Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and results of
Operations and with reference to the 1996 Annual Report to
Shareholders.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements.  These estimates and
assumptions also impact reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.   Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

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 5% stock dividend paid on January 2, 1997.

collateral value.  The average recorded investment in impaired loans

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

Summary

UMB Financial Corporation (the Company) earned net income of
$14,961,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to
$17,996,000 for the same period a year earlier.  This represents per
share earnings of $0.77 for the first quarter of 1997 compared to $0.89
for the first quarter of 1996.  Included in the 1996 results was a gain on the
sale of the servicing rights of the merchant bankcard portfolio of $9.8
million.  In addition the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.8
million over and above the normal recurring monthly provision.  The approximate
net after tax effect was $4.3 million or $0.21 per share.

The Company's net interest income increased as a result of increased
lending activity and the effect of higher interest rates on investment
securities.  Provision for loan losses decreased due to increased
provision in the first quarter of 1996 for non performing loans.  Non
interest income decreased primarily due to the gain recorded in the first
quarter of 1996 from the sale of the servicing rights of the merchant
bankcard portfolio. Non interest expense increased 6.49% when
comparing the first quarter of 1997 to the same period of 1996.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 1997 the Company earned net
interest income of $53,586,000 compared to $51,733,000 for the first
quarter of 1996, an increase of 3.58% which approximates the increase
in average for the two periods.  This increase occurred while the
Company's spread and margin remained relatively unchanged.
Contributing to the increase in net interest income was an increase of
average loans outstanding of 8.42%.  The Company's net interest income
was also effected by an increase in rates earned on its investment
security portfolio.

The provision for loan losses was $1,925,000 and $4,827,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The
decrease was primarily related to additional provision, during the first
quarter of 1996, due to an increase in non performing loans.  Net loan
charge-offs in the first quarter of 1997 were $1,708,000 compared to
$2,109,000 for the same period last year.

Non interest income totaled $33,553,000 for the first quarter of 1997
compared to $39,986,000 for the same period of 1996.  The largest
component of this change was a $9.8 million gain on the sale of the
servicing rights of the merchant bankcard portfolio, recorded in the first
quarter of 1996.  Also effecting non interest income at March 31, 1997 as
compared to March 31, 1996 were increases in trust income, service
charges and other cash management fees.  These increases emphasize
the importance of diverse business lines which provide on going returns
without jeopardizing the Company's high asset quality standards.

Non interest expense was $63,061,000 for the first three months of 1997
compared to $59,217,000 for the same period of 1996, an increase of
6.49%.  Staffing related costs increased by 6.32% primarily due to
additional personnel at new facilities and the data processing areas.
Occupancy costs increased as a result of the opening of new branch
facilities.  Equipment expense also increased due to the new facilities and
as a result of ongoing upgrades to the operating systems.

Financial Condition

Total assets at March 31, 1996 were $6.443 billion compared to $6.122
billion at March 31, 1996 and $6.512 billion at December 31, 1996.
Loans, net of unearned interest increased to $2.597 billion as of March
31, 1997 compared to $2.403 billion at March 31, 1996.  This 8.10%
increase in loans reflects management's goal to increase loans in a very
competitive market.  Investment securities decreased to $2.531 billion at
March 31, 1997, from $2.602 billion at March 31, 1996.  Total deposits
increased to $5.157 billion at March 31, 1997 compared to $4.743 billion
at March 31, 1996.

Non accrual and restructured loans totaled $17,193,000, 0.66% of loans
at March 31, 1997 compared to $11,476,000, 0.45% of loans at December
31, 1996.  Loans past due 90 days or more were $5,786,000, 0.22% of
loans at March 31, 1997, compared to $6,704,000, 0.26% of loans at
December 31, 1996.  The Company's loan quality remains strong by
industry standards.  The increase in non-accrual loans was the result of
one commercial loan and adequate reserves are in place to cover any
potential losses.  The total non performing loans and loans past due 90
days or more were less than 1.0% of total loans.  At March 31, 1997 the
Company's allowance for loan losses was $33,631,000 or 1.29% of
outstanding loans.  The Company has a well-diversified loan portfolio with
no foreign loans and no significant credit exposure to commercial real
estate.  Delinquency rates in the Company's bankcard loan portfolio are
well below industry averages.

its treasury stock holdings by $26 million.  Management will continue to
consider treasury stock purchases depending on price, availability and

securities available for sale was $7.8 million, compared to unrealized
losses of $6.3 million at March 31, 1996 and $1.8 million at December 31,
1996.

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.

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