Each Friday during January, various Regions branches across the
Southeast, Midwest and Texas will host events offering financial
checkups and one-on-one financial education for customers and
non-customers alike. Further, Regions bankers will be available, as
always, to help people develop their own financial roadmap toward
accomplishing their personal objectives.
In addition, Regions will use its digital channels to share more
financial education online and through social media. Updated video
content will illustrate how people can take charge of their
financial futures. Additional material shared via @RegionsNews on
Twitter and Regions’ news website – regions.doingmoretoday.com –
will highlight the benefits of conducting a fresh financial
review.
“This is the sixth year we’ve offered Financial Fitness Fridays,
and while we continue to find new ways to share financial
education, our goals remain the same: to help people learn how to
save more, spend smarter and plan for the future,” said Rick
Swagler, head of External Affairs for Regions Bank. “Simple habits
can help your money grow. Our bankers have insight on how to make a
spending plan – and stick to it. Through Financial Fitness Fridays,
Regions connects with people online and one-on-one to deliver the
types of information that can make a meaningful difference.”
Financial Fitness Fridays always takes place during January;
it’s when many people are rebuilding accounts after the holidays or
carrying out New Year’s resolutions to save more money. However,
Regions’ commitment to financial education is year-round.
Among examples:
- The Insights section of Regions.com is
constantly updated with informative content for everyone from
students to retirees to people who are somewhere in between.
- The Insights section also has
information for people going through financial hardships or
preparing to buy a car or a home.
- Regions is expanding its partnership
with the nonprofit Operation HOPE to support more financial
empowerment centers that provide free financial counseling,

community members.

underserved areas.
- Regions supports a variety of financial
education opportunities for students at the elementary, middle and
