First Kansas Bank of Great Bend has agreed to acquire Bank of America branches in Great Bend and Hays, local bank officials announced Wednesday.The deal, which involves deposits but not loans and is still subject to approval from banking regulators and closing conditions, is expected to be completed this summer, said Paul Snapp, First Kansas president and chief executive officer. No job losses are anticipated as a result of the sale.“We are very excited to welcome these new customers to our existing banking family,” Snapp said. “These new locations demonstrate our commitment to the Golden Belt area as we enter our 113th year of service.”In Great Bend, Bank of America operates its main location at 2006 Broadway, a drive-up facility at 2223 Broadway and an automated-teller machine in the Dillons store at 10th and McKinley.These will continue as Bank of America locations until the deal is finalized, Snapp said.
