Bankrate staff insights
"I've used Huntington Bank as my primary bank for over a decade and have always appreciated how easy it is to conduct my financial business through them. Huntington’s early pay feature means my direct deposit comes up two days early, which is nice to have," said a Bankrate staff member and accountholder. "Though, I’ve generally had to look elsewhere to earn a competitive interest rate on my emergency fund savings."

In July 2024, Bankrate collaborated with a third-party vendor to survey 1,200 bank account holders nationwide. Bankrate and our vendor collected and summarized account holder responses to five rating questions on a 5-point scale as well as open-ended reviews of the banking experience. Responses are based on individual account holder product details, and therefore cannot be verified for accuracy. Reviewers received an incentive for their feedback. Their ratings are unedited and have not been reviewed or approved by the associated bank or credit union, nor do these responses reflect Bankrate's own expert review of these banking products.
