Digital Banking Tools: The Hub

Spend Analysis tracks how much you're spending, and exactly where you're spending it, in categories like groceries and entertainment. We'll analyze your expenses so you can easily see exactly where your money is going.

For personal accounts, Spend Analysis includes transactions from your Huntington checking and credit card accounts. For business accounts, Spend Analysis includes transactions from your Huntington checking, money market, credit card and credit line accounts.

Do you have a Huntington checking account? Then log into The Hub to turn Spend Analysis on.

Only your Huntington accounts and credit cards are included.

When you make a purchase using your debit or credit card, Spend Analysis places that purchase in an existing category, such as Groceries, Education, Home and more.

For your convenience, each transaction is automatically assigned to a category. To reassign a transaction, follow these easy steps:

• Click on a transaction from the line-item list. A Transaction Detail window will pop up. (Note: Pending transactions cannot be reassigned).
• Under Category, click Edit and select a new category.
• Answer Yes, Create Rule to always categorize this way, or No, Apply Once for one-time only.

To be more specific on how you track expenses, you can create new categories. For example, you can choose to track "coffee shop" spending separate from the main Restaurant category. Add up to 10 custom subcategories within a broader category family by following these easy steps:

• In Transaction Detail, under Category, click Edit.
• Click Add a category.
• Enter the new category name, then Save.

Get a more accurate picture of your actual spending by splitting a single transaction into two or more spending categories. Follow these easy steps:

• In Transaction Detail, under Category, click Edit.
• Choose Edit next to Category, select Category.
• Enter Split Amount for each category.
• Need to split into more categories? Click Add a Split.
• Click Save

Yes, you can hide transactions so they aren’t included in the Spend Analysis or Spend Setter tools. Click on a transaction to bring up the Transaction Detail window, and check Hide this transaction from financial tools.

To see your spending for previous months, click the View Analysis button. On the larger Spend Analysis view, you can change the date range, dive into categories and more. You can also switch from pie chart to bar graph to table view and roll over visual charts to see amounts and percentages by category.

With Spend Analysis, you can see up to two years of spending and income history to better understand your habits. And, the Spend v. Income feature within Spend Analysis provides you with an easy-to-read, side-by-side comparison of money coming in and money going out. You can compare your cash flow for the past 12 months. All of this gives you the ability to make informed decisions about your money.

Spend Setter℠ lets you set budgets to track what you’ve spent and how much you have left to spend in a given month. You can view amount spent to date, amount left to spend, percentage of budget spent and number of days left in the month. Spend Setter includes transactions from your Huntington checking and credit card accounts.

If you don’t use the Spend Setter℠ tool within the first 60 days of having access, budgets will be created for your highest three spending categories based on your monthly averages. To edit these budgets, click View Budgets.

Spend Setter℠ includes transactions from your Huntington checking and credit card accounts.

You can change a budget as often as you like. Keep in mind that changes to the budget amount may affect the status of your budget.

The color of the budget bar will indicate if you are on track (green), off track (yellow) or already over budget (red). In the future, an alert will be available to tell you when your nearing or over your budget. You can also sign up to receive a Huntington Heads Up^® by email, text, or push notification to let you know when you're nearing or over your budget. If you are already enrolled in Heads Up alerts, you can also set up to receive Heads Up for your budget activity. Go to Alerts and choose Manage Alerts. Under the Manage Alerts section, choose Tips & Tools. Then select Edit Alerts and scroll down to Budget Activity, where you can choose your preferences for Spend Setter℠. Message and data rates may apply. If you are not yet enrolled, visit the Alerts tab in the top navigation and choose Enroll in Alerts. Follow the prompts to enroll. Once enrollment is complete, complete the Manage Alerts steps above to set up your Spend Setter alerts.

Your budgets reset each calendar month. To view the bar graph that shows your average monthly spending for the last 12 months for a particular budget, click on that budget to view.

The Look Ahead will help you see upcoming transactions — including what you scheduled in Bill Pay before they happen. Add patterns of your own for a closer look at what’s coming in and what’s going out.

For personal accounts, Look Ahead Calendar℠ includes one Huntington checking account of your choosing. The default account is the one you use for Bill Pay, if applicable. For business accounts, Look Ahead includes checking, savings, money market, credit card and credit line accounts.

Not at this time, but look for additional calendar functions in future.

Look Ahead Calendar℠ displays up to two months of scheduled transactions and patterns from today’s date. The tool does not show you past transactions; visit your account details for those.

Look Ahead Calendar℠ captures any transfer or bill payment you schedule. Not every repeat transaction is scheduled in Bill Pay. Add a pattern to show upcoming paydays and bills.

You can add a scheduled transaction by setting up a recurring transfer on the Transfers page or a recurring payment using Bill Pay. You can click Manage Calendar to add income and expense patterns that you want to track.

You can edit or delete a scheduled transaction anytime by editing the transaction on the Transfers page or Bill Pay page.

