Capitol Bancorp Limited is a publicly traded, multi-billion dollar company composed of a network of community banks located in towns and cities from coast to coast.

Capitol Bancorp identifies opportunities for the development of de novo community banks, raises capital and mentors the de novo bank through its formative stages. Its unique business model is structured so that each community bank has full local decision-making authority and is managed by an on-site president under the direction of a local board of directors composed of business leaders from the bank’s community.

Built on a set of core values where people - customers, shareholders and employees - are the priority, Capitol Bancorp has experienced steady, responsible growth since its founding in 1988. Capitol Bancorp currently has 47 individually chartered banks and bank operations in 13 states and has executive offices in Lansing, Michigan and Phoenix, Arizona.
