[edit] History

The bank got its start in 1910 as Stockyards National Banks in the north end of Wichita, Kansas. By 1965, it had grown to $20 million in deposits. In that same year, the bank was purchased by the Michaelis family, which owned two other banks in the area (National Bank of Wichita and Wichita State Bank). In 1972, the bank's name was changed to United American Bank & Trust company. Emprise as its known today was formed in 1989 with the separate mergers of National Bank of Wichita, United American Bank & Trust Company, and Wichita State Bank.

In 2006, Emprise purchased Prairie State Bank, adding eleven more branches to the company.
