Waycross, Georgia - March 2025: First Southern Bank, Waycross, GA proudly acknowledges that it has, once again, received a 5-Star Superior rating from BauerFinancial, the Nation’s Premier Bank Rating Firm. A 5-Star Superior rating indicates that First Southern Bank is one of the strongest banks in the nation, excelling in areas of capital, loan quality, profitability and more. This marks the 5th consecutive quarter that First Southern Bank has earned this top rating.
“A lot of things are changing”, reflects Karen L. Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “Rules and regulations are being retooled, technology is advancing at lightning speed, and it’s easy to feel like you’re getting lost in the fray,” she continues. “People don’t want to feel like that at their bank. When they walk into a branch, they want to feel confident that their deposits are safe, that all rules are being followed, and that their banker understands their specific needs. That’s why it’s so important to have 5-Star rated (Superior) banks, like First Southern Bank, in our communities. We can be confident that they have our hard-earned deposits properly secured.”
First Southern Bank was established in 1907 and has been meeting the specific needs of the people in the communities it serves for 118 years. You can be proud to call First Southern Bank your bank.
