Commerce Bank traces its roots back to 1865 when Francis Reid Long came to Kansas City with $10,000 capital and started a bank, the Kansas City Savings Association. By 1890, the bank, then named the National Bank of Commerce, was the largest bank west of Chicago.
Today, Commerce Bank, a Missouri-based company with headquarters in Kansas City and St. Louis, operates in five states: Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Oklahoma and Colorado. Commerce Bank, with over $16.8 billion in assets, provides financial services for businesses and individuals.
Commerce Bank has always been an innovator. In 1928, the Company began the first 24-hour transit department in the country. This helped speed up the transit of checks between banks. The 1960s saw the introduction of the first full-scale International Department and, in 1984, Special Connections, the first card in the market to have the combined features of a credit card and ATM card, was introduced.
Excellence has been recognized by the industry. In 1989, Commerce was honored to be the only bank in Missouri to receive the Presidential “ E Star †award recognizing the Bank's contribution to the promotion of export activity. In July of 1991, Commerce was ranked “ Best Overall Performer †by United States Banker for an unprecedented second year in a row. Commerce also earned the top safety ranking for the fifth year in a row.
