Firstly, the bank has demonstrated a strong growth profile with an attractive footprint and a robust brand presence. It's worth noting that it is the 19th-ranked bank in the US in terms of total deposits, with approximately 70% market share in nearly 70% of the Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) across its 15-state footprint. Moreover, around 90% of the bank's deposits reside in the top 8 states by deposits, with an average consumer account balance of $5,200. The bank is strategically positioned for growth, with 13 of its 15 state footprint areas projected to have unemployment rates at or below the national average.
In terms of population growth, the bank's priority markets are expected to experience growth rates ranging from 4.2% to 8.3% from 2026 to 2031, outpacing the national average. The bank has been successful in these priority markets, with a proven track record of growth and a significant increase in deposits since 2019.
Additionally, the press release highlighted the bank's investments in technology and digital operations, with a focus on modernizing the customer experience and driving organic growth. Notably, the bank has seen a 75% increase in new relationship originations attributable to priority markets, driven by investments in commercial and treasury management talent.
Regions Bank has also been recognized for its exceptional workplace practices and customer service. It received multiple accolades, including being named a Gallup exceptional workplace award winner, a best place to work for disability inclusion, and ranked first in America's best customer service in 2025.
Financially, the bank has consistently generated top-quartile returns in its peer group and achieved a record year in wealth management and treasury management.
