Disaster Relief:

Marta Self, executive director of the Regions Foundation, said the $250,000 total will be divided among several agencies meeting short- and long-term needs. Initial grants from the $250,000 total will include:

“Nonprofits and relief organizations are doing incredible work addressing urgent needs, and through these grants, our focus at the Regions Foundation is to provide resources that will support their real-time response to the storm,” Self said. “Additional needs will develop as our communities rebuild stronger, and the Regions Foundation will be there to support ongoing work well into the future. We also encourage people and businesses who are in a position to donate to consider how they, too, can support nonprofits that are on the front lines of helping people impacted by Hurricane Ida.”

Special Bank Services:

Regions Bank is currently assessing impacts to its branch network in areas affected by the storm. While the reopening timeframe for individual branches in the most severely impacted areas will evolve in the coming days, banking services remain available around the clock through Regions.com and the Regions Mobile App. Services are also available by calling 1-800-REGIONS or specific departments within the bank as listed below.

Steve Nivet, Consumer Banking regional executive for Regions Bank, said the company worked quickly to develop customized disaster-recovery services for consumers and businesses alike. In addition, one of the most valuable ways the bank will make a difference, he said, is by listening to customers’ unique needs.

“Regions Bank will stand with our customers and communities as we recover from Ida together,” Nivet added. “These are the communities where our teams live and work. In addition to their local experience, they are backed by the strength of our entire organization. For many years, we have helped people and businesses recover following natural disasters, and we are ready to serve with compassion and understanding.”

4New business loan and personal unsecured loan rate discounts may not be combined with other special offers or discounts. Interest will accrue during the optional 90-day payment deferral period for unsecured business loans if elected.
