Do you want to open an account at Huntington National Bank and want to know if they have any bonus promotions going on?
You’re in the right place – because they do!
We have partnered with Huntington Bank to make sure we list all the new account promotions they have available.
Right now, they have some cash bonus offers for new personal checking accounts:
- $400 for a Huntington Perks CheckingSM

They also have a few cash bonus offers for business checking accounts:
- $100 to open a Huntington Business Checking 100 Account
- $400 to open a Huntington Unlimited Business Checking Account

All are solid offers that require you to deposit some amount of cash into the account within 60 days (specifics are below for each offer) and keep the account open for 90 days. There aren’t any fine print gotchas to be aware of (review our guide on bank account bonuses to see what types of gotchas typically exist in offers like this one) based on my review. The bonus is reported on a Form 1099-INT just as bank interest would be.

Huntington Savings & MMA Accounts
Huntington Bank offers savings and money market accounts, though without any promotions, called Huntington Relationship Savings and Huntington Relationship Money Market Account.
The Huntington Relationship Savings offers 24-hour grace overdraft fee relief, free overdraft protection, all day deposit, and an app. The account pays interest but it’s quite low. There is a maintenance fee that is waived if your total balance in all accounts is above $2,500.
The Huntington Relationship Money Market Account offers 24-hour grace overdraft fee relief, free overdraft protection, all day deposit, and an app. The interest you can earn on this account will be based on your balance (it starts at $25,000) and whether you have a “relationship rate,” which just means having a separate checking account. There’s also a monthly fee if you don’t have a total balance in all bank accounts above $25,000.
How do these offers compare?
We maintain a list of the best bank promotions ($100 minimum) and the Huntington Bank offer is on that page. The offer is about average and the only downside is that you have to be a resident of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania or West Virginia to get it.

Jim- great article! Do you know if Huntington does a hard or soft pull to open their checking account?
Also, for the direct deposit requirement does ach transfer work from an external bank to satisfy that requirement? Thanks in advance!
I’m afraid I do not know if it is a soft or hard pull – as for the direct deposit requirement, it’s actually not a DD requirement. You just need to transfer new money.
Opened account Dec, deposited $20k funds and 7500bonus posted 7 days later. Super easy.
My problem now is my options for downgrading and if/when I can close the account. The fine print does not disclose this information.
