About South Atlantic Bank
As a state chartered bank, our primary regulator is the FDIC. We are also monitored and examined by the South Carolina Board of Financial Institutions.
Yes, deposit accounts at South Atlantic Bank are insured by the FDIC.
South Atlantic Bank was organized in 2007 by a group of Grand Strand business leaders to meet the needs of small to medium businesses and their owners. The bank’s founders recognized that the growing number of larger regional banks in the market had created an opportunity for a locally owned and operated community bank to succeed. The bank opened its doors for business on November 28, 2007, and opened a branch in Murrells Inlet the following year.
Yes, South Atlantic Bank is truly locally owned and operated. Our board consists of local business people and bank executive officers who live and work in the communities we call home. Our executive officers have a lifetime of banking experience along the coastal South Carolina market and the majority of our shareholders reside here as well.

goMobile Banking App
South Atlantic Bank goMobile works with any web-enabled mobile phone device whose network allows secure SSL traffic. If your phone is not web-enabled or if your mobile network does not allow secure SSL traffic, it may not work with the app. You may need to contact your carrier to determine if its network allows secure SSL traffic.
With South Atlantic Bank goMobile, you can
- Check your account balances
- View transactions
- Transfer funds between enrolled accounts
- Pay bills with Bill Pay
- Report a card lost or stolen
- Suspend a card that is misplaced or out of reach
- Set up and view account alerts

