1.  Financial Statement Presentation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 
its subsidiaries after elimination of all material intercompany transactions. 
In the opinion of management of the Company,  all adjustments, which were of
a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and results of operations have been made.  The financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and results of Operations and with 
reference to the 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders.

2.  Earnings Per Share:

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of 
common stock outstanding during the interim periods.  All share and per 
share data has been adjusted to reflect a 10% stock dividend paid on
January 2, 1996.

3.  Acquisitions:

On December 13, 1995 the Company acquired First Sooner Bancshares, the one-bank
holding company of The Oklahoma Bank (now UMB Oklahoma Bank), for $12.7 million.
The acquisition of this $139 million bank was recorded as a purchase, with 
$3.3 million recorded as premium on purchased bank.  This acquisition is not
deemed to be material in relation to the consolidated results of the Company.

4.  Allowance for Loan Losses: (Continued)

At September 30, 1996 the amount of loans that are considered to be impaired 
under SFAS No. 114 was $11,925,000.  All of these loans are currently on a
nonaccrual basis. Included in the impaired loans is $11,010,000 of loans for
which the related allowance for loan losses is $1,924,000.  The remaining
$915,000 of impaired loans do not have an allowance for loan loss as a result
of write-downs and supporting collateral value.  Theaverage recorded
investment in impaired loans during the period ended September 30, 1996
was approximately $7,909,000.  


5.  Commitments and Contingencies:

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are
named defendants in various lawsuits and counterclaims.  In the opinion of 
management after consultation with legal counsel, none of the suits
will have a materially adverse effect on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

6.  Other Events:

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a gain of $9.8 million
on the sale of its merchant bankcard portfolio.  Merchant bankcard 
processing income and related processing expenses previously
were reported separately in the Company's consolidated statements of income. 
Merchant processing income has been reclassified against processing
expense in order to allow a more meaningful comparison of current and prior
period results.

On April 17, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of one million
shares of the Company's common stock.  The authorization allows for the
purchase of approximately 5 percent of the Company's common stock
during the next 12 months.

UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Summary
UMB Financial Corporation (the Company) earned net income of $14,034,000 for 
the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $12,280,000 for the same
period last year.  This represents per share earnings of $0.75 for the
third quarter of 1996 compared to $0.59 for the third quarter of 1995,
an increase of 27.1%.  On a year-to-date basis, 1996 earnings were $46,573,000,
or $2.44 per share, compared to $37,230,000 or $1.79 per share for the prior 
year.  Return on average assets was 1.01% and return on 
average equity was 10.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

The Company's improved performance has been primarily driven by an increase in
non-interest income and a decrease in average common shares outstanding. 
Net interest income increased on a quarterly and year-to-date
basis as a result of an increase in lending activity and the effect of higher
interest rates.  The Company increased its provision for loan losses for the
quarter and for the year due to increases in non performing loans and increased
loan charge-offs.  Non-interest expense increased slightly during both periods.

Results of Operations
For the three months ended September 30, 1996, net interest income totaled
$52,633,000 compared to $49,871,000 for the same period a year earlier.  
This represents a 5.54% increase which is consistent with the year-to-date
results which increased to $155,035,000 for 1996 from $147,673,000
for 1995.  The Company's yield on interest earning assets was 7.32% for 1996,
compared to 7.24% for the first nine months of 1995.  This increase has resulted
from higher interest rates and a change in the mix of the Company's assets.
Average loan balances during 1996 increased 3.76% over the average for the same
period of 1995.  Average investment securities balances during 
1996 increased 3.32% compared to the average for 1995.  The yield on investment
securities has also increased as the Company has slightly extended the average 
maturity of its portfolio.

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was 
$1,821,000 compared to $1,181,000 for the same period of 1995.  The provision 
for the third quarter of 1996 approximates net charge-offs for the period.  
This increase is consistent with the 1996 year-to-date provision which increased
to $8,476,000 from $3,032,000 for the same period in 1995.  The increase
in year-to-date provision was the result of increased net loan charge-offs and
additional provision provided for the increase in non-accrual loans.

