Astra Bank is proud to announce its plans to acquire Midwest Community Bank, pending regulatory approval. Astra Bank will acquire both Midwest Community Bank locations – Plainville, Kansas and Palco, Kansas.

“For more than a century now, Astra Bank has been serving people in and around our home communities with integrity and a deep commitment to helping them succeed. We have deep roots in this region of Kansas, and with this acquisition we plan to enhance our commitment to the community of Plainville and expand our commitment to include the community of Palco,” said Kyle Campbell, President and CEO of Astra Bank. “We believe this acquisition fits perfectly with the style of banking we provide.”

The acquisition is expected to be finalized in the first quarter of 2017. Campbell said Midwest Community Bank’s current customers can expect a seamless transition with no interruption to service. “Our intention is for Midwest Community Bank’s customers to never be inconvenienced in the slightest by this change over. We think they will find being Astra Bank customers a very positive experience,” Campbell added.

Known as the bank with deep roots and a deeper commitment in the communities it serves, Astra Bank has branch offices in seven different cities, including Abilene, Belleville, Chapman, Hays, Plainville and Scandia, Kansas, and Sutton, Nebraska. The bank was chartered in 1911. Astra Bank is a member of the FDIC.
