The Next Step Podcast collection is rolling out weekly in popular podcast directories.

Regions is launching episodes based on common themes that are in demand among consumers. More than 60 episodes will be available by the end of October.

“Regions Bank is committed to financial wellness, and the Next Step Podcast is another step forward in helping connect people to new strategies, valuable insights and important resources to reach their unique financial goals,” said Joye Hehn, Next Step financial education manager for Regions Bank. “Whether you’re creating your first budget, building credit, buying a home, or starting a business, the Next Step Podcast is full of tips to help you make informed money-management decisions. We are thrilled to add this podcast to our lineup of free Regions Next Step resources for people to access whenever and wherever it’s most convenient.”

Designed to be quick, educational, and action-oriented, the Next Step Podcast collection features Regions financial wellness relationship managers and various subject-matter experts discussing personal finance topics, including budgeting, saving, credit, homeownership, and student finances. Business topics are also covered, such as building a new business successfully, engaging with customers, and career development.

The Next Step Podcast complements Regions’ Wealth Management podcast series, which features experienced Regions Private Wealth Management professionals addressing topics including personal finance, retirement strategies, investments, and business expansion. Further, Regions’ Commercial Banking podcast series features timely business information and strategies from Regions professionals who serve a wide range of companies, large and small.

In addition to streaming platforms, people can access the Next Step Podcast collection any time by visiting Regions.com/NextStepPodcasts. The insights are delivered at no cost to the consumer – just like all of Regions’ financial education content. Also, the podcasts are available to everyone, regardless of whether the listener has an account with Regions.

“Regions’ commitment to meeting people’s holistic financial needs means we’re not only offering convenient digital banking tools and modern branch locations; we are also putting helpful money-management information directly in the hands of consumers,” Hehn concluded. “The Next Step Podcasts are the latest reflection of this commitment, and we know consumers will benefit as we reach more people with insights on building savings, managing expenses, and reaching long-term goals.”
