Our Cedar Ranch Estates partners had an idea for a new large lot housing development for Derby. Being a local Derby business, we felt that it was important to partner with a bank with strong ties in our community. CBK has those ties. CBK has been instrumental in Cedar Ranch Estates’ success through competitive commercial loan rates for land purchases and letters of credit. We appreciate CBK’s creative help with our borrowing needs and continued support as Cedar Ranch Estates expands into Phase 2 of our development. We love the local access to CBK and will continue to use their services and expertise as our business continues to grow.

From their can-do attitudes, willingness to go the extra mile, anticipating our needs, and working through problems quickly and efficiently, CBK is one of our best financial moves. We are so impressed with their friendliness and helpfulness that we recommend CBK for anyone looking for financial service providers. The folks at CBK greet us by name with a friendly smile that feels like family. The service goes far any other bank, and now we wouldn’t change it for anything!

Citizens Bank of Kansas has always handled my accounts professionally, and over the last several years, they've become a key partner in growing my business.

We love the hometown feel at CBK; knowing that these friends are watching our accounts gives me total peace of mind. The mortgage department of Citizens Bank of Kansas is top tier. Brenda Knipfer in the mortgage department is top tier and goes above and beyond to serve her customers. Being an entrepreneur, as need another account, Brock Stuhlsatz has helped me, collecting information, with everything ready to sign when I arrive. I wouldn’t do business anywhere else but CBK!
