Capital Position
A bank’s capital position is the leading indicator of safety and soundness of any bank. Bank capital serves as a buffer against any losses. Great Southern’s capital levels are categorized as “well capitalized” as defined by the Federal banking agencies’ capital-related regulations – the highest rating by regulatory capital measures.
FDIC Protection
The safest place to have your money is in a bank. FDIC insurance provides an additional backstop. Great Southern is an FDIC-insured bank, which means that deposits are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor. Since 1933, no depositor has ever lost a penny of FDIC-insured funds. Please visit the FDIC's website, FDIC.gov, for more information regarding how your deposits are protected.
