Retail banking customers have again rated Huntington Bank highest in the North Central Region, according to the J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Retail Banking Satisfaction StudySM. Huntington maintains the highest spot for the second consecutive year among the largest financial institutions in the region.

Huntington has an overall North Central Region score of 828 on a 1,000-point scale in the 2014 study, up from 814 in 2013. The region average for 2014 was 796 and includes 24 banks, in the region comprised of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.

Huntington recently announced the removal of overdraft protection transfer fees for both consumer and business checking accounts, another Fair Play step toward driving customer satisfaction.

Huntington Bancshares’ 13-Branch Michigan Acquisition Announcement is Latest Affirmation of Strategic Investment Within the State
12:45 14.05.14

FLINT & MONROE, Mich. & COLUMBUS, Ohio --(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (NASDAQ: HBAN; www.huntington.com) announced today that it has agreed to purchase 13 Michigan branches from Bank of America Corporation, which follows a recent agreement between the companies for Huntington to purchase 11 other branches in the state.

The agreement for the additional 13-branch purchase will fill in Huntington’s presence further in East Michigan. In addition to welcoming new branch colleagues, the cumulative acquisitions will result in approximately 40 new Huntington Michigan operations jobs, contributing to Huntington employment growth of more than 500 jobs in the state between 2011 and 2014.

“With this announcement, Huntington has committed within the past four years to increase our Michigan branch network by more than 120 new locations,” said Stephen D. Steinour, chairman, president and CEO of Huntington. “We view Michigan as very attractive. We plan to continue to significantly grow our presence within the state, providing financial services solutions to an increasing Huntington consumer and commercial customer base.

“Huntington’s activity in Michigan over the past several years has not only contributed supportive investment by Huntington as an increasingly significant statewide employer, but also job retention and creation throughout Michigan as a leading business lender,” Steinour said.

The 13-branch purchase is for 11 locations in the Monroe and Flint markets and two locations in Holland and Muskegon. In terms of overlap, only the Holland and Muskegon branches and one Monroe branch overlap within two miles of Huntington’s existing branch network.

With the 13-branch acquisition, Huntington will purchase approximately $500 million in deposits, for a deposit premium of 3.5 percent based on deposit balances at the time the transaction closes, which is expected to be in the second half of 2014. No loans are included in the purchase. Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, this purchase agreement and Huntington’s previously announced agreement to purchase 11 branches in Saginaw and other markets includes nearly $1 billion of deposits.*

Huntington’s Michigan branch growth journey began in 2009 with the acquisition of the deposits of Warren Bank and continued with the 2012 acquisition of Fidelity Bank; combined, the acquisitions increased Huntington’s Michigan branches by 15. Also in 2012, Huntington announced an exclusive partnership to locate Huntington branches within Michigan Meijer stores, with 40 open to date toward more than 80 in-store Meijer branches by 2020. Correspondent with Huntington’s physical expansion in Michigan, its workforce will grow from approximately 1,500 in 2011 to more than 2,000 by the end of 2014, including staffing for branches pending acquisition.

Furthermore, Huntington has engaged in a series of public-private partnerships with the state of Michigan and Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) since 2011, including the successful completion of a $2 billion statewide lending commitment to commercial and small businesses, and the launch of the Pure Michigan Micro Lending Initiative. Huntington is also in the process of successfully concluding a $100 million Michigan affordable housing investment statewide commitment.

“Huntington is a proven partner supporting Michigan households, businesses and neighborhoods,” said Michael A. Finney, MEDC president and CEO. “The bank is also a valued Michigan employer. Expansion and investment in Michigan will provide even greater scale for Huntington and demonstrates its commitment to small business lending, a customer-friendly approach and local workforces that has and will continue to benefit Michigan’s strengthening economy.”

