Huntington Bank savings overview
Relationship Savings charges a $10 monthly fee, but it’s easily avoidable by maintaining an average daily balance of $2,500 or having a qualifying Huntington checking account. The account requires just a penny to open and start earning interest, though the APY is lower than the national average, unless it is linked with a private client account.
The Premier Savings account has no maintenance fee with an average daily balance of $300 or if it’s linked to a qualifying checking account. Otherwise, a $4 monthly fee applies. This account also pays an APY that’s below the national average. A minimum $50 deposit is required to open.
Pros
-
Both accounts offer simple ways to avoid the monthly service fees.
Cons
-
The APYs on both accounts are very low.
