- Focus on the Customer: Deliver exceptional service quality; understand customer needs; execute Regions360 to deepen customer relationships and recommend products and services that they need and want; practice fair and responsible banking.
- Strengthen Financial Performance: Grow and diversify revenue; generate positive operating leverage over time; deploy capital effectively.
- Build the Best Team: Retain and develop talent; strengthen associate engagement; connect job roles to company performance and success; approach work as one team, one bank, one Regions.
- Enhance Risk Management: Understand the risk we take and obtain appropriate compensation for that risk; ask every associate to take personal ownership and accountability for risk; proactively manage our strategy relative to emerging risks and regulatory expectations; optimize people, processes and technology to safeguard assets, ensure effective operations and identify risk.
- Manage Performance: Set clear expectations and direction; monitor success and hold associates accountable; close the gap of variability; measure performance consistently; coach associates and celebrate success.
Capital Deployment
Our deployment priorities are to return our dividend to a level more in line with peers, to invest in our businesses through organic and strategic growth, and to repurchase shares of common stock.
