Regions Financial is a large regional bank based in Birmingham, Alabama. It offers everyday banking services like checking accounts, savings accounts, loans, and credit cards to regular people and businesses. It also provides wealth management and insurance services, and it operates mainly across the South, Midwest, and Texas through roughly 1,300 branches.

Regions makes money primarily by collecting interest on loans — to homebuyers, businesses, and consumers — and by charging fees for banking services. It is one of the larger regional banks in the United States, competing with peers like Truist and Huntington. Regional banks like Regions depend heavily on interest rates set by the Federal Reserve, so a prolonged period of falling interest rates could squeeze the profit it earns on loans and put pressure on earnings going forward.
