We are building the bank we want to see in the world. Since 1928, we’ve worked tirelessly to serve as the financial foundation for the most innovative businesses. From our early days supporting local agricultural interests to our industry-leading financial services platform, we are a leading business banking, personal banking, and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) partner for builders and innovators. At Lead Bank, we believe experience is everything. Our executive team, composed of fintech leaders, local banking experts with strong community ties, and senior financial and marketing executives, has extensive experience driving fintech innovation and navigating complex banking regulations. When we say extensive, we mean it: we successfully built one of only a few de-novo banks in the US in the last two decades. This work inspired us to create a technology platform capable of enabling financial services not just for one company, but for everyone. We’ve worked for years to make this belief a reality, forging a unique blend of talent and culture that combines regulatory expertise with modern technology. Our new Partner Platform provides fintechs and other companies with a seamless, flexible, and secure foundation to create and scale new financial solutions tailored to their customers’ needs. Today, our mission is to define what’s possible in banking. While we remain committed to Kansas City, we’re dedicated to supporting builders and innovators everywhere with our combination of industry-leading expertise and reliable, resilient technology.
