I had a negative experience with this bank a few years ago. They froze my account when I tried to transfer funds and attempted to force me to go into a branch, the closest of which was 100s of miles away, to have it unfrozen. Took a complaint with the now-neutered CFPB for them to give in.

Quote from MuTex :
The link states "No monthly maintenance fee with $1,000 in total monthly deposits, or $5,000 in total relationship balances, otherwise $10 a month"
Hopefully the $1,000 in monthly deposits can be from another bank to avoid monthly fee, and not necessarily direct deposit like payroll etc. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks.
I saw that as well, this is what I'm going to try. Even if I get hit with $10 fee, the $400 is still better than average.

why is the distance a problem? Does online banking not work for you?
Because another poster mentioned that they froze his account and required him to go to the nearest branch to unfreeze.

What qualifies as a direct deposit at Huntington?
You can add 500 to Venmo to cash app then do transfer to bank (1-3 days) and it shows as Direct deposit

Huntington is a joke. It doesn't allow resident aliens to open an account, because they don't have correct form for this specific type. They only have forms for permanent resident alien and non-resident aliens.

I called because I read it wrong and thought the bonus would be deposited in 14 days. I was told that the third requirement means the account has to be open 90 days before the bonus is issued within 14 days of that. I personally have about 2 more weeks of waiting before I call them back.

After 4 months of external transfers via ACH that showed up in their own system as "Direct Deposit", they then claimed that they didn't count since they weren't a direct deposit from a payroll system. they are perfectly fine violating their won terms and conditions. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HUNTINGTON BANK!

Thanks OP! I received the $400 with no issues. However, I experienced difficulty withdrawing some money from this account about a month ago and resided once the bonus was received, I would bail. I don't know if this was a one off or a bigger issue with this bank.

Don't do business with Huntington Bank.
Since the terms didn't exclude an external transfer via ACH from an outside bank, I made periodic ACH deposits via external bank transfer higher than their minimums. When the 90 days was up, I talked to multiple phone brokers, one phone manager, two in branch managers, and multiple corporate appeals people. The corporates claimed that an ACH transfer from an external bank was a real time transfer and not a direct deposit. Even more angering, the transactions had a "Type" description in their system of "Direct Deposit". I've added Huntington Bank to my black list, along with Key Bank and All America Bank. Those three play serious shenanigans, although this is the first one to outright reject any introspection that their terms had poor wording choices relative to what they chose to honor.
