TAMPA, Fla. – April 1, 2025 – Regions Bank on Tuesday unveiled the company’s newly renovated, highly modernized downtown Tampa branch – a symbol of Regions’ commitment to even further growth in the vibrant Tampa Bay market.
The Tampa Bay economy is well recognized for its resilience and growth, and we are proud to build on our legacy of service at Regions by delivering a leading-edge customer experience at our flagship local branch. April Grajales, market executive for Regions Bank in Tampa
Regions has long delivered customized banking services at the base of the 100 N. Tampa St. tower, the signature building of the city’s skyline. Now, the setting for those services has been reimagined, delivering a new banking experience designed to enhance convenience, seamlessly blending enhanced technology and more personalized service. The branch eliminates the traditional teller line and replaces it with a more engaging, one-on-one experience. Upon entering, customers are greeted by a local banker ready to assist with not only transactions, but also tailored financial guidance.
“The Tampa Bay economy is well recognized for its resilience and growth, and we are proud to build on our legacy of service at Regions by delivering a leading-edge customer experience at our flagship local branch,” said April Grajales, market executive for Regions Bank in Tampa. “This renovation allows us to better serve our customers, providing the tools and insights they need to reach their financial goals while reinforcing our role as a trusted source of one-on-one financial guidance.”
Branch associates are focused on helping not only with simple transactions, but also with providing more in-depth services to help customers foster their financial health. This advanced approach to personal service is known as Regions Greenprint®. Through one-on-one Greenprint conversations, Regions’ bankers listen to the needs, goals and questions of customers. Regions then helps those customers create a unique roadmap toward reaching those goals through recommended next steps.
This renovation is more than an upgrade – it’s a transformation that ensures we meet our customers where they are and provide tailored financial solutions to help them thrive.Earl Connell, consumer banking executive for Regions
Along with technology upgrades, including an instant-issue debit card printer, single-service safe deposit boxes with biometric access, and more, these services are based on how today’s customers increasingly view the branch space. Simple transactions can often be handled through the Regions Mobile App, Online Banking or ATMs. The branch, though, is where people are turning for one-on-one, face-to-face guidance.
“At Regions, we recognize today’s customers value both digital solutions and face-to-face conversations with experienced bankers,” said Earl Connell, consumer banking executive for Regions. “This renovation is more than an upgrade – it’s a transformation that ensures we meet our customers where they are and provide tailored financial solutions to help them thrive.”
Regions held a grand reopening celebration that included a $15,000 check presentation to The Orenda Foundation, an organization dedicated to fostering economic opportunity around Tampa Bay. The grant is part of Regions’ wide-ranging and long-standing support for a variety of organizations empowering small-business growth across Florida and beyond. Orenda empowers businesses by providing resources, mentorship and corporate connections through initiatives like the OC Emporium. This event-driven platform helps local vendors gain visibility, build partnerships and secure growth opportunities. The grant from Regions will support expansion of the OC Emporium, capacity-building workshops and the launch of a new symposium.
“Support from community partners like Regions Bank is invaluable to our work at The Orenda Foundation,” said Orenda Founder & CEO LaKendria Robinson. “This grant will allow us to further our mission of creating opportunities for entrepreneurs, ensuring they have the tools and access needed to succeed. By investing in small businesses, we are collectively strengthening Tampa Bay’s economy and fostering a more inclusive business community.”
