FORT SMITH, Ark. – Jan. 21, 2024 – Regions Bank and Fort Smith Regional Chamber of Commerce leaders last Thursday cut the ribbon on a new, cutting-edge banking location serving the River Valley. The celebration occurred at Regions Bank’s Fort Smith Main branch in the heart of the West Garrison Avenue Historic District.
“The Fort Smith Regional Chamber of Commerce congratulates Regions Bank on the ribbon cutting of their new location on Garrison Avenue,” said Tonya Sarlls, vice president of Operations with the Chamber. “We are honored to be part of this special day and thrilled to see Regions continue its presence in downtown Fort Smith.”
We’ve completely reimagined the customer experience at our Fort Smith Main location with a nod to the past and a focus on the banking future.
Opening its doors in December, the relocated Regions branch at 524 Garrison Ave. combines the classic look of the area’s historic surroundings with modern technology features to elevate convenience and service.
“We’ve completely reimagined the customer experience at our Fort Smith Main location with a nod to the past and a focus on the banking future,” said Rob Fann, branch manager. “Our team looks forward to delivering the personalized service we’re known for while introducing the newest banking tools and resources available for our customers to leverage.”
Those resources include interactive tablets for Regions bankers to guide customers through their free, personalized Regions Greenprint® plan.

Along with the bank’s investment in branch technology and the Fort Smith business community, Regions also made an investment in the area’s philanthropic community at the ribbon cutting by presenting a $5,000 donation to BOST, Inc., a nonprofit serving people with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
