You’re in the right place – because they do!

Right now, they have some cash bonus offers for new personal checking accounts:

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.

About Huntington National Bank
Huntington Bank is a national bank that was established in 1866 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. They have over 1,100 branches spread across eight Midwestern states and they’re publicly traded under the ticker HBAN (in fact, they’re also included in the S&P 500 index). They’re a regional bank but they’ve been around for quite some time and are one of the largest banks in the United States.
Huntington Bank’s ABA routing number is 044000024.
They are, as are all banks listed on Wallet Hacks, FDIC insured up to $250,000 under FDIC #6460 since January 1st, 1934.
Huntington Bank has two active promotions, both for personal accounts. We list the details of the expired business promotions in case they come back.
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.
⭐Citi Priority Account – up to $2000
Citi Priority is offering up to $2000 bonus when you open an account by 4/4/2023. Then, within 20 days of opening your account, deposit at least $10,000 in New-to-Citi® funds and keep it there for 60 days after the 21st day. The bonus amount is based on how much you can transfer but the lowest tier starts at $10,000.
Discover Online Savings Account – $150 or $200
Discover Bank is offering a $150 or $200 bonus when you open your first Discover Online Savings Account with the promotion code WH323 and deposit at least $15,000 into the account within 30 days. You get $150 if you deposit $15,000 or more and $200 if you deposit $25,000.
Bank of America – $100 Bonus Offer
Bank of America offers a $100 Bonus Offer cash bonus if you open a new account and set up and receive qualifying direct deposits totaling $1,000 or more into that account within 90 days of account opening. It has a monthly fee that is easy to have waived.
Chase Total Checking® – $200
Chase Bank will give you $200 when you open a Total Checking account and set up direct deposit within 90 days. There is a $12 monthly fee that is waivable with a monthly direct deposit of just $500, so no gotchas on this deal!
Albert – $150
Albert will give you $150 when you open an account and receive a qualifying direct deposit of at least $500 within 45 days and spend at least $200 on goods and services every 30 days for 90 consecutive days with your Albert debit card.
So the offer is competitive with similar offers at other national banks.
Overall, if you’re in the service area, it’s a good offer.

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.
