Regions Bank
Birmingham, Alabama · $159.79B in assets · beside the 11 other the South Central states banks over $10B (the state alone holds too few in the band to rank)
The filing
Regions Bank is the largest of the 12 the South Central states banks nearest its size over $10B, with $159.79B in assets at 30 June 2026. Loans are 75.7% of deposits, the lowest in the cohort against a median of 87.7%, and equity is 11.2% of assets, 9th of 12. Loans grew +2.6% in the year, 11th of 12, and deposits fell 0.2%; the cohort's median loan growth is +5.2%.
Noncurrent loans are 0.93% of the book, 8th of 12 against a median of 0.92%; 0.42% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 1.6 times. Net charge-offs are 0.46% of loans, 11th of 12. Commercial real estate is 10.9% of loans, the lowest in the cohort against a median of 36.7%, and 65% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 17% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 1.45%, 5th of 12 against a median of 1.39%, on an efficiency ratio of 56.2%, 8th of 12. Five years ago it was 1.94%. The question this shape raises is what the liquidity earns, and what a rate path does to the securities book and the deposit base.
