Log into Online Banking
For your convenience, if you were enrolled in online banking previously, we have enrolled you with the same Web Banking ID (or Username) and email.
Your password is NOT the same.
For those that had an online banking account with Arkansas County Bank, please use the Forgot your Password? link on the Southern Bancorp front page to reset your password.
If you have NEVER had online banking before (even at Arkansas County Bank) and would like to sign up, use the Enroll link below it.
We can help!
Our Customer Care Team is happy to help you with any issues or concerns. Please contact them at (800) 789-3428 during regular business hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM.
Here’s where you can find the login on the front page of BankSouthern.com (with the Forgot your password link circled).
Turn on Electronic Statements
Why?
Electronic Statements (or eStatements) are a safer and more sustainable way to get your monthly statements. You are sent an email to alert you that the statement is available for view. You can access the most recent statement, as well as other previous statements, through online banking.
When you sign up for eStatements you are agreeing to get online statements instead of your regular paper statements.
Not only will you be saving some trees, you may also be saving yourself some money!
Certain accounts waive the maintenance fees when you sign up for eStatements.
How do I sign up?
If you didn’t have an online banking account before, you will need to Enroll in Online Banking.
If you did have an online banking account, you just need to reset your password and log in.
You can then either follow the prompts on this How To Set Up eStatements page, or contact Customer Care to have them walk you through the process.
