About Huntington Bancshares Incorpora
About Huntington Bancshares Incorpora
Huntington Bancshares held between $100 billion and $250 billion in total consolidated assets at December 31, 2025, ranking first in deposit market share in Columbus, Ohio (44%), Cleveland, Ohio, and Grand Rapids, Michigan across more than 1,000 branches in 14 states. The Federal Reserve serves as primary regulator of the consolidated organization, with Huntington National Bank supervised by the OCC as a national banking association. The bank completed the $1.7 billion acquisition of Veritex Holdings on October 20, 2025, adding $12.0 billion in assets, and operates two segments — Consumer & Regional Banking and Commercial Banking.
Huntington earns revenue from a mix of net interest income on its loan and deposit books and fee income from capital markets, investment management, mortgage banking, and payments. Consumer & Regional Banking serves individuals and small businesses through branches, ATMs, online banking, call centers, and national partnerships, offering dealer financing, wealth management, and consumer-friendly features such as 24-Hour Grace and Asterisk-Free Checking. Commercial Banking targets mid-market to large corporate clients in verticals including healthcare, technology, government, and financial sponsors, offering lending, treasury management, asset finance, and capital markets. At December 31, 2025, 60% of the loan portfolio comprised commercial loans — commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and lease financing — which carry higher credit risk than residential mortgages but generate higher yields. The February 2026 acquisition of Cadence Bank, a $54 billion-asset regional bank headquartered in Houston and Tupelo, for approximately $8.1 billion increased branch count to nearly 1,400 across 21 states.
Show full overview
Huntington's Cadence acquisition is expected to cause total average consolidated assets to exceed $250 billion in the fourth quarter of 2026, triggering a transition from Category IV to Category III banking organization status under Federal Reserve rules. Category III classification would subject the bank to additional enhanced prudential standards, including limitations on aggregate net credit exposures to any single unaffiliated counterparty and full LCR and NSFR requirements with an 85% outflow adjustment. The Federal Reserve revised its LFI Rating System in November 2025 to allow a firm with no more than one deficient-1 rating to be considered well managed, adjusting one supervisory standard even as the Category III reclassification tightens capital and liquidity requirements.