Non interest income totaled $31,191,000 for the third quarter of 1996 
compared to $27,589,000 for the same period of 1995.  The largest
components of these changes were increases in trust income and service charges.
For the first nine months of 1996, non interest income increased to 
$103,177,000 from $87,156,000 a year earlier.  Contributing to the year-to-date
increase was a $9.8 million gain on the sale of the servicing rights of the
merchant bankcard portfolio, during the first quarter of 1996.  Also 
effecting the year-to-date results were increases in trust income, service
charges and trading income.

Non interest expense was $61,291,000 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 compared to $57,810,000 for the same period of 1995.  For
the first nine months of 1996, non interest expense increased to $179,680,000 
compared to $176,300,000 for 1995, an increase of 1.92%.  In comparing the 
quarter and year-to-date results, the Company incurred marginal increases 
in staffing related costs, marketing and occupancy expense 
which were offset by reductions in premiums for deposit insurance.
The Company has and will continue to aggressively take measures 
to control all overhead related items.

UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

Financial Condition
Total assets were $6.097 billion at September 30, 1996 compared to $5.620
billion at September 30, 1995.  The increase in assets during the twelve month
period ended September 30, 1996 was the result of increases in loans
and investment securities, as well as the acquisition of
UMB Oklahoma Bank.  Loans, net of unearned interest increased to $2.492 billion
as of September 30, 1996, from $2.417 billion at September 
30, 1995.  The Company's loan growth for the period has been slightly lower
than expectations due to a very competitive loan market.  Investment
securities were $2.464 billion at September 30, 1996 compared to $2.251
billion at September 30, 1995.  Increases in securities and loans were funded 
by an increase in deposits.

Non accrual and restructured loans totaled $13,639,000, 0.55% of total loans at 
September 30, 1996.  Loans past due 90 days or more were $6,569,000, 0.26% of 
total loans at September 30, 1996.  The increase in non accrual loans was
primarily the result of three commercial loans.  Significant additions in 
the Company's reserve for loan losses are not anticipated as a result
of these loans.  At September 30, 1996, the Company's allowance for loan
losses was $34,436,000 or 1.38% of outstanding loans, compared to 
$31,823,000 one year earlier.  Other real estate owned totaled $0.6 million 
at September 30, 1996 compared to $4.5 million a year earlier.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity position continues to be strong.  At September 30, 1996
the Company's average loan to deposit ratio was 51.8% compared to 49.8% at
September 30, 1995.  At September 30, 1996, the average life of the securities
portfolio was 24 months and 28% of the portfolio matures during the
next twelve months.  The Company has access to various borrowing markets
should there be a need for additional funding.

Shareholders' equity totaled $567 million at September 30, 1996 compared to
$611 million at September 30, 1995 and $576 million at year end 1995.  During 
the twelve months ended September 30, 1996, the Company increased its treasury
stock holding by $64 million. Management will continue to consider treasury 
stock purchases depending on price, availability and alternative uses
of funds. At September 30, 1996, the net unrealized loss on securities
available for sale was $10.0 million, compared to an unrealized gain of 
$233,000 at September 30, 1995, and an unrealized gain of $3.6 million at 
December 31, 1995.

In December 1995, the Company and its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) 
entered into a commitment to purchase 1,581,133 shares of common stock of the 
Company.  During the first half of 1996, the Company acquired 1,201,133 of such
shares for treasury stock using existing working capital.  Also, 
in the first quarter the ESOP purchased 380,000 shares by means 
of a seven-year loan guaranteed by the Company.  This ESOP transaction 
is reflected on the balance sheet as an increase in long term debt 
and as equity under the caption, Unearned ESOP.

Included in this report are limited forward looking statements concerning
the Company's future financial condition and results of operations.  These 
statements are the result of Management's current expectations based
on information presently available.  Actual results would differ from these 
expectations as a result of many factors including changes 
in economic conditions impacting customers ability to repay loans, interest
rates and loan demand.  Changes in technology, regulatory requirements
and competition will also impact future results.
