Health & Safety Amid COVID-19
The health and well-being of SouthStar Bank employees, community, and customers are our primary concern. While there is currently no foreseen impact to the Bank’s operation of services, we continue to closely monitor and evaluate developments of COVID-19 (also known as Coronavirus) and follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and local health and government authorities.
There are several precautionary measures we are taking to ensure we safely manage through this situation while continuing to serve our community and customers effectively.
