The Huntington National Bank Asterisk-Free Checking

I've had this account for years and quite like it. The overdraft protection is amazing, as my family lives paycheck to paycheck and it happens. The extra bit of grace allowing us to pay things on time is fantastic. Lack of fees is also a huge pro. I had a baby recently and am off work, and my husband has since opened his own account. I don't get fees even if my account has little to no activity for weeks or months (I also have a secondary account here, which has never had fees). They have fantastic customer service too. I've had some fees waived, like when my account was fraudulently overdrafted, and they work with you to pay back anything you owe. Husband had an account closed after it was negative when he was younger, the bank worked with him so that he could pay it off promptly even though each payment had to be very small.

I think my Huntington Asterisk-Free Checking account is great. Huntington has great customer service. I really appreciate that you can accidentally overdraft and have a grace period of a whole business day before they charge for the overdraft, that way you have time to transfer money and correct it. Their online banking is convenient and easy to use. They seem to be very proactive about security breeches and that sort of thing because I receive new debit cards at least twice a year. I have had my account for 3 years and am very satisfied.

I've had a free checking account with Huntington for 13 years. I believe it started as a student account, but was converted to Asterisk Free when they changed. I've always been extremely happy and have never had to pay any fees, even though I generally carry a very low balance and don't do many transactions or have direct deposit. Recently my husband accidentally paid a large bill from that account instead of our joint account and overdrew it by nearly $1500. Huntington happily reversed the overdraft fee after I called and explained the situation. Wonderful customer service!

Huntington has always been a good bank for me and their checking account option is no exception. Great customer service, zero fees (So many of them want to nickle and dime you now) make for a perfect, no hassle experience. There is an overdraft fee but that's pretty standard and shouldn't be an issue if you're watching your account. Get this checking account, you won't regret it.

I recently had an issue with a third party having trouble doing a bill-pay from this checking account. Once I got in touch with my local branch, they were quickly able to work with the third party to correct the error. They even assisted me with getting a late fee refunded to me. All-in-all, great service, and I've never had any problems with my checking account.

Recently I had an issue with someone using my debit card number without authorization. When I went to pay for gas my card was declined and before I could even call my local branch, I was contacted by a Huntington service agent asking questions about recent purchases. She said that she was concerned because I had been using my card in Ohio on Monday and then in Maine on Tuesday morning, the day I was then trying to use it in Ohio. We both realized that my account had been compromised and I was told that I may have to wait a week for my funds to be redirected back to my account. After talking with her for a while she took the time to rush things through and by the end of the day I had my funds back into my account and a new account number just in case. I am very thankful that this bank treats their customers like people and not just a number. Thank you.

I had a Huntington National Bank Free Checking account with them a few years back and I was very satisfied. There are no monthly maintenance fees or minimum balance fees or paper statement fees, or any of that nonsense that a lot of other banks try to pull on you. There is a overdraft charge but as long as you're up and up on your finances that shouldn't be a problem. I really can't say anything bad about them. Pretty good bank if you're in the area.

I had a checking account with The Huntington National Bank a few years ago and I didn't have too many problems with them. There's no monthly fees or anything like that. My main issue came down to my own negligence. I allowed my account to go into overdraft by mistake and were promptly swamped with overdraft fees and negative account balance fees. I was so frustrated with customer service, after having paid off the fees that I just decided to look for another bank account. The account itself was fine, just make sure you don't go overdraft or you will be looking at $100+ in overdraft fees unless you catch it quick.

I love my account with Huntington Bank. The Asterisk-Free checking is great. No fees, and I love the 24 hour overdraft protection. It is very helpful in case I get in a little trouble with balancing my books. Their internet system is fantastic, but so are the people that work in my local branch office. I had an issue with a security breech with my debit card, and they handled it so quickly and without any problems. Would recommend to anyone.

I've never been enthusiastic about a checking account before, until I found Asterisk-Free Checking with Huntington Bank! I had just moved home to the US after spending a year in Australia, and I had no American money to deposit, no savings, and no job. I was told to go to Huntington Bank over all of the other local banks, because they are much more fair with their fees and no minimum balances. The biggest problem I had been encountering was that most "free" checking accounts waived the monthly fee when you signed up for direct deposit. Unfortunately, with no current job, I could not possibly have direct deposit to my account, so I was worried about paying monthly fees while also not having a steady income. Huntington took that worry away with this Asterisk-Free account, which felt like it was made just for me! No matter what my balance or income, there are absolutely no fees. Period. There would be the issue of the steep overdraft fees, but I simply turned off overdraft protection when I opened my account, so problem solved! The app to check your balance is super straightforward and the "quick balance" feature let's you see your balance without needing to sign in to your account for when you're in a hurry or need to make a quick decision at the register.

I just recently became a member of Huntington Bank and I really like it so far. The Asterisk-Free Checking is great! I was actually able to sign up online without even having to go into a bank and transfer money directly into my account. The most serious issue I've had so far is the amount of time it actually took to transfer my money into the account initially, but the customer service reps were great when I contacted them.

The most serious issue I've had with my Asterisk-Free Checking account was when I was in Europe and my debit/credit card information got stolen. Huntington resolved the issue for me quickly, and was able to temporarily suspend my account (for three weeks) until the end of my study abroad trip. They contacted the authorities and did everything they could to make sure none of my other account information was compromised. And best of all, I never had to close my account! They let me just change the numbers and keep all of my same checking account features. All in-all great experiences with Huntington checking accounts!

