BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – (BUSINESS WIRE) –June 25, 2014 – Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE:RF) announced today that it has entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and that Regions Bank, the principal banking subsidiary of Regions Financial Corporation, has entered into a consent order with the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the Alabama State Banking Department.
