The Huntington National Bank

The Huntington National Bank is the sort of regional banking name people meet when they want everyday checking, cards, mortgages, business accounts, and branch service from a large Midwestern lender. By our assessment, it is strongest as a full-service bank with a broad consumer and commercial spread, not as a niche player. That breadth is also the trade-off: the experience is built around standard banking products and a sizable branch-and-digital mix, so it is not trying to feel small, personal, or specialized in the way a local credit union sometimes does. In practice that usually means plain account management, loan paperwork, and a website or app that has to carry a lot of ordinary banking work. Huntington is for people who want a conventional bank with many moving parts under one roof, and less for anyone looking for a narrow specialist. It sits in the middle of the big-regional-bank field and the branch network is part of the appeal.
