4.9 Bankrate ScoreLearn more about Aven
For consumers who want options, Huntington Bank is a good choice, offering both home equity loans and HELOCs (with an optional lock-in-rate feature). But if you don’t live in one of the 14 states that Huntington does business in or are turned off by the lack of transparency regarding rates and credit score requirements, consider working with a different lender.
Dating back to 1866, Huntington National Bank is a regional bank headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The company operates more than 1,000 branches throughout 14 states, providing consumers with a full array of retail banking services, including mortgage refinancing, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit.
Huntington Bank offers the following home equity products:
Huntington Bank earns a 4 out of 5 for affordability primarily because of the abundance of fees.
Huntington Bank scores 3.4 out of 5 for availability because it doesn’t disclose its credit score requirements, and its footprint is limited.
Huntington Bank earns a 4.7 out of 5 for borrower experience due to the limited information about its home equity loan on its website.
How easy is it to contact Huntington Bank?
When we called the bank, our call was routed to a mortgage representative in about a minute. During our call, the representative answered our questions about Huntington’s home equity products and provided useful information about the requirements to get a HELOC through the bank.
Huntington Bank gets an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and has been accredited since 1921. In J.D. Power's 2025 U.S. Retail Banking Satisfaction Study, Huntington Bank received above-average customer satisfaction scores in some locations (including Pennsylvania and the North Central region) but below-average scores in others. But, out of more than 170 reviews, the regional bank received a “bad” rating on Trustpilot; that said, many of those reviews relate to banking services rather than home equity products.
In the news
In October 2025, Huntington Bank announced plans to acquire Cadence Bank, a regional bank headquartered in Mississippi and Texas. If the deal closes, Huntington expects to expand its operations to 21 states. Earlier in the year, the bank acquired Veritex Community Bank, based in Texas.
