KBA Strategic Partners offer everything from accounting, correspondent banking, consulting, investment, legal, technology, and any number of other bank-related products and services. Many of these companies have been KBA associate members for over 25 years and have supported this association, our member banks, and Kansas banking in general through the very best and most challenging of times. I’m very pleased that we continue to see numerous new companies stepping forward to engage with the KBA and bring their specialized areas of expertise to our Kansas banks. In turn, associate members who have been with us for a long time are continually changing and evolving their products and services to meet the needs of KBA member banks. In addition to providing top-of-the-line products and services, KBA Strategic Partners support the KBA by sponsoring conferences, seminars and other events. Without those sponsorship dollars, we would be limited in the scope of what we are able to offer you — our member banks. It is a combination of those sponsorships and your attendance that allows us to bring you the very best and most up-to-date educational opportunities. This special annual directory is published each year with an issue of The Kansas Banker. I encourage you to take time to look through this guide, and when you are looking for bank solutions and services, please reference this directory to find an impressive array of companies that are proud to be Strategic Partners of the Kansas Bankers Association.

KeyState offers banks with over $1 billion in assets the opportunity to form a wholly-owned captive insurance company through its Bank Captive Program. A captive insurance company, or a legally licensed limited purpose property and casualty insurance company, can augment a bank’s commercial policies by covering the existing commercial deductible layers, increasing coverage levels on existing policies (excess layers) and identifying other currently unfunded risks to insure where commercial insurance is not available to the bank. Through a captive, banks can improve their enterprise risk management; better manage unfunded risks; formalize a self-insurance program; realize efficiencies and savings related to insurance expenses and loss mitigation; and take advantage of a small business incentive available under a section of the Tax Code. What makes KeyState’s Bank Captive Program different from its competitors? The primary differentiator is KeyState’s deep knowledge and specific expertise working with banks and their regulators in evaluating structures and responding to regulator inquiries. KeyState’s team offers a turnkey product and assists the bank every step along the way. Market HR Services Mike Metz 110 E.
