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.
