Regions Financial Eyes 150 New Branches as Deposit Strength Supports Growth

Regions Financial (RF) plans to open 150 new branches, supported by strong deposit trends. CFO Anil Chadha reported steady loan growth, particularly in commercial sectors, and maintained guidance. The company expects 2% Q3 net interest income growth and full-year growth of 2.5% to 4%. Deposits are expected to be flat in Q3, but noninterest-bearing deposits are growing faster than peers. RF is investing in AI and technology, with a deposit-system conversion underway.
