Checking Account FAQs
Answer:
A checking account is an account at a financial institution to store your money, where you can deposit or withdraw money as needed. In the past, you would visit a bank branch to deposit a physical paycheck or withdraw cash from your account. Purchases could be made using a paper check that drew money from your account. While you can still do all of these things, you have many more options now. You can deposit or withdraw money at an ATM, have your paycheck deposited directly into your account, deposit a check through your mobile device, and make purchases with a debit card.

Answer:
Opening a checking account is easier than ever, especially if you decide to apply online.
- Select your preferred checking accounts and compare accounts if you’re unsure which you’d like to choose.
- Enter your profile information.
- Complete your account usage details.
- Choose your service.
- Review your account opening documents.
Whether you’re a minor in middle school or high school, or an adult in college, you can open a checking account at Huntington. Keep in mind that if you’re under the age of 18, you must apply for a checking account in-person with a co-signer or joint account holder that is over the age of 18. The co-signer or joint account holder doesn’t need to be a legal guardian but will be contractually obligated on the account. If you’re 18 or older, you can open a checking account online or in-branch without a co-signer.
If you prefer to open your account in person, stop by your local Huntington branch to meet with a banker.
Answer:
- Open your new checking account.
- Transfer your deposits and payments.
- Wait a month before closing your old account.

† Standby Cash is subject to terms and conditions and other account agreements. A cash advance fee equal to 5% of the amount of the cash advance will be collected from your Eligible Deposit Account immediately after the cash advance is deposited in that account. A 1% monthly interest charge (12% Annual Percentage Rate) will be added to outstanding balances if automatic payments are not scheduled. Available through online banking or the Huntington Mobile app to individuals with an active Huntington consumer checking account with at least three months of consistent deposit activity of $1,000 or more, and an average daily balance of $200 or more over the last 30 days. An active or recent bankruptcy or other legal process may disqualify you. Other eligibility requirements apply, including your recent overdraft and/or return history, regardless of whether you are charged overdraft fees or have transactions returned or they are waived with our 24-Hour Grace® and $50 Safety Zone® services. We reserve the right to change eligibility criteria at any time. Line amount and/or ongoing availability may vary based on changes to your deposit activity, average daily balance, and number and length of overdrafts and/or returns on any of your Huntington deposit accounts. When any of your Huntington deposit accounts are in an overdraft status for more than one day, your Standby Cash line may be suspended until they are no longer negative. If 90% or more of the approved credit line is drawn three months in a row, Standby Cash will be suspended until it’s paid to a zero balance. Business checking accounts are not eligible for Standby Cash.

You can avoid the monthly checking maintenance fee for any statement period for Huntington Platinum Perks Checking® if you keep a Total Relationship Balance of at least $25,000 in eligible deposits.

They include this account and any other consumer checking, money market, savings, certificate of deposit (CD), and individual retirement accounts (IRA) on which you are an owner. Eligible investments are those in your name, made through us or which HFA reports to our deposit system for inclusion in the Total Relationship Balance, and generally include investments (both IRA and non-IRA) held in brokerage accounts and certain direct investments in mutual funds and annuities, as well as advisory account balances. Investments held in IRAs and agency accounts with Huntington Private Bank®, as well as personal agency accounts within the Trust Group that utilize your Social Security number, are also eligible. We figure the Total Relationship Balance each month by adding the qualifying balances, as we determine them, for all of your eligible accounts to the average daily balance of this checking account for the monthly statement period.

Your Total Relationship Balance includes eligible deposits held directly with The Huntington National Bank® (Huntington) or eligible investments made through our affiliate, Huntington Financial Advisors® (HFA).

