IOLTA Banks of the Year
The Kansas Bar Foundation each year recognizes the banks and financial institutions that help invest in access to justice and law related education through the Kansas IOLTA (Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts) program. Each year, two banks are selected as IOLTA Banks of the Year. Country Club Bank and Bank of the West are the 2020 banks of the year. The Foundation appreciates collaborating with them and has especially appreciated their support during COVID-19.

Each year, the IOLTA program generates approximately $100,000 in remittances that provide grants to non-profits in Kansas. The Kansas IOLTA program has 105 banks and financial institutions that offer this service to attorneys.
The Foundation also recognizes CoreFirst Bank & Trust as a Kansas IOLTA Prime Partner Bank. The Prime Partner Program is available to any Kansas bank that waives fees and pays supportive interest rates.
Attorneys in Kansas have an option to participate in IOLTA. Over 4,000 attorneys have an IOLTA. The process to have your trust account be an IOLTA is easy. Visit ksbar.org/IOLTA for details.
