CoreFirst Bank & Trust (formerly Commerce Bank & Trust) is an American community bank headquartered in Topeka, Kansas. Commerce Bank & Trust changed its name to CoreFirst Bank & Trust in order to differentiate itself from other "Commerce Banks", both in Kansas (Commerce Bancshares) and nationwide (such as Commerce Bank & Trust Company). [2] Since the name change, CoreFirst has operated under three different brands.

[3] Commerce opened its first in-store branches (grocery store) in 1988. In 1997, the first location outside of Topeka opened in Emporia, Kansas. Commerce reached $1 billion in assets in 2004.

In July, 2007, Commerce Bank & Trust changed its name to CoreFirst Bank & Trust to allow for expansion outside of its current market; Topeka, Kansas. [2] CoreFirst Bank & Trust assumed the charter of First United Bank, NA Englewood, Colorado. [4] Through this, CoreFirst opened its first location in Englewood, Colorado in September 2007. Later that year, CoreFirst opened its first Kansas City area branch in Shawnee, Kansas. Since 2007, CoreFirst has opened 2 additional locations in the Kansas City, Kansas area. CoreFirst's branch network now consists of 15 branches in Kansas and Colorado.
