As another part of its company-wide commitment to financial advice, guidance and education, Regions is also expanding its popular My GreenGuide online financial resource center to help people save, plan, and make smarter financial decisions. My GreenGuide, an online financial resource center, is available at regions.com/advice and features tips, advice, articles, and calculators on a variety of financial topics, including:

• Budgeting

In addition to events such as Financial Fitness Fridays and tools such as My GreenGuide, Regions Bank works closely with community partners and non-profit organizations to provide financial education resources to students and adults. As an example, since 2010 Regions Bank has worked with Everfi, a leading education technology company, to provide free online financial education courses to students and Regions Bank customers through the Regions Financial Learning Center. Customers interested in taking advantage of this complimentary financial education program are encouraged to visit any Regions Bank branch to receive information on the Regions Financial Learning Center, along with a personalized code to access the training online.
