Deep Kansas Roots. Lasting Relationships.

About Farmers Bank of Kansas City

Our roots reach beyond the Kansas City metro—and we’re proud of them.

Farmers Bank of Kansas City traces its beginnings to Farmers State Bank of Albert, which opened in 1907 in a small farming community in central Kansas. The Robbins family purchased the bank in 1971 and went on to acquire additional community banks in the years that followed.

Our name honors those early customers: farmers who worked tirelessly to support their families and communities. Their determination helped shape the values that continue to guide us today.

Our growth reflects a commitment to meeting changing customer needs. By bringing together banking and mortgage capabilities, we continue to build on the knowledge, resources, and relationships that support our customers.
