Regions Bank Re-opens Branches Following April 27 Tornadoes

Regions Bank (NYSE:RF) has re-opened all but three branches following the April 27 tornadoes impacting Alabama and other Southern states and has deployed a Regions Portable Branch Facility and a mobile ATM to serve Alabama communities most impacted by the storms.

Regions today deployed its Portable Branch Facility to the site of its damaged University Mall branch, located at 1501 McFarland Blvd. in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Regions’ Portable Branch, a converted RV with satellite connectivity, is a full-service bank branch. From the Portable Branch, customers can use on-site ATMs, complete transactions with a teller, open accounts, or talk to a banker on site. The Portable Branch Facility will be open for business beginning Wednesday, May 4 at 9 a.m. and will remain open during normal business hours indefinitely to serve the Tuscaloosa community.

Last week, Regions Bank deployed a mobile ATM to its South Parkway branch located at 2511 Memorial Parkway in Huntsville, Ala. to provide cash withdrawals and other services for individuals impacted by the storm and resulting power outages in the area. Over two days, some 800 transactions were completed at the mobile ATM.

Following the April 27 tornadoes, 54 Regions Bank branches were closed temporarily due to storm damage and power disruptions. The following three Regions Bank branch locations in Alabama remain closed:

East Tuscaloosa - 951 26th Ave. East, Tuscaloosa, Ala.
