Tony Shalloup lands job with Regions Bank

And while he did take some time to travel, Shalloup is set to begin a new career Aug. 1 in business development with Regions Bank.

“I never felt like I was retired, … it just seemed like really nice time off,” he said.

Shalloup said he enjoyed his work with CU, but he also likes the excitement and challenges that will come with his new position.

Shalloup will be vice president of private banking with the bank.

“In Tony’s case, his experience and background, plus the relationships he has in Springfield, will lend (themselves) to success in his new role,” said Regions Bank President Mick Nitsch.

Shalloup said Regions Bank was one of several companies that approached him with new career options.

I was very thrilled about that,” he said.
