I have had the displeasure of using them two different times for loans. The first time was pretty bad and I vowed I would never use them again. The second time I didn't realize the car dealership had put the loan in with them till it was too late. I have never had a good experience with them, they are the worst to deal with. They have all kinds of hidden fees and they're just generally unscrupulous. Beware, if you try to use online banking as I have always done, they'll accept your first payment and then refused the second payment.
They did me that way with my first loan. I didn't know they had refused it till there was a late charge. They tried to say my bank refused it, but my bank has never refused any payment. The second time I had a loan with them, they had all kinds of hidden fees and charges. Also, beware, every customer service officer will tell you a different story and claim that the other officer was misinformed to n what they told you. Beware, they are a terrible place to deal with! The worst loan dept and customer service EVER!

I had to call Huntington about an account problem that occurred today, and I actually ended up hanging up and calling back because the people I spoke with the first time were so rude. Thinking it was a fluke, I called back and got two different people who were worse! What happened to their customer service? I used to get great service when I called there, but now it's like a low rent call center and the only training they get is how to be jerks. I have been with Huntington for about 12 years now, but I'm done. Paying them off this year and moving to a local credit union.

Background: We have accounts w multiple banks and I needed to send money from one to to my wife. 1st I tried to send money via Facebook Messenger app. The 1st "test" amount of $1 made it through. Future attempts blocked. Called customer service. They said I had exceeded my daily ATM limit (really? $1 exceeded my limit?? I had not used any ATM that day and upon questioning they admitted they could see that.) When I asked what was my ATM limit... surely it couldn't be just $1... They said they didn't know how to find out! They're customer service and they do not have basic information like that??!
They said they "sent a code good for 3 days" to get my account unlocked... it never worked. Customer service then simply dropped the call by announcing they "could not do anything further. Goodbye." No standard; "I'm sorry. Can I help with anything else? "...just hung up on after I'd waited 20 minutes on hold to waste my time further with their inept customer service. I'm STILL locked from sending money via F.B. Messenger. It’s been 4 days.
Next I logged into their THEIR OWN mobile banking app since they have the same function... Allowing a customer to send money immediately. As a test I sent $10 to my wife, but again future attempts blocked. Called customer service. 1st they could not find the initial test amount, then they could not see the failed attempts. Finally they figured it out... since I attempted to send a small amount followed by a large amount it was flagged as a security risk and shut down. They would have to contact their fraud dept... but they had all gone home at 5pm!! My wife would have to wait until next workday!!! (I'm glad this didn't happen on a Friday night... It would be a 2 day delay before anything done!)
Huntington... I hope someone at your bank reads this someday! YOU ARE A BANK. IT IS THE 21ST CENTURY. FRAUD HAPPENS 24/7/365. DO NOT INCONVENIENCE THE PEOPLE WHO PAY YOUR SALARIES. (In case you've forgotten, that's your customers...who from the looks of other reviews are just as frustrated by your 1980's policies and inept, obviously untrained, rude customer service dept.)

This Morning I logged into my Huntington Bank Account just doing a quick check to make sure my checkbook balance was the same as online and make sure I had not missed writing down anything I purchased in my checkbook. I normally do this task once a week. But Today I log in and as I am logged in I notice I have a security alert notification. I click on it to read the message and it tells me that my account was logged into from a device that was not registered and unknown to them. It said the login had happened 2 nights ago at about 1 am EST. I was asleep and know for a fact I was asleep at that time of morning. It had a number to call immediately if this login attempt was not me. So I call the number.
After going through a robot mode of multiple choice reasons I am calling and then being transferred to a representative who tells me very quickly she needs to transfer me to another department because she can't help me with a security issue and places me on hold for close to 30 min and finally picks back up and says hello only to then apologize when I say it's still me on hold and she again says she will transfer me. This time I am redirected back to the robot wanting to again know why I called and all and go through the robot questions again and verify my account info again with the robot. Then I get another woman from some other department who can hardly speak a word of understandable English. She can't understand me at all even though I talk slow and repeat my issue 3 times so she tells me to hold while she transfers me again and I suddenly get disconnected.
After being on hold all that time the woman just hang up on me. So I then call my local bank branch instead of the toll free number the security alert told me to call... Again I go through the robot crap and get a woman at my local branch who yes finally can fully understand and speak fluent English and she is able to assist an American here in the center of America!!!! The lady at my local branch however needs to transfer my call to a different department where someone who handles security issues can tell me details of what happened and help me. I am again placed on hold where I remain waiting and waiting with a sound of a phone ringing occasionally only to then go back to silence and then every few min a sound of the phone ringing again.
Finally some guy answers and immediately without me being able to say a word asks me to please hold and I sit there on hold another 11 min and 17 seconds before he answered again and asked me how could he help me. I explain yet again to the now 4th person today what happened and why I am calling not counting the robots I had to talk to as well...before being placed on hold to begin with. The man tells me that the reason I got the security alert was because I tried to log into my account from a device I had never used before. And it was no big deal. I explain how I was asleep at the time and know for a fact I was not logging in at 1 am 2 days ago and he says well then if it wasnt me then did I give someone my username and password and I said, "Of course not. If I did all that why the hell would I be calling you" and he tells me, "Ok please hold..."
And for the second time today I was disconnected by a representative of Huntington Bank for no reason other than they thought it was funny to not help me. So this time I said to hell with them. I got in car drove to my local branch, walked in, explained the situation to the branch manager, gave her the first names of the two ** who disconnected on me on the phone from who knows where and I closed my account fully as well as my savings account and drive right down the road to PNC walked in and opened an account there.
The bank manager tried to talk me out of doing that saying she would find out the problem but I explained to her if a bank was so insecure with my money that someone from another city could hack my bank account and it take me that much trouble all day long on phone and then have to drive to bank to basically beg to talk to the manager or someone who can help me find out if my account was safe that I really didnt need my money in a bank that was that unsafe. I wouldnt advise anyone else to use this bank either. I usually in past was high on their small town customer service but they are getting far too swelled head now so if they want to treat customers like dogs then I will do business with a big dog bank compared to them

