Regions Bank today announced it will close all offices at 2 p.m.
local time on Friday, June 19 in observance of Juneteenth.
Juneteenth – a term that combines June and nineteenth – celebrates
the effective end of slavery in 1865 and is considered the longest
running African American holiday in the United States.
While commemorating Juneteenth, Regions remains aware of recent
tragic events across the country that highlight the work that
remains to ensure equality and justice for all. Regions is
committed to being part of the solution to breaking society’s
tolerance of racism and bias and President and CEO John Turner
today posted a message on Regions’ Commitment to Racial Equity on
Regions’ website.
“Over the past number of weeks, our country has experienced a
series of racial injustices that have profoundly affected us as
individuals and our communities as a whole – tragic incidents that
have created urgent and necessary calls for racial equity and
justice,” Turner said. “We recognize that, in the communities we
serve, all groups have not shared equally in the economic
prosperity of our nation. In 2018, we decided to focus our
Community Investment efforts on promoting more inclusive
prosperity. While I’m proud of the efforts we have made, recent
events remind us that much more work must be done – and we are
prepared to do more. In addition to initiatives currently underway,
over the next few weeks we will hold a series of listening sessions
with associates across our service areas to hear their own ideas on
how Regions can best demonstrate our commitment to racial equity.
We will use these perspectives to shape our future actions both
inside our organization and in the communities we serve.”
Regions Bank’s early closure will include all office and retail
branch locations. As always, Regions customers are encouraged to
take advantage of the bank’s online and mobile banking options and
network of 2,000 ATMs, many of which provide check cashing and
deposit services.
