The health and well-being of our customers, team members, and communities continues to be our top priority, which is why we are implementing additional precautionary measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
Effective Monday, March 23rd, 2020, all Southern Bank locations will temporarily suspend lobby access and primarily operate as drive-thrus. We have set a tentative lobby re-open date of Monday, April 6th, 2020. This, of course, may be extended as we continue to monitor the situation based on the guidance of health authorities. In addition, certain lobby visits will be offered by appointment only (see “By Appointment Banking Option” below).
Our online and mobile services, ATMs/ITMs, and telephones all remain available to our customers and community members.
Thank you for your understanding over this time period as we adapt to a quickly changing environment. Your trust and confidence are extremely important to us. We remain committed to you, our customer. Your bank is well capitalized with ample liquidity to meet your needs and the needs of our communities.
We understand that some of our clients may be experiencing hardships due to the current situation and we are prepared to discuss how we might be able to help with your needs. Please call (855) 452-7272 to discuss your options with a Southern Bank team member.
