How does a Regions Deposit Secured loan work?
The approved loan amount is determined by the available balance in either your Regions Savings, CD or Money Market account. A fixed interest rate begins accruing at that time your funds are deposited, and you pay the loan back (plus interest) over your monthly term. Not sure that’s what you need?
