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 three cash bonus offers for new personal checking accounts:
- $150 for a Huntington Asterisk-Free Checking®

They also have a few cash bonus offers for business 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. The bonus is reported on a Form 1099-INT just as bank interest would be.

Learn more about Unlimited Business
# The business can avoid the monthly checking maintenance fee ($20.00 for Unlimited Business Checking and $40.00 for Unlimited Plus Business Checking) for any statement period on this checking account when the business keeps a total deposit relationship balance of at least $10,000 for the Unlimited Business Checking account and $50,000 for the Unlimited Plus Business Checking account 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.
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.

Overall, if you’re in the service area, it’s a good offer.
Nate says
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.
cam says
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.
