Bank Suspends Amidst Large Cash Payout in Kansas City
The National Bank of Commerce in Kansas City closed its doors after paying out over 20 million dollars and still owing depositors about 16 million. The suspension is believed temporary as management is strong and other financial interests will assist. No funds were held by Bank Infinitas, and all Kansas City accounts have moved to other banks, so the public is not financially affected.
