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 in person, use the drive-through, or speak to a banker at a physical location. However, you can still use online banking, mobile banking, and ATMs.

Columbus Day falls on the second Monday in October each year. In 2024, that is October 14. In 2025, it will be October 13. If you need to do banking on that day, plan to use digital channels instead of visiting a branch.

Key Takeaways

  • Huntington Bank branches close on Columbus Day, but ATMs and online banking remain available.
  • Columbus Day is the second Monday in October, so the exact date changes each year.
  • If you need to deposit a check or withdraw cash on Columbus Day, use an ATM or mobile deposit through the Huntington app.
  • Customer service phone lines may have reduced hours or be closed; check Huntington's website for specific times.
  • Plan ahead if you need to speak with a banker — schedule a call or visit for the day before or after the holiday.

What you can do on Columbus Day without a branch

Huntington's ATMs work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including Columbus Day. You can withdraw cash, deposit checks (if your ATM has a deposit slot), and check your balance at any Huntington ATM or at ATMs in the MoneyPass network, which Huntington participates in.

The Huntington mobile app lets you deposit checks by taking a photo of the front and back. You can also transfer money between accounts, pay bills, and check your balance. Online banking through Huntington's website works the same way — all the tools you use on a regular day are available on Columbus Day.

If you need to send money to someone outside Huntington, you can set up a wire transfer or external transfer through the app or website before the holiday. The transaction will process when the bank reopens.

When branches reopen after Columbus Day

Huntington branches reopen on the next business day after Columbus Day. If Columbus Day falls on a Monday, branches reopen on Tuesday morning at their regular opening time, which is typically 9 a.m., though some locations may open at 8 a.m. Check your specific branch's hours on Huntington's website or by calling ahead.

If you have a time-sensitive need — such as a large cash withdrawal, a notary service, or a meeting with a banker — call your branch the day before Columbus Day to schedule an appointment for the day it reopens. This ensures someone will be available to help you.

Other federal holidays when Huntington closes

Huntington observes the same federal holidays as most U.S. banks: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. On each of these days, branches are closed but ATMs and online banking remain open.

Some states observe additional holidays. For example, some Huntington locations in certain states may close on Election Day or other state-specific holidays. Check with your local branch if you are unsure whether a particular day affects your banking.

Planning ahead for holiday banking

If you know you will need cash or need to make a deposit before a holiday, do it the day before. This prevents you from being caught without access to funds. If you receive a check close to a holiday, deposit it through mobile deposit as soon as possible so the funds clear before the bank closes.

For bills that are due around a holiday, set up automatic payments through your Huntington account ahead of time. This way, the payment goes through even if you cannot visit a branch or call customer service on the holiday itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my Huntington debit card on Columbus Day?

Yes. Your debit card works at any merchant, ATM, or online retailer on Columbus Day. The holiday only affects Huntington's physical branches and customer service phone lines — it does not affect your ability to spend money or access your account through digital channels.

Will my direct deposit process on Columbus Day?

Direct deposits scheduled for Columbus Day may arrive a day late, depending on when your employer sends the deposit. Most employers process payroll the business day before a federal holiday, so your deposit may hit your account on Friday if Columbus Day is on Monday. Check with your employer's payroll department if you are unsure of the timing.

What if I need to speak to customer service on Columbus Day?

Huntington's phone lines may be closed or have reduced hours on Columbus Day. Check Huntington's website or call ahead the day before to confirm. For non-urgent questions, use the find message feature in the Huntington app or website to contact your branch — they will respond when they reopen.

Can I still pay my Huntington credit card bill on Columbus Day?

Yes. You can pay your bill through the Huntington app, website, or by phone using automated systems. If you mail a check, send it several days early so it arrives before the holiday and does not miss your due date.

Are Huntington loan payments due on Columbus Day?

If your loan payment is due on Columbus Day, it is typically due the next business day instead. Contact Huntington ahead of time to confirm the new due date, or set up automatic payments so you do not have to worry about holiday scheduling.
