The app didn't download. What's going on?

Answer: Most of the time you will not be required to re-register. However, some security updates made to the Huntington Mobile app to protect customer information will require re-registration.

Mobile App Login and Security

What is Mobile Secure Login and why does the app now include it?

Answer: For the security of your accounts, your Huntington Username and Password are required in order to access the app. As an added level of security, Huntington also requires you to register your mobile device with us. We call it Mobile Secure Login. Registering your device enables us to tie your specific mobile device to your login credentials, which allows us to identify you with both something you know (your username and password) and something you have (your mobile device).

What if I do not see my desired contact method in the list?

Answer: Log into huntington.com and update your phone number or email under the My Profile section. (To see the newly provided information in the Huntington Mobile app, you’ll need to log out and then log back in).

What if I request a registration code and do not receive it?

Answer: Codes are sent immediately when requested. If you did not receive the code within a few minutes, please ensure your contact information is correct and that you are selecting the correct method. You may then request a new registration code.

What if I request a registration code be texted and do not receive it?

Answer:

First, please ensure that the phone number you selected can receive text messages. Second, check the list of our participating carriers to see if your mobile carrier is supported. Lastly, it may be because you or your carrier has blocked messages from short codes. Huntington sends these registration text messages from our short code 446622. Please call your mobile carrier and ask about short code messaging.

Can the registration code that I receive be used multiple times?

Answer: No, the registration code that is sent to you can only be used to register one mobile device. It will expire once you successfully enter it on the registration page (or after 30 minutes if left unused).

How long are registration codes valid?

Answer: Registration codes expire 30 minutes from the time of your request. If you enter the registration code on the registration page and receive an error message, please verify that you are entering the six-digit number correctly and properly entering your password before trying again. For your security, accounts will be suspended if too many unsuccessful attempts are made.

How many attempts do I have to enter my registration code correctly?

Answer: You have five attempts to enter the registration code correctly.

What is my Security Question?

Answer: If you received your registration code via email, you’ll be required to answer a security question.

The click Update My Security Questions.

To delete a device, tap the Edit button and select the device(s) you wish to delete by tapping the small red circle(s) next to them. Then, tap Delete to unregister the device(s) from your account.

Why is my device showing up multiple times in my registered devices list?

Answer: If you’ve previously registered your device and then deleted and reinstalled the Huntington Mobile app, you may see your device displayed more than once in the list. If you wish, you may remove the device entry used longest ago. Unused devices will be removed after 90 days.

Why is my device displaying as unrecognized when I know I previously chose to remember it?

Answer: Occasionally, changes to your device such as operating system upgrades will require you to re-register with Huntington. Also, if you haven’t used your device to access your accounts in 90 days, you may be required to register it again. We ask this of our customers as a security measure.

What accounts can be used to pay bills?

Answer: Any eligible checking account can be used for bill payments. In the Huntington Mobile app, your eligible accounts are automatically listed on the Payment Summary screen when you tap From.

When I'm making a bill payment in the app, when are funds removed from my account?

Answer: Huntington deducts the money from your account on the payment date you specify. Here are the different scenarios that could occur.

  • Weekday, before 8:00 p.m. ET: If you make a bill payment and schedule it for the current day, and it's a weekday, before 8:00 p.m. ET, Huntington deducts the money from the funding account right away.
  • Weekday, after 8:00 p.m. ET: If you make a bill payment and schedule it for the current day, and it's a weekday, after 8:00 p.m. ET, Huntington deducts the money from the funding account on the morning of the next business day. Business days are Monday through Friday and do not include bank holidays. (So if you make a bill payment on Friday after 8:00 p.m. ET, keep in mind that it won't be processed until Monday morning.)
  • Weekend or Holiday: If you make a bill payment and schedule it for the current day, and it’s the weekend or a bank holiday, Huntington deducts the money from the funding account on the morning of the next business day.
  • Future Payments: If you schedule a bill payment for a particular day in the future, Huntington will deduct the money from the funding account on the morning of the day on which it is scheduled. If your scheduled date falls on a weekend or bank holiday, then the funds will be deducted on the morning of the next business day.

