Regions Bank announced the launch of a Commercial Business Development team focused specifically on helping small businesses build customized plans for financial success. The new team complements Regions' extensive Commercial Banking Solutions group and is led by experienced banking veteran Jordan Baxter, senior vice president in Regions Commercial Banking. Baxter and the Commercial Business Development team are focused on helping business owners and managers maximize growth potential and create greater efficiencies while meeting complex financial needs.

This is accomplished by Baxter and his team working hand-in-hand with product partners from across the bank who bring specialized experience in areas such as Treasury Management, Equipment Finance, SBA Lending, Franchise Lending, and more, all to help small businesses thrive. Baxter reports to Ginger Blake, executive vice president and head of Commercial Banking Solutions for Regions Bank. Regions Commercial Banking Solutions is a team of dedicated bankers who manage small-business relationships in a convenient, virtual environment.

The new Commercial Business Development team, largely based in Birmingham and serving clients across the Southeast, the Midwest, and Texas, consists of 10 Business Development relationship bankers with plans to grow over time. The team's service model aligns bankers in the group with their industry specific acumen as they connect with clients and prospects to uncover financial needs and deliver insightful guidance in conjunction with product partners throughout Regions. The result is a more holistic level of service that goes beyond transactional needs and connects prospects and clients with a team of financial professionals who can help them meet long-term strategic and operational objectives.

Baxter first joined Regions in the company's Consumer Banking division in June 2007. He left briefly in 2017, returning the following year as part of Regions' Learning and Development team leading a group of Consumer and Commercial Banking trainers. Most recently, Baxter served as a Commercial Banking Solutions manager responsible for Florida-based clients.
