In the midst of a challenging financial landscape, the importance of adopting a strategic mindset cannot be overstated. Regions Bank has strategically leveraged IBISWorld’s industry research to employ a forward-thinking approach to lending, risk management, and customer relations.
Check out what Regions Bank's Vice President of Revenue & Digital Enablement, Andy Cantrell, had to say about our partnership in a recent webinar:
Strategic Differentiation in Lending
Regions Bank operates in a highly competitive environment where strategic differentiation is crucial. With more stringent credit risk appetites, it’s essential for banks to stand out in their approach to lending. Regions Bank has utilized IBISWorld’s detailed industry research to differentiate their financial institution from others. Here's how:
Enhanced Industry Knowledge: By integrating IBISWorld’s insights, Regions Bank can better understand which industries present higher risks and which offer safer opportunities. This enables them to offer informed, strategic lending solutions.
Focus on Cash Flow: A major focus for Regions Bank this year has been fostering a "cash flow first" mindset among their bankers when talking to clients. By seamlessly integrated IBISWorld data into their tools, such as their Cashflow Advisor, Regions has enabled their bankers to conduct real-time cash conversion analysis, offering clients a clear picture of their financial standing and potential improvements.
Personalized Service: Small businesses operate across various industries, making it challenging for bankers to be industry experts in every field. IBISWorld’s research equips Regions Bank with the expertise needed to provide personalized, industry-specific advice, enhancing the trust and relationship with their clients.
