SouthernTrust Bank was organized in 2005 as a commercial state bank. The organizers had a strong desire to establish a community-minded financial institution that would service its local communities with personal service. SouthernTrust Bank is a locally owned financial institution with offices in Marion, Goreville, and Vienna, Illinois. On May 27, 2005 SouthernTrust Bank was granted a charter and officially opened for business May 31, 2005. SouthernTrust Bank is set apart from most banks in Southern Illinois. It was built by the people of the community for the people of the community. This type of community focus is what the bank was founded on and still operates with today. If you are looking for a growing bank with the personal feeling of a small town bank then SouthernTrust is for you! OUR MISSION SouthernTrust Bank's mission is to exceed your expectations while providing safe and sound community banking.