When you enroll in goMobile Text Banking, you can send the bank a text to learn your account balance for a specific account or for all your enrolled accounts. You can also text to see the last 4 transactions on a specific account or for all your enrolled accounts. The mobile text service is free, but your carrier’s standard rates may apply.
If you have elected to receive text alerts, each time you make a transfer or bill payment, a confirmation Text Message is sent to your mobile device. If you do not receive a confirmation text message, double check to make sure the transaction went through via NetTeller.
Visit SouthAtlanticBank.com and log into NetTeller. Then Select Options > Mobile Settings > De-select Activate Mobile Banking Access > Click Agree.
Because your account data is not stored on your mobile device, your information cannot be stolen. When you replace your device, simply edit your Mobile Settings in NetTeller and make any changes to the Wireless Provider and/or Phone Number.
No. Functionality in the mobile banking app is limited to sending payments to already established payees in NetTeller. To add a new payee, log in to NetTeller, select Bill Payment, and follow the instructions. You will then be able to submit payments to that payee via your mobile device in the future.
When you complete a transaction from your mobile device (bill payment, funds transfer, etc.) you will receive a Text Message as confirmation that the transaction was successful. If you do not receive this message due to a dropped call or lost signal, check your accounts and re-submit any transactions that did not process.
If you simply get a new phone but keep the same phone number and provider, no changes on your part are necessary. If you switch providers and/or phone numbers, log in to your NetTeller account via the Internet and update your information on the Options > Mobile Settings page. You will not receive text messages regarding Mobile Banking transactions if your phone number is not correct.
goMobile does not have search capabilities, but you will be able to view 15 days’ worth of transaction history on your mobile device. To view transactions beyond 15 days, use NetTeller Online Banking.
Yes. You can access your accounts via any mobile device that is web-enabled and allows secure SSL traffic. The only difference is that text messages will be sent to the phone number entered when you enrolled in mobile banking, not the device from which you perform a transaction.
You must log in to the internet-based NetTeller Online Banking ID and delete the payment from the main menu of the Bill Pay module.
Check your phone’s settings to make sure you don’t have alpha-only enabled on the keypad.
goMobile Text Banking
No. Enrollment for Mobile Text must be completed within your traditional NetTeller site.
During the enrollment process, you must designate a mobile short name for each enrolled account. This short name must be included in the text request to get account specific information.
For example, to learn the account balance for an account with the short name of “Ours” you would text the following: Ours bal to 89549. Remember that texts are not case sensitive.
Un-enrollment can be accomplished in one of two ways. You can log in to your traditional NetTeller site and de-select the enroll option or you can text STOP to 89549.
smsGuardian
Full cardholder information is NEVER included in a text. The last four digits of the card number are displayed in the text. The short message service is Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant.
If no confirmed response is received within 12 hours, the text message expires and smsGuardian considers the transaction valid. You need to respond to a text only if you did not make the transaction in question.
The beginning of the text message will feature the initials SAB for South Atlantic Bank. These initials are also known as the bank’s short name. The message will also include the last 4 digits of the card used, along with the dollar amount of the transaction. You need to respond only if you DID NOT make the transaction. Reply exactly as directed.
A “NO” response receives the highest priority in the Risk Management/Fraud department and the next available fraud analyst will receive the case and block the card.
A renewal notification will be sent to each device you have enrolled in the service six days prior to the yearly expiration date. Three renewal attempts will be made before the service is set to expire. If you do not respond, the device is removed from smsGuardian at expiration. You can renew for multiple years simply by clicking the renewal button and responding as instructed. The mobile service providers Sprint, Nextel, Boost, and Virgin require that we remind cardholders every 30 days of their enrollment in smsGuardian. If you use one of these service providers, you will receive a notice every 30 days. The alert message will display as: “Reminder: You have subscribed to Guardian transaction alerts for South Atlantic Bank. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help. Reply STOP to cancel.”
There are three ways to get help: 1) reply to any text from smsGuardian with the word HELP, 2). Visit the smsGuardian website for the “Service Usage Guide” link, or 3) call (888) 868-8611.
Any messages created during this Do-Not-Disturb timeframe would be delivered starting at 6 a.m. when you are receiving messages.
Apple Pay®
It’s FREE!
You can use Apple Pay® on your iPhone (6 or higher with iOS 8.1 or higher), and your iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac, as long as they have the most recent operating systems. Go to www.apple.com/apple-pay for detailed information.
You can add your South Atlantic Bank MasterCard Debit Card and your South Atlantic Bank credit cards.
You can add up to eight cards per device and they need to be added to each device separately. In other words, adding a card to one device does not add them to all.
It’s very easy to add cards to your Wallet.
For iPhone:
- To add your South Atlantic Bank debit card for Apple Pay® use, simply open to the Wallet app on your iPhone 6 or higher running iOS 8.1 or higher and follow the steps to add a new card. If you have a South Atlantic Bank card already set up with iTunes, all you need to enter is the security code on the back of the card.
- Tap next. Your information will be verified. If more information is needed, you will be prompted for it. When you have the information, go to Settings>Wallet & Apple Pay® and tap your card.
- After your information is verified, tap next.
- Do this for each debit card you want to add.
You will follow a very similar process for adding cards to your Wallet on the following devices:
- For your iPad: Go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay® and follow the steps.
- For your Apple Watch: Open the Watch App on your iPhone, tap Wallet & Apple Pay® and follow the steps.
- For your Mac: Go to System Preferences > Wallet & Apple Pay, tap your card, and follow the steps.
The first card you add is automatically set as the default card which means it’s the first card used when making a purchase. It is easy to change the default by going to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay, tapping Default Card and choosing the card you want to pay with.
Apple Pay® is the new way to pay online and at grocery stores, shops, restaurants, hotels, and more! For a complete list, go to www.apple.com/apple-pay.
At checkout, a special chip in the phone, called a near-field communication chip (NFC), communicates with the merchant’s reader to send the payment wirelessly.
South Atlantic Bank takes safety and security very seriously as does the Apple Pay® system. Here are several safety measures in place for use of Apple Pay.
- Your Wallet can only be accessed using your Touch ID, which is your fingerprint stored in your settings.
- Apple Pay® doesn’t store the card numbers on your device.
- Neither the merchant nor Apple® see your card numbers.
- Our fraud monitoring service is on the job, monitoring transactions whether they are made using the physical card or Apple Pay®.
Yes. You will need to first delete the old card and then add the new card. This rule applies even if the old and new card have the same number.
For lost or stolen credit cards, call Credit Card Customer Service at 1.800.367.7576. When you call, mention that the card is linked to Apple Pay. Remove the card in question from Apple Pay® and add your new card when it arrives.
For lost or stolen debit cards, contact your South Atlantic Bank office during business hours, or log onto NetTeller Online Banking to block the card.
For a lost or stolen device, notify your carrier and then call the number on the back of your credit or debit card. Mention that the card(s) is linked to Apple Pay® so the card can be removed from the service. In the event you locate the device, you will need to add the card back to Apple Pay®.
It is important that you do this immediately to limit any liability for these transactions.
For South Atlantic Bank credit cards, contact Credit Card Customer Service at 1.800.367.7576.
For South Atlantic Bank debit cards, contact your local branch.
Again, it is important that you do this immediately to limit any liability for these transactions. For details, review the cardholder agreement you received with your credit card or the electronic funds transfer agreement you received when you opened your account(s) with us.
Online Security
Regulation E provides rules for error resolution and unauthorized transactions for individual consumers’ electronic fund transfers and establishes limits to the consumer’s financial liability for unauthorized transactions. These limits are based on the timely detection and reporting of issues to South Atlantic Bank. Please actively monitor your accounts and immediately report any suspicious activity to South Atlantic Bank at 843.839.0100 or to your local branch.
- Never give out your usernames, passwords, SSN or date of birth. Please know, we will never ask you to provide your access ID, password or other log-in credentials over the phone or via email.

- Create strong, unique passwords using letters, numbers and symbols
- Do not use the password auto-save feature on your browser
- Logout of NetTeller online banking when your online banking session is over
Nonconsumer (or business) accounts are not protected by Reg E, which limits financial liability for unauthorized electronic transactions. Business clients should implement periodic risk assessments and an evaluation of the controls in place to help minimize risk, including the following:
- Manage administrative access to business accounts
- Segregate duties among employees so that no one person can perform all steps of a financial transaction online
- Implement layered security using multiple controls including transaction thresholds, out-of-band verification (telephone or email verifications), fraud detection and monitoring systems, and IP reputation-based services
