Regions Bank was named as the Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion for the fourth consecutive year on the 2024 Disability Equality Index. The American Association of People with Disabilities and Disability:IN run the Index, which looks at corporate disability inclusion policies and programs, according to a press release.

Regions earned this spot for its accessibility products and services such as MagnusCards which offer step-by-step guidance for banking and for celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month. It also allows employes to self-identify as having a disability.

"On the 10th anniversary of the Disability Equality Index, we're extremely proud of the 542 national and international companies that are taking a proactive role in leading progress towards disability inclusion, setting a benchmark for others to follow," Jill Houghton, president and CEO of Disability:IN, said in the release. "Their dedication to fostering inclusive workplaces not only attracts top talent but also drives innovation and creates sustainable performance in today's global market. Together, we are creating a future where everyone can contribute and thrive."

"Introducing these new benefits in addition to our ongoing offer of DashPass showcases our commitment in bringing the utmost convenience that we can to our cardmembers' lives," Dana Pouwels, head of strategic card partnerships at Chase, said in the release. "We're pleased to continue our DoorDash partnership and provide our Chase Sapphire and other cardmembers with enhanced offers on grocery and convenience."