As a Michigan business lender, Huntington maintains the No. 1 ranking as the top Small Business Administration (SBA) lender in the state, currently making more SBA 7(a) loans in Michigan than all other lenders combined. As a consumer lender, Huntington is expecting increasing activity this year in residential mortgage and home equity lending as housing values continue to improve in Michigan and its other markets. Huntington also offers unique products including Asterisk-Free Checking®, a checking account with no monthly fee and no minimum balance requirement that comes with 24-Hour Grace® providing the opportunity to avoid overdraft fees. Huntington’s credit card, Voice™, comes with Late Fee Grace™ and the ability to choose among triple rewards categories.

Following completion of the acquisition, customers also will have access to Huntington's entire 1,500-ATM network throughout the Midwest, with no service charge, as well as more than 700 traditional and in-store branch locations.

For more information on Huntington products and services, customers can call 1-800-480-BANK (2265) or visit www.huntington.com.

Huntington Bank Offers Customers Quick Access to Their Accounts with New Mobile App Feature ‘Quick Balance’
10:00 19.05.14

COLUMBUS, Ohio --(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Thanks to a new mobile app feature, Huntington Bank customers now have the option to quickly check their account balances at the touch of a button on their mobile phones without having to go through the typical log-in process. Huntington is believed to be one of the few banks that offer the service that delivers results so fast.

The feature, known as Quick Balance, is an additional convenient service Huntington offers its customers to help them save time and keep track of their finances. With the new mobile feature, they can view their balances by opening the app rather than going through a series of steps as required by most banks.

“The most frequently asked customer question is how much money they have in their checking accounts. With Quick Balance, Huntington provides mobile customers with the ability to view their account balances in one easy step,” said Mary Navarro, retail and business banking director at Huntington.

To ensure the security of customer information, the Huntington Mobile app utilizes a multi-factor authentication system to verify identity and register devices. Once registered, customers can opt-in to the Quick Balance feature and select eligible accounts to display.

“Quick Balance provides a simple and secure way to check your balance while in line at the grocery store or between meetings at work,” said Paul Heller, chief technology and operations officer. “Along with Huntington Mobile Deposit, Quick Balance is another powerful convenient feature to help out customers in their busy, on-the-go lives."

Huntington Quick Balance and Huntington Mobile Deposit features are available in the Huntington Mobile app for iPhone® and Google Android® smartphones. For more information about Huntington Quick Balance, or Huntington Mobile Deposit, visit http://www.huntington.com/mobile.

Huntington Bank Unchains 20 Million Branch Pens in Milestone Giveaway
12:05 29.05.14

COLUMBUS, Ohio --(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Huntington Bank began detaching its pens from the ball chains that connected them to the branch counters and giving them away in 2010 as part of its initiative to break away from standard industry practices. Four years later, more than 20 million of the pens are now in circulation throughout Huntington’s Midwestern footprint, the United States and in countries around the world.

At Huntington, customers are encouraged to take the green and black pens from white bowls in its more than 700 branches – a simple, tangible gesture signaling Huntington’s eagerness to break away from the industry to be the bank customers expect. The 5.5-inch pens are embellished with the words “Huntington” and “Welcome.”

“Liberating our pens from their ball chains was just one step in our journey to differentiate Huntington in the marketplace and reinforce our culture of making customers feel welcome,” said David Clifton, Huntington’s chief marketing officer. “This simple act has led to a larger representation of our commitment to Fair Play banking and doing the right thing for customers. In that same vein, we provided customers the ability to choose their own credit card rewards category with VOICE and introduced Asterisk-Free Checking® and 24-Hour Grace®. We also invested in rebranding our branch network, ATMs, and retail apparel to drive home our welcome culture.”

The first month the pens became available, Huntington initially disbursed 331,000 to its branches. Now the bank issues more than 600,000 a month to keep up with how quickly customers are taking them in the normal course of their days and leaving them at public locations such as restaurants, dry cleaners and airports. The result has been that the pens now appear around the world.

“We never expected the pens to become as popular as they are,” added Clifton. “The quality of the pens has become a regular theme with countless anecdotes from everyday pen users including customers, waiters, and pizza delivery drivers about how they last. Customers also tell us stories about where they have seen them in their travels.”

