By Nestor Mato | September 1, 2023

Regions Bank announced a series of financial services to help people and businesses impacted by Hurricane Idalia. The services cover a wide range of communities¹ throughout affected areas in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.

“Our branches are back up and running, and our teams are ready to welcome customers, listen to their needs, and identify ways we can help,” said Steve Nivet, Regions’ Consumer Banking regional executive serving Florida and additional states. “While most of the communities where we operate escaped the worst of Idalia’s impacts, flooding and high winds were widespread, so we’re offering these services to help make the cleanup and recovery easier.”

Special Bank Services:

Disaster-recovery financial services that are now in effect for a limited time in the impacted areas¹ include:

• Regions Mortgage Disaster Relief Purchase and Renovation loan programs

• Personal and business loan payment assistance³
• Payment deferrals for current credit card holders³

“Our teams not only work but live in communities that are affected. With the support and resources of the entire Regions Bank organization, we will do everything we can to quickly recover,” said Sharon Hightower, Regions’ Consumer Banking regional executive serving Georgia, South Carolina and additional states. “As large as the affected areas are, so is the outpouring of support.

²The FEMA check no-check-cashing-fee offer is available only to Regions customers; if you are not a Regions customer, you must enroll in Regions Now Banking. No checking account is required to enroll in Now Banking. Regions reserves the right to refuse to cash any check.

³May be subject to credit approval. Interest will continue to accrue during the period that the payment is skipped or deferred. For installment loans, deferring or skipping payment may extend the maturity of your loan but will not automatically extend any optional insurance. Forbearances, skipped payments and deferrals (a) may vary by customer, (b) postpone – rather than forgive – certain payment obligations and (c) may require payment in full of the postponed payments at the end of the forbearance or deferral period, in addition to any other amounts that come due, unless you make other arrangements with Regions to resolve the delinquency.

⁴New personal unsecured loan rate discounts may not be combined with other special offers or discounts.
