Insurance Issues

While it convenient to have insurance solutions conducted through a bank, there are some issues with the Regions service. There are individual, property, vehicle, and life insurance options available. Customers can utilize overdraft protection and safe deposit boxes. The insurance is not backed by the FDIC and is not actually done through Regions. Instead it is conducted through an affiliate of Regions Bank, known as Regions Insurance, Inc.

We left Wells Fargo because of poor service and the attentive and excellent staff at Regions have shown we should have switched years ago. They listen, help, are sensitive and understanding. I'm a customer not a number, a person with a situation not a problem to be solved with an algorithm. They care

I got a loan from this bank and although the agent was very nice, there were errors made by the Bank in processing this loan that delayed the loan for 2 months! I had authorized no escrow and the processing team added this to the loan and then it had to be corrected. Also, the money sent to one credit card was sent via mail and the check got lost. Regions Bank did not want to send the money in a secured format. It was so stressful trying to correct this. It took about 5 hours of my time. Absolute nightmare! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BANK. They do not double check their work and make it difficult for customers to work with them.

I absolutely LOVE Regions! I recommend them all the time. I have used them for about 6 years. Their customer service is wonderful, and they have no fees associated with their accounts.