Some of the interesting places that Huntington pens have been spotted include:

A member of the American military stationed in Afghanistan received a box of goodies from Ohio, which included Huntington pens. He gave a couple away within his troop, and days later met with Afghan Nationals who were writing with them.
A Huntington customer flew to India and was greeted by a customs official who was using a Huntington pen.
A Huntington colleague had lunch at a table beside a competitor, who was selling his bank’s services while taking notes with a Huntington pen.
Huntington colleagues have seen employees at the drive-thrus of other banks insert Huntington pens in the tubes that are sent out to customers with instructions to sign the back of the check in the tube.
During the funeral scene in the movie “Bad Grandpa,” one of the extras is wearing a Huntington pen on a chain around his neck.
Huntington will continue to distribute the pens with its next goal of reaching the 34 million pen milestone – or a pen for each household in the markets it serves.

Finds Double-Digit Cost Increases for Families Sending K-12 Students to School This Fall
12:05 22.07.14

COLUMBUS, Ohio --(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The cost of equipping K-12 public school students for the 2014-2015 school year has jumped as much as 20 percent, one of the largest year-over-year increases in the eight-year history of the annual Huntington Backpack Index. While the cost for supplies and school activities continues to climb for families, average hourly nonfarm payroll earnings rose just 2.05 percent between May 2013 and May 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The increases in back-to-school costs also far outpaced the Consumer Price Index, which rose 2.1 percent for the same time period.

According to the Huntington Backpack Index, parents can expect to pay:

$642 for elementary school children, an 11 percent increase compared to 2013
$918 for middle school children, a 20 percent jump compared to 2013
$1,284 for high school students, a 5 percent increase compared to 2013
“Huntington Bank issues its annual Backpack Index each year to help families budget and save for the upcoming school year,” said George Mokrzan, director of economics for Huntington Bank. “With the slow growth in wages, it is difficult for many families to meet the rising costs of sending children to school. We recommend that parents begin to take advantage of sales for classroom supplies and activities from now until September in order to save money. They also might use the Huntington Backpack Index to teach children about budgeting and shopping wisely.”

Increases in the Backpack Index this year were mostly the result of hikes in fees for standardized testing as well as school fees including field trip and pay to play fees. More schools are also requiring students to purchase a gym uniform. Finally, middle school students will see a hike because some districts are requiring graphing calculators with Algebra now taught earlier in many middle schools.

Parents of high school and middle school students may also face the costs of buying their children computer tablets because more schools are now using tablets in the classroom.

Since Huntington first introduced the Backpack Index in 2007, costs have cumulatively increased 83 percent for elementary school students, 73 percent for middle school students and 44 percent for high school students.

Huntington completed its own comparison shopping for the coming school year and found ways for families to save an average of $130. Saving tips include:

Start Now: The sooner you begin to comparison shop, the better. The school lists for most schools are currently available. Sales have already begun at discount and office supply stores.
Recycle: Take an inventory of the supplies you already have. Determine what you can reuse.
Check your local newspaper: Local papers carry circulars from major stores as well as discounters. Look at those ads that may offer two-for-one sales, discounts on particular items and coupons.
Shop around: Go online, compare prices and decide who offers the best deals. Don’t be afraid to buy generic items. Some retailers also will provide free shipping. So you can avoid the cost of going from store to store.
Involve the kids: Help your child create a budget and stick to it. Developing a budget and following it is the basis for all good financial education.
Source creatively: Talk to neighbors, friends and other parents to see if they have an instrument or sports equipment their children are no longer using.
Check with your school: Determine whether your school offers help in obtaining supplies for low- to moderate-income families.
Huntington Backpack Index Methodology

Huntington annually obtains classroom-supply lists from a cross-section of schools throughout the six states it serves and compiles a representative list of required supplies and fees. Costs are determined by selecting moderately priced items at online retailers. Huntington also gives 15,000 backpacks to low- to moderate-income children within its markets. Backpacks are donated this year by Meijer, Guy Brown Management, OfficeMax and Standard Register.