I recently opened a new account with Huntington Bank. I took a photo of a check from my employer to deposit with their app, since my direct deposit would not be available for another week. When depositing my check the app notified the funds should be available within 1-2 days. That night I went home and received an email stating that my check had a hold on it. I called the bank and found the hold was for 7 days! I called the customer service number and was told nothing could be done about the hold, even after speaking with a supervisor who was extremely rude.
That night I tried to log back into my account and found the supervisor placed a hold against my account so not only do I not have funds but now I cannot access my account at all, not online or in the app. I called again today and I was placed on hold for 30 minutes from 4:30-5:00 pm, I was then told by the customer service agent that the department that handles that situation closed... Of course they did, I was on hold for 30 minutes!
I am a new customer, I was happy to bank with Huntington but now I am living a nightmare. I cannot access my funds or my account to see when my funds come in. I have bills to pay that are now overdue. Shame on you Huntington for treating a new customer who likely would have opened additional accounts with you this way. I feel punished for asking about my funds and this account will be closed ASAP! Shame on you Huntington, you could learn a thing or two about customer service.

After using Huntington Bank for car loans for years, I will never again. Have been working on an issue for several weeks with no results, huge runaround, zero satisfaction, and to find out they have wrong address... and say they cannot change that. Also cannot email information nor contact in any other manner all the while continuing to rack up fees that are not being reported due to wrong address. Currently have a formal complaint lodged as final resort so that recorded phone calls can be heard. I am buying new vehicle this weekend and will not be using Huntington. I have 53 and Chase and I will discontinue any dealings with Huntington.

I got an auto loan through Huntington Bank (from the dealer) and paid through the duration of the loan (72 months) until it matured. When I was finished they informed me I still owed almost $3,000 dollars. They wouldn't explain to me why and wouldn't let me talk to managers or anybody that could explain it to me. Finally I just kept paying my monthly payment until it was paid off and one evening a repo truck showed up at my house to tow my car...which should have been paid off! I called the bank while the guys were here and the woman couldn't care less and wouldn't take a payment over the phone. They just wanted more fees.
Even the repo men couldn't believe it and didn't want to tow my car but they had too. This was an absolute nightmare and completely humiliating as well. I paid the balance the next day (plus almost $500 in fees that Huntington added). Please beware and NEVER do business with this scam bank... I wish I had read these reviews BEFORE I got a loan through them. They should be illegal.

Second time in one year. I cashed my employers check, written to me, for cash-no deposit. Again, second time! Huntington Bank of Niles, OH. (different branch each time) deducted the funds from "my" personal checking account. Did I mention second time, same situation? Now..."I" have to wait 6 days for them to correct it. Meanwhile, this money is unavailable to me and will cause my account to overdraft. When it takes 15 minutes for them to play on a screen, then finally give me the money...they end up deducting it from my own checking account when the check came from another person. 2019, today's technology and this happens twice in one year? I am researching other financial institutions as this repeated incompetence is unacceptable. PS. I don't get to charge them a fee for their error.

We purchased a vehicle that was financed through Huntington National Bank. The difference between our loan and the payoff was $1225. I was told that the reason was $899 GAP insurance, $250.24 some other type of insurance not explained and $75.03 in case we abandoned the truck. However, we cancelled the warranty and GAP insurance and checks in the amount of $752.64 and $2,348.10 were sent and received by Huntington on December 28, 2017 (this is now January 2019). They said the amount of $750 was misapplied as a payment instead of the GAP insurance.
I have been talking with them for three weeks and they still can't explain the difference. Even if the $750 was applied as a payment, then there is $475.00 that can't be accounted for, plus they have been charging us for GAP insurance for over a year. Huntington Bank told me today that the loan is closed and they won't help me any longer with satisfying my confusion. We will never deal with Huntington National Bank again.

I have my auto loan through Huntington and in May 2018 I had to declare bankruptcy. I still had more payments on the loan, but I can't get the bank to allow me to see my amounts I owe, neither in coupon books nor online. I can call and get amounts. They claim this is because of my bankruptcy. I have been paying ahead and extra on the account in order to pay off the loan, but I can't determine how much I still owe due to Huntington's secrecy on what I owe. You would think Huntington would want to work with someone looking to PAY them the money the bank is owed. Currently looking to refinance the autoload with another institution.

Staff at the Bank call the Police if you are not the "right" color or if you attempt a transaction in an amount that exceeds what they believe your color should be handling. The Bank issued a statement in fact confirming that this was the policy at a Cleveland branch. In my own case, they refused to give me a 5 and 4 singles when I gave them quarters (I was turning in loose quarters). They also once deposited a $5,000 check as only $4,000, correcting the mistake after I brought it to their attention. The staff is poorly trained and are now documented to engage in racial profiling. None of these issues are so serious though that a well organized BOYCOTT of the bank wouldn't affect a permanent resolution overnight. At any rate, do business with your local credit union and move away from what is, in essence, an organized criminal ring.

I have banked with Huntington for many years and preferred them over all other banks for a long time. I have had savings, checking, auto loan, mortgage, retirement, and business accounts with them. But over the past two years I have had so many problems with getting hit with seemingly random "monthly service fees" on accounts that I have had for years that never had service fees before. I also had issues with automatic payments somehow not going through from my Huntington checking account to my Huntington auto loan account. And then I would get hit with fines even though I had not done anything to cause the problem. I thought it would be no problem to get it sorted out but I was shocked that they were not understanding about it at all and treated me like it was my fault. It happened more than once and it got to the point that they would only partially refund me on these mystery fees.
Long story short I ended up canceling all of my deposit accounts with Huntington because I just never knew when some kind of fee was going to appear on my account. And neither the customer service folks nor the local branch employees could tell me why I was being charged these fees. I even got escalated from one manager to the next and nobody could give me an explanation or assure me that the issue would be fixed. I estimate that I probably ended up paying $600-$800 in non-reimbursed fees in the first quarter of 2018. I won't be surprised if I hear about some sort of class action lawsuit in the next couple years.
Unfortunately I also administer a business account with Huntington as the bookkeeper of an organization I am involved in. And wouldn't you know it that this month we started getting some mysterious "monthly service fees" out of nowhere that we have never been assessed before. It's infuriating and I have lost all trust in this bank. I think that this sort of conduct borders on criminal. Do not bank with Huntington, period. There is no shortage of other options. The way I have been treated with Chase is like night and day by comparison.