When should I schedule payments?

Answer: Electronic payments should be scheduled at least 2 business days before payment is due. Payments mailed via U.S. Postal Service should be scheduled at least 5 business days before payment is due. You can tell whether a payee receives electronic or mailed payments by noting the icon related to the payee on the “Pay Bills” screen. If the icon is a lightning bolt, the payment will be sent electronically; if the icon is an envelope, a check will be mailed to the payee.

Answer: Quick Balance provides mobile customers with a more convenient way to view account balance information. With just a single tap on the login page, you can easily access your checking, savings, money market and/or Voice Credit Card® account balances. This is an optional feature and customers must opt-in prior to using the feature. Simply follow the instructions on the login screen of the app.

What accounts are eligible for Quick Balance?

Answer: Currently, Quick Balance is only available for checking, savings, money market, and Voice Credit Card® accounts.

How secure is the Quick Balance feature?

Answer: Quick Balance uses your username and your registered device to authenticate your account prior to displaying account balances. Therefore, to use the Quick Balance feature, you must first have your phone registered through the device registration process and your username populated (either by typing it in or having it previously saved). Account nickname, masked account number, and current balance are the only information that is displayed for accounts you have enabled for this feature. This information is similar to that displayed for account alerts, ATM receipts, and bank statements. You have the choice as to whether to turn ON this feature both as a global app setting and at an individual account-level setting.

How are the accounts named that are displayed on the mobile app?

Answer: The first 20 characters of the account nickname that you have provided within online banking along with the last four digits of the account number (the number that Huntington assigned to identify this account) will be displayed on both the login page and the settings page. In the absence of a nickname, this defaults to the first 20 characters of the account type. This name is the same name that is used on the Accounts screen within the app.

How will the balances be displayed on the app?

Answer: Your current account balance(s) will be displayed formatted as currency, e.g. $500.00.

Which account balance(s) will be displayed on the login screen of the app?

Answer: We only display the balances for accounts that you have turned on using Quick Balance. To adjust the accounts displayed, simply log into the app. Then tap on Menu in the bottom navigation bar. In My Settings, you have the ability to turn eligible accounts On or Off.

What does the balance displayed include?

Answer: Your account balance reflects the sum of today's beginning balance plus any pending transactions.

What is "today's beginning balance?"

Answer: Today’s beginning balance is the amount in your account after the previous business day's processing. This balance does not consider today's transactions, transactions that post on weekends or holidays, or overdraft lines of credit. Transactions clear Mondays through Fridays except holidays. Example: A transaction that arrived Saturday would be processed Monday and would appear in Tuesday's beginning balance.

What are "pending transactions?"

Answer: Pending transactions are electronic transactions that will be processed today. There may be other transactions (checks, mobile deposits, etc.) that are not included, but nevertheless will be processed today as well.

Does the balance displayed within Quick Balance include overdraft protection?

Answer: No, the account balance(s) displayed within Quick Balance does not include Overdraft Protection (line of credit).

How will my balance display within Quick Balance if I have overdrawn my account?

Answer: If your account is overdrawn, the account balance will display within Quick Balance with a negative sign, e.g. - $20.00.

I lost my phone and I have Quick Balance enabled. What should I do?

Answer: You have two courses of action and both are equally secure. You can either change your username at huntington.com, or call us at (800) 480-2265, daily 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET.to have your phone removed from our system. Either action will cause the authentication to fail, and as a result, balances will no longer be displayed pre-login on your lost phone.

Can I transfer money between banks on my mobile device?

Answer: Yes, you can transfer funds to and from other financial institutions with the Huntington Mobile app. Just open the app and tap the Transfers icon in the bottom. Under Accounts With Other Banks, tap Transfer Funds.

Please note that you must have the external account already set up to be able to view transfer limits.
