COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Huntington Bank
today announced efforts to assist customers who are federal
employees impacted by the U.S. government shutdown.
Huntington will automatically waive all overdraft-related fees
on existing Huntington checking accounts of customers identified as
current government employees affected by the shutdown. Refunds on
overdraft fees will be backdated to December

Beginning January 7, Huntington
will offer a low rate, quick loan program for qualified Huntington
customers who are federal employees needing special assistance
during the shutdown. The program will be available for 30 days or
until the shutdown ends – whichever is sooner.

shutdown," said Andy Harmening,
Director of Consumer and Business Banking. "We also believe in
looking out for our customers who need assistance during this
time."
