The first Southern Bank

OUR STORY

ROOTED IN THE
COMMUNITY SINCE 1901.

Southern Bank is a community bank — always has been, always will be. Established in 1901, we’ve remained dedicated to serving our customers with the small-town attention they deserve while offering the most innovative and convenient banking technologies available. Like the communities we serve throughout Eastern North Carolina and Southeastern Virginia, we’ve grown steadily, thriving alongside our neighbors while remaining rooted in what matters most.

Amid an age of mega-banks and mergers, Southern Bank customers experience personal attention and peace of mind, whether doing online banking, using their VISA Check Card, or accessing our convenient ATM network or Customer Care Center. If you bank with us, we thank you and look forward to seeing you soon. If you don’t bank with us yet, we invite you to come by one of our many locations so we can get to know each other. 
 
Southern Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Southern BancShares (N.C.), Inc. With its Corporate Headquarters located in Mount Olive, North Carolina, the Bank has total assets over $4 billion and over 60 locations throughout Eastern North Carolina and Southeastern Virginia.
