Regions makes it easier to manage your checking account.

We’re committed to helping you make informed financial decisions. That’s why we simplified how we process and communicate with you about your account balances. We want you to have the information you need to manage your finances, right when you need it. An enhanced view of your balances can help you avoid overdrafts and fees.

View of the funds available for you to spend or withdraw right now.

Update your available balance as we receive your transactions throughout the day. The balance you see includes everything we know about your checking account activity (even pending checks that have been presented for payment against your personal account).

Learn more about how pending checks clear my account.

We post transactions on your account at the end of the day.

We post credits and deposits first. Posting credits and deposits first helps to ensure that you’ll have the highest available balance before we post your debits and withdrawals. Next, we post withdrawals and apply any pending CheckCard authorization holds in the time and order we receive them. You’ll see the effective date for these changes based on the branch where your Personal, Private Wealth Management and/or non-personal business account is maintained.

We have amended the terms of the Regions Deposit Agreement to include more information on posting order and other scheduled changes.

Standard Overdraft Coverage

Decide if opting into Standard Overdraft Coverage is right for you. Opting in means we may authorize ATM and everyday CheckCard transactions into overdraft, and you’ll be charged an overdraft fee. Opting out means we may decline the item, but you won’t be charged the fee.¹

Paid Overdraft Item fee is $36 and is subject to change (fee for certain commercial accounts may be different). Fees may be imposed for any debit transaction that causes your account to be overdrawn, including by check, in-person or ATM withdrawal, CheckCard, or withdrawal/transfer by any other manual or electronic means. We reserve the right to require you to pay any overdraft immediately or upon demand. We also reserve the right not to pay overdrafts. We typically do not pay overdrafts if your account is not in good standing, you are not making regular deposits, or you have too many overdrafts. Standard overdraft coverage opt-in/opt-out options apply only to Regions personal banking customers. The Regions SafeGuard Checking account (currently available only in select markets) is subject to special terms and conditions regarding overdraft options, and those terms and conditions may differ from the information provided on this page and on pages that are linked to this page. SafeGuard Checking customers should refer to the terms and disclosures for the SafeGuard Checking account or talk to a Regions banker for information about overdraft options for SafeGuard Checking. Regions does NOT provide Standard Overdraft Coverage on the Now Checking account.
Credit cards are subject to personal credit approval and terms and conditions of the Credit Card Agreement.
Mobile Banking, Alerts, Notifications, Text Banking and Mobile Deposit require a compatible device and enrollment in Online Banking. All are subject to separate terms and conditions. Mobile Deposit is subject to fees. Your mobile carrier’s messaging and data fees may apply.
