A core-replacement bank that reports AI as productivity arithmetic: 35% of new business opportunities and a 20% banker productivity lift, with the new deposit platform due in 2027.
How is Regions using AI?
Regions is a $160 billion Southeastern bank whose AI story is inseparable from a decade-long core replacement. On the fourth-quarter 2025 call in January 2026, CEO John Turner said technology modernisation now touches every layer of the stack and every channel, with parallel investment in data governance, authentication and real-time data so that both traditional and generative AI can be used more widely; the earnings deck showed AI-driven platforms for banker enablement, treasury implementation and client onboarding producing 35% of new business opportunities and an expected 20% productivity gain. The finance chief guided technology spending to 10–12% of revenue, above historical norms, and said the investment should eventually offset headcount growth. The core deposit platform, in the works since 2019, is due in 2027; the bank has said it will then apply AI to contain technology costs and let attrition go unreplaced where technology can do the job. On the customer side, a native mobile app built in-house launched in July 2025, personalised insights (AI-driven notifications on spending, subscriptions and cash flow) went live in July 2026, and digital channels took 80% of transactions and 29% of checking-account openings. Regions is also unusual in talking publicly about the other side of the AI boom: in July 2026 executives said the bank was capping growth in its exposure to borrowers tied to the AI ecosystem and stress-testing for a slowdown. Dan Massey runs technology and operations, Manav Misra is chief data and analytics officer and Paul Weiss, chief transformation officer, leads the core programme; the CFO seat passed from David Turner to Anil Chadha in 2026.

- AI as reported arithmetic: AI-driven platforms for banker enablement, treasury onboarding and client onboarding generate 35% of new business opportunities and an expected 20% productivity boost (Q4 2025 investor materials).
- Spend: technology at 10–12% of revenue as the bank moves to SaaS platforms; the CFO expects the investment to offset headcount growth over time.
- Core first, AI second: a single cloud-based deposit platform by 2027, after which 'we will have attrition in our workforce that we won't have to replace because we have technology that can do a particular job'.
- Customer AI: an in-house native mobile app (July 2025), personalised insights on spending, subscriptions and cash flow (July 2026), digital at 80% of transactions and 2.7 million active mobile users.
- Credit discipline on the AI boom: no direct data-centre lending, growth in AI-linked exposure capped and stress-tested (July 2026) — 'soundness, profitability, and growth, in that order'.
- Tools in the investor decks: a generative-AI copilot inside the RegionsClientIQ machine-learning product for commercial and treasury bankers (Q1 2026), an AI branch-coaching tool in pilot with more than 2,500 practice simulations, and an Automated Refinance Calculator that runs 100 million-plus mortgage repricing scenarios in under five minutes.
- Developers: GitHub Copilot deployed to about 80% of developers with an approximately 30% lift in code development, plus AI in document processing and customer-product analysis, taken deliberately rather than as a 'big bang' (CFO, September 2026).
- 10-K risk factor: 'The development and use of AI presents risks and challenges that may adversely impact our business', from incorrect or biased generative output to evolving AI law; machine-learning models are used in pricing, loan grading, fraud prevention and authentication.
- Deal posture: no bank acquisitions; bolt-ons (EnerBank, Frazer Lanier) and an accelerated plan for 150 new branches in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.
- Governance: Chief Data and Analytics Officer Manav Misra told Citi's FinTech conference (19 November 2025) that machine learning has run for six to seven years under model-risk guardrails across the three lines of defence, and that generative AI added a new risk framework, a responsible use policy and a standard for unstructured data so that no sensitive data trains external models.
- Platform: the August 2026 investor deck lists the ATLAS Gen AI Gateway, launched in the fourth quarter of 2025 as an enterprise-grade, governed, model-agnostic platform, with human-in-the-loop design as a stated principle; no model provider is named.
- Reach: the same deck says GitHub and Microsoft copilots are deployed to more than 12,000 associates, alongside ClientIQ (call planning), ROSIE (personalised product offers) and rVoice (customer-feedback analysis).
- Vendors: Temenos is the core provider for customer records and deposits (deposits in 2027; Regions has not named the vendor of the commercial lending platform that went live in June 2026), the deck names AWS and Azure for cloud, and the 10-K says Regions relies on AI models developed by third parties.
- Cost: Massey said Regions has taken $70 million of annual run-rate expense out of technology and operations in about two and a half years, forecast to pass $100 million, and is reinvesting it in fraud, cyber, authentication and core work.
- Filings: the first- and second-quarter 2026 10-Qs repeat only the headline of the 10-K AI risk factor; the substantive AI disclosure sits in the 10-K, the decks and calls.
What is AI-driven banker platforms on a modernised stack?
Regions frames AI as a layer on a technology modernisation that CEO John Turner says now 'touches every layer of our technology stack and every business channel and support function'. The fourth-quarter 2025 investor materials show AI-driven platforms supporting banker enablement, treasury-management implementation and client onboarding, generating 35% of new business opportunities and contributing to an expected 20% productivity boost. Technology spending is guided to 10–12% of revenue while the bank moves to software-as-a-service platforms and replaces its core deposit system by 2027, after which executives expect AI to absorb workforce attrition.[1][6]
What AI partnerships and patents does Regions have?
Regions names few AI partners. The investor deck lists GitHub and Microsoft copilots, AWS and Azure cloud and its own model-agnostic ATLAS gateway without naming a model provider; Temenos supplies the core platform, Axway the open-banking API layer and Dash Solutions a treasury product. Regions is an owner of The Clearing House. A Google Patents search for the Regions Bank name since 2024 found one granted patent, on transferring funds and filed in 2009, and no AI patent or published application. USAA's mobile-deposit patent suit against Regions settled in February 2026.[24][35][38][14][30][45][16]

