Fast-growing bank to open two new branches and will scrape and rebuild a third
Stryv Bank has grown so much in the last seven years, said chairman and CEO Cuy Mauck, “We’re to the point now we’ve got offices in the lobby.”
That’s at the bank’s headquarters at 61st and Broadway in Park City.
So one of its three plans for new branches includes building a new 9,000-square-foot branch that has extra room for offices at 3527 N. Ridge Road.
Construction will start in about 10 days, and about a dozen bank employees will relocate there in early July.
Along with their offices, there will be a retail bank branch there.
Instead of a traditional drive-through, there will be an ATM/ITM, which is an interactive teller machine with a human on the other end for the customer to speak with.
Luke Scott of WDM Architects has redesigned the space, and McCownGordon Construction is doing the remodeling.
After that, next up will be a new Stryv branch on the east side at the Oak Creek development on the southwest corner of 21st and Greenwich.
This branch, which will have a traditional drive-through, will be about 2,500 square feet. Construction likely will start in early 2027.
Also in the construction mix will be a replacement branch for Stryv’s Bel Aire branch, likely sometime in 2028.
Mauck said that branch will be scraped and rebuilt.
Currently, the branch is in a 45-year-old building with poured concrete walls.
“In 1980, it was the wave of the future,” Mauck said.
Now, though, there is not much architects can do to reconfigure the existing space, which is requiring the scrape-and-build project.
“After that, we’re done for at least a couple of years,” Mauck said.
He and nine former Rose Hill Bank employees joined what was then known as Chisholm Trail State Bank in 2018. At the time, the bank had about $55 million in assets, but it then began growing by 20% to 25% each year with the new team.
The bank rebranded to Stryv in 2021. It now has $310 million in assets, Mauck said.
“We’re very thankful to everyone here in Wichita who has embraced us.”
