Certificates of Deposit

Grow interest over time.

A certificate of deposit (CD) is a great option for your business if you are able to leave funds untouched for a set time while it grows interest. Choose your term from our available options and decide how much money to deposit. Along with earning interest, the account is insured up to FDIC limits. The CDARS program is available for account balances over $250,000.¹

CDs offer these great benefits:

  • Fixed rates, usually above standard savings.
  • Longer terms typically offer higher interest rates.
  • Locked-in rates provide a guaranteed rate of return.
  • No setup or maintenance fees.
  • $1,000 minimum deposit to open.
  • Check periodically for special promotions.

Early withdrawal subject to penalty.

Money Market Platinum accounts also come with these EXTRA features:


ICS/CDARS

FDIC insurance over the $250,000 maximum. 2

Southern Bank offers smart, profit-enhancing deposit solutions through Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) service and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS). Both ICS and CDARS allow you access to all of your funds at one financial institution offering FDIC insurance above the $250,000 maximum.

How does it work?
It is as simple as completing a Deposit Placement Agreement, deposit your funds, and we handle the rest.

When we place your deposit through the ICS or CDARS service, your deposit is divided into amounts under the standard FDIC insurance maximum of $250,000. The individual amounts are placed in demand deposit accounts (using ICS) or CDs (using CDARS) at multiple banks. Keeping track of these individual deposits is easy. You’ll receive one consolidated statement from us listing information for all of your deposit accounts. It’s a simple, time-saving solution that won’t have you running around town opening accounts at different institutions or trying to maintain multiple banking relationships.

Earn Interest: Earn one interest rate for funds placed into demand deposit accounts through ICS or into CDs with CDARS. You won’t have to keep track of interest rates for each individual account.

Peace of Mind: You can rest assured knowing that your funds are eligible for multi-million-dollar FDIC insurance protection that is backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government.

Save Time: Work directly with us - a bank you know and trust - to access multi-million-dollar FDIC insurance. We’ll handle any legwork between institutions.
