First Time Action Items:
After logging in, complete these important setup steps:
- Activate your new security token. Download the Symantec VIP app and call Southern Bank Customer Care at 1.855.275.7226. Select option 3 and provide your Credential ID so our team can connect your token credential to your profile.
- Confirm your ACH and wire information transferred as expected before completing time-sensitive transactions.
- Review and process Positive Pay and ACH Positive Pay exceptions, if applicable. The new cutoff time is 1:00 PM for all clients.
- Re-establish recurring or future-dated transactions as needed. Your existing ACH and wire payees will remain available, although recurring activity associated with those payees may still need to be set back up.
- Confirm users and permissions are set up correctly and review your account and security alerts under Alerts > Alert Settings.
- Reconnect outside applications, if applicable. If you use a software or accounting platform connected to your digital banking credentials, re-establish the sync within your software or accounting program by reconnecting your credentials.
Mobile App (Soft Token) Users: Download the Symantec VIP app and call our Customer Care Team at 1.855.275.7226. Select option 3 and provide your Credential ID so our team can connect your token credential to your profile. Complete this step before your first login to ensure your token is connected and ready to use. For additional guidance, see “Enabling Soft Token” in the Treasury Resources below.
Physical (Hard Token) Users: Keep your physical token secure and available for your first login. For additional guidance, see “Enabling Hard Token” in the Treasury Resources below.
Before completing time-sensitive ACH or wire transactions, take a moment to confirm that your access, permissions, templates, and applicable services are set up as expected. For further guidance, see the Treasury Resources below.
Remote Deposit Capture Only Customers: If you only use Remote Deposit Capture, select “LOGIN” in the top right corner of SouthernBank.com, then choose “Remote Deposit Capture” from the drop-down menu.
If you have questions about your Treasury transition or specific services, call Customer Care at 1.855.275.7226 and select option 3 for guidance.
What to Expect From the New Experience
The upgraded platform is designed to make account management easier for both personal and business digital banking users on desktop and mobile devices.
Depending on the accounts and services you use, enhancements may include:
- A fresh, modern appearance with improved navigation
- A more consistent experience across online and mobile banking
- Personalized dashboards that prioritize the information most useful to you
- Easier connections to external accounts and transfers
- Credit score access and financial insights
- Improved self-service tools for login, account and preference management
- Stronger authentication, security and fraud-monitoring capabilities
- More connected access to eligible banking, credit card and wealth management information
Business and treasury clients will also benefit from a more streamlined login experience. Treasury users will no longer need to enter a separate company ID, making it easier to access accounts through one digital banking platform. You’ll also gain broader mobile capabilities and enhanced fraud-management tools.
What Will Stay the Same?
Several familiar services will remain available within the new digital banking experience. Bill Pay and Zelle® will continue to be available for business customers. Most customers will not need to recreate their existing Bill Pay setup or payee information.

Stay Alert for Fraud
Periods of change can create opportunities for scammers. Southern Bank will never contact you to request your password, full account credentials, or a one-time security code.
Be cautious of unexpected calls, emails, or text messages asking you to act immediately or follow an unfamiliar link. Access digital banking through the official Southern Bank website or the verified Southern Bank app listing in your device’s app store.
