NASHVILLE, Tenn. – March 11, 2020 – Regions Bank on Wednesday announced the opening of a full-service portable branch facility at the bank’s North Nashville location at 1200 Rosa L. Parks Blvd.
Regions’ North Nashville branch was heavily damaged by the March 3 tornado. The portable branch allows Regions’ local team to resume financial services for people and businesses in surrounding neighborhoods.
“Regions Bank is committed to North Nashville,” said Lee Blank, Nashville Market Executive for Regions. “We have been part of the area for decades, and we are dedicated to helping the community, and all of Middle Tennessee, recover and rebuild. This portable branch facility will help us maintain services for our customers in North Nashville while we develop a long-term solution and address the damage at our branch building. We look forward to many more years of service to North Nashville.”
At Regions’ portable branch, people can use an ATM around the clock, conduct transactions with Regions bankers during regular branch hours, and speak with financial professionals about storm-recovery needs.
The portable branch, onsite at Regions’ North Nashville location, offers customers the ability to discuss their personalized financial needs. Hours are 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Mon.-Thurs. Friday hours are 9 – 5.
The ATM on the side of the branch is a Regions DepositSmart ATM, which can accept deposits and cash checks for customers at any time, day or night. The facility also features encrypted satellite uplink technology, security cameras and 24/7 on-site security.
Elsewhere, the vast majority of Regions locations in Middle Tennessee are open as usual. Work is still underway to reopen other branches that experienced minor damage or power failures.
