COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Huntington
(Nasdaq: HBAN; www.huntington.com) announced today the launch of
Zelle on its mobile and online banking platforms.
Zelle enables person-to-person (P2P) payment capabilities for
all Huntington consumer banking customers, in direct response to
customer feedback, and as part of its purpose to look out for
people.
The launch of Zelle is another central element to the
next chapter in how Huntington is investing in and enhancing its
digital and mobile customer experience.
"At Huntington, we're continually exploring new and innovative
ways to enhance our customer experience in line with our purpose to
look out for people – and we're proud to bring Zelle's
capabilities to our customers," said Andy
Harmening, Huntington's Senior Executive Vice President and
Director of Consumer and Business Banking. "P2P payments play an
increasingly important role in the digital banking ecosystem and
offering Zelle in our app provides our customers with
another convenient payment management tool making it fast and easy
to move money."
The introduction of Zelle comes quickly on the heels of
the launch of The Hub, Huntington's new digital banking
experience, which is built to proactively look out for customers
and their financial future with a focus on people-first,
technology-enabled delivery and solutions.
Free to all Huntington customers, The Hub is designed to help
customers save more money, manage their spending and keep their
financial goals front and center. The newest iteration of The Hub
now includes Heads Up, a digital messaging program designed
to provide insights into customer spending and saving to enable
more informed decisions about their money.
Zelle allows for funds to be sent from one bank
account to another, typically within minutes by using only a
recipient's email address or U.S. mobile phone number. The
Zelle Network® currently includes more than
95 million customers at banks of all sizes.
