South Louisiana Bank is committed to providing the best in products and services to its customers. With this in mind, we are upgrading our technology and digital banking delivery platform in a major way in just a few weeks. On August 20th we will begin enhancements to our banking platform adding many new features and options!
Most changes will occur internally at the bank. However, during our conversion period August 20th to August 24th 2020 there will be some disruption in the services we offer to you. This page has been created to help make the transition as smooth as possible and to cover what we hope would be any and all questions that you may have during this process.
