Regions Bank is taking financial education out of the bank and into the community with a week of courses for kids, adults and entrepreneurs during “Make Life Better Week.” Beginning January 28, Regions associates will visit various schools and community centers throughout the region, hosting and participating in events covering a range of topics including basic financial literacy, becoming a homeowner and the financial aspects of small business.

“Make Life Better Week” is a Midsouth initiative of Regions Bank, with events in 20 counties and 56 associates from 34 Regions branches in Middle Tennessee volunteering their time to teach the importance of understanding finances.