I have banked with Huntington for a little over five years now. I have had the same, Asterik-Free checking account since I started banking with them. I also recently opened a second, joint account when I got married. Huntington is, in my opinion, a great bank. Their customer service is amazing. I lost my debit card when I was on a vacation out of state, and they over-nighted me a new card free of charge. When my husband and I opened our joint account, they allowed us instant access to the checks from our wedding that we were depositing. I used the wrong debit card on accident once and ended up with about 6 or 7 overdraft fees on my account. I called Huntington, explained the situation, and they waived all but one of the fees. I will be banking with Huntington for a long time to come.

I LOVE my Huntington Bank checking account! To use the services you are not charged any fees, which is completely unheard of these days. They also have a 24 hour grace period when you overdraft your account to get it up to date before they start charging any overdraft fees. No other bank has this option.

I am really pleased with my Huntington National Bank checking account. First of all, they have excellent customer service. For any troubles or issues I had, they always took care of it. During my time of running my small business, I would frequently have to make cash deposits after bank hours were closed.

I opened an account with them and immediately had a problem with a company withdrawing from my account in error. I called Huntington and the quickly prevented the money from coming out. The also help provide paperwork to prove to the company that tried to take my money it was that company's error. All at no charge. They are always professional and efficient. I will never bank anywhere else.

I recently opened a checking account with Huntington and was given the option to "opt in or out" of overdraft protection. I could either have the bank reject a transaction that goes above my current account balance, avoiding putting my account into the negative ( opt out). Or I could (opt in) allowing the bank to approve ( at their discrection) transactions above my current balance. I chose to "opt out". At the time I opened the account I was never told about any fees. When I looked at my statement yesterday there was a NSF Fee of $23. I immediately called the bank, they let me "opt in" to overdraft protection and reversed my NSF fee. I was happy to have someone go into more detail explain the difference between opt in and out.

Huntington is the only bank in my area that has a truly free checking account anymore. They don't charge you any fees regardless of whether or not you do direct deposit, write checks or do a certain number of transactions per month. Furthermore they offer a 24 hour grace period on overdrafts for debit transactions! If that weren't reason enough to bank with Huntington, all the tellers in the branch have always been very friendly with me.

I have had a checking account with Huntington for over a year now and i must say it is great. easy to understand statements, overdraft protection all just wonderful. i have a card that works just like a credit card any where i go and as a bonus a small donation is donated every time i use my card . The people at my bank are very friendly the customer service is also very awesome. they make me feel secure every time i log on to my internet banking through a different computer the security question is prompted.i get a text that tells me when money in my account is low it's fantastic. i literally have 0 complaints about this bank.

I have a checking account at a local bank where my Mom works but my boyfriend and I have been saving money in envelopes for a vacation we plan to take in a few years. I was getting too tempted to spend the cash I had laying around so, I decided to open an account where I could easily deposit money - and in cases of emergencies take some out if I did not have enough money to do something that week I could dip into it without feeling guilty. I LOVE that they are open 7 days a week and past 5pm (already a huge plus against my mom's bank!) and the tellers and the guy I worked with to open the account were super friendly, AND I even got a bonus $100 for opening the account and using my debit card a few times (all my purchases were under $5.00 so it was nice not to have to spend a certain amount to get it)! I love my Huntington account and I even use the free savings account to keep my boyfriend's money in, so we do not spend each others money. I highly recommend Huntington for a simple account with no fees or hidden charges! (It also helps that our work has Huntington accounts so they know us all very well there!)

I can not say enough good things about my Huntington checking account.. They are always offering great offers to start an account and my favorite thing about them is that there are no hidden fees. When I have a problem their customer service is always great and they never look down on me or try to make me feel beneath them. I love that no matter what I do in my account that I will know how much it will charge and that I won't be blindsided by hidden fees. I also am very impressed with the amount of security that they use both online and also when I go in the bank to assure that it is me. They have very convenient branches and are always very clean and courteous

I joined Huntington after receiving a coupon in the mail with a promo code for a $100 bonus upon the opening of a new account. I had just moved in from a different state, so a new account was a must (I had previously a local credit union in NY). I opened the account, and my bonus was credited within just a couple weeks. The great thing about this account is that there is a 24-hour Grace period for overdrafts, meaning if you overdraw your account, you can avoid the overdraft charge by making a timely deposit. I also opened a Savings account with them; online and telephone customer service is great, and I could not be any happier!

Overall I value my checking account at Huntington National Bank. There was a point in time they actually did make me very angry not cashing a check that I had because it had a Canadian routing number. I ended up opening another account at a different bank just to get charged to have the account monthly. This absolutely free checking account is nice, and that is the way it should be. After I cooled off, I realized they were more than likely just not cashing my check for security reasons. Besides the free checking, I have always had the best customer service either walking in the bank or over the phone. They have worked with me when I have been in a bind and I would recommend Huntington to anyone.

I am really pleased with my Huntington National Bank checking account. First of all, they have excellent customer service. For any troubles or issues I had, they always took care of it. During my time of running my small business, I would frequently have to make cash deposits after bank hours were closed. I could deposit the cash at any Huntington ATM and the first $250 would be available instantly. I was impressed with this because my previous banks, only the first $100 of any deposit would be available. I was also very pleased with the 24 hour grace period for any overdraft fees. For anyone who accidentally over-drafted their account, they would definitely understand how this would save them money.
