Regions Bank announced that it has exceeded its goal of opening one million new checking accounts for consumers and small businesses in 2009.
Growth in the bank’s signature bundled product, Regions LifeGreen Checking and Savings, helped fuel the growth, which has also been instrumental in helping the bank increase deposits by $10 billion since September 2008. Regions exceeded its previous record of account openings in a year by more than 25 percent.

Regions Financial Corp.’s brokerage arm Morgan Keegan & Co. said a lawsuit filed by former client Consulting Services Group LLC is “full of omissions, misstatements and half truths” and is nothing more than a tactic to turn attention away from its own shortcomings.
CSG, a Tennessee-based investment advisory firm for institutions, foundations, pension funds and high-net worth individuals, filed a civil lawsuit last week in Shelby County, TN Circuit Court against Morgan Keegan over losses in Morgan Keegan’s former RMK Funds. Losses in the funds ranged from 51% to 86% last year just before Morgan Keegan sold the funds to a third party. The total value had dropped from a high of $4.4 billion to around $350 million when they were jettisoned.
