As of 30 June 2025, Central Bancompany reported total assets of $19.1bn, along with $14.2bn in wealth assets under advice.

Its activities are primarily concentrated in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado.
At the end of June 2025, the firm operated 156 full-service branches and had an estimated deposit market share of 24% across its markets.
Proceeds from the IPO are intended for general corporate use and to support future growth initiatives.

The IPO is being led by Morgan Stanley, Keefe Bruyette Woods, BofA Securities, Piper Sandler, and Stephens, who are acting as joint bookrunners.