I had a promotion code that offers $500 for a combined checking and money market account of over $25000. In early August, I went to the local bank in Parma, OH and told them that I wanted to take advantage of this offer. After 60 days I went to the local bank asking why they hadn’t credit my account as promised. They told me it is 90 days so after 100 days it was still not credited to my account. I called the customer service and was told the link between accounts was incorrect and they would investigate the case and constantly update me. I didn’t received a single update so after 10 days I called again, I was told investigation was not in my favor because the $500 is for checking account only. That was a flat lie since the promotion was clearly said for combination of checking & money market. I have decided to close my accounts in the next couple of weeks because I cannot trust these people to keep my money.

Huntington decided it was okay without my permission or knowledge to take $2,400 out of my savings account and put into someone else’s account.

We have an auto loan with Huntington Bank and thought we were nearing end of 6 year loan. We've paid our auto loan online and have always paid the amount requested for the payment. Except for 3 times when we skipped payments around Christmas (which they and a lot of banks allow). We did have to make late payments, because we missed due dates by a few days (but had never been 30 days late until now). We made payments online in October and November and then were notified we were 30 days late for not making a payment of around $1600 because the loan had become due. This is 5 times the amount of our normal payment and never showed online where we make our payments. They say this large amount is due to the 3 deferred payments and approximately $600 in interest charged on the late payments.
My complaint is why didn't these amounts ever show online until we called today to complain, and now is too late. We now have a 30 day late payment on our credit report. When questioned about why this amount wasn't show online, they said it wasn't their policy and then they went on to tell me why it was my fault. When all they had to do is put the information where we and most people make payments. I've learned Huntington is definitely not about helping or doing the right thing. They're just about making excuses and blaming customers for doing everything wrong. They're just unable to say we're sorry, this should have shown online. What can we do to make it right.

After explaining my situation to 5 or 6 different employees who all tell me different solutions, my account is still overdrawn for almost $2,000. They said I could remove a “stop pay” from my account after these pending charges came off and I did. So I make the payment for rent and wake up the next day to see my account was now overdrawn by 4 rent checks!! So now I have zero cash, bills to pay tomorrow and bounced transactions to go along with my overdrawn account. This is the second time this bank has told me the wrong thing to do and screwed me financially. Once this is fixed I’m switching banks! They are awful.

One month ago, four fraudulent transactions appeared in my online bank statement. I called immediately and the charges were even still pending and had not been charged. The customer service representative refused to block the transactions and said that they needed to investigate. The transactions together, totaled $1200. Within two days, they issued me a provisional credit. I never received any further communication from Huntington, regarding the transactions, leading me to assume that everything had been resolved.
Fast forward exactly one month to the date that the provisional credit was issued, and Huntington Bank pulled all of their provisional funds, in a series of four transactions. When I went into my branch to ask what was going on, I was informed that I never should have touched those provisional funds, and they were still investigating and the funds aren't guaranteed. The financial pressure mounts as I am now facing several overdraft fees, as many of my bills are debited from my account monthly and this move has wiped out almost my entire account. Not only do I have a family to take care of, but this is also in light of the holiday season and could not have happened at a worse time.

I paid off my car loan by calling and getting the payoff amount, paying over the phone with a confirmation number. Two days later, I noticed the bank withdrew my regular payment from my checking account. I called to have that payment reversed and canceled and the "customer service" representative told me all that they could do is wait until both transactions posted and then after 15 days will write me a refund check. Seriously?!? Meanwhile, it has already cleared from my checking account and I get to sit and wait until they write me a refund check for their mistake. I will never use this bank again for anything.

I have been with Huntington for 7 years. I have recently moved out of state and there aren’t any branches here in Florida. From the move I made a dispute with the movers I hired, Charter Van Lines a whole different story. Huntington reversed a charge I had requested for breach of contract. With no notice to me, the bank then withdrew the money they credited back which caused a windfall in my account. Now, I am not able to go to a branch to resolve the matter. I explained this and also asked why I didn’t receive anything to alert me. The case was being reviewed again per Charter Van Lines. They told me they sent me documents to review but again I never received anything!

We opened a business checking and personal checking accounts. We were offered a promotional 0% interest for balance transfers to the Voice Credit Card. We transferred a balance from another card and began using the credit card for purchases. Every month we would pay the balance of the purchases we made, yet we were getting interest fees. We took our statement to our branch and they called their credit department. We were told we had to pay the monthly purchase amount plus the minimum due to avoid interest. The following statement we did just that and got charged interest again. I called CS and got a very rude unhelpful woman. I then spoke to the teller at my branch and she filed a dispute for me, and stated that what I was being told was not what she had been trained about the way the 0% balance transfer works.
I received a call a week later from the resolution dept. and when I explained the situation to the woman she said she would have to look into it and get back to me. About a week later she called and basically said that because Huntington uses a daily average balance that even though we pay off the purchase balance every month we will still have interest from any purchases made after the last date on the statement. The only way to avoid interest is to not use the card and only pay on the balance transfer. This is so shady that even their own staff can't understand it and explain it. I spoke to four different people and got four completely different answers. Needless to say I will be taking my business elsewhere. Anybody has got to be better than this crooked bank. As a side note: because we were told incorrect information when we opened our accounts we ended up having to switch all of them. BEWARE! 1 star only because it won't let me give none.

