150 years of community, growth & trust.
Since 1876, Bank of the Flint Hills has built a legacy of reliability, integrity, and deep community roots. Originally chartered as First National Bank—the same year the telephone was invented—we’ve been serving Kansans for generations.
What began as a single-location bank has grown into a locally owned, independently operated institution that combines hometown service with modern banking technology. Our team lives here, works here, and raises their families in the same communities we serve.
A Timeline of Milestones
Evolving with our Communities
We’ve always believed in growing with our communities—not just in size, but in innovation and service. From our early years as a single-location bank to our present-day footprint across Alma, Manhattan, Rossville, St. Marys, Wamego, and White City, we’ve never lost sight of what matters most: People.
We offer a full range of services—from checking and savings accounts to mobile banking and digital tools—all backed by a team that knows your name and cares about your success.
Looking Back with Pride. Moving Forward with Purpose.
As we celebrate 150 years, we’re honoring our past while preparing for the future with new technology, better tools, and the same dedication to serving the Flint Hills region that’s carried us this far.
Here’s to the next 150—together.
