ROGERS, Ark. – Dec. 9, 2021– Regions Bank on Thursday announced the latest addition to its Commercial Banking team serving Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

McConnell will also develop new relationships with companies in the Fort Smith River Valley and throughout Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

McConnell’s experience spans several areas ranging from portfolio management, to lending, business finance, and credit. He also served as a field examiner.

“Patrick brings a unique and valuable perspective to our clients and to our team from the variety of experience he has gained throughout his career,” said Jerry Vest, Commercial Banking leader and Northwest Arkansas market executive for Regions Bank. “That extensive experience, combined with Patrick’s commitment to building relationships with business leaders, make him a perfect fit for this role.

This team-based banking approach is called Regions360, a model where team members from across Regions’ departments work together to deliver holistic, customized solutions to meet the comprehensive financial needs of individual customers and businesses.

“Having a dedicated focus to serving all of our clients’ banking needs is what drew me to Regions,” said McConnell. “By bringing our entire team to the table, we can help our clients achieve both their personal and professional milestones. That’s what relationship banking is all about.”

McConnell’s two-plus decades of financial services experience include roles with Wells Fargo in Atlanta, PNC Bank in New York and Bank of America in London.
