Stop in or call to speak with one of our knowledgeable staff about our different types of checking accounts.  We will be happy to help you find the type of account that fits your needs.

 

Savings Accounts

A Savings Account is for the customer who wants to earn interest on his or her money but has immediate access to it. Statements for a savings account can be tied to your checking account so you will get a monthly statement or they can be kept separate and a statement will print at the end of every quarter. 

We want to help you save for a rainy day!  Savings Accounts do have a minimum opening balance requirement and limited withdrawals, so please stop in or call to speak with one of our staff so we can explain these special conditions.
 

Health Savings Accounts

Health Savings Accounts (HSA) are a fairly new option for individuals or employers with high deductible health insurance plans to add affordability to their health care coverage.  These accounts offer tax-free benefits, year-to-year savings, contribution options, flexibility in spending and they earn interest.

 

There are certain Qualifications and Restrictions on Health Savings Accounts. Contact a Health Savings Account specialist to find out if a Health Savings Account is right for you.

 

Individual Retirement Accounts

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) are a great way for customers to save for retirement. 

IRAs are basically savings accounts with terms and variable interest.  We offer Traditional, ROTH, SEP, and SIMPLE Individual Retirement Accounts.  This type of account is subject to certain retirement account qualifications.

Stop in or call to speak with an IRA specialist to see if you qualify for an Individual Retirement Account.  We will be happy to help you decide which type of account is best for you.

 

Certificates of Deposit

Certificates of Deposits (CD) combine the security of a savings account with the higher interest associated with an investment. CDs are interest-bearing accounts with guaranteed fixed rates and a wide range of terms and interest payment options. Customers earn a guaranteed interest rate when funds are left in the account for a fixed period of time.  We offer terms of 1 month up to 60 months. We also periodically offer CD specials. Minimum opening deposit required.

​

Stop in or call to speak to a new account representative about our Certificates of Deposit.  The interest rates that we offer can change daily; to check out our current rates call your local branch.

South Central State Bank’s Visa Debit Card processor has introduced fraud protection for our cardholders.  It uses is a state-of-the-art program used to analyze specific factors about each transaction and rate the transaction on the likelihood of being fraudulent. Whenever high-risk transactions occur, the transaction will automatically be declined. A fraud specialist will notify you via text, phone call, or email that a potentially fraudulent transaction has been declined and provide you with the details. If the declined transaction is legitimate, the details will be made part of your card profile for future approval. If you receive a call and have further questions, please contact your local branch office. If you can provide prior notice of travel arrangements, we can alert your account record.  

​

South Central State Bank's Debit Card processor also provides us with Card Suite Lite. An app available through both the Google Play store and the Apple App Store.  This app let's you see your transactions in real time.  You can set alerts for all transactions, over a certain dollar limit, or even a certain location.  Through this app you can set your phone to be your location so when you are traveling only transactions where your phone is will be approved.  Through this app you can also turn your card off and on if you feel you need to investigate some transactions or if you leave your card behind and want to make sure no one uses it until you can get back to it.
