Regions Bank, headquartered in Birmingham, Al., has announced the appointment of Drew Chuba as senior vice president, and Home Loan Direct centralized sales and enablement manager for Regions Mortgage.
In this role, Chuba will oversee a team responsible for providing mortgage solutions through digital platforms, including mobile and online services. His appointment follows Regions’ 2024 restructuring, which integrated mortgage origination and fulfillment services into a single team aimed at streamlining the customer experience. Chuba will lead efforts to enhance the bank’s digital mortgage services, focusing on a more personalized approach for homebuyers. He will report to Peter Boomer, head of Regions Mortgage.
“At Regions, our work centers on providing a superior banking experience wherever is most convenient for customers,” noted Boomer. “Digitization continues to transform the mortgage process, enabling everything from a more efficient application to faster approval, origination, closing, and servicing. Drew Chuba has deep industry experience in digital mortgage services, and we are proud to add him to our team. Every path to homeownership is unique, and we know Drew will help accelerate the progress we’ve made to give more customers options, flexibility, and greater convenience.”
Chuba brings more than 30 years of mortgage banking experience to this role, having previously helped develop direct-to-consumer home lending platforms at multiple financial institutions. He joins Regions from PNC Bank, where he led the digital Home Lending Center for nearly 23 years. His background also includes roles at Fifth Third Bank and Citibank, where he began his career in 1989 as a mortgage loan originator.
“Regions Bank has long been recognized for its strong attention to customer service, and that service support is why customers continue to turn to Regions for their full banking needs,” Chuba said. “By delivering more enhanced technology solutions, Regions has a unique opportunity to bring the entire bank to its customers — with digital and retail capabilities focused on deepening the client experience. Regions is operating in many of the best markets in the country in terms of continued growth, and we are here to welcome new clients while enhancing our services for existing clients.”
Chuba holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics and Management from Albion College and a Master of Business Administration from Wayne State University. He is also a graduate of the Consumer Bankers Association Executive Banking School.