To edit a pattern, click Manage Calendar. Find the pattern and click Edit to open the Edit Pattern window.

You can delete any pattern you’ve manually created in the Edit Pattern window. You can also hide any pattern from the calendar view. For instance, if you pay for swim lessons during the summer, you can hide this pattern during the winter.

Savings Goal Getter℠ helps you visualize a Savings Goal - or more than one - by giving it a name, amount and due date to reach it. It's designed to help you put money aside for an Emergency Fund and other specific Savings Goals.

You can add Savings Goals to all your Huntington personal savings and money market accounts. You can add up to 10 Savings Goals and one Emergency Fund to each account.

Once you've created your goals, we'll assign money in your savings or money market account towards each goal depending on the goal amount and the date you want to reach it. To add money toward your goals, simply deposit money into your savings or money market account - or transfer from checking - and we'll automatically assign it toward your goals to keep you on track.

Not at this time.

Since money is assigned to your Savings Goals based on due dates, you can change the amount of money in each goal by editing the due dates. Remember, money will always be assigned first to an Emergency Fund (if you’ve created one) and then the Savings Goal with the nearest due date.

Once you’ve reached a Savings Goal (congratulations!), we recommend deleting it.

Yes! Setting up automatic transfers from your checking account to your savings or money market account is an easy way to help you reach your savings goals. Remember, you'll need to set up automatic transfers inside your checking account. Learn how at huntington.com/Automatic-Savings.

You earn interest on the the total account balance in your savings or money market account, whether or not you have created a Savings Goal. The Savings Goal itself does not earn interest.

You can add or change a Savings Goal as often as you like. To create a goal, click Add a Savings Goal, then give it a name, amount and due date. To edit a goal, click Edit next to an individual goal. Remember, changing the amount or due date will change how much and/or how often you need to deposit or transfer money to reach that goal.

On the Savings Goal Getter page, click Edit next to a goal and type in a new amount. This is only available on The Hub main page for non-UA experiences.

When you create a Savings Goal, you can give it a name, such as “Vacation” or “New Bike.” To change the name, go to the Savings Goal Getter℠ page and click Edit next to the goal.

To delete a goal, click Edit next to the goal, then click Delete next to the trash can icon. Remember, if you delete a savings goal, your progress toward other goals for that account will adjust automatically.

To see all your goals, click the Manage Savings Goals button on The Hub main page.

On the Savings Goal Getter℠ page, if you have created an Emergency Fund, that will be displayed first. Additional goals will be listed in the order of nearest due date, whether they are complete or in progress. If more than one goal has the same due date, they will be listed in the order of largest percent complete first. If more than one goal has the same due date and the same percent complete, they will be listed in order of the newest goal first.

On The Hub main page, you will see up to three goals in online banking, and one goal in the mobile app. If you have set up an Emergency Fund, that will be displayed first. Additional goals will be listed in the order of nearest due date. If more than one goal has the same due date, they will be listed in the order of largest percent complete first. If all goals have been reached, they will listed be in the order of most recently completed.

When you are logged into your account on huntington.com, up to three Savings Goals are shown on The Hub main page. When you log into the Huntington Mobile app, one goal will be listed. To see all your goals, click the Manage Savings Goals button.

A good rule of thumb is to have at least three months of living expenses available for emergencies.

While you can't change the rules that determine which goals show up on The Hub main page, you can change elements of a goal that would make it display there. For instance, if you set up an Emergency Fund, that will automatically display on The Hub main page in both online banking and the mobile app. If you change a goal's due date to be sooner than other, that goal will display next after the Emergency Fund.

You can create up to ten Savings Goals for each savings and money market account you have. To create or view goals for a specific account, simply select it from the Select Account drop-down on the Savings Goal Getter page and click Apply.

If your savings account is used for overdraft protection, money is transferred from your savings account to your checking account to cover the overdraft. When money is withdrawn, for any reason, from the account linked to a Savings Goal, it reduces the amount saved towards your Savings Goal and may take you off-track. If you overdraft your account, you may incur Overdraft or Return Fees, whether or not your account is linked to a Savings Goal. Learn how you can avoid fees at huntington.com/Overdraft.

Congratulations! Saving money can be tough but you did it! Once you complete a goal and are ready to use the money, you'll see Edit and Make a Transfer options. We recommend you transfer or withdraw the money from your savings or money market account to use for the goal. Then delete the goal so that other money in your account isn't assigned to the goal you just completed!

You can assign up to $1 million to each Savings Goal.

Since every accountholder has their own login information for online banking, they each have the opportunity to use Savings Goal Getter and create their own Savings Goals for the account. Keep in mind that when you log in, you’ll only see the Savings Goals that were created using your login information.

No. Money is assigned to your Savings Goals from the funds in your Huntington savings or money market account. If you want to assign more money to a Savings Goal, you'll first need to deposit additional money into Huntington savings or money market account, or transfer it from your Huntington checking account.