Some, not all, but definitely more than a few agents in the business department of this bank's customer service helpline are extremely rude, and difficult to deal with. They have no respect whatsoever for the client, and will not only talk over you continuously, but they also have a very condescending attitude and won't allow the customer to get a word in edgewise. It's a very "I know better than you, and that's how I'm going to treat you" type of approach. It's off-putting and extremely irritating considering that many of them have little to no idea what they're actually talking about. It definitely makes me question whether or not I want to continue banking with Huntington concerning both my business and personal finances. This is something that I strongly suggest they work on sooner rather than later before they begin to lose clients, and by extension, their clients' funds.
Their policies for disputing charges, and providing evidence of said fraudulent charges are also very complicated and inconvenient. If a client is required to provide evidence supporting their claims, then they should be able to do so via email rather than having to print out the evidence, and take even more time out of their busy schedules in order to travel to a branch and turn it in by hand. It is ridiculous that a bank as large as Huntington still has such outdated systems that they aren't even able to accept forms, which they themselves request, by any other means than delivery by hand. We live in a digital age, and Huntington would do well to catch up with the rest of the world in that regard.

I received a mailer offering $300 bonus for a new account if you made $2000 in deposits within 60 days. This offer was also on their website when I opened the account from home (so convenient... so I thought). Well, the Promotional code I had on the mailer was not accepted by their system but since it was offered on their site I thought no problem right? Wrong! I contacted their customer service department because I never saw the $300 and they said the code is "not recognized". I offered to send them a copy but they didn't want it. They put in a dispute but said I would likely not receive the $300 so I will be closing the account just on principle. I can't deal with shady businesses practices.

There is no way to put travel alert online. I had to call and the travel alert could be of maximum 30 days.

International calls are expensive. Why would they not accept my verification when I can already log into the account and also verify their codes and my social security, card, security number and everything? How could I do a text verification when I am abroad and do not have access to my number/texts? Pathetic.
On return I found out that they were double dipping. I always try to pay on time and for last two months, they took money out twice. With all other banks, if I set up for autopayment but want to pay early, they would just acknowledge the payment and not make payment twice. It took me 21 minutes to connect to credit card service. Amazing! And they can't fix all the problems and you'd have to call back during the daytime. This card is worth nothing! I should stick my Chase Sapphire, Ventura and Discover.

Had a checking account with them & took out a 5 year loan for $3000 back in December 2012. My account got compromised in May 2016 & was closed by them. The amount I got wasn't enough to pay all my expenses. My VA check was sent back making all my bills late including the loan with them. Got caught up fairly quick on all including the loan with them. Was within 2 payments of having it paid in full & they added $1499 to it in December 2017. Have made 1 of the 2 remaining payments plus I've made a payment to a collection agency. They continue to mail me letters from their recovery department saying to call them. Am not going to do so as one of the credit reporting agencies states it's 100% paid while the other 2 shows it's 52% paid.
Am going to make that final payment before the end of the year & am including a note stating they won't be receiving any more payments from me as I haven't any more payment coupons left. Am not going to contact them regarding that account as it's paid in full & the next letter I get from them is one stating it's paid in full because it will be.

Take dormant accounts warnings seriously! Many states, like Ohio, have laws to channel money from accounts of the deceased to the state. In the case of Huntington National Bank ("Huntington" ), "under state law" it reports an account as "dormant" (First step in the $$ going to the State) if you have no transaction with that account for 11 or more months and IF, and only if, 1) the account is not "linked" to an "active account;" 2) You do not have another "active" account with Huntington; or 3) you do not inquire of them about the account during that period. Note that all three of these conditions would indicate that you are not dead.
All three conditions that bar dormant status applied to our money market account in question: 1) It WAS linked to an active (checking) account (confirmed several times by Huntington); 2) I and my wife did write to Huntington and telephoned its representatives multiple times about the account after the false claim that has become "dormant": and 3) We (still and temporarily) HAVE other active accounts with Huntington. So, one could reasonably conclude that we are not dead yet.
Nevertheless, we received an email (Unsigned. No return mail or email address. Email replies not allowed. Entity sending not identified) stating that in a few weeks our money market account would go "dormant" with several adverse consequences (The ultimate loss of the account balance was NOT mentioned, but the statute ultimately requires it.)
You are not allowed by Huntington to communicate with the "dormant accounts department" which is driving this lash-up - only with the utterly clueless "customer service representatives," who do not even understand the issue, much less have reasoned answers. And, no, they will not transfer your call to someone who can rationally discuss the matter. Huntington ignores everything you point out and grinds on down the path to, ultimately, sending your money to the State. Just after we received the initial "dormant account" warning, the local Huntington branch Manager, familiar with our business with Huntington entities, assured me, face-to-face, that we could ignore that notice because, "obviously," the account was not "dormant."
In the almost two months after I pointed out his assurances in one of my letters to Huntington, he utterly ceased to be available to speak to me by telephone or in person. (I do hope he did not get in trouble for being right. He is the only Huntington representative who comes off looking anything like "customer focused," and he knew the Huntington rules on dormant accounts, when no other Huntington representative I have reached has had a clue.)
Even in response to the federal banking authorities (the useless Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) the only communication from Huntington, signed by their primary company advocate "Sue ** "[Ironically mistitled "Customer Advocate"]) mindlessly repeated the conclusory, "The above-mentioned [account]... is in an inactive status...," ignoring the several reasons why it is not dormant under Huntington's published practices or the state statute. (Is "inactive" other than "dormant" or does the writer simply not know the Huntington terminology?) She attached one month's bank record to prove a year's inactivity. All the records prove is that the account in question is "linked" to an active account, precluding dormancy under Huntington's published practices or Ohio law.)
Additionally, at least two other Huntington reps told me on the telephone that, although knowing nothing about the issue, they could see that our money market account was not dormant. Their reasoning to that, correct, conclusion is unknown. We gave up and closed the account before Huntington could send our money to the State. Guess we are alive after all, reports of our deaths being exaggerated and all that. Others should be warned about this arrogant company.

