About Great Southern Bancorp, Inc.
About Great Southern Bancorp, Inc.
Great Southern Bancorp held $5.60 billion in total assets as of December 31, 2025, funded by $4.48 billion in deposits and supported by $636.1 million in stockholders' equity, operating 88 full-service retail banking offices across six states including Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Arkansas, and Nebraska. Great Southern Bank, the company's primary subsidiary, is regulated by the FDIC and reported net loans of $4.36 billion.
Great Southern earns net interest income by originating commercial real estate, construction, multi-family, and residential loans, funding them through retail deposits, brokered certificates of deposit, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. Commercial real estate, construction, and other commercial loans together made up 78.3% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2025, while one- to four-family residential loans accounted for approximately 18%. The bank's largest deposit and loan concentrations sit in the Springfield and St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan areas, with additional loan exposure built through commercial loan production offices in Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, and Phoenix. Brokered deposits totaled $663.4 million and overnight Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings totaled $333.0 million at December 31, 2025, supplementing the bank's branch-gathered deposit base. Approximately 66% of the total loan portfolio carries adjustable interest rates, tying net interest income to the direction of Federal Reserve policy.
Show full overview
Great Southern's loan book carries geographic concentration risk beyond its home state: approximately $500.7 million, or 11.3% of the total loan portfolio, is commercial real estate secured by properties in Texas, originated through the Dallas loan production office, while St. Louis-area apartment and commercial real estate loans represent a further 16.0%, or $709.3 million. Because neither exposure is offset by an in-market retail deposit franchise of comparable size, a downturn concentrated in either the Dallas or St. Louis commercial property market could pressure asset quality without a corresponding funding-cost benefit from local deposit growth.
