Our culture.

People matter to us, that's why they're central in everything we do.

A culture based on values.

Our core values shape the way we live and work. And our culture is rooted in our core values:

  • We have a long-term view.
  • We collaborate as one team.
  • We act with integrity.
  • We are customer focused.
  • We strive for excellence.

Be your best self at work.

Creating an award-winning culture doesn’t come easy. But after nearly 160 years, we know Commerce Bank is only at its best when our people are.

 

We’ve worked hard to nurture an inclusive environment where all team members feel welcome and that they belong. We invest in tools and resources to allow you to grow and succeed, and that give you oppotunities to learn, connect with others, and build relationships with the people around you. We believe when you’re valued and cared for, you’re at your best. And when you’re at your best, you do your best work.

Community grounded.

We’re only as strong as the communities we serve. By engaging with our local communities, we build and sustain meaningful relationships. It’s central to who we are.


Each year, we continue to build upon our long-standing relationships, while forging new connections with community partners. We proactively provide support and resources in our local communities, with team members sharing their time, energy and talents to lend their strengths where they can do the most good.

Empowering our customers.

If it matters to our customers, it matters to us. We collaborate on thoughtful, innovative solutions for their unique needs and to meet the goals they’ve set for themselves.

By combining our knowledge, experience and observations, our team members can provide innovative solutions that help customers navigate successfully through their financial journey.


We understand that financial challenges can sometimes keep dreams just out of reach. That’s why we’re actively working to break down those barriers — offering the guidance, tools and support necessary to help everyone in our communities achieve their full potential.
