Banking Services
We know you have a lot of options when it comes to local banking in Kansas City. Big banks will make it sound like they have more to offer but without a personal connection. When a bank becomes big enough, the customers become nothing more than account numbers. They won’t recognize your face when you walk into the building or your name over the phone.
At Cornerstone Bank, we pride ourselves on our personal relationships with our customers. We have spent years building products and services that fit your local banking needs in Kansas City.
Personal Banking
When it comes to your banking needs, we know it is personal. Whether you are opening your first account, purchasing a home, getting your kids ready for college, or planning for retirement, you want to know that your bank is your biggest financial advocate. Our primary goal is to provide you with the tools and guidance to ensure the most success possible.
Business Banking
We know how difficult it can be to gain success, as in your business. A lot of things have to go right for a business to grow, and it takes commitment from the founders, employees, and strategic partners. At Cornerstone Bank, we work tirelessly to be the best local bank, not just in Overland Park, but in the entire Kansas City metro area. From cash flow, to payroll, to taxes, we love assisting our customers with the complexities that running a business requires.
Commercial Loans
There is no better partner for commercial business than one that shares the same community. A local bank is going to have a better understanding of the Kansas City area and its needs. They have a much greater vested interest in local success because they truly care about their community. You’ll never just be a loan number when you bank with Cornerstone.

Cornerstone Bank’s History
After spending 15 years in the banking industry passionately serving others’ banking needs, John K. Doull began a new journey. In his time in banking, John saw a need for a local bank in the Kansas City metro area to serve small businesses and the community as a whole by providing a personal touch.
In 2001, John founded Cornerstone Bank with the mission of positively affecting people to achieve their aspirations by serving them first. From the very beginning, this was the most important thing to John, and still is to this day. John formed a team that became like a family. Many members of the team have been with the bank for well over a decade. That’s why it feels like a family when you walk into Cornerstone Bank.
Several years after Cornerstone Bank began, John’s son, John, finished college and joined his father 12 years ago. His passion for helping others matches his father’s. You will find this attitude in every team member when you choose Cornerstone for local banking in Overland Park. Proudly serving the Kansas City metropolitan area.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a local and national bank?
There isn’t as much of a difference in the capabilities between a national and a local bank in the Kansas City metro area when it comes to available services, at least not a good local bank. The actual differences are going to be in the level of personal attention and service that you, the customer, receive from the two types of banks.
At a local community bank like Cornerstone, you are going to receive the utmost personal attention without sacrificing services. A local bank is more invested in the local community.
- What if I need help with my business account on the weekend?
When you open an account with us at Cornerstone Bank, your community banking associate will ensure you have their cell phone number in case you ever have an urgent banking emergency. We know life doesn’t always happen during business hours.
- What can I do about my credit score?
Everyone’s situation is unique, but we’d be happy to meet with you to advise you on your individual situation. Depending on your credit score and other factors, different options will be available to you, and we will work with you to find the best option for your personal needs.
- What are the main qualities to look for in a local bank?
When choosing a local bank in Kansas City, look for,
- Convenience
Find a bank that is close by or has easy access to tools such as online and mobile banking available.
- Personalized service
One of the biggest advantages of a local bank is that you are more than just a number to us. We want to be on a first-name basis with our customers and truly understand each individual’s needs.
- Operational capabilities
As technology advances and time presses forward, every industry continues to develop. This is true for the banking world as well. You need a bank that is going to continue to provide you with the most advanced options possible to suit your banking needs in the Kansas City metro area.
- ATM locations
An important factor for most banking customers is the need for ATM access to withdraw and deposit funds when necessary. Considering fees and location availability are something everyone should be aware of when searching for a bank. At Cornerstone, we provide up to $8 a statement cycle in refunds for fees from ATM withdrawals.
- Do I need to set up online or mobile banking if I bank locally?
There is an enormous advantage to having your bank nearby, for obvious reasons. Even if you’re right down the street, it can be helpful to have online and mobile banking set up. These tools make it easier to monitor your accounts’ activity any time, any day of the week.
Having these options set up also adds security to your account. With online banking, you can set up notifications for when transactions occur, so you are always on top of your accounts’ activity.
