About Central Bank of Kansas City

Downtown Kansas City

Central Bank has been recognized by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI) for the bank's investment in distressed communities and has been a certified CDFI since 1998.

Central Bank of Kansas City’s certification as a CDFI is a long-term commitment in building prosperity and providing opportunities in our local communities that need them most.

The Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund is an initiative of the U.S. Treasury, which joins federal money with private sector capital to fund market-driven solutions to community-based issues. A CDFI works within its own local sector to help inject new sources of capital into areas and neighborhoods that normally would lack access to investment.

Central Bank of KC is an active participant in the federal New Market Tax Credit program - awarded by the CDFI Fund. The bank has allocated over $450 million in awards over the past 15 years to projects in severely distressed census tracts, including supporting projects totaling over $200 million in community facilities that provide services to the low-to-moderate income populations and over $200 million to manufacturing and industrial employers supporting the creation and retention of nearly 20,000 jobs in total.

For nearly 70 years, Central Bank has served the local community and helped build and support neighborhoods. From reading each week to 2nd graders at area schools, to talking to preschoolers about saving during Money Smart Month, to serving meals for the needy - Central Bank of Kansas City cares.

We at Central Bank of Kansas City are proud to be the only CDFI bank headquartered in Missouri, and one of the very few nationally. For us, it’s more than just giving back—it’s about believing in the opportunities.
