Checking
Our checking accounts are designed to meet the needs of our customers. Find the one that is your perfect fit. All personal checking accounts allow access to your account by paper checks, debit cards, Internet Banking and the ATM. For more information on any of these accounts, please contact a customer service representative at any of our convenient locations.
Basic Checking
Our basic checking account is designed for a person who does not write a lot of checks or keeps a moderate balance in the account. You can open the account with a minimum deposit of $50.00. The monthly maintenance fee is $5.00 and the per debit charge is $.20, but you can avoid both charges by keeping a daily minimum balance of $500.00.
Flat Fee Checking
If your account has a lot of activity or maintains a low average balance, this is the solution for you. Open this account with a minimum deposit of $50.00 and enjoy unlimited check writing for a flat fee of $10.00 per month.
Student Checking
Students need an account that keeps up with a hectic schedule. Designed for full time students through the age of 22, Student Checking allows unlimited access to any South Georgia Banking Company ATM at no charge. The account can be opened with a minimum deposit of $50.00 and there is no minimum balance requirement, monthly maintenance fee or per debit charge.
Senior Checking + Interest
Senior Checking is for our customers age 50 and over. When you open your account with a minimum deposit of $50.00 you are entitled to several benefits: you will have no maintenance or per debit fees and you will be exempt from fees to purchase Travelers Checks and Cashiers Checks. This is an interest bearing account in which the interest rate is determined by the account balance tier formula. Ask our Customer Service Representative about competitive time deposit rates.
NOW Accounts
Choose this account for unlimited check writing and interest earnings on your balance. The interest rate and annual percentage yield are available on the Rate Chart at any banking location, and are subject to change at the bank's discretion. Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of non-cash items. Interest will be compounded monthly and will be credited to the account monthly. The monthly maintenance fee of $10.00 will not be charged if the daily collected balance does not fall below $1000.00.
Loans
South Georgia Banking Company handles both installment and single pay loans for consumers. We are very competitive on used vehicle financing, secured and unsecured consumer loans. Local lenders, local decisions, and flexible terms set us apart from other lenders. Give us a chance to earn your business.
Certificates of Deposit
For longer term investments with higher yields a South Georgia Banking Company Certificate of Deposit is your answer. Minimum deposit is $1000.00 and maturities range from 90 days to 3 years. Rates vary according to the terms selected, and you choose when interest is paid: monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or at maturity.
