BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regions Bank on Wednesday announced it has been designated as a 2026 Military Friendly® Employer by Military Friendly, an organization that measures the commitment of companies to support the military community.

Regions Bank is designated among Silver 2026 Military Friendly Employers. Only a select group of companies achieve this honor. Details are available at this profile.

“We are honored to again be recognized as a Military Friendly® Employer. At Regions, we deeply value the leadership, resilience, and dedication veterans, service members, and military spouses bring to our organization,” said Angela Santone, Chief People Officer for Regions Bank. “Their contributions strengthen our culture and enhance the way we serve our customers and communities. This designation reflects our ongoing commitment to creating meaningful career pathways and fostering a workplace where military talent can thrive.”

“Earning the Military Friendly® designation is more than a badge; it’s a reflection of deep-rooted values and strategic foresight,” said Kayla Lopez, Vice President of Memberships at Military Friendly. “These organizations don’t just open doors for veterans, spouses, and service members; they build pathways for lasting impact. Their commitment isn’t performative; it’s transformative. It’s proof that honoring military talent is not only the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do.”

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® Employers designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Over 1,200 companies participated in the Military Friendly survey. Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Military Friendly®, in consultation with the Military Friendly® Advisory Council, a group of independent leaders in the military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score with an assessment of the organization’s ability to meet and exceed thresholds for Recruitment, New Hire Retention, Employee Turnover, and Promotion & Advancement of veterans and military employees.

Regions Bank will be showcased in the 2026 Military Friendly® Employers Guide in the Winter issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
