Central Bank of the Midwest

The Central Bank of the Midwest was established on May 20, 1985, as the First National Bank in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Over the years, it underwent a series of name changes, with a significant rebranding to Central Bank of the Midwest occurring on November 15, 2014. The bank actively expanded through acquisitions, including notable transactions such as the purchase of First State Bank of Missouri in 1995, American Sterling Bank in 2009, and Heartland Bank in 2012 as part of a government-assisted merger. In subsequent years, Central Bank of the Midwest continued its growth strategy by acquiring various financial institutions, including Platte Valley Bank of Missouri in 2020 and BankLiberty in 2019. The main office was relocated multiple times, with a significant move to 609 North 291 Highway in Lees Summit, Missouri, in April 2009. On October 1, 2021, Central Bank of the Midwest merged into The Central Trust Bank, marking the end of its independent operations.
