Commerce Bancshares, Inc. (CBSH), parent of Commerce Bank, has received all necessary regulatory approvals to finalize its planned merger with FineMark Holdings, Inc., parent of FineMark National Bank & Trust.

Kemper highlighted the merger as a shared commitment to excellence and long-term value creation for clients, shareholders, and communities.
As of June 30, 2025, FineMark reported $3.9 billion in assets, $3.1 billion in deposits, $2.7 billion in loans, and approximately $8.3 billion in trust and investment assets serving about 2,000 clients.
