BOK Financial acquiring First United for $43M

First United has one branch in Colorado Springs, at 1310 United Heights near Interquest Parkway and state Highway 83, and 10 branches in Denver. The deal is expected to close by the end of June but is subject to regulatory approval.

BOK bought Colorado Funding Co. and its subsidiary, Colorado State Bank and Trust, in September 2003 for $81.7 million. Colorado State Bank and Trust has six branches in Colorado. The First United purchase will bring BOK to 17 branches in Colorado.

First United has assets of $173 million and Colorado State Bank and Trust has assets of more than $1 billion. BOK has $18 billion in assets, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

The deal comes as a surprise, because First United adamantly criticizes other banks on its Web site that are owned by companies headquartered in other states.