So I've been with them for a few years now and I am extremely upset with them. I get paid every week and I know how much money I earn. I pay my bills and go out for lunch before shopping for essentials. On multiple occasions, the fast food transaction will show up right away and I spend what I have left. Then a few days later it disappears from my transactions without refunding the money for the transaction. It then shows up days later and puts my account in the negative. When I tried contacting them about it, they told me it was my fault and I need to balance a checkbook better.
I was pissed because it shouldn't be my fault for their system messing up and their attitude to fix the issue was nasty. I have added up my deposits and transactions and it shows I had enough money for everything and they are stealing money from me because they aren't depositing the money from the hidden transactions before taking it out again. So basically I am being charged twice for one transaction. I would bank elsewhere. It's not just fast food, it can happen to any type of transaction but most often on the fast food ones.

After 1 year, which was 10 days later, they said that they will re-review it which I believe they did not without me calling in again. Next request was to fax in a letter requesting it, and once I requested it via fax then they would mail me papers to fill out in order to cancel.
After completing that, the problem became there was a small balance of -132.00 which held up the cancellation. This amount was then paid, and then I again expected the escrow to canceled. The problem then became the auto debit was automatically canceled due to the escrow cancellation request so, the monthly payment including an incorrectly analyzed escrow payment needed to be made in order to cancel the escrow. Needless to type the escrow is still not canceled, and they want me to overpay almost twice the mortgage principal and interest payment in order to cancel my escrow.

Once you've experience a bank that does this efficiently, making it very easy to quickly pay by phone or online, it feels like you've stepped into the past when using a service that is not as efficient.
The one thing that I do like about them, however, is that this option to pay does make it easy for Huntington to find your information when calling from another phone or your phone.

Called the local customer service number and after waiting on hold over 25 minutes, I lost patience and hung up. Called the national customer service number, and when they tried to place me on hold, I complained about wait times. Nice young lady looked into it and said my current wait time would be one hour and ten minutes. I had a relatively simple issue - charged an annual fee after they told me it would be waived - and the issue is still outstanding.

Huntington bank does not stand by their customers! I filed a dispute absorbent though. I was not at fault and the items were returned. I never got my refund! $180.00 lost! Too bad for me huh? Crappy bank! They have the worst reviews of any bank in America! It's because of the crappy service and they don't have any protection for the customer! Take my advice. Go to any other bank but Huntington... Unless you enjoy getting robbed! I'm so disappointed and disgusted!

Stolen business check, sign by other and cashed. Huntington Bank said it was my fault because I did not have the checks in a safe place. Mmmm, under company desk? Also my ATM card had 5-6 charges daily until I found out via online banking. Again my fault. I've been messing with this from back early 2017 but now have to take it to court.

While we all have those banks where yes you pay on time and they smile and you go on. What really rates a lender to me is when you are going through a rough patch how they deal with it. I originally was with First Merit (they were even worse) but they were bought it by Huntington. Come to find out First Merit tacked on random late charges that are inaccurate and to transfer over to Huntington. Now instead of looking through these charges and verifying them Huntington who bought out the bank decides if you want them off you go ahead and do it. This bank is sleazy, rude, and incompetent if you are dealing with any kind of bump in the road. You are better off with one of the hometown credit unions. I can’t wait to be rid of Huntington. Awful bank awful people.

I have been Banking with Huntington for quite a while now. I have had a lot of fraud happen and the last that really got me is I added my girlfriend to my account and 2 days later they took well over 1000 dollars out of my account because she owed them from years ago. So the bank I trust with my money just stole it from me. When we contacted the HR department the lady was very rude and said, "I'm not giving you any money back." I asked if I could make payments. She kinda laughed and said, "No I'm not refunding anything" with a big attitude!! I asked why I wasn't told when I added her that she had a balance. The lady said, "We don't have to tell you that and you signed the paperwork stating we can take your money at any time for reasons like this."

I unfortunately gave this company way too many years of business. They weren't willing to refinance my car so I had to take my business somewhere else. When I stopped the auto pay I wasn't told it takes 5 days to become effective. So when my car was paid off in full by the new refinancing company, these people went and took another payment out of my checking account when there was a zero balance.

I received an auto loan from Huntington Bank through my car dealership in 2017. Here are my primary concerns: They do not have easily accessible customer service. There is no email address where you can upload attachments, for example. You can call and speak to someone on the phone if you want to be put on hold for half the day. There is nowhere you can go to provide feedback. When you enter in your bank account information to submit an electronic payment for your auto loan, the routing number/bank account number example that they show is backwards to the way they have you enter the data. This is very confusing... And if you accidentally flip-flop the bank acct / routing #s you will get a 'funds not available fee' and your payment will be late on top of it for additional fees.
The car loan online payment site has no history of transaction or schedules of transactions. For example, I just submitted a payment and have no idea if it is actually processing or if I accidentally goofed when typing in a number or what-not. They provide NO email receipts/confirmations, therefore I cannot 'add receipt' to this post. You cannot save any payment information. Most places will make you type in your bank acct # twice so that it can verify that you typed it incorrectly. Or, if you type in routing number the name of your bank will pop up so that you can verify that it is correct. This website does none of the above. You type your acct information into two blank boxes and pray that you didn't screw up. I will be taking out a loan from another bank to pay off this loan IMMEDIATELY.

I've had a horrible experience with this company. I have it where my account is not allowed to go below zero and if it does the payment should be declined. Normally I'm pretty great with my money, but as of recently I haven't had much of it in my account. When an accidental payment went through they ALLOWED my account to go into the negatives instead of declining the payment. When calling while said payment was still pending, the lady assured me it would be denied after it was done pending. Next day, it went through and my account is in the negatives still with a 24-hour grace period to pay it all off when I don't get paid for another 6 days. I called again and they said there was NOTHING they could do.
Let me reiterate, my account should have NEVER been allowed to go negative from the very beginning and this isn't the FIRST TIME this has happened and they have allowed it. This company doesn't care about its customers, doesn't bother to help, and likes to steal your money. I strongly recommend going to a bank that will actually help you. Due to being a good customer for many years now and only running into this issue this past month (because, like I said, I normally have plenty of money in my account to accommodate for accidents, I've never been forced to run into this situation) I gave it an extra star. If this is how they treat good customers, I couldn't imagine how they treat others.

