Help & FAQsAt Regions, we are committed to helping you protect yourself from fraud. Should you encounter fraud, phishing scams or identify theft, we provide guidance on how to notify us and necessary steps to take toward resolving the issue quickly.
Dispute a Transaction
If you’ve noticed a suspicious or unauthorized charge on your account, it’s a good idea to contact us quickly to dispute the transaction. Learn more using our detailed guidance for what you need to know before contacting us, as well as what to expect during the process of disputing a transaction.
Lost or Stolen Cards
Report a lost or stolen card by immediately calling us at 1-800-REGIONS (1-800-734-4667) or visiting your local branch. You may also use Online Banking legal disclaimer number1 or the Regions Mobile App legal disclaimer number2 by choosing “Card Services” within the menu. We provide options to report a lost or stolen card and to order a replacement card. We will ensure that your current card is canceled and that a new card is sent via U.S. mail.
Also, while we work together to resolve the issue, consider blocking activity on your Regions credit card, Now Card or CheckCard using LockIt® legal disclaimer number3 within the Regions Mobile App.
Identity Theft
As soon as you realize that you may have been a victim of an identity theft, it is important to take immediate action. An aggressive response on your part may help reduce your exposure to financial loss.
Review your Regions account. You should first review all of your account transactions for any suspicious activity. If you have determined that your Regions accounts have been compromised, or you suspect that a Regions account exists that you did not open, please contact a Regions Banker at 1-888-987-6540.
Use our Identity Theft Kit. Should you become a victim of identity theft, or if you believe your Regions Bank account information may have been compromised, please download the Regions Identity Theft Kit (en Español) immediately. This is a free service that can help Regions customers restore their financial identity.
Contact your local police department. In the event of identity theft, it is important that you notify your local police department and file a report. Be sure to request a report number or a copy of the report for your records and, if necessary, to include with any affidavits you may need to provide.
Contact the Identity Theft Clearinghouse. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) maintains the Identity Theft Clearinghouse — the federal government’s centralized identity theft complaint database. We encourage you to contact them and report your identity theft. Visit the website or call toll-free at 1-877-438-4338.
In their continuing efforts to help resolve identity-theft-related problems, this information is shared with other government agencies, consumer reporting agencies and companies where the fraud was perpetrated.
Notify credit bureaus. It is highly recommended that you contact the three national consumer reporting agencies if you believe you have been a victim of identity theft. Ask each agency to place a “fraud alert” on your credit report and to send you a copy of your credit file.

Email Fraud, Phishing or Spoofs
Fraudulent emails and websites designed to elicit your personal information can be very sophisticated and deceiving. Fraudulent emails, known as “phishing," can look very similar to Regions communications. If you see suspicious emails or online requests asking for information or actions regarding your financial information, do not click on the links or reply to the message. If you believe that you have received or replied to a suspicious email and provided private information about your Regions account, please contact us immediately at 1-800-REGIONS (1-800-734-4667) or via email at phishing@regions.com.
