Huntington Bank savings overview

Huntington’s Relationship Savings account charges a $10 monthly fee that’s 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 bank’s Premier Savings account has no maintenance fee when you also have 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

  • Checkmark

    Both accounts offer simple ways to avoid the monthly service fees.

Cons

  • The APYs on both accounts are very low.

Banks are rated by important factors such as offered interest rates, fees, minimum balance requirements, access to funds and more.

We assign a score to each type of account and its features, weigh them carefully based on importance to account holders and determine an overall score. Read our full review methodology.
