In this role, Chuba will lead the team of Regions associates who deliver mortgage solutions to clients from the convenience of their phone, tablet or computer. In 2024, Regions merged its mortgage origination and mortgage fulfillment services into one team expanding the holistic support Regions provides clients from the application process, to closing and servicing their account. Now, Chuba will build on that work and lead a transformation to expand Regions’ digital enablement infrastructure to provide a more personalized experience and connect with customers who want to purchase a home. Chuba 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” Boomer said. “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 over 30 years of mortgage banking experience to this role. During his career, he helped build direct-to-consumer home lending platforms at three different banks. Chuba joins Regions from PNC Bank, where he spent nearly 23 years as head of its digital Home Lending Center. His experience also includes work 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 graduated from Albion Collage with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and Management. He earned a Master of Business Administration from Wayne State University. Chuba is also a graduate of the Consumer Bankers Association Executive Banking School.

Regions provides full-scale support for homeownership and home improvement needs through its Regions Mortgage and Regions Home Improvement Financing division, formerly known as Enerbank. Together, these divisions, along with Retail Banking, are part of Regions Consumer Banking organization that serves 4.6 million consumer households and small-business customers across the bank’s 15-state retail footprint.
