BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regions Bank customers can now research, shop for, finance, and insure a new or used vehicle through the Regions Auto Center housed on the company’s web site at regionsautocenter.com.
Using the online vehicle information service powered by TrueCar, Inc., an automotive pricing and analysis company that creates a better buying experience for consumers and dealers, consumers can compare pricing information on thousands of new and used vehicles, view prices other buyers paid for the same vehicle, and receive pricing information on the vehicle from one or more of the Program’s Certified Dealers.
