What stands out in Kansas
Like for like, Kansas's banks' multifamily books grew 15.1% in the year to June 30, 2026, ranking 6th highest of the 43 ranked states (U.S.: +3.5%).
Banks here added multifamily loans faster than banks nationally, so a local bank is more likely to have room for a new apartment loan.
The 10 largest multifamily books hold 66.1% of Kansas's bank multifamily loans, ranking 13th lowest of the 43 ranked states (median of the 43 states: 85.2%).
Multifamily loans here are spread across many banks, so a smaller community bank can be a real option alongside the largest holders.

What this means if you're a borrower in Kansas
Banks that are adding multifamily loans tend to compete for them, so it is worth asking more than one Kansas bank before taking the first terms you see.
Because Kansas's multifamily loans are spread across many banks, smaller community banks belong on the list alongside the largest holders in the table above.

Kansas bank CRE: common questions
Which banks in Kansas hold the most multifamily loans?+
Among banks headquartered in Kansas with under $100 billion in assets, Intrust Bank, N.A. ($342.0 million), Security Bank Of Kansas City ($307.7 million) and Equity Bank ($248.2 million) held the largest multifamily books at June 30, 2026, according to FDIC Call Report data. The table on this page lists the 25 largest, with each bank's change over the year.
Are Kansas banks still growing multifamily?+
Like for like, Kansas's banks grew 15.1% their multifamily books in the year to June 30, 2026, against +3.5% for U.S. banks under $100 billion. 11 of the 16 Kansas banks with a multifamily book of $25 million or more a year earlier grew it. Like for like means banks that filed at both dates with no merger in the year.
How concentrated is Kansas bank CRE?+
17.8% of the CRE held by Kansas's banks under $100 billion sits at banks at or above 300% of capital, the 2006 interagency monitoring level: rank 15 of 43 states, against 25.0% nationally. 49.6% sits at banks at or above 200%. These are monitoring levels, not limits, and a bank above one is not in violation of anything.
Why don't national banks appear in this list?+
Banks with $100 billion or more in assets are left out of this page's tables and ranks, as on the national page: the largest banks' balance sheets are national, so their headquarters state says little about where they lend. None is headquartered in Kansas. Every bank here is listed by headquarters state, not by where its loans are.
How often is this updated?+
Every quarter, after banks file their Call Reports. This Kansas page reflects the 185 Kansas banks' June 30, 2026 (Q2 2026) filings, retrieved October 12, 2026; Q3 2026 data is expected in December 2026.
What this table is not. Concentration ratios are computed from each Kansas bank's own public regulatory filings and describe portfolio composition relative to capital — nothing here is a statement about any institution's safety, soundness, or condition, and exceeding a supervisory monitoring criterion is neither a violation nor a supervisory finding. Blue Sky Capital Advisors is a commercial mortgage advisory firm, not a bank rating agency.
