CrossFirst Bank, originally founded as CrossPoint Bank, was organized in 2007 by a group of financial executives and prominent business leaders, and is specifically designed to meet the needs of business owners, professionals and their families. Bank organizers raised more than twice the amount of capital typically generated to open a bank in Kansas. The bank’s board members and most of its shareholders live in the area and are actively involved in their communities.
The more than $190 million de novo bank is located at 11225 College Boulevard, Suite 150 in Overland Park, Kansas, near I-435 & 69 Highway. Kansas banker Mike Maddox was named President and CEO of the bank in late 2008. He joins bank founders Ron Baldwin and Eric Schroeder in leading a team of some of the most experienced banking professionals in the area... all of whom are dedicated to the founders’ purpose: To Serve People in Extraordinary Ways.
While the business model for most banks is to create economies of scale by proliferating a market with branches, the founders’ philosophy was to invest in people and technology instead of branch infrastructure. This means that highly experienced bankers – who have the ability to understand and meet the unique needs of business owners, professionals and their families – serve each and every client.
