UMB Bank, n.a., a subsidiary of UMB Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: UMBF), today announces it has been selected to serve as custodian for the Texas Cooperative Liquid Assets Securities System Trust (Texas CLASS), a local government investment pool established in 1996 that is available to all Texas municipalities, counties, school districts, authorities, and local government entities.

UMB will provide customized custody solutions for Texas CLASS. Public Trust Advisors serves as the Program Administrator for Texas CLASS. Founded in 2011, Public Trust is an independent investment advisor that specializes in managing and servicing the investment needs of local governments across the United States. With the selection of UMB, the bank’s relationship with Public Trust continues to expand as the firm also works with UMB’s Corporate Trust division.
