Regions Bank also has a mobile smartphone app that allows customers to perform tasks like bill pay, account management, mobile deposit, and fund transfer while on the go.
Regions Bank is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, and is the largest bank in the state and one of the largest banks in the southeastern United States. It operates over a thousand branches across multiple states in the region. Regions Bank was originally established as the Exchange-Security Bank in 1928 before changing its name to First Alabama Bank of Birmingham in 1975. After a series of acquisitions and mergers, the bank expanded its operations to cover the majority of the Southeastern United States. In 1994, the bank changed its name to Regions in order to reflect their expanding operational presence.
You won't get the great rates like you might at an online bank, but for what it is, I think it's the best bank out there.
Regions has great locations in my town and easy to use application for the phone. I rarely even need to go to the branch now that I can deposit checks on my phone. It is so simple to check my balance and transfer money by using the app as well. Regions made it very simple to add my husband to our account without him being present.
Regions paltry returns on savings have made me seek a different bank. The mobile app allows for check depositing, but there are fees associated with it. The app feels clumsy to use compared with many of the online only banks. There are just too many better choices than to stick with Regions.
I deposited my check last Friday before 4pm and today is Tuesday and still my check hasn't been posted to my account. I called and was told that my check WOULD NOT go into my account until the 22nd. I need my money now. I had other problems with them before. This is it. Time to find another bank.