Ұ Relationship rate benefit. The interest rate on your Relationship Money Market or Relationship Savings Account may be better when you also own a Huntington Perks Checking or Huntington Platinum Perks Checking account. Ask a banker to see a rate sheet for details. Your interest rates and APY will be determined based on your zip code. Please note: If you are an existing Huntington customer with an address outside of our eleven-state footprint, your interest rates and APY will be determined based on a Columbus, Ohio, regional zip code.↩
Ω The Home Equity Line of Credit Relationship Discount. The “Rate Discount” consists of preferred Annual Percentage Rates and related preferred variable rate margins applied to your Home Equity Line of Credit (which is also referred to as a personal credit line or "PCL"). To be eligible for the Rate Discount, you must have or open a Huntington Platinum Perks Checking®, SmartInvest Checking® or Private Client Account (these accounts are a "qualifying checking account,") and have at least $25,000 in qualifying relationship balances ("qualifying balances"). Qualifying balances include money that is on deposit in all Huntington consumer deposit accounts (checking, money market, savings, certificate of deposit (CDs), and individual retirement accounts (IRAs)), on which you are an owner; and all Huntington Consumer investments (IRA and non-IRA) held in brokerage, trust, or managed money accounts. Existing annuities with a cash value account balance opened by Huntington Financial Advisors® are also qualified balances, however, annuity accounts opened on or after the HELOC application date are excluded from the HELOC qualifying balances. Investment, trust and annuity account balances will be assessed based on their respective balances that are periodically reported to Huntington systems by a variety of third-party sources. Your specific Rate Discount will depend on the total amount of qualifying balances that correspond to our balance requirement discount rate tier grid. Ask a banker for details. If you do qualify for a Rate Discount, you will then also qualify for an Annual Fee Waiver ($60, $50 in MN) during the first year your HELOC is open and during the subsequent years over the PCL Draw and Repayment Periods, as applicable, for as long as you maintain your qualifying checking account in good standing with us. If, at any point during the PCL Draw Period or Repayment Period ("Period(s)"), you close your checking account or the account is closed by us for any reason, your Annual Fee may be reinstated for the following year and for each subsequent year during those Periods, as applicable. Rate Discount eligibility is subject to account and balance validation when Huntington prepares your PCL agreement for your signature.
Huntington HELOC is subject to credit application and approval. The Rate Discount and Annual Fee Waiver apply only to new HELOC customers which are defined as customers without an existing Huntington HELOC on the subject property within the last 180 days of closing on the new one. APRs range from 2.96% to 17.24%. Rates on the HELOC are variable based on Prime plus or minus a margin and can change monthly but will never be higher than 18.00% APR. The margin is based on your home’s loan-to-value ratio, lien position, owner occupancy status, applicant’s credit history, and the amount of the credit line. “Prime” and “Prime Rate” mean the “Bank Prime Loan” rate published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in its statistical release H.15 (510) entitled "Selected Interest Rates." Use of the word "Prime" does not mean that the rate is the best or lowest rate offered by any lender. Current Prime Rate is 8.00% as of September 19, 2024. Rates may change at any time. Borrower-paid title insurance may be required on loan amounts greater than $750,000. Mail-away Fees, which also include a notary fee, range from $125 to $375 and will apply when closing is facilitated by a third party on Huntington’s behalf. In this instance, a $25 courier fee will also apply. Insurance must be carried on the real property securing the account, and flood insurance is required on buildings located in a special flood hazard area. There is a Draw Period for 10 years after the account is opened during which advances and purchases may be made, and during which reductions to principal are not required (unless credit limit has been exceeded), followed by a 20-year Repayment Period during which the minimum monthly payments amortize the outstanding balance on the line at the end of the Draw Period. Making only the minimum payment during the first 10 years will not reduce the principal balance on the account.↩
≠ Mortgage Relationship Discount. Mortgage Insurance may be required for loans that have a less than 20% down payment which will increase the APR and result in a higher loan payment. Interest rates and fees are subject to change without notice. Huntington’s mortgage division offers many different mortgage products; your APR may vary depending on the product for which you apply. All loans are subject to loan application and credit approval and receipt of a property appraisal demonstrating sufficient value. To be eligible for the Rate Discount, you must have or open a Huntington Platinum Perks Checking®, SmartInvest Checking®, or Private Client Account (these accounts are a “qualifying checking account,”) and have at least $25,000 in qualifying relationship balances (“qualifying balances”). Mortgage Relationship Discounts vary based on the (1) type of mortgage product the customer has applied for, and (2) the customer’s Mortgage Relationship Balance held in any eligible account, which include all Huntington consumer deposit accounts (checking, money market, savings, certificates of deposit (CDs), and individual retirement accounts (IRAs) on which you are an owner), and all Huntington consumer investments (IRA and non-IRA) held in brokerages, trusts, or managed money accounts. Existing annuities with a cash value account balance opened by Huntington Financial Advisors®, are also eligible accounts, however, annuity accounts opened on or after the mortgage loan application date are excluded from the Mortgage Relationship Balance. Investment, trust and annuity account balances will be assessed based on the account balances that are periodically reported to Huntington systems by a variety of third-party sources. Other requirements include an open Huntington Platinum Perks Checking®, SmartInvest Checking® or Private Client Account checking account and a signed agreement at the time of closing for Huntington to automatically draw monthly mortgage payments from any Huntington checking account. The Mortgage Relationship Balance amount(s) must be on deposit at Huntington at least one (1) business day prior to the issuance of the final Mortgage Closing Disclosure prior to the loan closing in order to receive this benefit, and will not include any funds needed for down payment on the mortgage transaction. Huntington’s Mortgage Relationship Discounts are subject to change without notice. Program eligibility is subject to account and balance validation.↩

§§ The business can avoid the monthly checking maintenance fee ($40.00) for any statement period on this checking account when the business keeps a total deposit relationship balance of at least $50,000 in a combination of deposits held directly by us. Eligible deposits are this checking account and any other checking, money market, savings, or certificate of deposit (CD) account(s) owned by the business, but deposits owned by separate legal entities (even those that share EINs or TINs) are not eligible. We figure the total relationship deposit balance each month by adding the average daily balance for all eligible deposit account balances of the business for the applicable statement period. We calculate the average daily balance by totaling the balances in your account from the end of each day in the applicable statement period and dividing that amount by the number of days in that period. However, for new accounts or closed accounts, we only count the number of days that the account was open during the applicable statement period for purposes of determining the average daily balance. Personal Checking Account Relationship Benefit: The business can also avoid the monthly checking maintenance fee for any statement period on this business checking account when a business owner maintains a personal Huntington Platinum Perks Checking® Account, Private Client Checking Account, or a SmartInvest Checking® Account through that same statement period. Business ownership for the purposes of this benefit is defined as a 25% or greater beneficial ownership interest and is determined by information in Huntington’s client records. To remove the benefit of a personal relationship, the owner of the personal checking account will need to contact (800) 480-2001.