What does the public record suggest about Regions's AI strategy?
Analysis by BankingNewsAI from the sources cited on this page. Observations, not advice.
01
The 35% and 20% figures are the disclosure to protect
Few regionals attribute new business and productivity to named AI platforms. Keeping the definitions stable quarter to quarter is what makes those numbers useful to investors and defensible to examiners.
02
Core replacement sequencing is the strategy
Regions has chosen to finish the deposit platform before pushing AI into the workforce. That reduces risk but means the headcount effects the CFO described arrive after 2027, when competitors will already report theirs.
03
Being explicit about AI credit exposure is rare and useful
Capping and stress-testing AI-linked borrowers is a risk practice other banks are being asked about; publishing the approach ahead of examiner questions is a strength.
04
Personalised insights invite UDAAP scrutiny
Daily AI notifications about spending are the kind of consumer-facing model the CFPB's chatbot guidance was written for; documenting how insights are tested for accuracy and fairness will matter.

How is Regions Bank using AI?
Regions reports AI-driven platforms for banker enablement, treasury-management implementation and client onboarding that generate 35% of new business opportunities and an expected 20% productivity boost, alongside personalised insights in its mobile app launched in July 2026. The bank is replacing its core deposit platform by 2027 and says AI will then help contain technology costs and absorb workforce attrition.
How much does Regions spend on technology?
The CFO guided technology spending to 10–12% of revenue on the fourth-quarter 2025 call, above historical norms, as the bank migrates to software-as-a-service platforms and completes its core deposit replacement.
Who leads AI at Regions?
Regions has no public chief AI officer. Manav Misra, chief data and analytics officer, owns machine-learning data products such as RegionsClientIQ and the generative-AI risk framework. Dan Massey, chief enterprise operations and technology officer, runs technology and operations. Paul Weiss, chief transformation officer, leads the Temenos core programme, and Chris Kennedy is managing director for strategic technology and AI. CEO John Turner and CFO Anil Chadha give the headline figures: 35% of new opportunities and a 20% productivity lift. Chun Schiros, the former head of enterprise data science, left for Associated Bank in May 2024.
Which vendors and cloud platforms does Regions use for AI?
Regions names few AI vendors. Its August 2026 investor deck lists GitHub and Microsoft copilots for more than 12,000 associates, AWS and Azure cloud services and an in-house ATLAS Gen AI Gateway described as model-agnostic, with no model provider named. Temenos supplies the core platform as software as a service, and Axway provides open-banking API management. The 10-K says the bank relies on AI models developed by third parties. No OpenAI, Anthropic or Google relationship is public.
Does Regions use AI in fraud and contact centres?
In fraud, Regions has disclosed a new biometrics tool and wider caller monitoring in its interactive voice response system (first-quarter 2026 deck), plus adaptive authentication and identity intelligence (August 2026 deck). The 10-K says machine-learning models are used in fraud prevention and authentication. Regions has not described generative AI for contact-centre agents; its public customer-facing AI is personalised insights in the mobile app and a virtual assistant chat feature that the deck says is seeing higher usage.
