About South Central Bank
South Central Bank traces its roots to 1889, when Deposit Bank of Monroe County was first chartered in rural Kentucky; in 1972, founder James Kenneth Bale acquired the institution and, building on its 83-year legacy of service, established South Central Bank with a commitment to true community-centered banking for the families, individuals, and businesses it serves. That commitment was demonstrated during the recent pandemic, when South Central Bank provided more than $160 million in funding to help over 3,300 small businesses remain operational, preserving countless jobs and helping communities across Kentucky weather the economic downturn. Guided by the belief that communities thrive when local businesses thrive, South Central Bank remains dedicated to serving as a trusted financial partner to its customers.
