Huntington Bank is closed on Columbus Day

Huntington Bank observes Columbus Day as a federal holiday and closes all branches on that day. This means you cannot visit a branch, use the drive-through, or speak to a teller in person. The bank reopens the following business day at its normal hours, which vary by location but typically start between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.

Columbus Day falls on the second Monday of October each year. In 2024, that is October 14. In 2025, it is October 13. If you need banking services on that day, you will need to plan ahead or use digital options.

Key Takeaways

  • All Huntington Bank branches close on Columbus Day; no in-person services are available.
  • You can still use ATMs, mobile banking, and online banking on Columbus Day to check balances, transfer money, and pay bills.
  • If you need cash or a service that requires a teller, plan to visit on the Friday before or the Tuesday after the holiday.
  • Some Huntington Bank customer service phone lines may have reduced hours or delayed response times on Columbus Day.

What you can and cannot do on Columbus Day

You cannot walk into a Huntington branch, use the drive-through window, or speak to a teller on Columbus Day. You also cannot use the bank's in-person services like opening a new account, getting a cashier's check, or discussing a loan in person.

You can still access your money and perform many transactions through digital channels. ATMs work 24/7, so you can withdraw cash, deposit checks (if your ATM has mobile deposit), and check your balance. Mobile banking and online banking remain available, so you can transfer funds between accounts, pay bills, send money to other people, and review your transaction history.

If you need to deposit a check and your ATM does not have mobile deposit, you will need to wait until the bank reopens. The same applies if you need to order new checks, report a lost card in person, or discuss account issues with a banker.

Planning ahead for holiday closures

Huntington Bank closes on all federal holidays, not just Columbus Day. Other closure dates include New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. If you know you will need in-person banking services, visit a branch on the business day before the holiday.

If you are expecting a deposit or payment to post on Columbus Day, timing depends on the type of transaction. Direct deposits from your employer typically post on schedule even if the bank is closed, because they are processed overnight. Bill payments you schedule online may post the next business day instead, depending on when you submit them. Checks you deposit at an ATM on Columbus Day will be processed when the bank reopens.

If you have a time-sensitive transaction, such as paying a bill before a due date that falls on or near Columbus Day, submit it at least one business day early. This gives the bank time to process it and prevents late fees.

Using Huntington's digital services during closures

Huntington's mobile app and website let you handle most routine banking without visiting a branch. You can check account balances, review recent transactions, transfer money between your own accounts, and pay bills to companies and people. You can also set up alerts for low balances, large transactions, or upcoming bill due dates.

If you need to deposit a check, use mobile deposit through the app if your account supports it. Take a photo of the front and back of the check, enter the amount, and submit it. The check clears within one to two business days. This works on Columbus Day and any other day the branch is closed.

For questions about your account that do not require a teller, you can contact Huntington's customer service by phone. Response times may be longer on holidays, and some lines may have reduced staffing, but the bank typically maintains basic customer support.

What to do if you need cash on Columbus Day

Use an ATM to withdraw cash on Columbus Day. Huntington ATMs are available 24/7, and you can withdraw up to your daily limit. If you do not know your limit, check your account settings in the mobile app or call customer service before the holiday.

If you need more cash than your daily ATM limit allows, withdraw the maximum amount on the Friday before Columbus Day. If you use ATMs outside the Huntington network, you may pay a fee, so plan to use a Huntington ATM when possible.

If you need cash but do not have access to an ATM, ask a friend or family member to transfer money to you through a peer payment app like Venmo or PayPal, or arrange a cash transfer through your bank's app if that feature is available on your account.
