commercial and
residential construction loans.
