Southern First Goes Digital
 As Southern First continues to enhance our ClientFIRST® service, we are utilizing
the latest technology to make banking more convenient for our clients with
DesktopFIRST® and Online Banking/Bill Pay.
DesktopFIRST® technology provides a
business with the ability to quickly and
securely deposit checks directly into
an account without leaving the desk
or the office! This “remote deposit
capture” technology utilizes a secure
internet connection along with a desktop
check scanner and software.
Our FREE ATM service is another
money-saving ClientFIRST® advantage.
Southern First clients can access
funds at over one million ATMs
throughout the United States.
Anywhere, anytime, it’s
always free with Greenville First!
The newly-upgraded Online Banking/Bill Pay service gives clients immediate access to their accounts
to transfer funds or pay bills. Clients can receive FREE monthly electronic statements and monitor all
account activity online. Our new “My Bills” home page provides one-click access to bank messages, bills,
payees, payment history, and reminders. The “Payee Set Up Wizard” lists common payees in the area
(eliminating the time required to enter addresses and phone numbers), and schedules payment methods,
email reminders, and recurring payments. The “Change of Address/Move Service” creates notifications
to payees of new or updated addresses, giving clients the flexibility to mail these letters at their convenience.
Take advantage of the “Pop Up Calendar” to schedule payments quickly and easily. For more details, visit
our website at southernfirst.com.
Save time, money, and postage by taking advantage of these helpful technologies. As always, our vision is to
provide a unique value to clients and shareholders through a winning team of professional bankers guided by
Christian principles.