However the documents that were sent to me confirmed that I indeed did everything that was ask of me which proved Huntington did not even review my case.
It is not even about the money because it was under 100 dollars. It is the principle. If I cannot trust them to fight for me with little things I cannot trust them to fight for me on a large scale.

I've been with Huntington for 10 years. I can honestly say, I've never had any issues (which is why I rated 2 stars). That's until this past weekend, when my debit card # was stolen, and thieves spent $900+ from my account. 4 separate transactions were approved in a matter moments. The transactions were from California, Minnesota, and New York. I live in none of these states. Just moments before these transactions took place, I used my debit card and pin, in my home state. One would think a bank would recognize that its literally impossible for me to go coast to coast in an hours time. As soon as the fraud alert text was received, my wife called to advise it was not us. We were advised the fees were being declined, and our money would be back in our account.
Long story short, it's been 4 days, 3 phones calls, 2 supervisor talked to, and I still don't have my money. We've been assured it's been 'rushed', but it could take up to 10 days. Needless to say, this is completely unacceptable. As a banking institution, established to protect and secure the funds of its clients, federally insured up to $250k, there is no reason I should be punished as the victim of theft. If your investigation were to yield results that this was my error, you have the power to reimburse yourself, and prosecute to the fullest extent. I completely understand that due process is required to determine what actually happened. The problem is, I'm the victim here, and feel like the criminal. People have livelihoods, and need to pay our bills. $900 is much more of an impact to the customer.

I received a check issued by Huntington Bank from one of my tenants. The amount was $1900 for rent; it was a Bank Check, not a personal check. I noticed the check was unusual; the account number was written in pen rather than printed on the bottom of the check. The amount was also hand-written rather than typed or machine printed. It certainly did not look like an official bank check. When I tried to deposit it remotely to my Bank of America account, the system wouldn't accept it. Not surprising since the format of the check was not like a normal check. Next, I took the check to Bank of America in person to deposit it. The check was not accepted by the bank because of the hand-written account number; BOA suggests I take it to Huntington.
So I drove to Huntington Bank to either cash the check or have them issue a check or money order in a standard format acceptable by the rest of the banking system. My fairly lengthy discussion involved everyone working in the small branch office; their conclusion was they could issue a check in a normal format or money order, but would charge me $10. I refused to pay this. I reminded them they issued a check to their customer which is not acceptable to another major bank. They suggested I use even more of my time, and their customer's time, to get different check from him. He is out of town and this isn't possible. The manager explained that was the best they could do, I told him it was not acceptable.
Very poor customer service, and a very unprofessional banking operation. I receive and deposit hundreds of checks; it's extremely uncommon to have a check completely rejected by the banking system. I have operated my business for 33 years and it only happened once before; with a similar check from Huntington Bank with hand-written account numbers. I would be embarrassed to be an employee or customer of such an unprofessional business. My experience was at the branch in Bath Township, Michigan (inside the Meijer store). The convenience of having a branch located in a grocery store is not worth trusting your finances to a bank that can't even issue a check in a form acceptable to the rest of the banking system. No reason to do your banking at Huntington; there are many great banks providing convenience, accuracy, and outstanding of customer service.

A couple of years ago the wife and I wanted to purchase a house locally. The house was up for auction through a national web site. Since we have been at Huntington for well about 15 years we filed for a house loan with them. So weeks before the house was going up for auction we filed for a house loan. Thinking that we had cash in a bank account to cover the house loan we knew we would have no problems getting approved. When I talked to the loan officer he suggested that we get a home equity loan on the house we live in. I stated that I'm not interested in using my home that would be paid off in just a few months as equity. So we filed for the home loan application.
For the next week or so the loan officer would take days before contacting us needing more information. He would take days answering our emails and phone calls. When he did contact us he would remind us multiple times that we could get a home equity loan. We had won the auction and during this whole time the auction site was wanting their money. Since Huntington was taking so long (many weeks) on the home loan the auction site stated that we had 24 hours to purchase the house or it would be sold to the next highest bidder. So the money that was set aside for home improvements on the house we were forced to use to purchase the house.
With us almost losing the house because of the loan officer dragging his feet I emailed the Regional Office in downtown Toledo. I stated that I was disappointed in the service that I received from Huntington's loan officer. I never did get a reply. Recently I went to Huntington for a $10,000 car loan. While filing for the car loan the manager at our local bank (who was very nice to work with) was very impressed that my wife had a credit rating of 778 and I had a rating of 820. She said we would hear from her in the next day or so. When she called the next day she said they needed more information. We submitted the information personally about an hour later.
The next day we were told that since I'm retired (I receive comfortable pension) that I needed to submit my copy of my Social Security statement. I said that I have 13 years before I even am eligible to receive SS. She stated that I still needed to submit the information. Months prior I just happened to file online for my SS information. So since I did so I downloaded the information and had taken to the bank within an hour.
The next day I received another call stating that the copy was no good and that I needed the original that I receive from the SS office every year. I told her I haven't received one for a few years. I also reminded her that my house is paid off, the $20,000 car loan that I had with Huntington was going to be paid off in the next 2 months and that whatever loan I did get with Huntington would be paid off many years before I receive any SS. She again stated that it's not her but the loan dept that has requested. I also said that I could go to the local car dealer and get approved on the spot, bring home a brand new car without being forced to jump through hoops like I'm going through right now. I never did submit the information. Recently we closed our bank account of 15 years and went to Key Bank.

I paid off my auto loan by wire transfer on 7/14. I called the bank today to find out where my title is. I was told that Huntington sent me out a "courtesy letter" on 7/24/17. (10 days after payoff). My title would be mailed out 10-14 days AFTER the courtesy letter was sent. I can expect to see my title 30 days AFTER I paid it off by wire transfer, basically cash. I asked to speak to a Supervisor to see about getting title sent quicker, Woman told me that "it's the process, nothing I can do about the process." That's big banking for you, all about process, procedure and earning money for Wall Street. Employees are like robots and bank has no care for what would morally or general appropriate treatment of customers or people. This bank treats people like just numbers...

