You know the names of those big megabanks. The problem is, they don’t know yours. We are a community bank. Just like the name implies, we’re an integral part of the communities we serve — and have been since 1901. We’re large enough to provide today’s most innovative and convenient banking technologies, small enough to give our customers hometown service, and local enough to be a compassionate neighbor. So, why trust Southern Bank, your community bank, to be your financial partner?
That’s a good question. Here are the answers.
Community banking is good for business.
-
Banking decisions, like loans, are personal, not just a matter of number-crunching. We consider your business vision and local market factors.
-
Decision-making is local, so it’s fast and nimble — no multiple layers of bureaucracy to go through.
-
Rooted in the local business network, we’re here to help you expand and deepen your connections.
-
Personal and relationship-based, our solutions are customized for your distinct business banking needs.
Community banking is good for individuals.

You’ll experience a personalized approach with friendly, flexible service. We see you as a unique individual — a name, not a number.

Community banking is good for us all.
