Regions Personal Pay^SM FAQs

Regions Personal Pay is a secure way to send money from your eligible Regions deposit account to anyone with a bank account in the United States.

As a Regions Online Banking customer, all you need to send a personal payment is the email address or mobile phone number of the person to whom you wish to send funds. After you schedule a payment, the recipient is sent an email or text message with instructions to claim the funds. If the recipient is already enrolled in the Popmoney network, the funds can be deposited into their account in as little as one business day.

For more information regarding terms and conditions of use please see the Electronic Banking Agreement & Disclosure Statement and the Personal Pay Addendum.

If you are an Online Banking customer of Regions, you already have access to Personal Pay. If money is sent to you and it matches the email address you have on file at Regions, the funds will be deposited into your checking or money market account. To send money, simply select the "Personal Pay" links from within Online Banking.

Log in to Regions Online Banking, and select "Personal Pay" from the Payments tab. Enter the amount you wish to send. Send to the recipient's email or mobile phone, or directly to their bank account. You may also include a short message to the recipient if you wish. Once completed, a message goes out to the recipient's email or mobile phone stating that you have sent them money. The money is debited from your account the day payment is sent. If the recipient does not claim the money within 10 days, the money will be credited back to your account.

Any time you send a Personal Pay payment, the money is debited from your account the day the payment is sent. If the recipient does not claim the money within 10 days, the money will be credited back to your account.