I opened an account as a Rep Payee for social security for a client. I was NOT told at the time of opening the account that I will not be allowed online access to it. After trying to open it online and failing I went in the bank. They did tell me, "You can come in or call us for info". How ridiculous is that given today's technology. Now I will have to find another bank and change accounts and reorder checks etc all over. Been a customer in this bank since the 70's, BUT since Huntington took over it's a nightmare. I can find no real reason to deny a legitimate reason for denial.

I go into the bank everyday to make a company deposit. On this day, I got the "new" district manager who I had seen in there for the past couple weeks and also called me "Sue" to come to her window to make the deposit. She did the deposit, gave me the receipts back. I then gave her a check to cash made on the same company I had just made a deposit for around $200.00. She then informed me that I needed to give her my driver's license to scan. I said I have accounts with this bank and I just made a company deposit. She informed me that it is to prove I am who I say I am. This is the most asinine thing I've heard in a while. Shhhhh, don't tell the company I work for that I'm not really me!!! As soon as I can arrange it, my accounts are being closed down!

Huntington Banks, in Huntington, WV had a large amount of my money in their commodities for six years. Teresa told us that this would be a good place to put it and that she thought commodities would raise in value over the next couple of years. She pointed out that she had been selected as awarded an Investment Broker of the Year or something to that effect. Well, after six years we actually gained the huge sum of $4.02.
Right after we invested our money it sunk in value, on their paper reports to us and never regained its face value of investment until 6 years after our initial deposit. Huntington Bank, in my opinion, robbed me of at least 1% of interest over these years. I will never ever do any business with this company which I feel are just watching out for their profits and not wanting to help out the people who invest there. Every chance I get I try to inform someone of my experience with this so called "bank".

I will never bank with Huntington ever again and I will never recommend this bank to anybody!! When I opened up a checking account I had opted out of overdraft because I do not want to pay any kind of fees. So I have had the account for almost a year. All of a sudden a month ago transactions were going through when I had only a few dollars on my card so I was going to pay half cash half my card. Well Huntington approved the whole amount which left me in the negatives of course so I had called the bank and asked why did they allow a transaction to go through when there wasn't enough to even cover it.
The guy on the phone (which was rude) tells me I had overdraft on and I said I never turned it on for my atm/debit card but sure enough it was on which I use the app and you can't change those settings on there and according to the branches you can only do it online or call customer service. I had applied for their credit card because I couldn't get overdraft on my actual checking account without their credit card which I didn't get approved anyways so I think there was a glitch and my stuff got turned on or because I applied for their credit card that my overdraft was turned on. Since June 2017 I have been in the negatives. I have added money two times to get it back positive and not even a day later they let two more transactions go through with no money on my card.
If I have no overdraft turned on for my checking account/atm/debit card then why is Huntington keep letting transactions go through which they can't give me a full answer to! They have charged me 37.50 10x already. I keep calling customer service and they don't care! They just recently investigated my card and gave me a 300 credit and left me 48 available. Well now I am back in the negatives again because they let another transaction go through so I will be charged another 37.50.
I am now getting a lawyer and filing a lawsuit! Clearly I know if you don't have overdraft then no charges should be coming through. I already have been -500 because they keep letting charges come through when I have nothing in that account. I have had plenty of bank accounts. I know when overdraft is off the atm/debit card checking account won't work. It will decline purchases. So I am not sure why this crap is happening but I will be going after them for every damn dime!

We reported the death on 5/23 and received only one phone call back as to what will need to happen next. We got an email address and when we received the death certificate, the email came back deliverable. I was able to contact Customer Service (spoke with a very nice woman) to get another email address however what she gave was also undeliverable. I finally was able to fax document 6/8 and have not heard from anyone still!! I escalated a complaint because Probate does not take calls, the message states they return a call within 24 hours which is untrue.
I spoke with Customer Service today (I was frustrated and angry and they were not very helpful and told me my escalated complaint would take 10-14 for someone to get back to me). I was also told that Probate deals with many deaths and only contacts you when done. I am sorry but that is horrible banking customer service, do not leave a message contact will be within 24 hours if you cannot provide that service. To date I have yet to hear from Probate and I am not even sure if they got the document. It has been 8 days. I would not recommend this bank for an auto loan, especially if you are older than 75 when you get the loan, as follow up for a death is horrible.

They had set up my debit card as the card I would be using, which I didn't take with me. They stated that they would remove the fraud alert. When I tried to use it again from home, again declined. I went to local branch to cancel the card altogether and branch manager talked me into applying for a new card since the other one was tied to First Merit from the merger. The next day I received my credit card statement with a past due charge. I immediately went online and paid it. After thinking about it I checked my checking account because I was sure I paid the balance before my trip. I saw where I had paid it.

Twice now I have tried to get a home-equity with Huntington. Both times they sent the same guy who knows nothing about appraisals. My house is on Hoover Reservoir. It's updated, has lots of windows and a beautiful view. The appraiser used three comps that are not on the water and are not beautiful homes. In fact they are dated, weird and almost unfit to be lived in. Huntington appraised my house at $445,000. Just down the street a lot recently sold for $545,000. This was low because it is a very difficult lot to build on. The lot didn't even have utilities yet my house with a normal terrain, not difficult to build on, appraises for $445,000.
I understand an appraiser making a mistake. My problem is the same appraiser was sent to my house twice and made the same mistakes and they did not correct it. My loan officer Phil ** even asked me for comparables which I sent. There were numerous great waterfront comps to use. Well that was a waste of my time, They never even acknowledged I sent them. In fact once the appraisal came back I had to beg for someone to call me back. Stay away from Huntington. Big waste of time.

