RECOGNIZING INTRUST BANK'S 150TH ANNIVERSARY DURING AMERICA'S SEMIQUIN-

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, August 3, 2026

  Mr. ESTES. Mr. Speaker, in November, INTRUST Bank will celebrate 150 
years of serving the Wichita community, during the same year our Nation 
celebrates its 250th anniversary.
  INTRUST Bank was founded in 1876 in Wichita, when our Nation was 
celebrating its first 100 years, and Wichita was a small town on the 
Chisholm Trail. Since then, INTRUST Bank has been led by five 
generations, maintained a strong community presence, and expanded into 
neighboring states.
  This institution, rooted in the patriotism of our country and the 
pride of the Kansas plains, has not only watched changes and growth of 
the past 150 years but has accelerated it. Throughout its history, 
INTRUST Bank has built trust through a commitment to its employees and 
customers.
  While this milestone for INTRUST Bank is impressive, it is even more 
meaningful that it coincides with the 250th anniversary of the adoption 
of the Declaration of Independence. As we celebrate 250 years and look 
toward the next 250 years, I have full confidence that INTRUST Bank 
will continue to be a critical piece of our nation's story.
  I'm grateful that INTRUST Bank has been part of this community and 
continues to invest in the people of south central Kansas and our 
region. I look forward to seeing the growth of INTRUST Bank for many 
more years to come. On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of 
Kansas, I congratulate them on their sesquicentennial.
