Country Club Bank expands into Olathe

Kansas City, Mo.-based Country Club Bank has expanded into Olathe, Kan., with its close of an acquisition.

This brings the bank’s greater Kansas City footprint to 21 locations, with the addition of two Olathe financial centers at 18675 West 151 st Street and at 23600 College Boulevard. The bank’s holding company, CCB Financial Corporation, acquired the Bank of the Prairie in early January and continued to operate as such until the past weekend.

Chris Donnelly has served as president/CEO of Bank of the Prairie and now joins the management of Country Club Bank as a regional president.

“We’re excited to offer our clients more robust financial and wealth management solutions that Country Club Bank brings to the table,” Donnelly said. “As we join the Country Club Bank family, we remain dedicated to our Olathe community. I’m eager to open new doors in partnering with good people known for their integrity and excellence in client service.”

The $1.5 billion Country Club Bank has more than $1 billion in commercial lending and $2.3 billion in assets under administration.

“We have been part of Kansas City’s renowned history for generations — through both good and challenging times for our city — and we’re excited to further expand our footprint across the Kansas City metropolitan area,” said Paul Thompson, CEO and chairman of Country Club Bank.
