Bank of the Commonwealth is now Southern Bank

Effective September 23, 2011, Southern Bank and Trust Company purchased most of the assets and assumed most of the deposits of Bank of the Commonwealth. We will operate as Southern Bank at the former Bank of the Commonwealth locations. We look forward to getting to know you and to assisting you with your banking needs.

Servicing of Your Accounts

Southern Bank has assumed responsibility for the administration of your deposit and loan accounts. You should not notice any disruption in your normal account activity, the processing of your account transactions or your relationship with your branch. For routine questions and customer service inquiries about your accounts and transactions, you may continue to use the same contact methods and phone numbers you formerly used.

Account Agreements, Disclosures and Forms

Southern Bank's acquisition of your accounts does not immediately affect the terms and conditions of your accounts. All account agreements, disclosures, forms and other documents governing your accounts continue to apply until we notify you otherwise. Southern Bank has assumed all rights and obligations of Bank of the Commonwealth under those documents. Although account documents and forms for existing and new accounts may continue to reference Bank of the Commonwealth for a period of time, Southern Bank is legally entitled to enforce those documents in Southern Bank's own name.
