What Capitol Federal Financial does

Topeka, Kansas-based thrift focused mainly on residential mortgage lending across Kansas and Missouri.

Earns the spread between interest on a large portfolio of long-held fixed-rate home loans and what it pays on deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, so its margin tightens when funding costs rise faster than old loans reprice. It became fully publicly owned in a 2010 conversion from a mutual holding structure.
