Regions
Bank (NYSE:RF) is stepping up its efforts to help consumers and
business owners focus on their financial fitness. Every Friday during
the month of January, select Regions Bank locations across 16 states
will host in-branch financial fitness events covering a wide range of
important topics such as budgeting, borrowing, identity protection,
investing, estate planning and more. More information about Financial
Fitness Fridays, including a list of participating locations, is

“Through events like these, as well as a whole range of other tools,
resources and personal advice we provide, we’re encouraging people of
all ages and life stages to take the steps to ensure their long term
financial success,” said John Owen, head of Business Lines for Regions
Bank. “Providing this important guidance and information is vital to
helping individuals and businesses make more informed financial
decisions that are good for our customers as well as their families,
employees, and communities.”
As another part of its company-wide commitment to financial advice,
guidance and education, Regions is also expanding its popular My
GreenGuide online financial resource center to help people save,
plan, and make smarter financial decisions. My GreenGuide, an online
financial resource center, is available at regions.com/advice
and features tips, advice, articles, and calculators on a variety of
financial topics, including:

non-profit organizations to provide financial education resources to
students and adults. As an example, since 2010 Regions Bank has worked
with Everfi, a leading education technology company, to provide free
online financial education courses to students and Regions Bank
customers through the Regions Financial Learning Center. Customers
interested in taking advantage of this complimentary financial education
program are encouraged to visit any Regions Bank branch to receive
