If you’ve recently noticed your bank has changed names—or disappeared altogether—you’re not alone. Over the past few years, several banks in the Kansas City area have been sold to larger institutions. And if it felt like it happened overnight, that’s because it often does.
Can you believe it?
We can.
It’s becoming all too common.
But at Cornerstone Bank, we’re not going anywhere. We’re committed to being a steady presence for our customers and our community—for the long haul.
What Happens When a Bank Gets Bought?
When a bank is acquired by a larger institution, the changes ripple out fast. You might see:
- New leadership
- A new name and brand
- New policies and procedures
- Different online banking platforms
- Unexpected changes to fees, account terms, or loan servicing
- For many customers, it can feel like their familiar bank has suddenly become unrecognizable.
Why Work With a Community Bank?
That’s exactly why you should consider switching to a local, independent bank like Cornerstone.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- Stability You Can Count On
- No surprise mergers. No disappearing branches. Just reliable banking from people you know.
- Real Relationships
- We don’t just know your account number—we know your name, your business, and your goals.
- Local Decisions, Fast Turnaround
- Whether it’s a loan for your growing business or a new home, decisions happen here, not at a corporate office out of state.
- A Community-First Mentality
- We reinvest in the neighborhoods we serve by supporting local businesses, helping families thrive, and offering personalized financial solutions.
We love this community. And we love helping the people in it—whether it’s opening a business account, guiding you through your first mortgage, or securing a commercial loan to help your dream take off.
