2 AI mentions from this call.
Extracted verbatim from the RF Q1 2026 earnings call transcript. Speaker, section, and specificity tier surfaced for each mention.
- T2Q&A· CFO· Customer demand signalThere's been some discussion about how cash optimization by customers in an AI world, could pressure deposits at banks that have a lower cost of deposits relative to peers. Can you talk about your view on this and how Regions plans to protect its market share?
“what could happen from AI is kind of proliferating several parts of the economy. When we think about the impact on deposits, we kind of start with the nature of our customer base. So our customer base average deposit is about $5,200. And when we think about the ability for customers to move money around what our customers are really using their account for is for ease of payments.”

“We continue to make good progress on our core transformation, including investments in artificial intelligence.”
