Regions Bank Introduces A New Way To Pay

I have some really fun information to share with you today!  I don’t know about you, but I can’t live without my cell phone.  Well, I guess they really aren’t just cellphones anymore…they are our calendars, our music player, our alarm clocks, our personal weather channel, our social media connection at all times, and our wallets.

What?  Our wallets?

You haven’t heard?  That’s right, you can now use your PHONE as your wallet!  And Regions Bank is making it easier than ever, and just in time for the holiday season.  Regions is always looking for ways to make our lives easier and introduce new and innovative ways to bank, and they have done it!

What has Regions Bank done to improve our banking experience?

• They have mobile apps, mobile web and text banking options.
• Regions now brings us the convenience and security of tap and go technology with Apple Pay^® and Android Pay^™. WOOHOO!
• Regions also offers Visa Checkout, which is the fast and convenient way to make your online purchases this holiday season.  Thank you!

The holiday season is busy enough, so why not let mobile payments add simplicity, convenience, and security to shopping?  I know I am all about anything that will make my life a bit easier.

Explain these Regions Payment Solutions….

I would be more than happy to!

What is Visa Checkout?

• Visa Checkout–A simple way to check out.
• Visa Checkout allows customers to make quick purchases at participating merchants, eliminating the need to type in your card number and address each time you checkout when making online purchases.
  • Spend less time filling out forms when you shop. Enroll in Visa Checkout at visa.com and enter the information for the card(s) you want to use. On a compatible smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop, Visa Checkout works with your existing debit or credit cards and internet-connected devices. So, shopping stays convenient and paying online gets even easier.
  • Benefit of this digital service is to provide:
    • Fast and easy checkout – one-click online purchases.
    • You are still eligible for your existing cards point programs.
