Southeastern Bank is implementing a major technology upgrade that will transform your banking experience. The transition from our existing system to our new system begins the afternoon of Thursday, August 3rd and will be completed Monday, August 7th.

The information below is your guide to our new banking platform. We are excited about the enhancements our customers will enjoy after implementation is complete. The new platform means changes for internet banking, mobile banking and voice banking, as well as the timing of mailed statements and eStatements during the transition. Bill pay, debit cards and ATMs will not be affected.

As a Southeastern Bank customer, it is very important you read the information below to understand the rollout of the new platform, learn about the new login information, see what changes affect you and review the timeline.

New Platform Enhancements for Mobile and Online Banking include a more modern user interface for a better user experience, the availability of positive pay for commercial customers and in September, the ability to initiate Conversations within the app. Additional overall upgrades include easier onboarding of new deposit accounts in branches and by early 2024, the ability to open deposit accounts online.

Please read the sections below carefully, so you are prepared!
