The Regions Bank parent posted net interest income growth of 3.3% to $1.3 billion, driven in part by fixed-rate asset turnover.
The gain reflects the bank's ability to reprice maturing fixed-rate assets at higher prevailing rates, a factor that has supported net interest income across the regional banking sector.
The results point to steady revenue momentum at Regions Financial, which owns Regions Bank. The company's profit and revenue both rose in the period, according to the Wall Street Journal's US business coverage.
The figures are part of a broader picture of regional lenders navigating shifting interest rates and loan demand. Investors will be watching whether the growth in net interest income can be sustained as funding costs and competition evolve.
