It is the foundation for every customer relationship that we form. The result is that we create shared value for the customers and the communities we serve.
Shared value is at the core of our mission and our business strategy. It’s a simple idea: what we do as a business has to benefit our customers, our company and shareholders, and the communities where we operate. This is the path to a sustainable business; it’s how to make a decent profit in a decent way. There’s no reason to sell a product or service to a customer that they don’t want or need. The products and services we sell must be priced fairly so that they provide value to our customers and to the bank, while benefiting its shareholders appropriately. And ultimately, the products and services we sell must benefit our communities because the company will only be as strong as the communities we serve.

We’ll do this by providing expert financial advice, guidance and education to customers; by building well-developed business plans that we execute with discipline; by building on a foundation of integrity and trust throughout our business; by delivering excellent customer service and convenience; and by offering our associates the opportunity to grow professionally and work on an outstanding team.
Our values, mission and vision complement each other and work together to guide how we develop our business strategy.
The Regions Brand
Simply put, the Regions brand reflects Regions’ culture, values and mission. Yes, we are in the business of banking, but we are also in the business of life. And while our financial solutions will help customers get more from their money, it is our mission to help make life better – for our customers, our associates and our communities. By delivering the appropriate products, services and financial education with a commitment to best-in-class customer service, we believe we are creating shared value for our customers and helping them move their lives forward.
