                   GOLD BANC CORPORATION, INC.
    CHARTER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

I.   AUDIT COMMITTEE PURPOSE

  The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to
  assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities.
  The Audit Committee's primary duties and responsibilities are
  to:

  -    Monitor the integrity of Gold's financial reports and
       other financial information provided by Gold to any
       governmental body or the public;

  -    Monitor the integrity of Gold's financial reporting
       process and systems of internal controls regarding
       finance, accounting, and legal compliance.

  -    Monitor the independence and performance of Gold's
       independent auditors and internal auditing department.

  -    Provide an avenue of communication among the independent
       auditors, management, the internal auditing department,
       and the Board of Directors.

  -    Encourage adherence to, and continuous improvement of
       Gold's policies, procedures, and practices at all levels.

  -    Review areas of potential significant financial risk to
       Gold

  -    Report to the Board of Directors.


  The Audit Committee has the authority to conduct any
  investigation appropriate to fulfilling its responsibilities,
  and it has direct access to the independent auditors as well
  as anyone in the organization.  The Audit Committee has the
  ability to retain, at Gold's expense, special legal,
  accounting, or other consultants or experts it deems necessary
  in the performance of its duties.

II.  AUDIT COMMITTEE COMPOSITION AND MEETINGS

  The Audit Committee shall be comprised of three or more
  directors as determined by the Board, each of whom shall be
  independent directors.  Members of the Audit Committee shall
  be considered independent if they have no relationship to Gold
  that may interfere with the exercise of their independence
  from management and Gold.   All members of the Committee shall
  have a basic understanding of finance and accounting and be
  able to read and understand fundamental financial statements.
  At least one member of the Committee shall have accounting or
  related financial management expertise with past employment
  experience in finance or accounting or any other comparable
  experience or background which results in the individual's
  financial sophistication, including being or having been a
  chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other
  senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities.


<PAGE>


  The following five criteria are used for assessing
  independence:

  -    Former Employees:  A director being employed by the
       Corporation or any of its affiliates for the current year
       or any of the past three years.

  -    Director Compensation:  A director accepting any
       compensation from the Corporation or any of its
       affiliates in excess of $60,000 other than compensation
       for Board service or benefits under a tax-qualified
       retirement plan or non-discretionary compensation.

  -    Family Members:  A director being a member of the
       immediate family (which includes a person's spouse,
       parents, children, siblings, mother-in-law, father-in-
       law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-
       in-law, and anyone who resides in such person's home) of
       an individual who is, or has been in any of the past
       three years, employed by Gold or any of its affiliates as
       an executive officer.

  -    Business Relationships:  A director being a partner in,
       or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of,
       any for-profit business organization to which Gold made,
       or from which Gold received, payments that exceed five
       percent of Gold's or business organization's consolidated
       gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is
       greater, in any of the past three years.

  -    Cross-Directorships:  A director being employed as an
       executive of another entity where any of Gold's
       executives serves on that entity's compensation
       committee.

     The independence criteria may be waived for one director
     under exceptional and limited circumstances if the Board
     determines that membership on the Committee by the
     individual is required by the best interests of Gold and its
     shareholders, and the Board discloses, in the next annual
     proxy statement, the nature of the relationships and the
     reasons for that determination.  The director may not be a
     current employee or family member of a current employee.

  Audit Committee members shall be appointed by the Board.  If
  an Audit Committee Chair is not designated or present, the
  members of the Committee may designate a Chair by majority
  vote of the Committee membership.

III. COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES

  The Committee shall meet at least four times annually, or more
  frequently as circumstances dictate.  The Audit Committee
  Chair shall prepare and / or approve an agenda in advance of
  each meeting.  The Committee should meet privately in
  executive session at least annually with management, the
  director of the internal auditing department, the independent
  auditors, and as a committee to discuss any matters that the
  committee or each of these groups believe should be discussed.
  In addition, the Committee, or at least its Chair should
  communicate with management and the independent auditors
  quarterly to review the company's financial statements and
  significant findings based upon the auditors limited review
  procedures.

                 common practices or are minority practices.

OUR STRATEGY

BUILD OUR EXISTING, CORE FRANCHISE

     Position the Company in more high growth areas, either
     within existing or contiguous markets, to allow us to derive
     more of our growth from core operations and be less
     dependent on acquisitions, especially once pooling of
     interests accounting is eliminated;

               targeted revenue growth rate of 20% per year

     Effective cross-selling of our products to existing
     customers will allow us to grow revenues and profits faster
     than the growth in assets.

               target ROA of 1.5%, target ROE of 15% - 18%

GROW THROUGH STRATEGIC, ACCRETIVE ACQUISITIONS.

     Increasingly focus on more metropolitan, high growth areas;

          goal of at least 75% of our assets in metropolitan
          areas

     Be #1 or #2 in our county-seat towns;

     Low-cost retail deposits in county-seat towns (where asset
     growth is slower) fund and help drive our asset growth in
     metropolitan areas.
