Springfield-based OMB Bank is excited to announce it has converted its Lenexa, Kan., loan production office to a retail and commercial bank branch capable of taking deposits and performing transactions for new and existing customers. OMB received FDIC approval for its branch application in late October of 2023 and began operating its retail services on Dec. 20, 2023.
“The transformation of our loan production office in Lenexa into a retail banking branch is a true milestone moment for OMB’s growth and expansion efforts,” said Mark Harrington, president and CEO. “This strategic move reflects our unwavering commitment to providing a better banking experience for our valued customers in Lenexa and the greater Kansas City area. By expanding our services, we aim to become a trusted financial partner in every sense. We look forward to building lasting relationships, contributing to local economic development and delivering the exceptional service that OMB is known for to our customers.”
OMB entered the Kansas City market with its Lenexa LPO in June 2023. Located at 8801 Renner Blvd., Ste. 401, in the popular mixed use Lenexa City Center, the branch now provides retail checking, savings, CDs and money market accounts primarily for its growing commercial and treasury management customers.
“At OMB, our commitment to the community goes beyond transactions - it's about building meaningful connections, understanding the unique needs of our customers and providing personalized solutions,” said Doug Parker, community bank president. “This transition underscores our dedication to becoming a trusted partner for all of our customers, fostering lasting relationships in the heart of Lenexa and the Kansas City community.”
The new branch is now staffed by seven OMB teammates including Parker, Branch Manager Leann Skiles, loan officers Joe Bardwell and Oswaldo Romero, Treasury Services Officer Len Thompson, Executive Administrative Assistant Hanna Wiltfong and Personal Banker Arie Thompson.
