Here at Regions, we’ve used our experience in the industry to build technology specifically for home improvement financing. With PreQualify, paperless application methods, express credit decisions, and convenient loan management with PartnerPortal, you can start closing more jobs and get to work sooner. Plus, you can easily request funds from your customers and the money will be sent to your account via ACH - usually within 24 hours of homeowner approval.

We know you and your customers are busy, and the last thing either of you wants is a complicated application and funding process. That’s why we offer three paperless application methods that can be completed while you’re in the home with the customer. Plus, with a credit decision usually ready within minutes, you’re able to start the job sooner.

Requesting funds is a breeze. Simply request a disbursement in our secure online platform, PartnerPortal, and the homeowner will receive the request via their preferred method. Once accepted, those funds will hit your account in as little as 24 hours.

You spend less time on paperwork and more time getting to work.

Increase Your Leads and Sales by Offering Regions Home Improvement Financing

When hiring a contractor for their home renovations, not every homeowner understands how much quality services and materials can cost, leaving them scrambling for funding. Contractor financing for customers will put their dream projects within reach, without compromises — and will empower you to grow your business and increase sales of larger jobs.

More leads mean more business for you. By advertising a choice of payment options in your marketing, you can see a 50% increase in leads* and a better conversion rate. Plus, by providing a great customer experience, you’re more likely to get future work via referrals to friends and family.

Offering the right payment options can almost double your close rate. We've found that companies with a 25% baseline can increase their close rate to 44% when they offer a choice of a Same-As-Cash loan and a low monthly payment loan.*

Strength and Stability

Strength and Stability Through the Decades

At Regions, we've been doing home improvement lending for a while - over two decades to be exact. During that time, we've seen a lot of changes both within the industry and the economy. One thing that has remained consistent all these years, however, is our commitment to our contractors.
Better Loan Management

Better Loan Management

Unlike other financial companies that offer similar services, we haven't had to put a pause on our lending. This is because we've never overextended ourselves and have always prioritized responsible lending. As a result, you know that you can get the funding you need when you need it, regardless of outside factors.
Focus on Home Improvement

Focus on Home Improvement

With 20 years in the home improvement industry, we've designed all our tools, resources, and loans with your needs in mind. Plus, you'll be working with people who have experience in your specific trade at every level of the bank, providing an invaluable resource for your business.
Stability of a Bank

Stability of a Bank

We're an actual bank. This means you can rely on the security of sound underwriting and best practices. Both you and your customers can rest easy knowing that your financial information is protected at every stage of the process. Additionally, we fund and service all our loans, so you get paid quickly and we don't pull back funds if your customer defaults on their loan.

Offering Same-As-Cash loans Grows Your Business

The Same-As-Cash Loan from Regions makes closing deals, increasing project size, and delighting your customers an absolute breeze. We call it “Same-As-Cash,” but really, it’s better than cash, because it’s a short-term lending solution with no interest and no monthly payment required during the “same-as-cash” period — (on approved credit – interest waived if paid in full during the same-as-cash period) — which means your customer can use the cash they have for other stuff.