I opened up a checking account with Huntington Bank a little more than a month ago. This was in response to an invitation they sent me to open the account. I needed to deposit $1000 in the account which I did. I deposited it with a guaranteed check. They immediately froze it. Nowhere in any of the paperwork they sent me did it say they would freeze my deposit and since I was using a guaranteed check (guarantee that the money was available to cover that deposit, in fact had been set aside to cover that deposit and couldn't be used for anything but that) there was absolutely no reason for them to freeze it. Also I do not have a bad credit history, I don't have a history of overdrafts, there was/is NO reason for them to do this.
They sent me a letter saying their "confidential sources" told them the check might not be paid (as I already explained, that was impossible). I live on social security, that was my whole month's income and they took it and wouldn't give me access to it for no reason at all. They may have commercials on television pretending that they don't act like a "big bank" but frankly, they are the worst, most horrible people I have ever dealt with when it comes to banks.

I was a customer of FirstMerit Bank for 22 years prior to Huntington's acquisition. The staff at the former FirstMerit Banks and the Huntington branches are friendly. I have used online banking at both banks. What I find with Huntington is that when I use online bill pay they take the monies from my account but they do not always disperse it electronically on the same day as reflected by the date it was received by the payee. They give a 3 day window to disperse. Hmmm. FirstMerit would take the money from my account and electronically disperse it the same day resulting in the payee crediting my account on that day. Electronic dispersal is fast and instantaneous. Why the delay? Also, when it comes to online bill pay checks to merchants, Huntington takes the money from my account on the date I entered to send the check, then sends the check.
I had 1 check that took 10 days to get to its destination resulting in Huntington holding onto to my money until the check was cashed probably making money off it. I bet they make a lot of money off of their customers with these tactics. (Sounds like a good class action lawsuit.) I wonder what would happen if the check was never cashed. Would Huntington give me my money back? Even when the check was cashed, I could not see it in my online banking because the money was already deducted from my account when they issued the check to be mailed to the payee. I think there is something inherently wrong and unethical with a financial entity such as Huntington to be able to hold a customers money hostage for excess time with really no reason to account for it. FirstMerit never did.
With First Merit everything was transparent. I don't see that with Huntington and I foresee a change in my bank in the very near future. I also would like to note that I am still assisting my minor daughter with getting her Huntington online banking fixed b/c they screwed it up in the transition merging it into my accounts denying her online access!

Last night they processed my payment for $10k again causing my account to go overdraft. Called Huntington this morning and talked to Crystal and she said I have to wait for the payment to clear their side of the bank and wait for processing for it to be refunded to me.

Ever since the manager Jeff ** left the Powell Huntington location I have noticed a distinct drop off in service for just being able to off a deposit or pick up some cash. I'm an old guy so I don't use ATM's. I still like to get out of a car and meet the person who is handling the money... although of late, I've ventured out to the drive-through windows. For whatever reason, 5 people can be in a line and 5 employees in the "store" yet the 5 customers are provided just 2 of the tellers while others sit in front of a computer and look at a screen. In the old days, Jeff would jump up and take care of the customers.
Just the other day, I went to the Dublin location... the service was even worse... it took 10 minutes to get in front of a teller, yet the manager that greeted us after offering coffee went back to his safe place and stared at a computer! What's with that? Nothing is more important, in my view, than taking care of the people that got dressed, got in their car, drove and got out of the car to come give the company some business. I've happy to say I sold my Huntington shares when they hit 13.50+. I'm taking all my money back to where the bulk of my money is at Chase unless they can step up to the standards of Mr. **.

I went to Huntington Bank in Beachwood Oh to open a checking account. All I really needed as I explained was an account with a debit card and no fees. Really no such thing anymore but that's not the issue. A couple weeks after opening the account a credit card came in the mail. I had already received the debit card so imagine my surprise when a credit card shows up which is something I dont use or want. I stopped in the branch where I opened the account to speak with the person who opened my account. I wanted to be face to face so I could see his explanation. The guy was stammering and could hardly look me in the eye when he told me he accidentally hit the wrong key on the computer.
This was no accident. Huntington bank is following in the tradition of Wells Fargo by doing an illegal, requested, no paperwork was provided for me to sign giving permission, we never touched on the subject of a credit card. Huntington must feel that they are untouchable but they are not. Going into a persons credit report is illegal and intrusive. A bank CANNOT do a hard credit check without proper authorization which must be kept on file according to Ohio law for 7 years. If it was done to me it was done to others also. This isn't like an (oops sorry we made a mistake) thing. It is much more serious and if it takes years I will not stop until they are held responsible. There are literally tens of thousands of individual complaints about banks, you name it they have done it.
As an insurance agent I know that banks and insurance companies have entire departments to blow you off one by one. Im not an employee of any insurance companies I represent so its not as if they can fire me if I see something unscrupulous. The worst they could do is make up an excuse to terminate my contract and I go to the state of Ohio department of insurance and screw them, then I get contracted with a better co, no big deal and a whole lot of fun. Banks are different. They have employees who have 401Ks and are afraid of the big bad bank so they dont squeal easily. People get screwed over by the banks and they post something on the internet or go to a lawyer who wont take a losing case so you would need to give up thousands to get know-wear.
The regulatory agencies are unable to do anything because the banking industry gave big money to get someone elected. So no one wants to talk, no one will help and we are the idiots who get screwed with our fingers up our ** but there is a way. We can unite and not a living soul on this planet can stop us.

Together we can bring down the entire good for nothing lying greedy thieves that the banking industry has turned into and it will be replaced by something better or ill put there tails between their legs and do as their told by us. I have seen in emails the most despicable acts done to people especially the weakest in our society. Our seniors.
I have a client who was 82 at the time she told me the bank was taking 10 bucks each and every month from her account because after paying her bills she was overdrawn each month but the bank said "dont worry we will just move enough to cover it from your small savings account" but did not tell her it costs 10 bucks each month to do that. The bank knew it yet they kept screwing this poor elderly woman. And yes I did raise hell when I discovered what was going on and yes I did get most of her money back but without my help they ignored her complaints!!!
