Regions was the first tenant to announce it would occupy space
in the 615 South College high-rise, and the company recently
reached an agreement to expand its initial space in the building.
Now, approximately 64,000 square feet of the building will house
Regions teams, giving the company’s bankers an ultra-modern work
environment custom-designed to meet the needs of highly specialized
financial professionals. Previously, Regions’ corporate-banking
teams in Charlotte had been divided among leased office space in
four separate buildings.
“We already have top-tier talent whose experience is crucial to
meeting the complex financial needs of a wide range of clients. Now
we have top-tier office space to support further growth of our
teams – and to help us reach more clients not only locally, but
also across the U.S.,” said Terry Katon, head of Capital Markets
for Regions Bank. “This is a major milestone in our growth, and we
look forward to further expansion in the years to come.”
Regions’ space at 615 South College was designed to accommodate
future growth as the company recruits additional talent to serve a
growing list of clients. Regions is also launching a Sales and
Trading operation within 615 South College. The bank’s Sales and
Trading area will occupy a dedicated space adjacent to the space
occupied by corporate-banking teams and other personnel.
Robert Heffes will serve as head of Regions’ Sales and Trading
team. A veteran of over 25 years in financial services, Heffes
joined Regions in April 2016 and will lead a team that helps
Regions offer a more complete array of expertise and services to a
diverse range of clients.
“The addition of Sales and Trading is a natural extension of
Regions’ comprehensive financial services, and it allows us to take
a more holistic approach to meeting the needs of current and future
clients,” said Ronnie Smith, head of Regions’ Corporate Banking
group. “Robert brings a unique set of skills and expertise to this
role that will benefit our clients and complement the work of our
existing banking teams.”
In addition to Capital Markets, Corporate Banking, and Sales and
Trading teams, the 615 South College workspace will house
executives and associates from Regions’ Specialized Industry group,
as well as the Real Estate Banking division, Commercial Banking,
Consumer Lending, Mortgage, Private Wealth Management and other
lines of business.
Further, a retail-banking branch is under development on the
main level of 615 South College.
Designed to become one of the most modern branches in Regions’
footprint, the 615 South College branch will blend updated
technology with personal service. Its design will not include a
traditional teller line. Instead, customers will be greeted
personally by Regions bankers who can each deliver a complete array
of branch-banking services.
In addition, 615 South College will become the first Regions
location in North Carolina to offer Regions Video Banking.
A Video Banking ATM in the building’s lobby – as well as an
additional Video Banking ATM on the building’s exterior – will
connect people with experienced Regions Video Bankers via live,
two-way video. Video Bankers can process most teller transactions
while also helping people with account maintenance and general
inquiries. Video Bankers are available during extended hours on
weeknights, Saturdays, Sundays and most holidays.
“While we continue to grow our digital banking options, branches
are still the primary place where people prefer to open accounts
and have in-depth discussions about personal financial goals,” said
Michelle Walters, Regional Consumer Banking Executive for Regions.
“We are proud to build on our growth in Charlotte by expanding our
branch-banking presence here as well. This is a vibrant, thriving
community and an ideal location for us to reach more people with
Regions’ industry-leading customer experience.”
Regions is also adding two standard-service ATMs to the Lynx
Blue Line platform adjacent to 615 South College. The ATMs and bank
branch are expected to be available to customers beginning in the
third quarter of 2018.
Regions’ Corporate Banking Group serves public and private
companies throughout the bank’s geographic footprint as well as
across the United States through its Specialized Industry groups.
Regions Capital Markets, a division of Regions Bank, provides
products and services including syndicated loan facilities,
interest rate, commodity and foreign exchange risk hedging.
