                            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

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 March 31, 1996 the amount of loans that are considered to be impaired under 
SFAS No. 114 was $5,663,000.  All of these loans are currently on a 
nonaccrual basis. Included in the impaired loans is $4,889,000 of loans for
which the related allowance for loan losses is $1,269,000.  The remaining
$774,000 of impaired loans do not have an allowance for loan loss as a result
of write-downs and supporting collateral value.  The average recorded
investment in impaired loans during the period ended March 31, 1996
was approximately $3,366,000.  


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 financialposition 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 seperately 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 repurchase 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 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

Summary
UMB Financial Corporation (the Company) recorded net income of 
$17,996,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to 
$12,855,000 for the same period last year, an increase of 39.99%.  On a 
per share basis, income for the first quarter of 1996 was $0.93, compared 
to $0.62 for the same period in 1995, an increase of 50.00%.  Return on 
assets was 1.17% and return on equity was 12.46% for the three months 
ended March 31, 1996.

The Company's improved performance has been primarily driven by an 
increase in non interest income.  This increase includes a gain on the 
sale of the servicing rights to its merchant bankcard portfolio.  Net 
interest income increased as a result of higher interest rates, an increase 
in lending activity and a change in balance sheet mix.  The Company 
increased its provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 1996 as a 
result of a general increase in leading activity and increased losses 
associated with bankcard loans.  Non interest expense increased slightly 
when comparing the first quarter of 1996 to the same period of 1995.

Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company earned net 
interest income of $51,733,000 compared to $48,148,000 for the first 
quarter of 1995, an increase of 7.45%.  This increase was the result of an 
improvement in the Company's net interest spread from 3.04% for the 
first quarter of 1995 to 3.28% for the first quarter of 1996.  This increase 
has resulted from higher interest rates and change in the mix of the 
Company's assets.  These changes also resulted in an increase in the 
Company's net interest margin which was 4.14% for the first quarter of 
1996 compared to 3.85% for the first three months of 1995.  During this 
period average earning assets have decreased slightly while average 
loans have increased by 4.5%.  The Company's loan growth has been 
the result of continued emphasis on middle market commercial lending 
and targeted campaigns for consumer loans.

The provision for loan losses was $4,827,000 and $926,000 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1996, and 1995, respectively.  The increase in 
provision was the result of increased net loan charge-offs primarily 
related to bankcard loans.  Net loan charge-offs in the first quarter of 
1996 were $2,109,000, compared to $1,168,000 for the same period last 
year.  The increase in loan loss provision was also warranted due to an 
increase in non performing loans.  This increase was primarily related to 
the bankruptcy of one commercial loan customer.

Non interest income totaled $39,986,000 for the first quarter of 1996 
compared to $30,615,000 for the same period of 1995.  The largest 
component of this change was a $9.8 million gain on the sale of the 
servicing rights of the merchant bankcard portfolio, in the first quarter of 
1996.  Included in other income for the first quarter of 1995 was a gain of 
approximately $2.6 million from the sale of the Company's minority 
ownership position in an ATM switching station.  Also, effecting non 
interest income at March 31, 1996 as compared to March 31, 1995, were 
increases in trust income and fees related to securities sales. These 
increases in fee income resulted primarily from changes in transaction 
volumes.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in 
securities processing income resulting from the loss of a large mutual 
fund processing customer in 1995.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

Non interest expense was $59,217,000 for the first three months of 1996 
compared to $58,643,000 for the same period of 1995 an increase of 
0.98%.  Excluding the effect of the acquisition of UMB Oklahoma Bank in 
December 1995, non interest expense decreased approximately 1%.  In 
comparing the first quarter of 1996 to the same period of 1995, the 
Company incurred marginal increases in occupancy cost and bankcard 
processing fees which were offset by a reduction in premiums for deposit 
insurance.  Occupancy cost increases were the result of new facilities, 
loan production offices and the outsourcing of building maintenance 
previously performed by in-house personnel.  The Company has and will 
continue to aggressively take measures to control all overhead related 
items.

Financial Condition
Total assets were $6.122 billion at March 31, 1996, compared to $5.929 
billion at March 31, 1995.  The increase in assets during the twelve 
month period ended March 31, 1996, was primarily the result of the 
acquisition of UMB Oklahoma Bank.  Loans, net of unearned interest 
increased to $2.419 billion as of March 31, 1996, from $2.302 billion at 
March 31, 1995.  Besides the increases due to the acquisition, loans 
increased due to a targeted loan campaign for consumer installment 
loans.  Investment securities were $2.585 billion at March 31, 1996, 
compared to $2.465 billion at March 31, 1995.  Increases in securities 
and loans were funded by a decrease in federal fund and resell 
transactions.  Total deposits of $4.743 billion at March 31, 1996 were 
basically unchanged from $4.733 billion at March 31, 1995.  Increases in 
deposits due to the UMB Oklahoma Bank acquisition were offset by a 
loss of deposits associated with the loss of a mutual fund processing 
customer in 1995.

Non accrual and restructured loans totaled $8,878,000, 0.37% of loans, 
and loans past due 90 days or more were $6,624,000, 0.27% of loans, at 
March 31, 1996.  The Company's loan quality remains strong by industry 
standards.  The total of nonperforming loans and loans past due 90 days 
or more were less than 1.0% of total loans.  At March 31, 1996, the 
Company's allowance for loan losses was $35,403,000 or 1.46% of 
outstanding loans, compared to 1.40% one year earlier.  The Company 
has a well-diversified loan portfolio with no foreign loans and no 
significant credit exposure to commercial real estate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity position continues to be strong.  At March 31, 
1996, the Company's loan to deposit ratio was 49.5% compared to 48.6% 
at March 31, 1995.  At March 31, 1996, the average life of the securities 
portfolio was 23 months and 34% 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 $564 million at March 31, 1996 compared to 
$584 million at March 31, 1995 and $576 million at year end 1995.  
During the twelve months ended March 31, 1996, the Company 
increased its treasury stock holdings by $56 million. Management will 
continue to consider treasury stock purchases depending on price, 
availability and alternative uses of funds. At March 31, 1996, the net 
unrealized loss on securities available for sale was $6.3 million, 
compared to an unrealized loss of $16.1 million at March 31, 1995, and 
an unrealized gain of $9.8 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 quarter of 1996, the Company 
acquired 944,833 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.  During the 
second quarter of 1996, the Company intends to purchase the remaining 
256,300 shares of this commitment.

The Company's capital position is summarized in the table below and far 
exceeds regulatory requirements.
