Emprise Bank
Headquartered in Wichita, Emprise Bank has 29 locations across the state of Kansas and is a leader in the Kansas financial services industry.
Emprise Bank is privately owned by Emprise Financial Corporation, a holding company owned by W.A. Michaelis and his son, M.D. Michaelis. M.D. Michaelis serves as Chairman of the Board for Emprise Bank, and Thomas A. Page is Chief Executive Officer.
The roots of Emprise Bank began in Wichita during 1910 as Stockyards Bank. Through subsequent acquisitions and mergers beginning in 1965, the Michaelis family owned three banks in Wichita by 1988 - National Bank of Wichita, United American Bank and Wichita State Bank. On January 1, 1989, these three banks were merged to form Emprise Bank.
While creating a presence in the Wichita market, the Michaelis family also purchased Allen County Bank & Trust in Iola (1970), Potwin State Bank in Potwin (1979), and in 1980 they purchased Citizens National Bank in Eureka and First National Bank in Toronto. The Michaelis family purchased Council Grove Bancshares, Inc. and Council Grove National Bank in 1982.
Continuing the commitment to be a strong community bank in the state of Kansas, they purchased First National Bank in Hillsboro in 1985, followed by the purchase of First National bank of Hays in 1986. In 1991, the Lawrence branch facility of Columbia Savings Association was purchased. Emprise Bank acquired Wichita Federal Savings & Loan - increasing their market share and doubling their asset size - in 1997, and opened a bank in El Dorado in August 2002. Three Enterprise Bank branches were purchased in Chanute, Humboldt, and Moran in April 2003.
In November, 2006, Emprise merged with Prairie State Bank, adding eleven additional branches to its Kansas network. Emprise includes locations in the following Kansas communities:
