regional bank

Nearby financial institution

A regional bank is a financial institution larger than a community bank but smaller than a national or money-center bank, typically operating across several states or a geographic region rather than nationwide.

Regional banks serve mid-sized businesses and consumers, offering most services of major banks but with more local focus: The regional bank had branches throughout the Southeast.

They often occupy a middle ground in lending capacity and regulatory scrutiny.
