Regions Bank announced veteran commercial banking leader Mark Evans will serve as the company’s first market executive focused exclusively on San Antonio and surrounding areas as Regions builds on its Texas presence yet again.

Regions is one of the nation’s largest full-service providers of consumer and commercial banking, wealth management, and mortgage products and services. The bank serves a diverse mix of clients, including individual consumers and well-established businesses representing a wide range of industries. Regions has strategically grown its presence across the Lone Star State in recent years in cities including Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin.

Now, as Market Executive for Regions Bank in San Antonio, Evans will focus on expanding the bank’s portfolio of business clients in Bexar and surrounding counties. Evans will focus on Regions’ competitive differentiators, such as unique specialty capabilities and customized financial insights that are tailored to meet the needs of businesses ranging from smaller, locally owned companies to large corporations. Evans assumes his role following a decade of leading Regions’ commercial banking strategies in North Louisiana and East Texas.

“Mark Evans is a highly regarded leader who’s known for building client relationships that are rooted in trust and a deep, personal commitment to helping those clients succeed,” said John Turner, President and CEO of Regions Financial Corp. “San Antonio is a vibrant, growing city, and we see tremendous opportunities to connect more businesses with the competitive services that differentiate Regions in the marketplace. Mark’s experience and vision make him the ideal leader to guide Regions’ expansion in San Antonio.”
