KEY FACTS
Overview Regions’ check cashing service allows you to cash checks whether or not you have a Regions checking,

anticipation, business, government and payroll checks.

that are made payable to yourself, starter, counter and credit card convenience checks.

• If you have a Regions checking, savings and/or money market account with enough money in your accounts
to cover the amount of the check being cashed, the check may be cashed with no fee. Under our funds
availability policy, we may place a hold on funds in your accounts for the same amount as the check being
cashed.
• If you have a Regions checking, savings and/or money market account and you do not have enough money
in your accounts to cover the amount of the check being cashed, we may still cash the check. If the check
was drawn on the issuer’s Regions account, there will be no fee. Otherwise, a check cashing fee will apply
(see fees on next page).
TIP: If you don’t need quick access to check funds, consider depositing your check for credit to your account
to avoid check cashing fees.
